Drake had said if it was up to him, he would “throw them off the Sunshine Skyway Bridge and be done with it.” Olbermann responded, “You first, asshole!” 
 
 Olbermann finished his segment by saying “There it is, America 2011, laws written by sociopaths like Brad Drake inspired by bloodthirsty goobers he met at the Waffle House!” 
 
 Olbermann’s obscenity aired uncensored. The lefty political commentator may have been making a legitimate point that Drake was foolish to base capital punishment laws on conversations he’s had at breakfast fast-food chains, but gratuitously hurling invective at the politician debases our political discourse and makes his entire network look bad. 
 
 MSNBC suspended Mark Halperin for calling President Obama a dick. It seems unlikely Al Gore will punish his flagship star at all for his use of profanity on the air, but viewers of his channel deserve better.

 Rep. Brad Drake filed a bill this week that would end the use of lethal injection in Florida executions. Instead, those with a death sentence would choose between electrocution or a firing squad. 
 
 Drake, a Republican, said the idea came to him after having a conversation with a constituent at a Waffle House over the legal battles associated with the Sept. 28 execution of Manuel Valle. 
 
 Valle's lawyers tried to stop the execution by arguing that a new lethal drug cocktail would cause him pain and therefore constitute cruel and unusual punishment. Courts, however, rejected that argument and let the execution go forward. 
 
 But Drake said the person at the restaurant questioned why death row inmates should even be allowed to die by lethal injection. Drake said he agreed and decided to sponsor the bill that would mandate a switch. The GOP-controlled Florida Legislature will consider the bill during the 2012 session that starts in January. 
 
 He said government is spending too much time listening to advocacy groups and instead should put in place a death sentence that forces convicted murderers to contemplate their fates. 
 
 Lethal injection just allows a person to die in their sleep while a firing squad or electrocution would force death row inmates to think about their punishment "every morning," Drake said. 
 
 "I think if you ask a hundred people, not even talking to criminals, how would you like to die, if you were drowned, if you were shot, and if you say you were put to sleep, 90 percent of some of the people would say I want to be put to sleep," Drake said. "Let's put our pants back on the right way." 
 
 Florida first began using the electric chair in 1924. Before then, most executions were carried out by hanging. 
 
 But the state switched to lethal injection in 2000. Then-Gov. Jeb Bush and the Republican-controlled Legislature pushed through the change after several botched electrocutions raised concerns that the state's death penalty would be declared unconstitutional. The U.S. Supreme Court had agreed at the time to hear a challenge to the use of the electric chair. 
 
 Since the state made the switch, a total of 26 people have died by lethal injection, including Valle and serial killers Danny Rolling and Aileen Wuornos. 
 
 Howard Simon, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Florida, said Drake's legislation would just cause embarrassment for Florida if it were adopted. 
 
 "Just when you thought that public policy in Florida couldn't get worse, along comes a state rep who develops proposed legislation from what he overhears at the Waffle House," Simon said. "Given all that former members of the Florida Supreme Court and the American Bar Association have said about Florida's broken death penalty system, including the nation's highest number of exonerations, this would be embarrassing _ if our legislature were capable of embarrassment." 
 
 But Drake said that those who caused suffering and grief for families should get their day of reckoning. 
 
 "I just don't think they should be able to get off that easy," he said.
– Lethal injection is just such a pleasant way to die. At least according to Florida state Rep. Brad Drake, who wants to put an end to the execution method in the state. He argues that Death Row killers shouldn't be allowed to "get off that easy"; the electric chair would be more appropriate he says—as would a firing squad. Drake this week filed a bill that would put an end to lethal injection and give convicts facing death the choice of the latter two, reports the AP. "I think if you ask a hundred people, not even talking to criminals, how would you like to die, if you were drowned, if you were shot, and if you say you were put to sleep, 90% of some of the people would say I want to be put to sleep," says the Republican, who apparently equates lethal injection with taking a permanent nap. "Let's put our pants back on the right way," Drake urges, adding that his proposed switch would force death row inmates to think about their punishment "every morning." And they'd be getting off easy, because, as reported by the Florida Current, if it were up to Drake, "we would just throw them off the Sunshine Skyway bridge and be done with it." Mediaite notes that Keith Olbermann is not a fan of the idea. (Click for another odd political push in Florida.)
