Jackson Jambalaya

I hope he can recover fully and safely without illness or complications. Prayers of protection for his staff, family and others who have been in contact with him.

He actually tried to wear a mask, to protect others. But, the others didn't GAF about protecting him. And he's no spring chicken. God bless him.

At what point do some of our fellow Republicans grow up and become men instead of 3 year olds blurting "FreeDumb?"

It's time for grown ups to be in charge.

It all makes sense now. He was clearly a double agent pretending to be a Republican while working secretly to change the flag. How else could he have caught this thing if he wasn’t hanging out with antifa and BLM protestors? Well played Delbert, you fooled everyone.

Hopes and prayers. It is just a small price to pay for preserving our constitution. Give me liberty or give me death. Don't tread on on me. Better dead than red.

I've yet to see my legislator wear a mask. Taking a queue from Trump.

I'll be glad when all of our GOP officials don't cower over what Trump might think. Not that I'm looking forward to a democrat take over of the country, but its embarrassing how they line up behind him on EVERY issue, including masks.

12:01 -- Bulls**t. Delbert didn't wear a mask most of the time. You must be one of the few left on his staff that hasn't tested positive yet and are trying to stay in his good graces.

Delbert stood at the podium with his mask hanging on his michrophone - while leaning over to talk to whoever he felt the need or desire to talk with - while his mask stayed hooked on the podium.

Look at his pictures while taking basking in the glory of taking down the flag - you see a mask anywhere?

What about his talking to the press all while trying to run the state - a mask visible anywhere?

Keep up the story trying to praise his glory - but next time do it where the photo collections won't blow your coverage.

Well, with Dilbert and Phillip gone, who's going to man the ship while the legislature gets around to finally passing a budget for DMR?


Maybe Trey can do it, so he can try to get some GOMESA funds to add to his CARES Act dollars for his closed hospital.

It's that old lady who sat beside him on that park bench. If she had taught him how to wash his hands better, he would be OK. Not his momma? Then why did I vote for him?

Does anyone really believe that the wears a mask when there are no cameras around? Or out of view of the public?

Drinks/lunch/dinner with lobbyists?

Drinks/lunch/dinner with palm greasing contributors?

Remember, wearing masks is only a mandate for the little people and unwashed masses, not career politicians.

I'm betting that in a few weeks he will be sharing anecdotes about how he has been through worse influenza infections.

@12:55 - you nailed it. Too much fraternizing with the "pay to play" crowd.

If you know Delbert, then you know that HIS infection will be much worse than anybody else's and he could wax on eloquently about it for days. Just ask him!! Or, please don't!

@12:01, I know right, fellow Fondrener. Freedom, the very principle the country was founded on and a Document drafted to protect, is so stupid isn’t it! Do as the government says! They love us and want us to be safe!

Saw Delbert picking up lunch at Primos in Flowood last Thursday, with his mask pulled down below his chin as he talked with the cashier and those around him. Seems like a nice guy, he just was not following recommended guidelines when I saw him. Primos might need to get their staff tested.

12:01 - Damn right, except that Delbert needs to be one of those that "grows up" as you say.

Despite what you and others of his flock say, he hasn't been following the rules, just flouting them.

He has a mask, and at times he actually has it covering his face. But doing it 'at times' but not when its needed doesn't count - except of course for you and the other a**kissers.

Look at the comment above about him at Primos. Pulling it down to talk to people just shows how arrogant he is - wearing it part time, but when he wants to talk, which is when it is really needed for its intended purpose, he decides it is in his way and the rules don't apply to him. He is Delbert after all. He is above all of that.

And now he gets to pay the price, as do those around him - the cashier at Primos, the staff members that he treats like yard chillen, and the other folks that have to cowtow to him daily.

Praise all you want, but the evidence is in the pictures. His mask is like his political personna - covers up for some stuff, but his nose still pops out.

Or maybe.... just maybe.... the virus can not be stopped? Maybe all we are able to do is mitigate the risk? Maybe, we are not Gods? Gasp, I know right?


But keep pretending that we are the great saviors and that only you can prevent corona fires.

Just watched a news conference with the top two health officials in Mississippi. Dr. Dobbs and Dr. Byers. Silliest thing I ever saw. They kept pulling their mask off and talking and then putting it back on. Should be wearing it constantly when around others as they preach to the masses.

I wish 12:01 would grow a pair and stop being afraid of everything and trying to get everybody else to be afraid of everything

The mask is not a Silver Bullet. The oral-fecal route is a known heavy transmitter of the virus. We have 90 communities whose wastewater treatment is in non-compliance and plenty of hunting camps straight-lining sewage into rivers and ponds. We’re awash in sewage loaded with the virus and your mask will not do jack squat when you are exposed to that heavy of a viral load.
If you are waste deep in the Pearl River on flag island splashing in Carthage, Philadelphia and pontoon boat poop downing miller lites you will get this. If you are walking around Jackson with sewage blowing out of potholes, manholes, floor drains in the capitol and the trough at your local goober politician watering hole you are going to get this, mask or not.

So according to the Republican Governor, all the BLM protest lead to the increase in cases. Everyday we are hearing about another Republican leader that has COVID. This might be a good time for Tate to amend his statement.

Tatortot is likely saying it’s all cause he wouldn’t join no BLM protests but Gunn and Delbert were in the thick of it. It all stems from the protests, right? The other Legislators has to be marching also, right? Oh well, according to the Dear Leader there is a 99% certainty it’s just a little sickness so no big deal, right?

I hope he makes a full and quick recovery. Delbert is a true leader for Mississippi and his family is as one of the finest around.

Disappointed in him, and others, big time.

Hope he gets well, but perhaps this will keep him out of the media for a while. Of all the Lt Guv's I've known about, and that's a bunch, none have come close to him in terms of being in the press.

Thank God for Delbert. Get well soon, Sir.

Amen! Get well soon!!!

The CDC or WHO should hire @3:29 PM. Mississippi is blessed to have such an armchair expert.

At 73-years old he is a member of the very vulnerable group. Y'all be more careful and more responsible out there!
