I Have a Deal for Speaker Jetton

Speaker Jetton is apparently curious who sent flowers to his suite during his stay in Sin City over the legislative Spring Break.  Here's what he had to say to the Kansas City Star on the matter. (scroll down to the second item):

Democrats, who in the past have taken gifts and trips from lobbyists, were clicking their tongues in disapproval over the Republican weekend in a town known for its gambling and indulgences. Someone apparently tried to let Jetton know he was under scrutiny by sending him flowers in his hotel room with a special message on the card.

"There was a card but no name," Jetton said, declining to relay the message that came with the flowers.

"It was a dig, I think," he said. "That's why I wish I could find out who sent them."

Despite what I feel certain was intended to be an ominous sounding threat, I have a deal to offer Speaker Jetton.  If he will reveal to me everyone who attended the junket, as well as who paid for the hotels, the plane and/or airfare, the expenses at the racetrack, the fees at the bathhouses, the food and booze, and any other expenses paid for by the special interests that I am not creative enough to even imagine, then I will tell him who sent the flowers.

Frankly, I am a little bit surprised that he can even remember receiving flowers, since he can't seem to remember anything else about the trip.

Speaker Jetton, do we have a deal?
