The Force can have a strong influence on the weak-minded.

i read the report....how did they get to mayfield?

I'm almost scared to see what you knuckleheads are going to come up with today.

Any chance you can get a copy of the arrest reports for Mayfield, Bert and Sager?

Really interested in the results of searches on THEIR computers--how far into McDaniel campaign staff territory will that go?

Kudos for delivering the goods, no matter how people feel about the facts.

What a bunch of ass clowns. Didn't I read that Mayfield's mother was in St. Catherine's until she died in March?

If so, he could have fairly easily taken a picture and anonymously sent it to Kelly or another nut. He would have never gotten caught. But he wanted to play spy thriller with Coach and a tea party nut from Hattiesburg?

I guess the nutters really are in the Tea Party.

These are not the Droids you were looking for.

With all your backdoor detective work, Kingfish, why have you totally avoided explaining 'tampering with evidence'?

Having spent considerable time visiting a 'bed ridden' patient in a nursing home, I can suggest that it is Mayfield (if his mother is a resident there) who was friendly with as many as twenty of the staff members ranging from aids to nurses to directors to cleaning staff. There is the connection to who allowed the sleuth entry and assisted him in his work. Most of those employees would jump off the building for a couple hundred bucks.

Is someone taking care of Clayton's turtle while he is in lockup?

There really isn't anything funny about this boatload of fail, but the triffids tag did add a little levity.

Bad news for the defendants: the Obi Wan Kenobi profile pic juxtaposed with these tea party bastards with jackass filling practically guarantees this will go viral. They fearlessly invade a skilled care facility to expose that they don't have a fucking clue.

Kingfish~

Do you have means to obtain and post an earlier photo of Mrs. Cochran before Thad abandoned her at 56 years old in a Jackson nursing home...and then moved on with his life, establishing his residence in an apartment basement in Washington, DC?

Teacup @12:51, what would you have had him do? I'm sure he languished over what to do. Should he have resigned from the Senate to care for a demented wife that would never improve, only progressively worsen, that would never have a clear state of mind? Not a rational decision for him to make.

12:22 re: most of the staff at St Catherines would jump off the building for a couple of hundred dollars. I don't know where you spent considerable time visiting a bed ridden patient, but I take exception to the remark about St Catherine's. I visited my mother there often, very very often for five and a half years. There may be someone there that would do something like let an unauthorized visitor in, but "most" would not. They are kind, caring and loyal. You pay dearly for staying at St Catherine's, but I can assure you, you get what you pay for there. This kind of incident can happen anywhere, even those with armed guards. Please don't besmirch the reputation of the many fine people, who I was blessed to know, when you have no proof.

@12:51 Not too hard to understand what you want KF to do even without the RINO label or constitutional reference to identify which krewe you run with. Why do you expect KF to carry the tea party's water? Is it because some of the other guys are unexpectedly tied up?

@12:18 I thought your local TP cell had issued a fatwa to avoid media contact until the infidels in DC and Madison have been smote by your holier than thou pogrom. If you seek to have KF recce this info as a op approved by your chain of command, then that is a different thing.

12:51 get over it. The only people that give a shit are you judgemental right wingnuts.

Thad Cochran's legislative record in the sanctioning of CIA torture of detainees at Guantanamo and other rendition sites is well known. Thad Cochran has a cold, cold heart.

"what would you have had him do? I'm sure he languished over what to do. Should he have resigned from the Senate to care for a demented wife that would never improve, only progressively worsen, that would never have a clear state of mind?"

TITCR.

1:28; notwithstanding your haughty assessment of the high-dollar assement owned by The Church, lower level employees and even some at mid level, are always open to maneuvers which cross the palm with cold cash.

Upon what thesis do you base the 'exception' you have taken?I'm sure the staff there is composed of dedicated souls of pure heart and unequaled job performance. But, really! Get off your high horse and admit shit happens when money is offered.

Perhaps you will stipulate: Either someone there was on the take or security there is one huge joke. Which way would you like it?

TITCR

"This Is The Credited Response.

Used on discussion boards (at least on xoxohth) when a respondent makes a statement that is either poignant, valid or otherwise hilarious....

Origin: Likely reference to standardized test questions in which there are multiple wrong answer choices, but only one credited response.
Those who use this term are generally of high intelligence, but completely overly occupied with the nuances of the admissions process. Most need to get a life and stop wasting their youth posting on anonymous admissions related boards.

More first person fully sourced reporting from Jackson Jambalaya.

But of course over at MSGOP radio Gallo and J.T. claim that Lange and Corder are all over the story.

No Gallo, as with your "show, they are all over ripping off without attribution the work product of other people and outlets.

After reading many of the posts of the "great patriots" who are supports of Chris Mc I decided to research Alzheimer's disease. After reading about the disease I must add those who have a loved one with this condition to my prayer list. Those who brought this forward as a means to belittle anyone husband ,wife ,son or daughter should be horse whipped.

5:12,

I'm going with or otherwise hilarious. That demented part was a dead giveaway. Oh, and the languishing part too.

No one was listening to cm and his shrieking calls for debate, down 20 points cm decided to play the tc wife card.
It's all on you cm.

5:49,

Oh so true. Horsewhipping would actually be too kind for Thad. Can you imagine what his wife's response would be if she knew she had been set aside less than a year after being admitted to a facility? And by set aside I mean Thad making it official with land records....you know, the kind that are created when one buys/sells property?

@6:36

Thanks for that breaking news. One must ask what Clayton and Kate know. Are they in on this?

Here's Thad's Thad's Waterloo!

One doesn't have to be a McDaniel "groupie" to want Cochran out. McDaniel, too, supports torture and has publicly expressed his approval of the CIA torture of KSM and his two sons in order to get his confession for being the "brains" behind 9/11.

As some have suggested, "What's a fellow to do?" Nature does call, right? And can we expect a man to enter the priesthood with vows of celibacy when he warehouses his wife of long standing?

While OTHER democrats were entertaining interns and visiting strumpets from back home, Thad simply sought solace from within the inner circle. Isn't it more honorable this way? After all, she took notes and did light typing. The name Fawn Hall comes suddenly to mind.

A Jackassery alert has been issued for certain JJ topics. Nominations may be collected next week for the JJ Jackassery Hall of Fame (if there is one.) The forecast is for continuing and possible increasing Jackassery.

Additional alerts may be issued if the Jackassery situation seems to be worsening. Possible additional indictments and search warrants would likely lead to a Peak Jackassery Warning.

If a Peak Jackassery Warning is issued, be on the lookout for blivets and D'Souzas of all flavors. Reviewing "The Fine Art of Baloney Detection" chapter in "The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark" will help sort things out.

Why are people not asking why Mrs. Rose is not in DC where her loving and devoted husband might at least visit once or twice a week? Where her husband could be around to talk to her doctors, maybe to make a surprise visit on her care facility to be sure that Rose is being taken care of the way he would want her to be. Do they have a child in this area that is doing these things? If so SHAME ON THAD, it is no more an adult child's place to take care of an ailing parent when the other one is capable than it is for a 2 year old to cook dinner for his parent. Or, does Thad have "staff" that calls and checks on Mrs. Rose?

It seems to me that when we vote, we should vote not only on policy idea and voting records but we should vote on character. Can a man that is not willing to do what is best for his own wife over himself be trusted to do what is best for his constituents over what would be best for himself?

I have taken care of a dementia patient when they were living in a very "good" facility. It still takes family, not everything can be bought. A familiar voice can calm a patient when they are in fear, they do have a way of knowing when a loved one is with them.

Lastly, if Thad had Mrs. Rose in DC in a facility, he could know that the chances are better that he can make it to her bedside when that call comes. And that call will come. The pneumonia will creep in or some other infection or her heart will just stop. If Thad is such a wonderful man why would he not move heavens and earth to be sure that he could spend time with Mrs. Rose now and when her time comes.

This situation tells me more about this man than I really wanted to know. Shame on you Thad.

Haley and Henry don't get it.

Nobody is falling in line and nobody will be falling in line.

You've fucked over the party.

@8:06

Thad's cold, cold heart is reflected in his "humping-for-the-CIA" on covering for their black ops and torture programs.
If it were not for Clayton, we would never have had proof of what only his insiders knew and are now trying to keep from the public. Thad's ship has finally hit the sand!

8:06. I had some polling company call me yesterday. They asked if I was going to vote in the primary or general election. I told them yes. They wondered which. I told them I answered the poorly worded question. Then they asked if I had decided who I would vote for. I told him no.

Then I asked if I was going to vote for Gonad. I told them anybody but him. It's time for him to come home and take care of ms Thad.

58-42 Thad, you CM backers better quit worrying about Rose and hope more does not come out on Trial Lawyer McDaniel. Hell he won't win Jones County.

McDaniel won't be indicted before he loses the primary. Can't be giving the whinging wingers something else to complain about.

YOU HEARD IT FIRST ON JJ- MUST CREDIT JJ WHEN USED ON A COMMERCIAL TALK RADIO FORMAT.

8:06
Of course, if Rose were in DC, you would find some reason to criticize Cochran for that too.
I am really tired of the know-it-alls presuming to dictate to the Cochran family what choices the family should make regarding Mrs. Cochran. Since neither you nor I have any information about what went into the decisions that the Cochran family made, the prudent thing is to butt out of what is a family matter. Neither you nor I know what involvement the adult Cochran children had, nor any information about Mrs. Cochran's physicians' recommendations, etc. Neither you nor I are in a position to pass on the morality of those decisions since we don't know the relevant information. And rumors aren't a sufficient basis for such criticisms either. Unless you have some actual proof other than speculation, you are just an old gossip. If you consider yourself a Christian, then perhaps you need to act like it.

All of the posturing and holier than thou smugness just needs to stop. It is unbecoming.

If McDaniel loses the primary to Cochran, you can be assured that the democrats will sort out all the facts before November. Sooner or later Thad and the "other woman" will have to face voters and reporters. Thad doesn't think well on his feet.

This Donnybrook will be bigger than Newt Gingrich asking his cancer-stricken wife for a divorce as she lay on her deathbed.

Finally, Pugnacious makes a cogent point.

If McDaniel loses the primary to Cochran, you can be assured that the democrats will sort out all the facts before November. Sooner or later Thad and the "other woman" will have to face voters and reporters.

But, but, but Kay is just his aide.

Though I'd like to know how many other members of Congress pose in formal evening attire with their aides for Washington Life magazine.

Maybe Gallo or J.T. or Lange or Corder can give us an explanation.

Here's a news flash for those who imagine the " Thad abandoned Rose" spin will work.

Look, you ignorant asses, Alzheimer's doesn't happen the day before nursing home care is needed.

And, new research is showing that's it's the result of years of symptomless minor strokes in the brain.

You jerks have never been in an Alzheimer's unit apparently. Nor apparently, have you ANY experience with how Alzheimer's progresses.

Rose didn't just forget where she parked the car one day and ended up at St. Catherine's the next. St Catherine's wouldn't have accepted her!

This is a horrible disease and it is a great tragedy that Rose had such an early onset.

Thanks, Anderson. Is there anyone, besides Ben at NMisscommentor, who is old enough to remember the saga of Earl Long and Blaze Starr ?

Blaze later recounted she and Earl meeting with Jackie and Jack Kennedy down in the French Quarter. While Earl and Jackie toured the Cabildo, Jack and Blaze did the "wild thang" in her bedroom closet.

"This is a horrible disease and it is a great tragedy that Thad had such an early onset of new womanitis."

FIFY.

McDaniel is still down by 20

Frank Corder is a know rip off artist when it comes to breaking news. He has ripped of stories the HP as broken and not attributed any credit to HP.

This is your notion of wit, 8:51 am?

Hear ,hear 11:48pm!!!!

And, Pugnacious still hasn't had a coherent thought.

When people are obsessed with the sex life and family business of others, it is because either their own personal and family problems are far worse or they are isolated and have no family or friends.

Too many people have had experience with a friend or family member's Alzheimer's to see this as scandalous.

Where is the "McDaniel is down by 20" information coming from? Besides the Tea Party poll that needs unskewed, I can't find any polling information.

I suspect most of those international Thad/aide jet set visits to Bondsteel and the other countries, with the exception of that to the California wine country, are involved with the CIA rendition program. Many of those sites are involved in the CIA's torture and rendition

@ 05/24/14 @ 12:45 PM

Thanks for your concern!

Times are rough. I miss the male human some. The female human cries and has resorted to eating my kibble. I'm losing weight. All of this confuses me.

I just wish I could be set free to live my life amongst my own and never ever see or interact with any of you "humans" ever again. I'm not too high on the food chain, but I would never treat a fellow turtle the way you regularly treat each other.

I can't imagine that Michael Guest is too happy over McDaniel's campaign putting words in his mouth with the 'what we've been saying all along' crap. He was pretty quick to issue a clarification that NO ONE has been 'cleared'.

McDaniel is using a reporter's paraphrase (inaccurate, as it turns out) as a direct quote, which is irresponsible at best--at worst, just plain LYING.

I received FOUR 'push poll' calls yesterday--three mechanized, one live body--from the McDaniel campaign. As soon as I answered the 'demographic' question of whether I voted 'straight Democratic, mostly Democratic, mostly Republican, straight Republican' with 'mostly Democratic'...they hung up on me. If that's the kind of data McDaniel bases his 'poll results' on, he is badly misinformed.

And all this whining about 'I'm the victim here'? Sweetcheeks, you wanted to play with the big boys--you're gonna get hurt. You threw the first punch with the allegations of 'Thad's having an affair' which probably plays real well with the backwoods imagination that says any contact with a woman other than his wife means he's having an affair--but that shit don't play with the rest of us.

Madison county GOP should remove Mayfield form it's committee!

If I were asked, I would approve torture to save American lives.

I tell you with the likes of Mayfield and John Taylor on the Madison GOP it makes it hard to be a proud republican but if McDaniels is my alternative I guess I have no choice

If Mayfield stays on the MCEC, the state GOP should not recognize the organization

McDaniel publicly claims a 20 point lead in the polls. If he loses by 20 or 30, what will the next excuse be when his integrity is challenged? Because these push polls are a sham! And he wants to use the word slander. Funny

Thad lives in the basement. ROFLMAO

"Thanks, Anderson."

I've never quite understood Pug's crush on me ... my only comment in this thread was the 1st one, the Star Wars quote.

If the 'Thad Campers' want this to stop being all about the Alzheimers thing then the 'Thad Campers' need to stop making it all about the Alzheimers thing.

How simple and straightforward is THAT?

Where is Melanie ?
Dodging a supoena ?

The situation with Ms Rose is very sad and I can't understand why Thad even considered running for another term. Good, Lord-he's 76 years old with 41 of those years spent primarily in DC and the last 14 with a wife needing full time care. One would think he would want to spend his last remaining years close to his invalid wife, his children and (if he has any) grandchildren.

It's time for Thad to go home. Now whether he chooses 'home' to be a nice St. Catherine's apartment so he can be close to his wife of 50 years....or would 'home' be DC/Oxford with Kay? Once he is no longer our Senator, I don't care. But it sure will be interesting to see where and who he chooses.

Having had a family member with early onset dementia (dementia is a broad term- Alzheimer's is only one cause of dementia-all devastating), I witnessed true devotion of a spouse ....and IMHO Thad's actions don't even come remotely close to being a devoted husband.

Thad won't debate McDaniels which leads me to believe (1) Thad/his staff are thumbing their noses at us--his constituents-- they believe he is a shoo-in so why waste Thad's time, (2) his staffers don't want the people of Mississippi to witness that Thad is no longer physically or mentally capable of serving as Senator.

If Thad wins the GOP primary, his staffers aren't worried about the general election. Again, they probably think 'shoo-in'.

If Thad wins the general election, does anyone actually believe that he will complete his six year term? Probably serve two years max. Then the guv will get to appoint a successor.....and that gets to be another headline story in and of itself.

I do not believe McDaniel had anything to do with the sordid Rose Cochran picture taking. For those who say "well, it shows that he can't control his people here so how can he control his staff in DC", Remember, in 2009 Cochran's aide of 29 years, Ann Copeland, was found guilty of certain illegal dealings with lobbyist, Jack Abramoff. Hmmm, how much control did/does Cochran have over...his people???

Before I begin....just how anonymous are these posts..?

7:13
Look at the interview tape with Paul Gallo on morning Joe.
McDaniel is a sleaze!!

Did you say anything new 7:31 PM? Anything at all?

If nothing else, at least we know tea partiers are good at typing long things, as if any of their rants are effective. Quit waiting you keystrokes

@ 12:42 p.m. What the hell is MCEC? I know MESC, , JSEC, MSES, MEC, MDSC, MDCC. Don't enter a large room of folks and speak in acronyms, dumb ass. It proves you are wearing high water britches and white socks.

I'm certain that should have been a MCREC, for Madison County Republican Executive Committee. And no, They don't have to be removed unless convicted or enter a guilty plea. One county kept an elected official on the REC with many indictments before a grand jury.

If I were asked, I would approve torture to save American lives.~11:04

Yes, it's all in the framing of the question...lawyers use loaded questions to their advantage.

Sir, have you stopped beating your wife?

Just how much time has DcDaniels spent with his family? He is in Jackson for months and on the road in the campaign. Just how much time has he spent and home?

He has been traveling all around the State in the company of a woman, not his wife!

Good God 2:18. Grow up.

Goose and Gander 6:31, y'all can't have it both ways! 2

I might understand if Thad took his "assistant" to missile talks in Poland. Serious stuff. But how undignified on the part of both of them to get dressed up in tux and gown and be photographed together at a SOCIAL EVENT. And who would go off to Washington and claim to live in the basement of a house belonging to a single, attractive member of the opposite sex? Wow. Please don't insult my intelligence any further.

10:04. YAWN. Give it up.

I suppose Thad was obligated to go on a cruise with the lady. Gotta support local-Made stuff. After all, everybody knows cruise ships were built at the Ingall's Shipyard, right? Well, he thought they were. Someone said they were. He was in the basement when the invitation came and he had to pack, and stuff, and didn't have time to check that out with an aide. Captain's Table, Six Thirty prompt.

the emperor's new clothes....

12:07
This was 2011, not relevant today!
Can you tell us if the Big Man and the disapearing campaign mgr. are getting it on?

Eminent domain, HB wanted it, McDaniel fought him and so did the people. Constitutional amendment in 2011, 70+% said no to HB. Gov can’t take my land.

Amnesty. Cochran is a yes vote. Filings with Justice Dept confirm HB’s firm represents Mexican Embassy. Then COO of the firm said he and HB “will lead” the firm’s team, including “immigration/human capital” Glad we don’t have an unemployment problem.

ICE released more than 36,007 criminal immigrants convicted of nearly 88,000 crimes.

Did you know that there were actually 3 people involved in this election that have law degrees—Commercials scream about McDaniel. HB and Cochran both graduated with law degrees.

Obamacare. Specialists removed from approved lists, higher premiums, higher deductibles, and the security of the website-well, what’s a little identity theft among friends. And after all, who is better suited to run your personal healthcare---you or your government? Cochran voted to fully fund this.

Current deficit is $17,499,889,429,120.68. ($17 Trillion). Each person’s share of this debt is $54,978.73. Cochran voted at least 20 times to raise the national debt.

Katrina aid. Take a look at the actual interview. Here’s the answer in full when asked about voting for disaster bills: “That’s a great question. I would have to see the details of it. I really would. Because, if it’s filled with pork—let’s just say for example that the storm relief that’s supposed to be destined for the Mississippi gulf coast is, let’s just say for example it ends up in Chicago. I would have a serious problem with that. And I think anyone who had sensibilities would have a problem with that. Let’s take care of the people who have been affected by the storm. If you look at those bills closely, there are special projects in them for all across the country.” So his answer was—he’d like to READ the bill. Dang. What a new concept as opposed to Pelosi’s pass and read later approach.

And speaking of Pork, in 2010, Cochran was the single biggest abuser, with nearly half a billion dollars in earmarks. Alaska’s Bridge to Nowhere, $300 billion highway bill that included nearly 6,500 earmarks, voting against the moratorium on earmarking, ‘farm’ bills. In 2010, Cochran joined nearly every single democrat to vote against an effort to rescind $120 billion in Federal spending by consolidating duplicative government programs, cutting wasteful Washington spending, and returning billions of dollars of unspent money.

More government, wrong decisions, more taxes, more spending.

No thanks.

Someone else noticed Obi Wan Kenobi.

"Daniel Strauss – May 30, 2014, 11:51 AM EDT

Further details of the alleged conspiracy surrounding a nursing home "break-in" which involved a group of conservative tea partiers in Mississippi have been revealed, including a Facebook correspondence with "Obi Wan Kenobi" and why Kelly chose to take the photograph on Easter Sunday. "
