Former Hinds County District Attorney Faye Peterson announced a week ago she is running for Mayor of Jackson. Madame DeLadd had the following to say about Ms. Peterson:
"Well, you have to say one thing for Peterson: She is one tough woman. I've never quite seen the level of venom hoisted on anyone as she has gotten from political opponents (and sexist pigs) and she simply lets it roll off and keeps going.
One thing I dread, though: The bare mention of her name brings out some of the most base, abhorrent sexism from some people in this town, and at least one of them is a woman. Fortunately, we now have a "moderation" system in place for when those types show up.
Sadly, for years, Melton has pushed these kinds of memes about her, and many people parrot them without even knowing where they came from. posted by ladd on 03/07/09 at 08:41 AM"
Well, Ladd, I'll take up your challenge. Some of us don't like Ms. Peterson not because she is a woman or black but because we don't like specific actions she took while District Attorney. You want us to name a specific case and not just repeat so-called myths or generalizations? You got it. Faye Peterson intentionally tanked a case involving a gunman on a school campus. The son (and convicted drug felon) of a JSU Department head took a gun to the University and shot another student by the bookstore. The shooter just happened to be the nephew of Credell Calhoun and enjoyed the open support of many local black politicians. How did Faye throw the case you ask? Simple:
1. Did not call the victim before the grand jury.
2. Did not call the arresting officer and main witness before the grand jury.
3. Did not charge Mack with possession of a gun on a school campus. There is no self-defense defense for this claim.
When lightly questioned about it by Ladd on her radio show, Ms. Peterson said she didn't call these witnesses because she thought it was a good case of self-defense. Doesn't matter as the law on such gun possession is pretty clear. Then there is the case of the Heather Spencer case where the family was not notified of Robbie Bell's indictment for three weeks and learned about it by reading the newspaper. I've been told by them how little contact they had from Faye Peterson's office and how badly they were treated by them.
So the next time Ladd brazenly dares anyone to show specific cases where Ms. Peterson did a bad job, throw these at her. Just remember when it comes to a case like Melton/Mac are facing with the Irby case right now, Ms. Peterson has already shown her true colors and they are yellow. Its not about her sex or race but what her character was when it counted.
Note: Just found another case. There was a serial rapist sentenced to 15 years in jail this week. The victim first went to Faye Peterson's office four years ago. Nothing happened until Smith assumed office.

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.

Damn the internest. Seems almost evaday the KF is shooting holes in der cheese. He's getting on dat thing and he be wearing peeple's asses out wid dat searching engine thing. When da BS gaucho breeches drop da Kingfish is ready wid da facts. Send dem instructions on how to do it all night long ova to da JFP.
Go KF ! ! !
The only thing worse than actually being sexist and racist is people who use sex and race as a shield against legitimate criticism.
I guess it's our own fault for actually being sexist and racist in the past, but how do you go forward from here? I don't want people of color and women in office if it makes them untouchable and beyond criticism.

Ladd damn near skewered Sarah Palin with sexist comments during the campaign. Can somebody tell me how you spell hypocrite?
Oh yeah she also bounced the case against Albert "Batman" Donnelson and everyone knew he was a street kingpin that robbed, killed and sold dope on the crack infested streets of Jackson's inner city.
EXACTLY michael. Took the words out of my mouth..Ladd infuriated me in the palin days with her sexist comments. And I'm not saying that as a 'feminist' either (cuz apparently you have to be ugly to be one!) -Insert big palin wink here-
She was constantly losing cases. Considering the D.A. can pick and choose the cases she wants to try (she can offer deals and/or nol pros the others), her win record was unbelievably bad. You also have to factor in how many she's losing on appeal. Her chief litigators were totally clueless. The Court of Appeals' reversal in Sean King last fall was pretty illustrative of the way her office tried to use prior statements in lieu of live testimony as substantive evidence.
Clueless, clueless, clueless.
OMG I'm in love from just reading Stiletto's comments on here. You married? Got a sister or cute cousin?
Sorry, we're already betrothed. She even comes with a dowery.
Well hello there boys..
I'm at the salon, getting ready for tonights victim.
Yall are funny. :)
He's the funny one. I'm the cute, sensitive, somewhat neurotic (managed without meds) terribly in love with you, offer my throat to the wolf one. Pick me. (smiling slyly nudging KF to the back of the line)
Cute. Sittin here at bravo. Come on ovah.
Haha
if I hadn't just finished a bottle of wine I probably would have smart alec. ;-)
Here is what's funny cuz I'm serious. First thought I had when I saw your screename was Hot conservative girl who is deadly with a knife, not hot chick in heels.
Must be the G Gordon Liddy in me coming out.
Maybe I'm ok with that. Otherwise I would be flip-flopsGOP.
Goodnight...
Now I know what a dog that chases cars feels like, the ole "what am I gonna do if I catch it" syndrome. I guess I'll defer to KF since the Missus ain't especially fond of my "barkin' off the porch" pursuits. But dayum. I still think strong willed, opionated girls in high heels is HOT, HOT, HOT.
Did I mention hot?
KF. Brother is pursuit. I can't do wine, but I still do the adult spirits. And some of us want to remember the "good ole days." To steal a song line, "I ain't as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I ever was." I'd chase her since it's a noble pursuit, but the Missus ain't crazy bout sharing. I defer to you o' noble brother. Go fer' it and I wish you well. Really smart (n' hot too) girls is hard to find.
Dude, Stiletto ain't a woman to be chased, she's a woman to be won. She's got serious game.
I know plenty of smart and hot women around here. They are just all on ambien or zanex. ;-)
Fyi. Never had ambien or zanex in my life.
Now I'm really gone to bed. Later
I just read back over some of our little banter from last night. Now would probably be a good time to disclose that I'm married. Re-married actually. Tryin' to see how many mr. stilettos I can get under my belt before I hit 35. ;) Anyway..
So yeah. married. Does he know I'm a little untamed? uh, YEAH. Would I ever actually cheat in a million years? no. Am I conservative? yes. Strong willed? damn straight. Am I actually hot? maybe you can tell me one day.
Sorry for any confusion my mislead flirtyness may have caused. :-D
Your favorite internet tease,
leave-'em-onsGOP
Its a comment thread. No one's taking anyone seriously. ;-)
And you're too tough for any of us anyway. Any guy tough enough to be married to you we don't want any part of. hehe. I thought I was pretty good for commenting after a full bottle of cabernet.
but you know, now I do have a bone to pick with you. Since you mentioned Bravo!, now I have a craving for some of their terimasu. thanks.
So let me get this straight, we're NOT going to have an affair?! Man.. what's wrong with you!
okay. Back to politics then I guess. (pouts)
;)
Unless you've aggravated you're husband so much he might pay me to take you off of his hands. hehe.
I somehow got a feeling you already know how I am anyway.
still got that Tarimasu craving. you are a bad influence.
