The AJC accurately notes: House Speaker Glenn Richardson's lashing out is characteristic of his personality and leadership style.

An editorial in the AJC accurately observes the unfortunate status of things with respect to leadership in the Georgia House:

[House Speaker Glenn] Richardson's response to [a matter was] characteristic of his personality and leadership style. When he doesn't get his way, he lashes out against his perceived enemies, just as he did in the middle of the 2008 General Assembly when he took away the committee assignments and leadership roles of fellow Republicans who wouldn't vote the way he wanted them to.
