Why is it so easy for former legislators to get good state jobs?

Thank goodness for political patronage. That poor guy apparently can't get a job since he got whipped in his last election.

2:33 It's not what you know; but, who you know! Just saying -

2:33, Davis died in political battle and earned it all.

This is truly embarrassing,have you ever met this guy? I can't even imagine he and Delbert being able to carry on a conversation.

He was a good troop and caught the wrath of Uncle Miltie. Puts him on the right team.

Revenge of the Nerds

Doug Davis tried to resist the self-centered education bureaucracy and paid a price for it. Those of us who care foremost about actually educating the children in Mississippi’s school system (and not the educators it tends to protect and enrich) are pleased that his courage and sacrifice are being acknowledged by Delbert.

Amazing how these smaller government Republicans find away to stay on the government payroll.

Bullshit, Kingfish. Davis was beat fair and square. Feel Bryant has coddled him for the entire time he's been sitting on the sidelines, as has Paul Gallo. Now Delbert picks him up. Reminds one of Chollie Boy when Haley threw him a 110,000 dollar life jacket. Davis needs to be back working at Sonic in Hernando with his big ole bulbous head and ignorant ass.

OK KF. Patronage is ok when applied by the right wingers but not so much when used by left wingers. You are fair and balanced.

Delbert is gearing up for a run and putting a Desoto County person on his staff. Sure he got beat but he knows people. This puts Sluggo in Dilbert's corner.

A total embarassment for the SOS. Davis lacks even a professional appearance. With so many other qualified PR and politically knowledgeable individuals out there, why Delbert has chosen this strange guy is beyond comprehension. They do not make a good team. Cory Wilson can never be replaced. The lady that just left the position after only 2 years was a total joke.

How does he lack a professional appearance? Is it somehow unprofessional to be bald and wear glasses? Are his suits not pressed? Shoes not shined to a high gloss? I guess in your world Delbert should have hired Roger instead of Doug.

I don't care whether you like the guy, but picking on his looks takes credibility away from the rest of your post.

6:32 and 11:27 - you both are right on track. Furthermore, Delbert can't get anyone worthwhile to take the job. Delbert goes through staff faster than sheet through a goose. Davis will do fine here, because all he has to do is say 'yes sir' every time Delbert speaks - he won't have to do any heavy lifting.

So, Delbert picked him 'cause he can potentially help Delbert in Desoto County in the future. The same County voters who turned this boob out to pasture in the first place.

And Bill; It is indeed noteworthy to consider one's appearance in these political positions. Consider for a moment a fellow named James Carville. I don't suggest Leno and Schimmel will be mocking Davis, but plenty of folks are turned off by his appearance. If someone sticks a pin in his head at a Hilton dinner, wait staff will be scrubbing shit off the walls for weeks.

One might also want to consider his slight of hand in land deals back home as well as the several similarities with his law offending and morally misbehaving cousin.

I'm no cactus expert, but I recognize a prick when I see one.

I get it. You don't like Doug Davis for whatever reason, so why not make fun of him for being bald? Be careful to keep your voice down, though. You don't want the teacher to put you in time out.

I know Doug slightly and I think he'll do a good job. There may be a lot of reasons that I don't know about for you and others to object to this appointment, but whether or not he's a good looking guy shouldn't be one of them.

nothing but welfare. plain and simple, this clown will live off of the gubment the rest of his life. He need to go get a job.

Billy Boy; I ain't said shit about him being bald headed. Try to pay attention. I notice you don't respond at all to his land deals back home and his other similarities with cuz. Pick another non-relevant trait and seize on it.

Thanks,

Looks are everything in the public eye, and this guy makes you want to close your eyes for sure.

And yes, his cousin in Southaven is on trial right now, I believe.

What about those land deals? More information, as I'm not a good Google digger.
