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.

12:34, I'm hitting the invisible "Like" button on your comment.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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?

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

Have we sunk this low in our political expectations for those who propose to lead?

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....

I'd hit it.
