hahahahaha You brought back some fun memories---the reviewers say "hated it"....but this one gets 2 snaps. haha

Who paid for this?

Its paid from leftover campaign funds which you did not contribute. Malcolm Macmillin is still in charge of the sheriff department's purse strings.

This is petty and in the inference that funds came from county funds harms JJ carefully cultivated reputation of having the facts before it launches a story.
Kim Wade

You gotta be kidding!!

No one said it come from county funds. No one. Its on his FB page and was put up there several hours ago. That means today. He's not in office yet and gee, I think that is the Sheriff's insignia on the bag.

You've got it wrong. No one said it came from county funds. No one.

It's funny but would have been completely legitimate had he waited until he was in office and run all the money through his campaign. Send in a $10 contribution and get a handsome water bottle, $20 for the man bag. There may be an issue with using the official seal of the sheriff's office, but if he's doing this through his campaign he shouldn't have any problem beyond the silly factor.

The question is not who paid for them but rather if they were paid for with campaign funds then this would launder the money into an individuals account? Since I am not a lawyer this is posed as a question.

Kingfish I think you should be flattered that they would take the time to peruse your website to make comments. The article didn't say that taxpayer dollars went toward the merchandise nor did one of the comments. The person just asked who paid for this. Kim Wade's comments made an inference to tax payer dollars in his defense. Hmmm I wonder why?

Is use of the county's insignia for profit a misappropriation of county property? Just curious.

2:01 here. KF, you got me giggling so much, I just had to look on the internet to see if "hated it" and two-snaps was still around. Lo and behold, the clips are on YouTube.

"Two special zoro snaps"---oh, thanks KF. Needed the big haha this afternoon.

Does the good (soon to be ) Hinds County Sheriff accept PayPal ?

I would love a Tyrone Tote Bag.

What is this, are you serious. How did this man win. Well let the money getting begin.

Just hope he pays the sales tax on what he sells. The State could use the money.

The inference that it was paid with "county funds" comes from the fact that the sheriff's logo was used, not anything written here.

Kim's attempt to deflect only magnifies that the logo use is an issue.

But, on the subject of shopping. How many remodels, renovations, floods, disasters, liquidations, etc does Carter Jewelers go through in a year?

and this hinds county is yo sheriff . just out for money.

tyrone and kim....a pair made for each other!

So what? If folks want to spend their money for his stuff...who cares?

Bony finger aka Kimmmmm Waaaaade is a Tyrone man? Figures since he's in bed with the former DA Faye....errrr...
Facts? Bony finger don't need no facts!

While we are piling on Hinds County, why has no one mentioned the armed robbery that occurred at the Renaissance Mall in Ridgeland. Someone was forced at gun point to an ATM.

Those two dollar bags are selling for $20? What a rip...WAIT! If you order before noon today, they'll double your order, just pay additional handling and shipping charges; and they'll include two ballpoint pens; a fifteen dollar value, free.

And if you put a dollar in the 'Sheruff Gas Fund', you'll get a free "Who's Pocket Is Kim Wade In?" lapel pin suitable for felt western hat or Sunday suit.

The main problem with this story, and some of the comments, is the confusion with two separate and distinct skits from "In Living Color":
the "Homeboy Shopping Network" and "Men on Film". "Men" did the Zorro snap. Jeesh.

well if "Its paid from leftover campaign funds" then where does the $$$ go once I order one?? or better yet who is getting the money for this...

Kim has his panties in a wad this morning? Who gives a crap about 'yo new sheriff' anyway. Hinds County is doomed.

Thanks to 9:31 for giving me the opportunity I've longed for for months. Carter Jewelers, with it's gooped-down-smush-haired spokesman, is undergoing yet another radical renovation (not a flood this time) that requires all merchandise be sold for half the lowest ticketed price.

The roof didn't fall in this time and there's no disaster affecting the Pemberton Mall in Vicksburg, but, sadly, they have to close their doors for renovations and everything must go. Jerry what's his face tells Edward St. Pe that this may be the biggest sale in the history of Jackson, bar none. Everything down to the bare walls must go. Kim Wade will be there with a Toys R Us microphone and seven inch square amp to moderate this biggest event ever. Corner High Street and State Street. Since 1784. Bring your truck and trailer. Harvey will have cops on hand for the buying public's safety.

Funny but all you get this year is a $50 Gift Certificate to the premier Jackson Steakhouse versus the diamond earrings valued at over $200.

Man, the economy really does suck.

In all fairness, the Facebook post in reference to the Inaugural event doesn't say *Invitation Only*.
