Madison Mudfight

The Queen and the Bagboy went at it last night in a debate at Madison Central High School. You can read my live notes of the debate on Twitter @Kingfish1935 . Here are some videos from the debate in chronological order. I'm going to post the complete video later today. I thought you might like these clips from the first half hour of the debate, as the complete video is nearly two hours long. It's entertaining. Pour a drink or espresso and enjoy.










This clip gets real good.

Does anyone know what Crosby is talking about? I guess not since it doesn't appear that he does either. His voting record with the Board of Supervisors isn't one that he's obviously proud of, so what experience does he have? There is a reason that folks want to move to Madison. It has nothing to do with any of the need for change that Crosby boasts. I'll be voting for Mary.

Before yesterday had found JBC's "Vote for me, secretly, I'm not MHB" campaign to be woefully amateurish but now, after last night, realize the campaign accurately reflects the candidate.

JBC-You could tell last night that he is getting desperate. On his facebook page this AM he puts the Mayor down for running a business and says he will be a full time Mayor. The Mayor does not run the store....Her husband does. The store would have been opened earlier had he not had a stroke and almost died. You are really getting desperate JBC when you start slinging that type of mud. You have to run for Supervisor again. We will see how that goes.

I must say I'm no real fan of Mayor Mary. While I greatly admire her vision for the development of Madison, I deplore many of the tactics she's used to get there.....and let's face it: were it not for the great neighborhoods, Madison (the City) would not be seen as anything that remarkable (unless you like train depot and urns architecture.) Out-of-towners would be more likely to find Canton to be more quaint than Madison.

All that being said, JBC offers no real alternative as a candidate. On a national level, we've all seen what "change for change's sake" can do to us, so if JBC wanted the mayorship, he should've offered a reason to change from the status quo....at least we KNOW (for certain) what MM offers. We have no real idea what JBC would do.....And I'm not sure he does either.

I'll be voting for Mayor Mary. And, I believe most everyone else will be too. I predict a 70-30 win for Mary.......

like most of these debates, the only people in the audience are the candidate's friends and family, and in the mayor's case some of her devoted employees. All the pomp and circumstance is so silly. Everybody already knows who they are going to vote for, why pretend like this is a debate of national importance?

I have to admit its entertaining to watch her prance back and forth across the stage like its a beauty pageant.

Crosby just comes across as a if he's still trying to convince himself that he's a better candidate than Mary. Really awkward campaign with nearly zero valid talking points. If Madison had a ton of problems, I guess he might have something to run against. It doesn't. It mostly just makes developers mad that they can't do whatever they want. Other than that, things are pretty good, and I'm not saying that is necessarily a negative.

John Bell was exposed last night for what he is - a decent guy with very little political skill. It became evident early in the debate that emotion was going to be more important than statistics, and Mary capitalized on that while JBC kept telling us over and over why we needed two more fire stations. JBC seems to be running his campaign on loosening the architectural standards to bring new business to Madison that otherwise won't come - not much of a platform when you're up against 31 years of successful incumbency, and I don't know many Madison residents who think we need to relax our standards for any new business. Sorry, Squench. It doesn't look like you'll be moving north anytime soon.

MHB has done a tremendous job for Madison and I hope she can stay in office for several more terms. Not sure what Kroger is paying these days, but my guess is Board of Supervisors might be willing to pay for fewer battles within the City of Madison. Don't ruin a good thing for the sake of money. Madison's "barriers" to entry are not so significant to keep businesses out; not so significant as to cause racial discrimination in housing (I've got whites, blacks, hispanics, and rednecks that live near me). From a residential perspective, the city needs to spend more money on certain roads and periodically audit the permits department. As a result of what MHB has done the Madison County School District has thrived. It could have been very different; just look at some of the neighboring school districts.

Hate it that JBC has spent his and other peoples money for this experience.

Belhaven, Eastover, NE Jackson, County Line, Ridgeland and now Madison. Its simply in the path of flight. Madison's heyday will last longer due to high building code standards, but it will inevitably age and people will continue wanting the newest and shiniest and coolest new place. Enjoy it while it lasts, it never does.

Wish the moderator, or Mary on rebuttal, had axed Crosby what types of businesses he's talking about when he claims all these companies have told him they'll flock in if he's elected but will stay away if she is. Nail salons? Payday loan companies? Car washes with an oil change bay? While he was criticizing her insistence that Wally World conform to Madison standards, she got him to admit he had fought tooth and nail against Wal Mart coming to town.

I fully expected him, halfway thru the debate, to throw up his hands and withdraw, put on a butcher's apron and apply for the assistant meat market manager at the Lake Harbour Kroger.

JBC is a horrible speaker. Whomever he has working with him should be fired! Um and uh is really all he can say. Did he really think he could just wing it and not prepare at all? And he seemed like he did not know what he was even talking about. I certainly would not want someone like that as mayor. And good grief he has that HB hillbilly diction draw. I really thought he would have been some competition. She wore him out with class. Love her passion for Madison! No strings attached!

I'm going to post the entire video in a couple of hours but do y'all want me to keep posting these clips by question or not?

I like the clips by question.. It makes it easier to go back and review, in my humble opinion.

3:22 you are right. JBC cannot speak! He was pathetic!

Why would anyone vote for change an unknown change at that ? I have lived here for eighteen years and what I have been most impressed with is city hall and public works, they treat you like a neighbor---the fire department employees are outstanding and if you ever have to call a cop you better go to the door after you hang up the phone because he will be standing there. The reason this city will maintain its integrity is because the Mayor wants it that way !! People want to live where they are safe and she gets that.

Agree with Blowfish. Clips per question.

Kingfish; you posting the whole thing will be equally as boring and non-eventful as you posting your weekly appearance on JNT. Get real.

Thank You Kingfish for asking us how the Madison Mayoral Debate video should be posted. I agree with the above people that posting by question allows us to reference individual questions. Being a Madison resident unable to attend the debate,this is a service to all interested. Thanks KF

Not true. The hot couples always swing over to the new developments.

The entire campaign, including the debate, has been civil. Wonder why Kingfish refers to it as a mudfight?

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.
