| Description | ATLANTA (AP) -- The green tree frog took a significant leap toward becoming Georgia's official state amphibian Tuesday, with the state Senate voting unanimously to honor the tiny creatures.
With a stuffed green frog on the podium before him, Sen. Preston Smith, R-Rome, the plan's sponsor, gave a pun-filled speech in which he said the students wanted to add an amphibian to a list of state symbols including the state mammal, the state vegetable and the state song.
"I'm going to do my best to deliver a ribbiting speech," said Smith, the plan's sponsor, who alternately complained of a frog in his throat and urged colleagues to "not croak" and pass the bill. |
