Shocking

So if you live in Vicksburg, who do you vote for? The crook (alleged), the ex-hooker (what else can you say she calls herself a working girl), or the Politician? Although it could be argued a politician is all of the above? You can't make this up. The Clarion-Ledger reported:

"Vicksburg mayoral candidate Linda Fondren admitted during a TV interview Friday she worked as a legal prostitute in a Nevada brothel more than 30 years ago.

The admission came weeks after Fondren, during an interview with The Clarion-Ledger, dismissed ties to Sagebrush Ranch, a legal brothel in rural Nevada, which she owned with her husband, Jim.

“These are rumors, and politics is really a business that people do whatever it takes to get things said about people instead of discussing the issues, what concerns people the most,” Fondren said March 29 in response to allegations of her involvement with the brothel.

Then days after denying her ties to the brothel, Fondren told WJTV-Channel 12 she and her husband “held top positions” at RAHA Corp., the brothel’s parent company, before selling their stock and leaving the company in the 1990s.

In Friday’s interview with WLBT-Channel 3 and WDBD-Channel 40, Fondren said she and her husband owned the brothel before selling it in 1992 and expanded on her background.

“I was a working girl in a legal brothel over 30 years ago,” Fondren said.

“It’s true my husband was my client. My husband and I have been married for 28 years.”


This calls out for this clip:

KF: There was a GREAT letter in last weeks Northside Sun explaining what happens when welfare tards, crooks and now whores make up the voting majority and elect people like themselves to "lead" (hahahahahahaha) in all of these small towns all over Mississippi. What happens? well now, we end up in the mess that we are in now.

It is my understanding from reading the articles that what she was doing was legal and that she is no longer involved in prostitution. If that is the case, other than to embarrass her, what relevance does this have on her ability to lead the city of Vicksburg? By the way, I am white, male, Christian (Southern Baptist), conservative and Republican.

The only thing missing now is a picture of her when she was a "working gal". Go get one KF!

A friend of mine from Vicksburg told me, a few days after the CL first broke the story, that Vicksburg's very own newspaper had mentioned NARY A WORD about this most interesting development in their town. I'm not sure who owns/publishes the Vicksburg Post, but maybe Madame Fondren does!??? Could it be that some of her Ho-HOUSE $$$ has found its way into a "hush fund"?

7:12, you are going to have to explain a bit more what you mean by "whores." Depending on what definition you use, some of our more esteemed "bedroom" communities could be in serious trouble, too.

This could get sadder if the national media runs with this

This story really reminds me of the woman that the scribes and Pharisees drug in front of Jesus, ready to stone her. Actually the comments on this board remind me of the passage. John 8: 3-7

7;49 - If nothing else, the fact that she lied to media and everyone else about her relationship with this brothel bothers me. She first denied any connection; then admitted she and husband were owners; now admits she was one of the prostitutes. Seems that she would have 'remembered' this connection when first asked about it - especially since that's where she met her husband when he was a client.

I have no criticisms of George Flaggs. He was a moderate House membver who worked with GOP when there was common ground. He never badmouthed Fordice or Barbour in the press. I have found him to be a reasonable, smart man. He is not a crook, and to the best of my knowledge, has never been a prostitute. :)

I don't always agree with George Flaggs but he is a good man who is a true public servant.

Thankfully for her, she's running in one of the most Christianized states in the union; therefore, she will be met with nothing but love, forgiveness, and open mindedness from all the forgiven sinners.

In other news a squadron of pigs landed at JIA today.

There have been articles on the net today that "Thrift Store" was the number one song in America today. If you want to be shocked, google the lyrics.

um, 9:12am, what I mean by "whore" is one that sells sex for money...duh! Also, I am not aware of any other whores (one that sells sex for money) running for mayor of some "bedroom" community that you refer to?? However, if her only sin is being a whore and a liar she should fit right in the current powers to be!!!

Save the sanctimony please. How could it not be relevant that a mayoral candidate is a former prostitute? You want to know something about the background of the guy you're hiring for bagboy. A little scrutiny for the top position of a city is certainly in order. Of course she's probably not the worst candidate.

This is an easy choice: George Flaggs.

No education not one qualification. She has lied and re lied
About everything. She has an agenda just not sure what it is but it will soon be exposed. I cringe at the thought of this
Woman being an elected official.

Pimp Dis said...

It's not that she was a whore that burdens her candidacy. It's that she has lied six times about her involvement with the whorehouse. Let her move to Jacktown and become Chokwe's liaison to Eminence Row.

Would all these people sanctimoniously defending the former prostitute defend and support David Duke and vote for him over Edwin
Edwards who admitted to accepting a bribe?

Anonymous said...

So men who buy women dinner and gifts in return for sex are OK, and a woman who accepts money for sex is a whore?

6:39 - ye who cringes at lies and prostitution.

Do you cringe for the 175 Pakistani children killed in drone strikes since 2004?

But the Bible doesn't talk about drones, so we're all cool.

5:51 is either a regular john, has never had a real hetero relationship, or both..

I also fear for the hapless toads crossing Southern roadways. But, the discussion is about people running for mayor of Vicksburg. If you (6:07) don't think one should decide one's vote based on background, ability and promise (it's known as discrimination), you should recommend just tossing slips of paper into the air and the one falling closest to a white line is the winner. And if you're suggesting one get extra points for claiming to have redirected a wayward life, you're a fool.

clintonrebel said...

I'm not saying she deserves our vote, but she also does not deserve the stoning she is getting from you people. I don't see the appeal of bashing this person any more, unless you live in Vicksburg, its not relevant to anything.

Anonymous said...

How is it not relevant, clintonrebel? Using your logic, we had no right to an opinion on Rahm Emmanuel taking the reigns in Chicago, ought not to have cared that Ray Nagin was a crook and have no business discussing California's Proposition Eight.

I have news for you, Mr. Isolationist; political happenings and attitudes all over this country eventually affect us all. As to 'the bashing', the whole truth is just now coming out about this woman and the lies she told to conceal has past. And that's worthy of discussion even in Clinton, which is 35 miles away.

I CANNOT believe we are having this discussion back and forth. GOOD GOD PEOPLE, the "lady" was a whore (excuse me ahem...prostitute), then lied about it. Have we sunk this low in our political expectations for those who propose to lead?

Anonymous said...

Although this bears checking, I think we can safely assume that Repr. George Flaggs was never a prostitute.

Yes......unfortunately, we have.

While I certainly believe in forgiveness, that does not mean that one should ignore the warning signals radiating from the violator's tainted past- be it morally or legally questionable.

I believe that this woman rented her vagina and whatever else to any stranger who could pay her what she required.

Even if she says she has changed her ways, there is no way to know if someone with a mindset such as that would be eager to use a political position to rent out that which she controlled in exchange for what she required in return.

I believe there are already many elected and appointed politicians who are prostituting their influence. Some get caught while others are yet to be caught.

Hate to say this but even if she did not use her political clout to benefit herself - her well is already poisoned in the eyes of many.

She had to know there would be an "up jumped the devil moment" when she put herself into the race.

Perhaps it is best for her and the voters if she would pursue another career. I wish her well....

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.
