Senator Thad Cochran and long-time assistant Kay Webber got married over the weekend. Senator Thad Cochran's staff told JJ that the pair were married on the Gulf Coast. The Senator's previous wife, Rose Cochran, died in December.

Good for them, they both look very happy.
"Long-time assistant". That is funny.
That isn't a wedding photo @11:10 AM.
And I thought that what Clayton Kelly did to Rose Cochran was disgraceful, but now Thad has equalled or trumped that. He lied about this affair during last year's election; I wonder what else he lied about.
One more thing he lied about.
I realize you forfeit a lot of privacy as a senator, but this situation was fairly unique. My spouse was totally disabled and paralyzed for years. I can assure you, you don't know what choices you would make until you've lived that situation.
Hope they are happy for whatever years they have remaining.
Well said, 11:43am.
well said 11:43.....I've been where you were....Her last words to you me were "Remember me, Love my memory, go be happy and have fun."
The self righteous posters are just sore loser McDaniel nuts and hypocrite. I am happy for you Thad.
Bless Thad Cochran for his service to our state. Hope Thad and Kay Cochran enjoy the rest of their lives together.
If he wants to cheat on his wife, that's his business. Just don't lie to the voters about it. So, I guess it's true that he had the taxpayers pay for his girlfriend's travel expenses. Has Thad released a statement saying when he will repay that amount?
For better or worse, 1143, for better or worse.
/includes forced celibacy and loyalty to the woman you promised to cherish
@1240...a man the will cheat on his wife because she's incapitated is a man lacking character.
Oh, I see your point. Thad IS a republican. Well, at least she's always been a woman
All the Thad cultists who claimed that he was actually living in Kay's basement had been proven fools.
The story Kingfish worked so hard to suppress.
Those who show their true colors in posting their hate should read John 8:7.
Give the man a break! At least he waited until the grass grew over his wife's grave.
@2:05 I think Exodus 20:14 applies more to this situation.
Did you read the passage 2:05 PM before hitting the publish button?
@11:43... Great comment
@12:31...That's almost word for word what my late wife said to me. I'll always love her and cherish her memory, and I'll NEVER forget her, but that won't stop me from ever loving another.
How, pray tell, does the fact they got married in any way prove they were having an affair previously? Shame on those making negative comments that have never been in the same situation.
Another phony who thinks we should all eat cake. Too bad there is no recall possible. Thad betrays his base by voting for the new AG and now this. He is really sticking it to us. At least Chip had the dignity to resign so he could be with his honey. Bring it on bologna eaters…the facts speak for themselves.

Well said 11:43.
Best wishes to Senator Cochran and his new bride.
Hey 2:05 please read the 10 Commandments. "Thou shall not commit adultery." "Thou shall not covet."
Don't start casting stones, kool aid drinker. Just keep your mouth shut and move on. Thad's actions are hypocritical and you know it.
Do not criticize your neighbor (or in this case, your Senator) until you have walked a mile in his shoes. While Thad Cochran was working for Mississippi, dealing with meetings, speeches, travel, etc., he was also seeing that his wife, an alzheimer's patient, was getting the very best care possible. He did this for years, as long as she lived. Now that she is no longer among the living and Thad is in his seventies, I believe he deserves to be happy for the remainder of his life. Congratulations, Thad and Kay! I wish you both much happiness!
11:43 has self-congratulated themselves for their comment 2-3 times already.
Well said 11:43. At least Thad stuck out a marriage to a difficult marriage by any standard when others would have bailed. He did what he could for Rose. I really hate the holier than thou crap😝
I voted for Thad. Gave him the benefit of the doubt when the controversy erupted. Disappointed in him, but not surprised. Glad he is on his twilight tour - we need new leadership.
@3:18 YAWN Ssnnnoorrrreeee ZZZZZZzzzzzz
Well said 11:43.
No, very well said 11:43.
Extremely well said 11:43.
Couldn't have said it better 11:43.
You've nailed it 11:43.
You are the best 11:43.
You've got everybody, I mean everybody, fooled 11:43!
"My spouse was totally disabled and paralyzed for years. I can assure you, you don't know what choices you would make until you've lived that situation."
Amen, 11:43. Thad, wish you the best.
So many experts on so many things, including whatever Cochran and his wife discussed while she was still herself. Just keep typing, I've never seen a TP admit defeat yet.
Not sure which lie is bigger. Thad's fling with Kay or the Republican whopper that Haley Barbour actually knows a lick about economic development.
I was wondering what the Shiite Republicans had to say about this.
Next topic. Josh Duggar?
Wouldn't you tea party people be happier in the democrat party? All you want to do is beat republicans anyway. Yall can talk about all your crack pot ideas together. One big happy family. I've never met a democrat or tea party person that wasn't a nut case.
Yall can talk about all your crack pot ideas together.
What crack pot ideas are you referring to?
@529. Jackson free press is a click away bud. Atleast kingfish isn't scared to post everyone's opinion like JFP. They are weak people anyway.
Kinda wish I could see the new couple doing a little bump and grind on the dance floor........wait, on second thought.
"When the moment is right, will they be ready?" Cialis.
At least Thad won't have to slink around at Fenians any longer worrying about who might be taking his picture with their cellphone while he's in the company of another woman. Ooops, my bad, that wasn't Thad. That was another well known Mississippi Republican.
Oscar Wilde - A man who marries his mistress leaves a vacancy in that position.
Congratulations to Senator Cochran and his wife. Best wishes for a very happy future together!
Actually he didn't do jack for his wife while she was at the convent. He warehoused her, probably at taxpayer expense. Maybe KF will study the congressional insurance policy.
I honestly don't care who he married, or what their relationship was prior to that marriage. What I care about is whether he supported NAFTA, whether he supported GATT, and whether or not he's a pro-immigrant whore. I could not care less who or what he marries. A Rhesus Monkey, a large and especially colorful Lichen colony, or a Tarantula named 'Fluffy': all are FINE WITH ME, as long as he has acted to protect my interests.
um, i wonder if he will get to move from her basement to her bedroom now?
Blow me down! Kingfish isn't here ranting because this is a topic on Jambalaya?? I mean as often as KF was here defending Cochran a year ago, and trashing the other side(McDaniel, the people accused of going after Rose in St. Catherine's Nursing Home, etc.), I'm surprised.
Yet a man's livelihood was taken from him last year and his reputation destroyed.... I still feel as though they drove that very man to depression and then he took his own life due to all the irresponsible sharks who drove him off... They are to blame for that man's family not having him today!
*************
On another note, I don't know any politician with a wife in the nursing home who would divorce her and marry someone else. Thad knew if he had done that, he would be mud in Mississippi for word would have spread of what an arse Had was to his sickly bedridden ex-wife. What makes any of you think he did what he did because he is some fine gentleman?
To those who think Thad was being a loving, faithful husband to Rose, have another drink of kool-aid, why dont you?
....After all Kay Webber's house was proven NOT to even have a basement! His lies piled up on him! You folks were hoodwinked and you are part of the blame for this country going down hill.
Yes 9:09, where is our moat? Forget that they will kick our ass from outside the border in a few years with a good internet connection. Them immigrints are the problem!

Obamacare, Common Core
Blow you? How eloquent.
Show me where I defended Cochran and trashed McDaniel?
Unless you mean the nursing home. The peeps earned some serious scorn on that one.
10:04-what an amazing story! I wish anonymous people who post on this website would stop judging. Never have I read such hateful, uninformed, judgmental, and just mean comments. The facts-we are all on this journey through life together. None of us, I repeat NONE of us, are perfect. We must stop being so hateful and intolerant of others. This intolerance is caused by fear/ignorance (lack of knowing) and dislike of what's inside ourselves. Regardless of the issue I read on this site-plenty of people are going to start speculating on something they know nothing about.
I don't care what party the senator is from, until you've walked his journey in life, please don't judge the man.
Cochran for president!
9:47
Bitter loser.
I hope your spouse is afflicted with a debilitating disease. I hope you have to care for her. I hope you burn sir....burn in the misery you spew.
Congratulations to Mr and Mrs Cochran.
And really, at least he had the decency to mary her.
Mr Cochran isn't like Abraham Lincoln, whose male bodyguard slept beside him in bed when mary Todd wasn't there.. I'm sure that little FACT isn't in common core. Politicians have been having these types of relationships forever. Why does our current climate make us want to think that political leaders need to be without sin?
What, pray tell, makes any of you "busy bodies" believe that what Thad Cochran does in his personal life is any of your business? He was elected by the majority of voters and sent to Washington to do a job. As long as he does the job he is sent to do, who he sees, who he marries and any other aspect of his personal life is his business and his business, alone. So, everyone, go back to what you were doing before Thad's marriage became news. I'll just bet everyone of you who posted have enough going on in your personal life to keep you busy.
I wish anonymous people who post on this website would stop judging.
But, but, but ...
Never have I read such hateful, uninformed, judgmental, and just mean comments.
Wait, what about not being judgmental?
We must stop being so hateful and intolerant of others.
Hang on, I thought we shouldn't be ....
This intolerance is caused by fear/ignorance (lack of knowing) and dislike of what's inside ourselves.
I really wish anonymous people who post on this website would get over themselves.
It IS our personal business. He MADE it our personal business when he lied to his constituency. He made it my business when he arranged to have her 'salary' paid at taxpayer expense. He MADE it my business when tax dollars paid for her to travel the globe with him for thirty years, paying for two hotel rooms and sleeping in one.
I wonder if she took a page from Mayberry and refused to let him have a hotplate in his room (ala Barney and Miz Mendlebright).
We should not be surprised Sen. Thad Cochran married his long time mistress. Most people thought,based on past published photographs, she was already his wife. Now that they have come out of the "basement" and made it official, will she still receive her $165,000 salary? Will Thad still pay rent? Will she travel now as a wife or staff member at taxpayer's expense? While I do wish them both well the lies told about this long relationship they have had is just par for the political course. I guess Haley Barbour was best man and insisted that the marriage take place at the home of a Ms.Power rate payer to show this group's support for Kemper Power Plant, because it is the future.
How long did he pay for these ammenities on my tax dollar? Pisses me off. 'Til death do us part apparently means .... til death do us remarry. Yep , he lied to all of us and should be ashamed! He just waited for the election and rose's death, in that order. Six months! Please ! Now take that paid wxxxx off our payroll! Where is our ethics commission in this?
I wouldnt give a crap about his personal life if I didn't pay for his fun bunny all these yrs on my dime....but basically I paid bad coch to have a personal playboy bunny with my hard earned tax dollars. In fact the taxes I paid this year paid her salary alone. This is my business!
I wonder if he purchased a ring from Carter Jewelers when it was half off the half off sale?
So is bad coch going to gracefully resign and boss hawg going to be appointed? Hhmm may be reason hawg started his new adventure with economic development to get him some future campaign recruits? Sly dawg hawgg, we aint that stupid duh.
When will Mel and Chris announce their wedding plans?
WOW! There are a lot of verbal " stones" being cast by those who must imagine themselves to be " without sin" and who are " puffed up" in their self-righteousness.
None of you would have voted for Dwight Eisenhower apparently. You probably think he was unfit to even be a General! And, oh, how superior y'all must all feel compared to Thomas Jefferson or Benjamin Franklin!
Here's a news flash: You are not perfect. Expecting others to be perfect is the source of your constant disappointment and discontent. It is also why so many people don't like you and don't enjoy being around you. There are no humans without flaws.
And, frankly, if you truly love your spouse, I don't understand why you would want them to go without companionship and not be loved and cared for should you ever be incapacitated. That's not love, that's expecting them to show others you were irreplaceable and that's selfish! Love is unselfish! You don't want love, you want idolatry!
Well, like I have always said, overwhelming majority of elected officials in Mississippi, either Republicans or Democrats, are in the final analysis, mostly just dressed-up trailer-trash.
@8:28 AM, please curb your pet or keep it on a leash.
Read these two posts and tell me where I was not critical of both sides.
Post #1
Post #2
8:28- Spoken as a true a$$ with his fly ready to open in a moments notice. For better or worse is what they promised. She kept her end of the deal. Only a true man would would have the guts keep his part. Don't believe for a minute his new wife and him had a plutonic relationship prior to his wife's death. Morally, he's no better than Precious Martin.
Haha haha @ Kingfish. Why are you so bothered, KF?
This is the most hilarious thing I've read in a few months. So he denies having an affair with the lady, but then he marries her. Gotta love Mississippi politics. They look very happy together and I wish them the best of luck in their union, but this is funny as heck. He pulled a fast one of everyone and got exactly what he wanted.
Don't believe for a minute his new wife and him had a plutonic relationship prior to his wife's death. Morally, he's no better than Precious Martin.
Yup. Undeniable.
12:37: Bothered? Nope. Amused. Every time I challenge you to show something specific, you don't do it.
"Plutonic"??! Please, PLEASE 12:25 describe/define for me a "plutonic" (sic) relationship. This has got to be good..
plutonic relationship
Must one go to Pluto to have such a relationship?
The judgmental decision that 'there obviously was an affair' vs the 'longtime good friend and associate' concept is the same type thinking that typifies the idiots that cannot accept losing. To claim that there is no basement in the Weber house is clearly evidence of believing anything that one has been told and not caring about the facts. Why not believe that there was a plutonic relationship - other than you don't want to believe it because you didn't like him as a candidate?
But the biggest b/s coming from the losers is claiming that Mark Mayfield's suicide was the fault of Cochran. Nobody but Mayfield, his friends and his associates in the McDaniel camp decided to break into a nursing home and invade a private citizen's privacy. Mark was a great guy - a good friend - but his actions in this case were done on his own volition, not determined by anyone on the Cochran side of last year's campaign. Was a terrible tradegy, but wasn't the fault of Cochran.
Frankly, I'm happy for Senator Cochran and Kay Weber and hope they can spend their remaining years together happily.
The spelling Nazis have arrived.
To: 3:44 Nein, mein Herr.....plutonic too good to resist.
3:24
Wish you could spend it with them.
So it looks like Thad really is the scum ball he did not want to tell us about before the election.
Gotta love elitist the rino class.
"A lawyer defending a man accused of crimes in taking photos of Sen. Thad Cochran's late wife says the legislator's Saturday marriage to his executive assistant will help his defense."
http://www.clarionledger.com/story/news/politics/2015/05/26/sen-cochran-marriage/27974257/
Good luck with that.
Brilliant move Thad. Marry your LANDLORD and you get to move from the BASEMENT to the MASTER BEDROOM and you do NOT have to pay RENT.
It is no wonder that Mississippi is LAST IN EVERYTHING good, including MORALS.
Oh now now, he's just an infidel and proud of it. It's political speech, you see. Political speech that belongs in a Viagra commercial.
This makes me mad because of my tax dollars being spent to fund his gf's travels for years, not to mention the "rent" he paid. I can't imagine how hard it was with a wife with Alzheimers, but apparently based on public records of expenses she's been traveling with him since way before his wife's illness. And that makes me sad. Taxpayer funded $165,000 jobs for an "assistant" who becomes the wife isn't right. If she was just his "friend" after his wife had been sick for a year or more, that would be one thing. I can't judge what someone with a spouse in that condition might do. That isn't the situation here. Well, at least he will have someone to care for him, if the creek don't rise. Anyone know how the kids feel about it?
There you go 8:59 PM. It is well known in Mississippi Republican circles that our Senior Senator was not exactly discreet nor faithful before his excuse availed itself. As long as Haley gets his way it is Fuck Mississippi.
The same people who are defending Cochran criticized every other politician who had affairs. That being said, Cochran is old, very old. Having an affair at that age is sort of gross.
I know Thad, Kay, Chris, and Melanie. Thad's wife had Alzheimer's in a top-notch treatment facility and his children knew everything. Chris' wife was raising his children 75 minutes from Jackson. That's to say nothing of the others closer to Jones Co...
Many of you harpies view Thad as just an old turtle who needs help getting out of the middle of the highway. Such an innocent vision, calling for consideration and passive indulgence. Who the hell wants to 'walk a mile' in a turtle's shoes?
The man has been a creep for thirty years, cavorting with his mistress. That means he was up to no good in his late 40s and early 50s. You know, back when he could get it up. And YOU were paying for it. And his wife was NOT then in St. Catherine's.
But, the parable about the turtle is, after all, simply plutonic.
Well, at least Thad waited until his wife no longer knew him and his children approved before he started cheating on his wife.
You idiots are missing the point-this is Oxford House's fault. Specifically, the Oxford House in (formerly) fashionable northeast Jackson. I anticipate senator WRONGwitz will soon start demanding things & spewing false facts trying to get re-elected. Come on Witz! Get on it.
Anyone criticizing Thad Cochran stop and think. If his wife was in a nursing home due to her Alzheimer's for the past 13 years, are you saying it would have been better for him to divorce and abandon her to her own limited devices? I don't think so. She received excellent care.
I feel sorry for all involved in this. Thad Cochran is in the twilight of his life. He may not have as much time left as all of you in the peanut gallery believe he should wait before he remarries.
Wish them well and get on with your own lives!

I don't give a shit who he married. At least Chris McDaniel and these tea party nut cases are not in charge. You people make the Republican Party look like a bunch of idiots. GO AWAY!
The Republican Party has done a very good job of looking like a bunch of idiots, thank you, without any help from the Tea Party. Enjoy your RINO shit sandwich.
