Senator Chicken! That's you, Nick Gautreaux.

Un-frickin'-believable:

Senators never voted on the merits of the bill, which would ban cockfighting in the state. Instead, they voted in favor of a parliamentary maneuver by Sen. Nick Gautreaux to divert the measure to a committee that has killed similar bills in previous years.

And this part too:
Senators voted 21-16 to approve the motion by Gautreaux, D-Meaux, sending it to the Senate Agriculture Committee, which is chaired by the pro-cockfighting Sen. Mike Smith, D-Winnfield.

This is what Sen. Gautreaux sidestepped, and what Sen. Mike Smith is in favor of:

I ain't happy with Sen. Ben Nevers, either. You POS, you voted to send it back to committee, too.

Which means you can count on me voting for your opponent in the next election.
