I've worked for a member of Congress at the Capitol and I've never heard the term vice chairman for anything in either a committee or a subcommittee. You have a chair and then it's ranked on senority. So this is a rather interesting made-up term, obviously used to inflate both ego and sense of importance.

Billy Long vice chair of over eaters autonomous. That's more like it.

A trumped up title for a chump.

for you who think Billy Long is a dog, it only goes to show that people would prefer a dog over a Democrat. And in the long run, the people usually know better than the "experts."

Maybe, but that dog won't hunt. Long got elected not because he was so dang popular, but because Eckersley dared to cross the Blunt family by blowing the whistle on Matt's e-mail fiasco.
