'Moving can be a pain,' columnist WarOnDumb writes of a north Alabama state legislator, 'but for one Alabama lawmaker, moving has been far more difficult than it is for most folks.' 'Rep. David Cole just can’t seem to make it work.'

State Rep. David Cole, R-Huntsville, says he intended to move to a friend's house when he ran for the Alabama House in that district, even though he doesn't know how many bedrooms or bathrooms it has and he doesn't seem to have ever spent a night there.

Before that redistricting, Cole’s house in Madison was in District 10 and he had ambitions to run for that office after state Rep. Mike Ball, R-Madison, retired. Perhaps, it’s no wonder moving was so hard when Cole and his wife had no bedrooms and no bathrooms to move into, much less a kitchen or a place to kick back and watch TV.

It’s a pain, but Cole seems to have found a novel solution. He hasn’t done hardly any of those things, or so heOne of my colleagues, Lee Roop, did me a favor and drove by Cole’s house, the one that’s not in the district he represents and … yep, still folks living in it. However, Cole did change his drivers license and his voter registration. From his deposition, these seem to be the only things Cole did change.
