My favorite part:
On March 25, the Republican freshman was on the floor of the Florida House and joined in the pro-forma voice vote to admonish and impose a $1,220 fine on fellow freshman Reggie Fullwood, a Jacksonville Democrat who failed to become an elector of his district for 15 days after his election.

Artiles suggested he didn’t know what he was voting on.


“I didn’t read the complaint. I wasn’t part of the committee,” he said.


Still, the facts of Fullwood’s case were read aloud by Rep. Gary Aubuchon, chairman of the House Rules Committee.


“I vote with the chair,” Artiles explained.


“There were many votes that day.”


The House Journal shows that only two items were brought up



Yeesh...

You have to love politicians that go to work and vote for things they have no clue about.

So either he's a liar or a complete idiot who votes on measures without even knowing what he's voting for. Personally I think its a combination of both.

Yeah, why the hell would he think 'I didn't know what it is I voted for' would be an ok excuse?  'I vote with the chair.'  Do ya?  Well then, maybe we don't need you.  We just need the chair.  Hell, let's just get ourselves a king if that's how ya think the system is supposed to work?  What an idiot.

Me too. I want to be a Duke and have all land within Hazzard County, Kentucky USA. Then I'll be the Duke of Hazzard.

Oh, and a sweet orange Charger would be cool too.

Can I have Rhode Island?  It's just big enough that you can't see from end-to-end but small enough that I could survey everything in a day trip.

Only if you change it's overly long name. No state that small should have the name "The State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations".
