Gambling: Like the Black Death, only worse

Alabama Attorney General Troy King and state Christian Coalition President John Giles have had a very public falling-out over gambling in the last week, with Giles griping that King, who has gone after gambling fairly aggressively throughout his tenure, somehow still hasn't done enough to stop the spread of "a cancerous plague of gambling expansion in our state."

Anyway, after reading The Associated Press' story, I came away with an impression of King as the comparative voice of reason in the dispute. Seriously, I did.
