Death Star to seek more conciliatory approach?
Andrew DeMillo says Bob "Death Star" Johnson is looking at ways to soften his image and strengthen his legacy as the new session approaches. Top priorities for the senator will include working out the details for the lottery and helping Central Arkansas Water buy land in the Maumelle watershed to protect it from development. Johnson actually did the opposite in 2005, when he sought to allow construction of large homes in the area.
Johnson also talks about leaving "The Brotherhood" at the door when it's time to get to work.
"This stuff about the brotherhood and otherhood has its place in the media culture but when I put my game face on and get ready for the session, I leave it at the door," Johnson said.

A better moniker would be "Bullshit Bob".

Dear Senator Johnson;
Actions speak louder than words. Let sine die be the judge of whether you've 'left it at the door'.
Thanks

"Game face"? Really?
Sounds like somebody suffered a few too many concussions in high school.

I first met Bob at the UAF. He was a leader then and I believe that he has the best interests of Arkansas in his heart today. I have not talked with Bob in years, but trust me, he is a leader that all of us should be proud of, especially those of us who do not jump into the public arena of public policy.
