United States Senator Lamar Alexander was in Knoxville on Wednesday. Brian’s Blog covered the Farragut 8:00 a.m. event. We had an anonymous Brian’s Blog reporter at the 1:30 p.m. Halls event. The Halls event was at the new Knox County Halls Senior Citizen Center. There were three, yes three E.W. Scripps Halls Slopper reporters at this one event.

The funniest exchange came when former low watt radio talk show host Lloyd Daugherty came to see and hear Senator Alexander. This would be the same Lloyd that is Chairman of the 2 guys and a fax machine Tennessee Conservative Union and the guy that brags about walking through the snow of New Hampshire to derail the Alexander for President campaign in 1996.

Senator Alexander seeing Lloyd asked “So, Lloyd. How is the radio business?” Lloyd stammered something about the owners selling the station from underneath him. This is funny because when Lloyd went off the air in early 2007 (February or March) he assured the listeners that they were in high level negotiations to land in a better situation. No Lloyd and No Kelvin since early 2007 and even our Senior Senator hasn’t missed them. Have you?
