While waiting to enter the room for the charter school hearings at the Legislature, I happened to be standing next to Father Jerry Tobin, local advocate for the poor. He called Rep. Espy a sellout for supporting charter schools. I asked him again, he repeated it for me. Nice. Also badly needed a bath as he reeked.
Here is a video of Representative Chuck Espy defending himself against such charges. The hearing was supposed to start at 1:30 took place at 3:30. Mr. Espy sponsored HB# 888, which was the House "charter school bill.

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.

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.

Your last sentence literally made me laugh out loud!!!!
Tobin is only voicing what the rest of the white yellerdawg race whores say in private.
Wait until they see the redistricting plans. Oorah!!
Maybe he had never heard my grandmother state, "Cleanliness is next to godliness", or something to that effect. Or, maybe, just maybe he had been ministering to the sick and the poor and had it in and on his clothing. Just sayin'...

New Rule: People who work for proven Nazi collaborators don't get to call other people "sellouts."
Curt, that never gets talked about enough
Um, this smell was from not bathing or using old spice. Insert Occupy joke here.
Curt - is there a short recap you could provide for those of us who blissfully ignorant of the Reekin' Reverand? Denomination, anyone? Or is he a mail-order preacher a la the "Rev." Barry Lynn?
KF, again thanks for enlightening me.
I had never heard of this guy until your post.
Is this "Father" of "Saint Moses the Black Priory "
an official part of the Catholic Diocese of Jackson ?
According to their website, this group , ...
..."Saint Moses the Black Priory " champions
the UAW and Jeremiah Wright ???
Just curious about this social Justice UAW " Priory"
down in Raymond.
Ambulance chasers don't get to knock on Catholics. You're maybe half a notch above pederasts yourselves.
10:11
You are botherd by history huh?
What is with all the orange shirts? Is Syracuse playing JSU?
10:24, based on 10:11's comment, his/her problem with history stems from a complete ignorance of it.
10:11, If the best defense you can come up with to the most horrible crimes ever perpetuated against humanity is "ambulance chaser," then it may be best to just remain silent.
"white yellerdawg race whores"," Saint Moses of the Black Priory"
Does sound Neo Nazi , Curt...right out of Goebbels playbook. But, I don't think you meant the bloggers here. I expect you were referring to the Catholic Church's collaboration with the Nazis.
We shouldn't hold slavery or the excesses of the Civil Rights Era against whites who weren't born then but we should hold the past history of the Catholic Church against today's Catholics? Do I have that right?
And, to think, there's a Catholic and the Morman leading in delegates to the GOP .
Some people must put venom in their morning coffee .
"Reeked." Priceless. I am not acquainted with this Tobin fellow, but I wonder if he might retort that Jesus himself probably worked up a good pungent dander, b.o., etc. while walking about doing good in a hot Middle Eastern climate. The virtues never change, but times do. While caring for the poor will never go out of style, there WAS such a thing as soap and deodorant invented sometime within the last couple of millenia. And Rev. Tobin must surely realize that it's hard to influence people when smelling like Moonbeam McSwine.
Saw Espy on local news last night. He did a good job.
And, to think, there's a Catholic and the Morman leading in delegates to the GOP.
With the winner advancing to face off against the Muslim in our White House.
"O brave new world, that has such people in it!"
As far as I can tell, Crowley, the catholic church has acknowledged its complicity and asked forgiveness. You can pitch a bitch about it, but I assure you, the catholic church has done far more for the poor and the persecuted than just about any other institution on the planet.
Now don't you have the corner of Roach and Capitol to go hold down? Club goers to photograph? Move along, little man.

I keep scrolling up to look at the subject of the blog entry, trying to figure out how this went from charter school discussion to where it currently resides...
1:07, it got here because I noted the hypocrisy of Tobin's latest outlandish comment, "sellout," in light of the fact that his employer is a proven Nazi collaborator. Then the Papists got all pissy and defensive as they always do when someone calls them on their bullshit.
As it stands right now, they are at the "How dare you say that? We kinda said we might be kinda sorry for _____________ (insert atrocity)" point in the argument.
Thanks for that recap. So odd to me that this thread has turned into one that is thrashing about on religion, nazi, some people’s distaste for certain religions, and some guy who some folks say needs to take a bath.
Here’s my observations
-Personally, I’m interested in the charter school discussions because I find it interesting to hear what different sides are saying. I think it’s an important issue and should be discussed.
-Whether some guy needs to take a bath is kind of irrelevant to the charter school discussion. (no disrespect to KF intended. His statement was simply a human reaction to a situation he was in. If you smell something, you usually say, dang, what’s that.)
-Charter schools jump to Nazis?
-All people have the right to choose whichever religion they may choose and they have the right to not choose a religion so the whole religion-bashing thing is so strange. Personally, I chose Christianity a long time ago and I make no apologies because, as a Christian, it makes absolutely no sense to apologize for choosing Christ. Quite the opposite because I’m humbled at His glory.
-KK, I watched it again, and I still have no idea what’s up with all the orange shirts. Tried to read the words on them but who knows. Does kind of get your attention, doesn’t it.
I would like to know that the man meant by sellout. The obvious implication is that if you support charter schools, you have sold out someone or something. What or who does he think has been sold out? Anyone can make an assumption as to what he was referring to, but I wish KF would give him a call and simply ask, the other day, you were shouting that Espy was a sellout. Can you explain what/who has been sold out? What he said was a sound bite, a generalization. But if he says---so-n-so sold out the public school system---then the argument can be made---KF has looked at the success rate of the current system and its failing, so what is more important, ‘selling out’ the public school system or ‘selling out’ the children. If he says----so-n-so sold out the children, same argument applies—the goal is to educate the kids with a measurable success rate.
Its like screaming---'it' hurts the children! Well, WHAT hurts the children? If you think a quality education hurts the children, then we will disagree. If you think a house burning down around a family hurts them, then we agree. WHO/WHAT was sold out?
Anyone can make an assumption as to what he was referring to, but I wish KF would give him a call and simply ask, the other day, you were shouting that Espy was a sellout. Can you explain what/who has been sold out?
If it means that much to you to understand the nuance of "sellout" why don't you call him.
I asked him face to face. He said Espy sold out on charter schools.
Thanks, KF. Glad you asked him, figured you had. I find the arguments from the different sides interesting. Sounds like this guy really was closer to the rhetoric type arguement.
KF, the numbers you showed the other day were so sad to me. It would be nice if the objective was to educate and challenge a kid so that kid can grow and advance down whatever path he/she takes.
Also can't be blind to what some teachers may be dealing with in the classrooms. Things are different because what I remember as being normal (raise your hand, obey the teacher, yes mam/no sir) doesn't seem to be the norm now.
I don't know what the solution is to those sad statistics. But I'm happy that options are being discussed. Hope a solution is found.
I watched a couple of this guys videos.
I wondered why he wasn't down on the steps of the capitol today.
Then I realized, he would have be discriminated against due to lack of hygiene.
However, I personally would have let him speak because i always remember, "Can't we all just get along?"
