The Allman Brothers, Fred Flintstone and Motorcycles in the House
Submitted by Kevin Derby on April 28, 2010 - 11:26am
In one of the more surreal moments of the House session, Born to Be Wild by Steppenwolf and Ramblin Man by the Allman Brothers kicked in and a customized Harley motorcycle was wheeled on the floor.
The chopper was a prop for House members, led by Ron Reagan, to give a bunch of gifts to Speaker Larry Cretul, R-Ocala, including two cycle jackets and a helmet signed by every member of the House. They also gave him a license plate. Speaker Cretul is a long time biker who owns his own customized cycle.
Cretul also got a picture of Majority Leader Adam Hasners head on Fred Flinstones body -- a reference to Cretul comparing himself to Barney Rubble in his first speech of the session.
