Hand me the popcorn!

Geez! I can't tell who's more stupid - Mississippi democrats or Mississippi republicans. I think I'll move to Arkansas.

You ain't nowhere near the drooling partisan KF that Eichelberger has become. He makes Ladd look like an actual journalist.

I'm bringing the Matilda

Do you think Phil was dumb enough to actually make these comments? And if so, I wonder who went public.

What about the one about "I'd put the Capital on wheels, if I could"

To 3:45 -- yes.

True story or not it was a stupid move by Matt. Most of the attorneys who know him in my firm are openly questioning his smarts on this.

To 3:45, yes Phil is 'dumb enough' to make these - or other - comments. That doesn't mean I necessarily believe that he made them; that would require me believing that he was smart enough to figure out such a scenario.

Worse, he is 'dumb enough' to actually believe the scenario. Still, I don't necessarily buy into the fact that he made such a comment.

And I say all this while being (currently) a supporter of Phil's.

But who I find even dumber is McCoy, for him to write these two letters and 'demand' a reply. He is responding to an internet post - from someone that doesn't put their name on the post. Its a RUMOR, Mr. Speaker. Until you have something more than an internet blog's statement, I wouldn't be writing letters to the Lt Gov and the Gov demanding a response. And even if Phil may have made such a statement, if it was only 'his belief' then why would McCoy demand a response from the Governor. Not even Cottonmouth has implied that HRB has anything to do with this molehill.

Mush-Mouth McCoy vs. Pheathered-Phro Phil...it would be entertaining if it didn't prove what a sad shape we are in.

Instead of carefully milking the source on a continuing basis for inside information to benefit the Democrats Cottonmouth gets a big woody going and announces to Bryant that he's got a leaker in his circle.

Way to go Cottonmouth. Dumbshit.

@3:56 'it was a stupid move by Matt.' I'm coming late to the dance, but what does Matt have to do with this one? Trying to catch up.

I saw the post last night. Thought it was cute, raised my eyebrows, but wasn't going to post as you are right, its an internet rumor type post but when McCoy sends out letters, well, different story. Wish I got that kind of notice from such a personage.

Matt Eichelberger = Cottonmouth

This is stupid...
You can't believe everything you read or hear

Are we not sure all parties involved came from the same family tree, yelling I heard it while swinging from the grapevine. Now who smoked the dope while his friend swigged from the jug while getting a lap dance.

I read on the internet a UFO was reported up in Rienzi, near the McCoy farm , about the same time there bigfoot sightings in the same area.

Matt is my favorite Democrat. Period.

I'm too slow-witted to grasp why attorneys would question Eichelberger's judgment or whatever. He was scrupulous in rejecting the notion that Edith Jones, for instance, could ever be swayed in a Republican direction ....

And any judge who *would* take offense at his sounding like a Democrat, well, that train left a long time ago.

Common now, you really think that a worm farmer reads them high-falootin' blogs. I know for a fact theys only get that innernet in Rienzi on Thursday's cuz that's when the truck delivers it. I tried it once, but couldn't figure out that ganglion of wires.

Them folks on that ole MSNBC station are actually freak'n out. Their eyes are rolling back upon their heads.

I want to join one of them Yankee Wisconsin Unions.

I learned that at the Narcotics training prevention unit up in Rienzi, Mis'sippi.

Phil Bryant is the perfect example of The Peter Principle.

I never really liked Phil, (although I have always voted republican). Something just didn't seem right, then when the tordado hit Yazoo City last year and he called 97.3 said, "I'm headed to Yazoo City with my chainsaw". That was it for me, he was campaigning at those poor folks expense. Of course I am sure he never used that chainsaw, if he even had one.

It's never Phil's fault

Yes and remember his comment made on the Gulf Coast after the oil spill, to the effect that he didn't smell any oil except maybe from some lawnmowers...

I find it very difficult to believe that Eichelberger simply made stuff up. Some Repub opponent of Bryant's surely told E. something.

Now, whether that Repub was shading the truth, who knows.

But it defies good sense that Bryant would say such things to a mixed group of Repubs, as if he imagined he was already the GOP nominee.

Of course, that is precisely the issue: Bryant's good sense.

The Clarion Ledger corroborates Cottonmouth's blog entry.

Sorry. If anything the C-L refutes key accusations Matt Eichelberger made and draws into question his own veracity and credibility.

It never ceases to amaze me when political party loyalists complain privately or anonymously that they know one of their own is incompetent and/or corrupt, but then say they vote for him anyway.

These same folks also complain bitterly about how wasteful and bad government is. Well...DUH.

Perhaps if the political parties would clean their own houses first, a task they are more likely to accomplish, they would find that competent elected officials with integrity do a better job!

At least , partisans stop rationalizing your poor candidates as " better than the alternative" when what's really going on is hoping with your party in power YOU will benefit. This ain't about " good government", it's about power. If it weren't , we'd have good government as your party wouldn't certify and certainly not support some of these losers.

FWIW I saw my first Dave Dennis For Governor bumper sticker in Madison yesterday. Looks like a campaign has moved into gear.

I urge people of Mississippi to look at Dave Dennis for Governor. He wants to run the government like a business i.e., don't spend more than you take in. He is not a career politician and seems to be pretty level headed. And doesn't seem to be a good ol' boy. Is that actually possible in MS?

I really hope that people are paying attention to Phil's actions. There seems to be a pattern here. What will the Republicans do without Haley? This state seriously needs someone smarter than Phil Bryant. I don't know who that is yet, but there has to be someone better.

9:14, yep. I have a Dave Dennis yard sign on my street already. I thought, that's a hard core fan. Kind of early.

Matt out of both sides of his ...

Dave Dennis is a JOKE

Dave Dennis is a joke? Would you rather Dave Dennis run your business or Phil Bryant? Honest question.

Dave Dennis is by far the better candidate in my opinion, but I'm not sure he's getting the message to enough people.

12:34 curious why you say that... or are you PB in disguise???

1:46, I thought the same thing...or at least one of his cronies.

I had a conversation with Phil at a grand opening event a few months ago, and after about 5 minutes I started counting his "I"s. About 25. It is all about Phil. I actually left the conversation first.

Had a conversation with Dave Dennis at the Newt Gingrich dinner, he really is a JOKE

The joke is the rube, redneck PB. Better raise a lot of money in those $5/plate catfish Rankin County redneck fundraisers.

Gary Rhoades will make a PERFECT MC.

UNFORTUNATELY, THE FINAL JOKE WILL PROBABLY BE ON THE STATE OF MISSISSIPPI.

7:30, go F yourself. You have yet to back up any of your JOKE comments. I am certain you must be from PB's camp.

I am worried.

Haley is a one of a kind policy leader.

Questions are:
1. Is Phil the guy to take his place?
2. Who the heck is Dave Dennis?
3. Why would any candidate run as a Democrat?
4. Is MS in a situation where the R leadership is thin?

If you are worried Kappy stay the hell home and hide in your closet until the storm passes.
