Another Mary Hawkins Butler “worshipper”. She says jump and Bubba JUMPS. Here we go again.

Well, he has to win re-election too.

4:51, It is obvious that you don’t know Bubba Bramlet or you would not make such an asinine statement. I have known Bubba since he was Rankin County prosecutor in the 1990s. He is straight up and doesn’t worship anyone except the Lord. He doesn’t jump for Mary or anyone else.

Bubba sounds perfect for that job.

Savvy call by the Guv. Bubba is a Brandon native, so he will be strong in both counties of the district.

You people disgust me!!! Most of the people who post here are not happy people. If you really know, or even care about others, you wouldn't be so negative.

4:51 is so off base, it’s laughable. Just throw a post up and see if it sticks. Hint: that one didn’t.

When will people quit calling their children or themselves “Bubba”? It’s never been a real name and never will.

As long as Mary Hawkins is mayor the DA office will be controlled by her.

I may like him, don’t know anything about him. But, do I have to call him Buuba???

@4:51

Please enlighten the rest of us as to some of the things about which Mayor Mary has told Mr. Bramlett to "jump." I would truly love to hear about them. I'll be waiting on the edge of my chair.

There is a Bubba on "In the Heat of the Night" really I saw it on tv at lunch time today.

8:41, What makes you think that Mary Hawkins.controls or even is interested in the DA’s office operations? The DA prosecutes felony cases which have little or nothing to do with Mary or the city of Madison

Sometimes it is better to remain silent and have the world think you a fool than to open your mouth and confirm the fact!

Yeah, I too am unclear how Mayor Mary controls Rankin County.

I have not heard from a soul in Madison who has ever heard of this guy and have asked many who the hell he is. I'm not interested in who does or doesn't control him but it would be nice if anybody in these parts had ever heard of him.

Another of Feel Brant's inane appointments, as we are still smarting from the wounds he inflicted when he blessed us with Annie-Oakley-Hyde-Smith.

As someone said above, this guy will have to eventually RUN for this office (although the governor did not mention that in his little appointment speech).

And can we please stop with the family's posts?

What? A white, male, republican appointed by Philbilly? Clutch my pearls! Don’t know the guy. But, any friend of Philbilly isn’t a friend of mine. It’s time for him to retire to the barn. He’s embarrassed our state enough.

I had another Rankin/Madison ADA tell me that he was for sure going to get the job. He went around trying to tell people he could get them jobs at the DA's office, etc. Looks like that particular ADA was wrong... how embarrassing for him! look forward to working with you, BUBBA!

to 4:51pm, mary hawkins could maybe control a bad hair day. she does not control the district atty.

Mary has nothing to do with the DA, both Guest and Bramlett are Brandon boys. If anyone "controls" that position, as you say, it's Rankin County. Mary may be the queen of brick city, but that's about as far as she goes. Side note, I grew up with Bubba and he is a solid guy. He was very active in church when I was a yute. I've always respected him.

to 7:02 ...im not family. bubba been around 30 years, about 15 of those as an ADA and rankin county attorney. maybe you should try to pay attention a little more.

Phil might have appointed him per his duty, but I "feel" fairly certain the outgoing DA, Mr. Guest, hand picked his predecessor for this "appointment" to carry out the good work he's been doing, prosecuting thugs and criminals in Rankin and Madison Counties.

The identity politicos are out in full force over a guys name, "Bubba". You Dems and liberals need to play by your own rules to have any credibility these days. That's like me assuming a Mayor named Lumumba and a Counselman named Stokes don't care about the "republicans" in their city...wait...hold that thought.

Bubba Bramlett is a good man from a good family. He was a pretty good quarterback for the Brandon Bulldogs back in the early 1980's. The man has always been a leader! He'll be a good DA too.

@11:22am... if only his ability to be a "pretty good quarterback for the Brandon Bulldogs" was a key component to prosecuting cases. Am I to assume that he played on the same football team as Michael Guest?

@9:27 PM , If you can't figure out why your mayor would want cozy relations with the DA and/or FBI, you might want to pause and think about that. Perhaps you haven't been around here long?

Marty Miller seemed like a great candidate to me but I admittedly have no knowledge of Mr. Bramlett(Bubba) Geez.

Bubba is a good guy. I have worked on cases with him. He is fair, knowledgeable, and easy to work with, yet not a push over. The truth of the matter is that Madison Rankin judges run the court system with an iron fist and that’s not about to change regardless of who is DA.

So. I've heard that Marty resigned from the DA's office. Anybody know if that's correct?

Does he have a name other than Bubba? Please tell me he does. And no, 9:09, 90% of us have never heard of Bubba. Makes me wonder where in hell Bryant gets his recommendations. Maybe down at Boots 'N More.

It is indeed perfect that the prosecutor of Rankin County be named Bubba.

@4:29 pm. Nice try. He also represents Madison County (which includes the snobs of “Madison the City”). Oh! And he also lives in Madison County.

1:01 If he hasn’t already he certainly intends to.

Bubba Bramlett will make a great DA!
