Another Wife Beater Bites the Dust?

 

No, this isn't about Jay Barker, but we'll throw something in later for his fans. This is about the Public Service Commission.

We have a feeling that most voters in the state couldn't care less who serves on that three member board, but a weekend incident should make Place 1 voting slightly easier. John Hammock is running against the incumbent and another challenger in the May Republican primary. Hammock is also the current mayor of Tallassee, but hopefully not for long.

Orange Beach police have arrested Hammock for First Degree Domestic Violence. This is the second DV charge for the candidate. Will Hammock now drop out? Will the Republican Party kick him off the ballot? 

If by some miracle Hammock remains on the ballot, just remember he's the one not to vote for...

Just so you won't be disappointed, we'll touch on Jay Barker. Here's a few documented facts:

1. Barker's wife petitioned for divorce in August, and so far the Alabama football icon has refused to respond to any of the court filings. 

2. Three others in Sara Evans vehicle attested to the alleged incident. One was Evans' daughter from her first marriage. 

3. Barker now lives in Homewood; in other words, no where near the home where the incident took place. Little details like that do bring up vague thoughts of stalking.

Barker probably doesn't need to worry about his image. Just look at how many football fans adored Ken Stabler until his dying day.
