Unless he was moonlighting, any time spent on writing this book was a misuse of taxpayer funds. By the powers vested in me through this platform, I am issuing a demand letter for $37.22 plus interest for all of the time spent on this book. All kidding aside, I hope he got a good ghostwriter for this one.

No thanks.

I don't understand why Shad would do this book about an on-going, still prosecuting case. It looks really bad and I'm a Shad supporter. (Especially against no-show Lynn.) Is he at least donating proceeds to some welfare-related charity?

Don’t really care either way, but someone please explain to me how a sitting Auditor can release a book about an ongoing case and not taint the jury pool, prejudice the case, etc. The timing really seems odd.

Shad will likely leverage all of this experience for much bigger and better things outside ms.gov. You get nothing but grief and willfully ignorant criticism from the uneducated rednecks and hayseeds in Mississippi. Like Dr. Ogeron of ITS and Dr. Dobson of MDHS, there are greener, more lucrative pastures everywhere. No reason to put up with the petty bullshit here.

I feel like Shad has some good stock to become a household name, no offense to Shadrack from the Old Testament...but I don't think the Brett Favre case is anything to relish in to this degree. The touchdown celebration can sometimes undo the victory of the touchdown itself...

I don't like Fiction.

Because Shad cannot get out of his own way, that's why. He is a narcissist, and he simply cannot stand it if he is not in the news.

Currently #73,977 on Amazon. Is it a coffee table book? Can we ask Dickie?

Shad is an interesting style/person. Will follow closely.

@1:16 - please do tell us all about Shad’s experience, including his time before Phil appointed him Auditor.

Books about public corruption in Mississippi are not totally without precedent. If that sort of thing interests you, check out Hands In The Till by James Crockett.

I think Shad does a good job. I think the DHS scandal is horrible and everyone involved is a POS. But this is arrogant, self promoting, and not a very good look at all.

Mississippi taxpayers fund an expensive and totally unnecessary and divisive DEI program at Ole Miss. Why?
What is wrong with advancement through merit and competence? Why are there separate standards for some? Why should there be a taxpayers' program to advance and promote students based upon a person's appearance or ethnicity?

Hasn't the US Supreme Court ruled this is illegal?

I hope Shad's book speaks to these issues.

"...ignorant criticism from the uneducated rednecks and hayseeds in Mississippi. Like Dr. Ogeron of ITS and Dr. Dobson of MDHS"

Who? But you refer to medical doctors as uneducated rednecks and hayseeds? You're a real piece of work, for sure.

Wow! That is some deep philosophy (perhaps learned by watching ESPN).

"The touchdown celebration can sometimes undo the victory of the touchdown itself... "

Especially if the guy doing the celebrating didn't make the touchdown AND no one else has either. At least not yet, and even if the Feds make one, ol' Shad will still have been up in the stands watching rather than on the field doing.

Reminds me of an old joke: I am wearing a Yale club tie because I became a member of that club when I went to Yale...you are wearing an Ole Miss/Alabama tanktop because Walmart sells them.

37 bucks and change, all for the pleasure of hearing Dumbo the class-traitor bloviate. I'll stay home with a blow-dryer, at least that hot air does something for me. Haranguing on JJ will have to suffice.

KF you're doing an excellent job of filtering the posts that hit a little too close to home factually for your boy Shad. Nice job selling out.

If Shad doesn’t discuss Bryant’s involvement in helping to support the Florida drug company, then Shad has no credibility in my book and this will hurt his political future. And for those of you who may still question Phil’s involvement, just read his texts.

@3:36 - everyone knows Phil is dirty and Shad is protecting him. No one cares and will gladly vote for either while bitching about all the black crime.

I deal with a lot of people and businesses in my line of work. Some really interesting folk, and plenty that aren't worth a cold drink of water. I've got plenty of stories for a few books or screenplays, but why the hell would I want to promote my name with my mug on the cover of a book?

Again, I don't necessarily dislike him...if he wants to be a famous conservative politician, at least that's better than being a famous liberal one that wants to take my guns and give me higher taxes instead. Just think it is a little distasteful to be writing a book like this. He is clearly exploiting his current position for all that it's worth and then some...

With the lawsuits around he would be a fool to lie in this book. Remember, there’s no honest print media in our state to tell this story. I can’t wait to read it.

What was Bryant's crime? Be specific.

@8:33 - I’m not @3:36, but based on Phil’s own texts, conspiracy would be an easy one to start with. God forbid anyone suggest he embezzled…..

@2:06 PM, can you give us a link to the syllabus for the Ole Miss DEI course? Then we would know what they're actually teaching. You've read the syllabus, right?

James Crockett also wrote a book on Operation Pretense ("Operation Pretense: The FBI's Sting on County Corruption in Mississippi") and a book on the Scruggs scandal ("Power Greed Hubris: Judicial Bribery in Mississippi").

Everyone needs to understand that we all live in a state where "it's who you know, not what you know" thrives. Shad will not go after the "big fish" at this time because of who would be involved. His hands are tied to low hanging fruit. That said, I do have hope that this state will get over the "good ol' boy" system one day. MS is held back from it. Until then, it's business as usual....enjoy what you support.
