You'll recall that during the fall election, former Rep. Rick "Haymaker" Green punched current Rep. Patrick Rose at a polling place in Dripping Springs.

Dude got off easy: a class C misdemeanor with a fine and deferred adjudication. So assuming he doesn't get in trouble for the next six months, the case will be dismissed. Which is plenty of time for him to find another Central Texas lawmaker to slug on the 2008 election day.
