WJNT this morning.



The Kingfish had Hinds County Supervisor Phil Fisher on this morning to discuss the Byram- Clinton Corridor Project. I dealt with Paul Gallo and Representative Jeff Smith at the bottom of the hour. It seems Mr. Smith said "I wouldn't trust Kingfish in a outhouse with a muzzle" or Muslim, or something like that.

FYI, Johnson has been against the parkway from the outset and since his first term. His recent comments in opposition aren't new. He was quiet about his opposition for many years during the time when he was tied up in court trying to subjugate Byram via annexation. Had he been successful in gobbling up Byram he would now be in complete favor of the project.

Great job Kingfish. This area of Hinds County needs this project to begin. If not, the county will continue to lose tax revenue as you mentioned. This project will benefit everybody who lives in Byram, Terry, Raymond and Clinton.

I think I've axed before. Is there a way to know in advance when you will host this radio program? I don't typically listen because Larry is as caustic as was Dave of JT fame, before he got fired.

I agree with Shadowfax....it would be great if you could post on your blog when you will host and the topic if there is one....

Kingfish will be the regular Wednesday morning host on WJNT until further notice... or until he gets tired of it! :)

These were not grants...These were earmarks. Not that anything is wrong with earmarks.

jeff smith said...

It is " would not trust you in an outhouse with a muzzle on"......is a north Mississippi comment for people saying items that are heretofore
thought of as unspeakable. I reserved same for you for your Comments toward Sarah Fowler in her "Packet Article" Say what you will about me, I could care less, but a single Mom with such a decent past should be above that, even for you sir.


I respect your opinions and your right to say them. I am an Army veteran and hopefully did that duty to allow people I disagree with to say as they please. I was taught a gentleman does not strike a lady with his fists or actionable words.

Mr. Chairman, while I don't agree that Ms. Fowler's real estate business had anything to do with the story, I can't agree with your notion that as a journalist she is somehow immune to scrutiny because of her gender. She wrote what many would see as an article that was slanted in your direction and critical of the Lieutenant Governor. In my opinion she should have disclosed the formal relationship between you and her publication. The comments on this blog that were related to the story, while perhaps colorful and reflective of the personality of its owner, were completely in line. If your client doesn't want to be in the public eye then she should stay out of the public eye. Bill Billingsley

Why don't you start the self-disclosure lovefest Bill and provide all the readers here with a list of your campaign contributions for the past 5 years?

That way we're all on the same page with someone advocating for disclosure and finding fault when it doesn't happen.

bill said...

Google it, 12:32. It's publicly available information. From memory, I'll try to list: Fred Thompson, Newt Gingrich, Haley Barbour, Charlie Ross, Phil Bryant, Roger Wicker, Thad Cochran, Chip Pickering, Allen Nunnelee, Tate Reeves, Billy Hewes, Stacey Pickering, Mike Chaney, Lynn Fitch, Cindy Hyde-Smith, Delbert Hosemann, Jeffrey Rupp, Lee Yancey, Jack Gordon, Lynn Posey, Ralph Doxey, Will Longwitz, Doug Jones, John Bell Crosby, Knox Ross, Josh Harkins, John Howland. My apologies to any I might have inadvertently left out. If you want to go back a little further when I was chairman of my trade association's national PAC you can include Tom Delay, Max Baucus, Russ Feingold, Charles Grassley and a few others.

That enough disclosure for you? BB

But if people have to ask Bill then you aren't practicing what you're preaching to Sarah Fowler.

Shadowfax said...

Laura Ingraham? Please spare me. Irritating voice, bumper sticker comments, incindiary firebombs lobbed for the sake of impact. Very little thoughtful commentary or thought-provoking analysis. Another comedienne wannabe and penis-envying Limbaugh worshipper.

KaptKangaroo said...

Got to love it, leave it to a politician so disconnected to not realize Bill's fine support and record is available for public viewing.

I'm telling you this is just the beginning of the chess game that is a Rublican controlled Mississippi. Dems in disarray, past power brokers unsure of their standing, and Tate standing firm (and his publicly available supporters) with a strategy.

Smear campaigns may not be obvious to the general electorate, but here, I bet a few liberal thinking commenters even see through this farce.

bill said...

4:37, I'm not a newspaper reporter. I'm a regular citizen who has an occasional comment on a blog or two. My political affiliation and past support of candidates isn't germane to the story. Ms. Fowler should have disclosed her paper's relationship with Rep. Smith. BB

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.

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.
