A VOTE FOR SPITE IS A VOTE FOR GEORGIA

God, I love SEC football, where you can really just be god damn ornery and spiteful, well, just because.

EDSBS � Archive � A VOTE FOR SPITE IS A VOTE FOR GEORGIA: "The House passed a resolution praising the Florida Gators on their recent National Championship. These things are usually passed unanimously and give said honoree something official to recognize whatever they accomplished.

Not so fast my friend on this one, it passed 414-1. Who in their right mind would go on record against Florida winning the championship? A misplaced Ohio State fan? Steve Spurrier%u2019s sister? Some Auburn booster?

That would be Jack Kingston, who made up the lone member of the lone anti-Florida constituency in the United States House by voting against congratulating Florida in the ceremonial resolution. You%u2019d expect us to be enraged by this, but thorny spite like that doesn%u2019t escape praise around here. We imagine the same, sick feeling we%u2019d have if a vote praising Bobby Bowden for anything came up. We%u2019d likely do the same.

That said, we still hope he gets flattened by a rolling ball of rattlesnakes while taking out the trash. Fuck you, Jack Kingston. Fuck you in your waxy, pox-ridden ear."
