House Minority Leader Brian Bosma used his property tax cap countdown clock as a prop in a media availability again today.

Maybe that’s why House Speaker Pat Bauer felt the need to come up with a prop of his own.  Bauer had a My Man Mitch bobble head doll on his desk for his availability. 

At one point the Speaker said, “The governor’s with us here and he agrees with me almost all the time.” 

That’s when he hit the bobble head so that the doll would nod.

(BTW, the My Man Mitch bobble heads were sent to the 2008 Daniels campaign by a donor.  The campaign deemed them inappropriate.  How Bauer got one, I don’t know.)
