How are they supposed to eat with a mask on? I knew a chick who could breath through her ears, but eating...no.

Gunn is a hypocrite. On EVERYTHING.

Trey must be too busy trying to be Politically Correct to have time for social distancing and masks.

Any pics of our hypocrites?

DUH 12.22 pm NOT social distancing and they should have their masks going in and out and ordering and paying.

You want to a businesses staff and customers to stay well or else, they'll have to close again.

CLUELESS! You are clueless!

KF - you have kicked the ant hill that is Gunn's overpaid lackey. They will be all over this site pushing back hard with strong political rhetoric. After all, that's why he is paid six figures.

It is almost as if our leaders know that it is all a hoax.

We have 20% unemployment because of what THESE GUYS say?

Meanwhile, the Swinging Bridge Festival is in full swing in Tate's old stomping grounds. Barbecue contest, live music and cornhole. Not many masks though.

Is this a surprise to anyone?

Remember when hardly any of the reps had up to date inspection stickers?
They all want special treatment from law enforcement. Use their knowledge of upcoming project, roads, etc. to benefit financially.

It has always been do as I say not as I do.

Went to a bar with a group of representatives a year ago. There was no shortage of lackeys pissing all over themselves to bring drinks to the reps.

It was comical to see them watching the crowd to identify who was down to the last few sips of their drink.

Even more comical is how these idiot representatives felt like they deserved to be waited on by lobbyists and groupies.

It was not their fault. If they had mask on, the lobbyists might not recognize them and they might have to pay for their own meals.

The only one with a mask on was the one who got caught beating up his wife last year. He was afraid HE WOULD be recognized.

He could wet kiss every person he sees in the Martins' parking lot for all I care, that man pushed the flag vote through the House!

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

1:04 pm like our President and unlike the rest of us , they are tested frequently and protected from folks like you.

They know as others do. There is not that much to this so called crisis. I want to see what everyone's gonna do when some real shit hit us. Numbers do not support Armageddon as others would have you believe. Still more folks dying from other malady's.

What an evil thing to say in closing. Damn.

I cannot even deal with all the ignorance in these comments. This virus is real and 125k people have died in 4 months. But sure, call it a hoax. UGH

I think that's why this virus has confounded so many politicians, it does not acknowledge that the rules (which they helped make) don't apply to them.

for decades the ms legislature met for the month of january only. here we are almost to july with no end in sight. all brought to you by your precious mississippi republican party. the party of ''limited'' government.

Kingfish, you are a disgusting human being. If you were on a reputable news site instead of your own little blog you would have justifiably been fired for making a statement wishing harm to come to others. Prove you are actually a decent human being and apologize.

At lunch, their task is to eat -- without a mask. On the House floor, the Speaker's job is to speak -- without a mask on, and our Representatives' job is to debate and argue -- without a mask on.

He could wet kiss every person he sees in the Martins' parking lot for all I care, that man pushed the flag vote through the House!
Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

====================

He’s been speaker since 2012 and now, in 2020, after businesses and universities told the state to change it, does he oh so bravely lead the charge. Give me a break.

He whipped up the votes, 6:27. He took advantage of the momentum, sure. But he and Filbert did a hell of a lot more than their predecessors or the governor.

Nope. No apologies. Do I wish harm on them? Hell no. Not at all.

Considering they scream at us all week long to wear masks and socially distance. I get press releases outlining what the strict procedures are to enter the Capitol because of Covid. Then when these guys are out of sight, they immediately revert to their true nature. Of course you have to remove a mask to eat. Duh.

Our state health officer is warning anyone who will listen all week long that public gatherings are a public health threat right now but these guys who SLRP away and think they are better than the rest of us think the rules don't apply to them and they are immune to the virus.

I meant I have no sympathy at all if they all gave it to each other when they are pulling stunts such as this one.

Trust me, I heard about this from more than one person. Several people were perturbed by their behavior.

The COVID is no joke. I have it good authority that it has killed 120 million Americans. I know it is true because the next President, Joe Biden said so.

6:27, Gunn has been pushing for a change of our flag for at least 5 years. Get the facts before you comment.

Gunn never "pushed" for a flag until the football coaches came to the cap dome on Thursday.

Look, the mask is for YOU people. YOU people and them people from other places are spreading the coronavirus. YOU people don’t worry about what is important folk are doing over here.

you should see em packed into the locker room at ticos. booze, steaks and women. all courtesy of the lobbyists that control them.

you should have stayed until the end of the lunch when the check comes. no legislator paid for anything. a lobbyist dropped by the next day to pay the tab. in cash of course.

Many times its the other way around. It is the legislators sticking the lobbyist with the tab. One one hand there is a lobbyist who needs legislation passed. On the other hand is a powerful chairman or legislator who is past that point of losing an election. He is in a position of power and he knows it. Who do you think leans on who for that tab? The legislators routinely stick lobbyists with the bills.

Several lobbyists have told me they try to avoid walking into Ticos and some of the other nice places during session unless it is a formal business dinner because all it means is a bunch of drunk legislators will stick them with the bill.

Kingfish, some of your commentators take this blog way too serious! I hope they don’t sue you for giving them a stroke or heart attack. Keep up the good work!

People it’s information!!!

"Kingfish, some of your commentators take this blog way too serious! "

Yep.

And KF seems to have been taking sarcastic comments way too serious as well over the last few weeks.

But it is his blog.

Not the same, but still his . . .

They know the virus, while real, generally only affects the very old and immunocompromised. They want YOU to wear the mask to prove your fealty.

I was in a bar in rural Madison county last Thursday night when a party bus loaded with state reps showed up. They proceeded to drink as much liquor as they could in a short amount of time. They were rude, loud and drunk. They didn't social distance or wear masks. I hear it was the flag committee.

It's not about them, it's about you. It's about keeping you so afraid that you will do whatever they tell you. You'll even wear a mask when you go outside in your own backyard by yourself.

That's how stupid you will be due to fear.

How has this post aged?
