Rickey rants

The Mississippi Democrat Party issued the following press release:


Nunnelee, Harper and Palazzo Are Playing Games With Our Lives

JACKSON—Rickey L. Cole, Chairman of the Mississippi Democratic Party, issued the following statement today:

“It has been my privilege to be an active participant and observer of Mississippi politics going on four decades now. I have seen twenty-two different men represent our state in the United States House of Representatives. I have seen some of them rise to the pinnacle of power and influence and others shuffle off into ignominy. Never in living memory has our U.S. House delegation been more irresponsible, more foolhardy, or more spineless.

It is scandalous that ¾ of the entire delegation representing the poorest state in the Union in the U.S. House would blindly follow the radical Tea Party agenda to shut down the government of the United States, damage the full faith and credit of the nation, cause undue immediate financial hardship and distress to millions of Americans, and imperil the desperately needed recovery of our economy. Congressmen Nunnelee, Harper and Palazzo are derelict in their duty and stand in diametrical opposition to the best interests of the people of our state and nation.

In earlier times, I have seen Mississippi Congressmen from both of our traditional great political parties step forward and personally bridge the gap across the aisle, often at great risk to their own careers, when they knew it was in the best interests of our nation. How pitifully have Nunnelee, Harper and Palazzo betrayed that long-honored Mississippi tradition.

Clearly, the Republican Party as we knew it is no more. Mississippi Republicans used to know how to get things done and make things happen. They were movers and shakers, not mindless drones like Nunnelee, Harper and Palazzo. The Grand Old Party has been subsumed totally in our state by the Know-Nothings of the 21st century, the Tea Party. There are no Republicans in the U.S. House from Mississippi any more…the Tea Party reigns supreme. “

and if he had said 'mindless racist drone' he could have been speaking about Bennie G.

I can't fault what he is saying.

This is crazy and Cruz comes across as creepy and sleazy and nuts on TV.

I can't think of a worse face or manner for the GOP or Tea Party than Cruz.

And, it appears , for all the world, as if the Tea Party is just a bunch of sore losers and fanatics who are willing to run our country off into the ditch if they can't run the country their way.

I had to look up 'subsumed'. This man is CONsumed....by his own arrogance. Nobody ever heard of Ricky Cole until a few years ago when he started pretending to be Colonel Sanders with Bilbo's drawl and nobody will remember him five years from now.

Have you ever noticed that liberal men have feminine look to them?

According to Po' Ricky and the Democraps, Pubs should just serve their heads on a platter to King Obama. The "King" drew the line in the sand months ago, and acts like an imperialist. I could go on and on, but you get the point.

I think 8:19am is actually talking about the dimocrats. How many budgets has Harry Reid let pass the Senate in Four Years? ZERO! Don't whine about the GOP 8:19am, it's the demoncrats who won't discuss, deal or debate anything on their agenda.

Ricky doesn't get it....message goes"stop spending our tax dollars and reduce the gov't handouts". I'm proud of the stand taken by these men.

Meanwhile, Burt Case is reporting the government shut down has caused the Natchez Trace bathrooms to close.

Quite seriously, that letter reads much like something Benedict Arnold might have written.

Those fanatics back then that were so crazy as to take on the King of England. They didn't want to run the country their way. They wanted to run their personal lives their way, not at the decree of a distant ruler.

Real men, not whiny men ->

Vets from MS and Iowa went to WWII memorial, crowds cheered as they entered, bagpipes playing Amazing Grace, went through tape because gov tried to ‘close’ an open air memorial. US Park Police Officer: "I’m not going to enforce the 'no stopping or standing' sign for a group of 90 World War II veterans. I’m a veteran myself.”

stars and stripes reporter was there. His story is here http://www.stripes.com/news/wwii-veterans-storm-d-c-memorial-closed-by-government-shutdown-1.244447

Our troops will never fire on Americans. When the straw breaks the camel's back it will be all over for Barry.

If Bert's report of Natchez Trace bathrooms closing is accurate, this will be the downfall of Tom Head. He'll throw himself into the current off Ratliff Ferry's ramp.

That other liberal, Hayes Dent was saying just the other day that the Tea Party had no traction in Mississippi. Now, Rickey Cole says the Tea Party reigns supreme. They're the folks that the establishment of both parties loves to hate. We even got to see Trent Lott come out and talk about taking Cruz's legs out from under him. Agree or disagree, these Tea Party folks are taking a stand where our establishment GOP seems like they've forgotten how to do anything other than surrender.

Republicans would have legitimate concerns if Rickey Cole could raise money and organize voters as well as he complains.

Do you mean he is upset because all those hot rest area bathroom gloryholes are closed?

That is so wrong! With the rest areas closed (i.e. the workers/cops gone), the gloryhole activity will be hotter than ever!

Ole Ricky needs to go back where he remembers those BLOW FLIES he knows so much about. It wasn't MAIN STREET

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.

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.
