Maybe he can play the role of Santa Claus at Parchman

Betcha your JJ Harpy is very, very happy.

Time to get off the sauce Terry.

get this thug off the road before he kills someone...

Good touch putting the two liquor ads under the article.

Senator Burton is a really good guy who is considerate to all, and that matters if you have a legislative need but dont know much about the process. However, he is going to have to go cold turkey and quit the drinking. I hope folks will let this go and let the good Senator move on if he makes the changes he needs to make.

He only blew a .1, ladies. (Yes, I know the limit is .08 now.)

6:55. I agree. Senator Buton is a very nice guy and not one of the fake pricks that strut around the other top offices of the Capitol.

He should resign. We need people with ethical, moral, and personal standards in office. Nothing wrong with having a drink, but dont drive. He is a disgrace to the State and to his position. Resign now.

And we all know that when it comes to pricks you're a damn aficionado.

Did you call for John Horhn to resign @8:08 PM?

Feel only dranks sweet ice tea, but it doesn't help. He continues to wonder aimlessly.

Nice guy? Bullshit. He's so far up the lieutenant gov's ass he can't see the light of day. ALL he does is give lip service "I support you guys...blah blah bullshit". He votes just as the lt gov orders him to. He has no ethics, doesn't look out for the people in his district & ONLY looks out for the lt gov and his own pockets. It's time for the Republucans to unite against this tyrant (Tate reeves). They are so worried about keeping a stupid flag, taking over an airport, preventing gays from having equal rights, & keeping transgender people out of a bathroom. Sounds like they need to clean up their own stinking backyards. Out with the current leadership & campaign finance reform!

8:08,
We need people with ethical, moral, and personal standards in office.
Name one.

Whisky River?

940- While I'm the one who said Terry is a nice guy, which is true ( at least he is personable), I have to confess that you are correct in stating the other side of things: Tator and Feel have driven our dear Terry to err and stray on behalf of their damnable social legislation that will handicap Mississippi's economy from here to the Kingdom come, restricting jobs, money and our future prospects. Thank you for balancing my sentimental observations with reality. Regardless of what their polls tell them, Tator and Feel's historic legacies are diminished accordingly by the economic harm they have done by their stupid social legislation.

Terry is a good guy. Known him socially for 15 plus years.

He votes the will of his constituents....conservative on all issues.

For his safety and others, he does need to consider stopping drinking.

The next one is a serious offense with heinous repurcussions.

Good luck Terry

so he gets a pass because he's a nice guy you know.

kids who break into homes deserve Parchman.

crime is crime folks. both should get third chances or not...

Senator Burton is a super nice guy. One of the few republicans that I really like.

@4:29- I agree with you that SOCIALLY he is a good guy. However, I don't think he was elected to be a socially nice guy. I 100% disagree with you that he votes for the people in his district. I'm sorry, but you have no idea what you are talking about. Just like several of the people who posted above......he votes for Terry C and Tate Reeves and no one else. He has supported legislation that has hurt the people in his district for fear that disagreeing with Tate will jeopardize his position in the Senate. Period. He has desired this position since the dawn of time. He was Amy Tuck's lap dog (begging to get the status he now has) and now that's what he is to Tate. I've been around politics and the MS Legislature for a long time. I don't care which side of the issues you stand, but one thing is very certain. NEVER has it been this bad. You have a dictator in Tate Reeves. He doesn't allow senators to represent their constitutants. He is not good for our state and not good for the political process in our state. I firmly believe that we will all look back on these years and the damage to our state, our reputation, and our economy will be evident for generations to come.

@844 yes he should resign as well. we need people with integrity. not people who abuse the system. Also term limits for all elected officials would be nice

Am I the only one that caught this----The Honorable Senator Burton initially lied to the WLBT reporter when asked about his arrest. He first said he wasn't arrested. He later called back and said that misunderstood the question. Terry, Terry, Terry, let me teach you something I learned a long time ago. When my momma caught me doing something wrong, I'd get a spanking. When I got caught doing something wrong and then lied-I'd get TWO whoopings. We all know that lying is what Tater Tot Reeves encourages. But, in this instance, you probably need to rethink Ole Tate's rules.

One other thing-I saw where Tater released a statement saying the judicial system would take care of this. Two things 1) they sure will because all eyes will be watching it. Second offense, hopefully, will result in some jail time for you. 2) Ain't it funny how Tater washes his hands of you pretty quickly. You done a lot of his dirty work and now he's done with you. Kinda ironic. Sell your soul to the devil and this is what happens. Lastly-I know I said 2 things, but I have a third 3) If this happened in the House, Phillip would take care of business, meaning you would be immediately stripped of your role. Tater on the other hand, he's just ole tater.

@10:42 that is the problem. Nobody with standards wants to run because it is so corrupt. Democrats and republicans. They are all the same when the microphones and cameras are off. In it for the money.

Hotty Toddy !

Terry C made a mistake - a big mistake, but face it folks - we all have made mistakes, we all have family members who have had DUI's and we don't turn our back on them. Make no mistake Terry needs help and I would hope that Tate Reeves will help him find it and stand by Terry C as he gets on with his life. He has made a good Pro Tempore of the Senate and I hope that the residents of his district will stand tall with him. It is my hope that Tate will stand by Terry as a friend. I googled the "Intoxilyzer 8000" and found many articles as to the reliability of the machine. People - do the same thing and google it and read the articles and comments. I only wish the best for Terry C and his wife Darlene. May God bless them.

I hope Senator Burton will get help. The legislature is in recess. He should take some time for himself.

Why wasn't the accident box checked on the arrest report?

Sen Burton cannot be "stripped" of his title Pro Tempore by Tate... that position is elected by the members, not appointed by Lt Gov. Also, Burton is clearly voting and leading according to the will of his constituents, as evidenced by his repeated reelection over decades. And, there are a lot of Republicans that think the Senate is heading in the right direct ion under Tate and Terry B. Many Tea Partyers are in full agreement with Tate as to both tax cuts and ceasing the bond projects. Using Burton's unfortunate event to hammer Tate and the Senate is wrong. Hopefully Sen Burton will address his personal issues and move forward with his leadership. Good people make mistakes.

2nd offence, I know people who have received 10-12 DUIs. Still driving and drinking.

6:48: "I 100% disagree with you that he votes for the people in his district."

How do you explain his tenure, then?

This is all under Tate's leadership. Tate is to blame. We need someone like McDaniel or Watson running the show and this crap wouldn't happen. Tate is just as bad as Burton.

Hmmm,I-20 Eastbound at/near mile marker 91. That would be about 3 miles East of the Forest Exit 88 and near the rest stop. Maybe he couldn't figure out which restroom to use?

12:21, he must have forgotten his birth certificate. Got to carry that in case you have to go to the bathroom. Never know when it will be show and tell time.

12:06 - glad you helped explain to the great unwashed where all this hate (attacks on Terry C and transferring it Tate Reeves) is coming from. Glad to know that the McD GOP forces are still alive after the drubbing last weekend.

Eastbound and down
Loaded up and snortin'
Help Old Terry
Make it home by nine.

This is a bigger conversation a out Tate's failed leadership. He might not have appointed Terry but EVERYONE knows he was Tate's pick.

Lock up this habitually offending thug and throw away the key.

Before they can lock up anyone they have to release one that is already locked up. Can't stack them on top of each other. Might be a murderer that gets released and a drunk locked up.

All you pansy-pussies clamoring for justice need to admit your only basis is party politics. Light the grill tomorrow nite and fall in the flower bed.

7:12, sometimes people with standards run for office. We just have a hard time winning.

10:22 (Bill)

Change your OH position and let's try it again.

Burton was at the Florida Georgia line concert that night.

There is no excuse for drinking and driving. I hear all this crap about drinking being a disease---it's a choice---a person makes a decision to drink and he deserves what ever comes his way. Politics is a dirty business filled with whores, drugs and alcohol and I bet there is not one congressman or senator that has not tried one if not all. The worse thing about all this is they cheat on the people that elected them---BURTON MUST GO !!!!!!

Lost count of the posts that try to make the subject Tate Reeves. This has nothing to do with politics or Tate Reeves or Feel of even Billy McCoy. Would be good if we could get a list of all the legislators red and blue lighted, driving drunk, either leaving legislative sessions, departing Ticos or headed home at session's end. There would be hundreds on the list.

Before the day of roadside sobriety checkpoints, advanced radar systems and blow-tubes, it was almost expected that legislators would drive drunk and be released on their own recognizance. Whether driving home to Bolivar or Washington or Lee....it was commonplace. Still is.

Why do you think legislative car tags and window stickers identifying these official people were created?

The Ole Miss shirt is a nice touch, from the folks I've met who've attended that fine school, Burton's behavior is a more accurate representation than their adopted nickname "Harvard of the South." Ignorant hillbillies are ignorant hillbillies, no matter how many people voted for them...
