The Daily Times has a follow up [1] with remarks from the monkeys.
Also, an audio recording [2] of Cunningham's remarks.
What's more troubling than the "monkey" and "loon" and "hog" remarks is that he refers to "my commission" and "my circuit judge."
And that "not from around here" stuff, that's a great recruiting tool for jobs and industry, especially the new R&D park.
