Carson City Update: What kind of idiots are they?

Overheard in the halls of the Legislature today. A Democrat asks a lobbyist why the gaming industry won't sign off on more fees. Allegedly said: "You lost $6 billion last year, what's $32 million more?"

To which the lobbyist said: "What kind of "f-ing" idiot are you?"

Can't vouch for that conversation. I'm told it happened. If it didn't should have, because something structural happens to the common sense piece of some legislators' brains when the Legislature is in session.
