Verbally Slapped.

Ok. So I lost a vote a little bit ago -- nothing new, really, and I had sort of figured I'd lose it as the big lady dropped the hammer on all my allies on the vote. But then, as I was working the e-mails from the gallery -- because they didn't show the amendment to anybody until after floor had already started.

Anyway, so I'm in leadership after the votes, eating some raisins from the receptionist's trail mix. I occasionally do these things.

So I'm there, chatting with another lobbyist, and the minileader comes in. Minileader looks at me and sasy "nice e-mails you sent to my caucus members, Dylan. You know, the one that didn't tell the truth."

That's right, I got called a liar in front of my colleagues by a legislator. It was freaking awesome. So I asked him to tell me where I had said something untrue, but he said "read the amendment." Anyway, I said "I did read the amendment" and he said "Well, then you know your e-mail wasn't true."

Then he walked away form me. Big man.

Anyway, I didn't know what to do and it made me very sad. So I went upstairs and sent him an e-mail asking me where I had gone wrong. He did not reply. Seriously, if he actually thinks I was lying about something, I'd sure like to know what I had been lying about. What could have made it worth saying that to me in front of a bunch of people?
