Politickernj is reporting that State Senators Mike Doherty and Ray Lesniak had to be separated on the Senate floor this afternoon after Lesniak threatened to "pop" Doherty, a former West Point boxer.
Senator Richard Codey, the former Governor, held back Doherty and called it a bonding experience.
Given Lesniak's involvement, a clarification is in order. The words "blow" and "pop" mean "punch" in this piece.

Let's goad them into a charity boxing match.
We can find out if Lesniak is really a finisher or just a talker.
Well . . . Acting Governor, anyway (Codey).
There is good reason to believe the "bonding experience" Codey says he felt was with Lesniak, not Mike Doherty . . . simply because if Ray had been foolish enough to take a shot at Mike, Ray would have ended up on the loosing end of that exchange!
Mike Doherty is way too much of a gentleman to have ever started a physical altercation of any kind. But I'm also pretty damned sure he would not have -- to his detriment -- suffered a sucker punch thrown by a jerk like Lesniak.
