Bill Minor, do you really want to go there?

Bill Minor wrote about the current Senate race between Musgrove and Wicker:
"In his current TV attack ads, Wicker lambastes Musgrove’s governorship and says that Musgrove’s “ethical conduct was an embarrassment to the state.” Asked by a reporter for Jackson TV station WAPT what “ethical conduct” he was talking about, Wicker sputtered that he “wasn’t sure,” and that “I’m not familiar with that part of the commercial.” Yet, at the opening of the TV spot he says, “I’m Roger Wicker and I approve this message.”
Certainly he couldn’t have meant Musgrove’s no-fault divorce in 2001 from his wife of 24 years. Not in the same league with Kirk’s “Fordice follies!”

Bill, do you REALLY want to bring up this issue? Perhaps we should discuss a former campaign official of the former Democrat Governor who became an official of his administration and then went to work for an agency that had a nice contract with an auto manufacturer that operates a plant in Mississippi at the same time he was going through a divorce.

You're right Bill, it wasn't in the same league. Especially when she was married (at least during the campaign against Mike Parker. Oh well, her husband never struck me as being too bright). Go ahead Bill, I'm sure you know exactly what I'm talking about. Maybe the stroke HAS affected your thinking. Start bringing up the marital issues. There is PLENTY to go around on BOTH sides.

So sad. Minor is suffering from "I used to be relevant to the debate" and can't just shut up and go away. He's one to be talking about marriages, isn't HIS son a philandering FELON? We'll not so much philandering as FELON now since he's all locked up right now. But wait, there is hope, Paul could get out and hit the town on appeal. Daddy should be so proud...

I hate to say this but going to jail might have been the best thing to happen to Paul Minor.

I'm being serious, not sarcastic. He obviously had a drinking problem and was out of control. Usually someone with that kind of problem has to hit rock bottom or have something pretty severe, like going back to jail, happen to him to get his attention. In this case, it sent him back to jail but compared to the alternative, it probably did him a favor and I'm willing to bet that at some point he will admit it.

Its tragic what is going on with his wife but that is the problem with convicts, its always the families who suffer for their misdeeds, alot of times more than the convict does. I knew a lady whose husband was a stockbroker. Stayed home, took care of the kids, nice home, good Christian lady, then boom, he is arrested for embezzling, all accounts are frozen, cars and house are seized, she is out on the street with nothing but her and her kids and at the mercy of others. Meanwhile, he is sitting in prison with 3 squares and a roof, better than she and the kids had. Considering it was millions, yes, he needed to be in jail.

I compliment Musgrove's wife for not letting that divorce get ugly. The governor himself, and the lady involved should have known better.

Sometimes both Minors should just keep their mouth shut--but, on the same token, Wicker shouldn't have gone there either.

I think Wicker was referring more to the Beef Plant fiasco and taking money from Scruggs.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).

Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.

In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Trollfest '07

Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.
