Governor in LR

Miss. Gov. Haley Barbour will be in Little Rock next week -- Tuesday, Sept. 30 -- for a $250-a-head luncheon to raise money for the Republican effort to elect John McCain. Pay $1,000 and you can get your photo taken with the veteran Washington lobbyist.

Boy, if ever there was a sleezeball....
put Barbour's head on one of those plates and I might pay a grand.

Amen jb! I'd rather have a piece of fishing line snaked down my nose, into my stomach, down my large intestines, my small intestines and out my anus....then a large 3 pronged deep-sea fishing thing they call a treble hook attached and then a strong man from the circus to yank the hook back up thru my body tearing off my nose as it came out..than to be in the same room with Haley Barbour even if he was paying me 1000 for the honor of my bloody presence.

Fuck Haley Barbour, a perfect example of what's wrong with America! Should I type this IN ALL CAPS?

There ya go Zelda, have your pix taken with Grandpa, nail it to a pole, plant in yard,

fire ant problem ended.

Re: the issue of paddling brought up last week - from ADG - A paddling of a junior high student by the principal of her school has resulted in a lawsuit. John Crowder, principal is alleged to have given the student three licks on her buttocks with a wodden paddle on Feb 4, 1997. Crowder decling to comment on the suit. "I'll have my say in court and after it's all said and done"

Maybe he can do some recruiting for his tobacco control program. There's folks at ADH highly qualified for a public health program run by a tobacco lobbyist.
I wonder how Trent Lott's house is coming along?

What DBI said, squared.

Just the thought of Haley Barbour being in my town is enough to make me ill.

Ooooh child! I'd love to see that upstanding Christain man Mr. Barber with Mrs. Sarah Lou Palin. Don't you know how tickled the saints of the Lord would be to see so much goodness in one teeninsey lil old room?

And child, I am SO unhappy that they just won't stop pestering Mrs. Sarah Lou Palin. About them Troopsergreat and such as that. If Mrs. Sarah Lou Palin had something to say, the Lord would tell her to say it.

The Bible, the Living Word of the Holy Sanctified God, I'm telling you, says, "Obey those who rule over you, and be submissive, for they watch out for your souls, as those who must give account. Let them do so with joy and not with grief, for that would be unprofitable for you" (Heb. 13:17).

Don't that speak plain to you all heatherns on this here glob? We supposed to submit. The same way Mrs. Sarah Lou Palin supposed to submit to the man over her in the Lord, we supposed to submit to those in authority over us, since God's the one done put them in authority over us.

And if God is not telling her husband to talk about the Troopersgreat, and he's telling Mrs. Sarah Lou Palin not to talk, then we're questioning the Most Holy Sanctified God Hisself, if we question them good folks any more about that there Troopersgreat.

Let God be God. And let God be Lord over the Us of A. And let people ordained of God to lead us do the leading.

That's what me and my Sunday school class say.

jazzy, thanks for the best laugh of the day thus far!

"three licks on her buttocks with a wodden paddle on Feb 4, 1997"

Eleven years ago? Sheese.....

Hmmmm....lunch with Haley Barbour........I would have to list that as my second most favorite thing to do.....right behind my most favorite thing to do........getting a root canal.


Mississippi's Ballot Trick

Published: September 10, 2008

Mississippi's governor, Haley Barbour, and its secretary of state have come up with a particularly cynical dirty trick for the November election. Let's call it: "Where's the Senate race?"

Defying state law, they have decided to hide a hard-fought race for the United States Senate at the bottom of the ballot, where they clearly are hoping some voters will overlook it. Their proposed design is not only illegal. It shows a deep contempt for Mississippi's voters.

.

Many Mississippians have benefited from Governor Haley Barbour's efforts to rebuild the state's devastated Gulf Coast in the two years since Hurricane Katrina.

The $15 billion or more in federal aid the former Republican national chairman attracted has reopened casinos and helped residents move to new or repaired homes.

Among the beneficiaries are Barbour's own family and friends, who have earned hundreds of thousands of dollars from hurricane-related business. A nephew, one of two who are lobbyists, saw his fees more than double in the year after his uncle appointed him to a special reconstruction panel.

Federal Bureau of Investigation agents in June raided a company owned by the wife of a third nephew, which maintained federal emergency-management trailers.

Meanwhile, the governor's own former lobbying firm, which he says is still making payments to him, has represented at least four clients with business linked to the recovery.

To take Barbour's ethics blurriness a few notches further, it appears that Barbour has had a Bill Frist like problem of not being blind about what was inside his blind trust.

I guess Cheney is to busy accelerating the war in Pakistan... to join the old haley and raise the price of a Chicken lunch.

Whenever you are swamped with news of the day.. stop and ask yourself, Where the heck is Cheney? Oh yeah, he's working on world war.

Barbour had the Mississippi supreme court knock him down a bit last week.. he was trying to place all the Dem candidates on the bottom of the Nov ballot, in small print. Miss Supremes said it was illegal, but they couldn't actually do anything about it if he broke the law.

That is what a Republican government does to Democracy in America.


Remember Mike Espy? Sec. of Agriculture. The Ark Tysons, Archie Schafer connection. Espsy had been aquitted in 1994 of all corruption charges. Archie Schafer wasn't so lucky.

Anyways says at "Y'all Politics" that Mike Espy is supporting Gov Barbour for re election.

Strange bedfellows on blue name.

.

Lordy, jazzy, I couldn't keep my big mouth shut long enough to get past security...or keep out of jail. (But I can 'occasionally' keep it closed in Wal Mart...ha!)

I prefer to think of him as "former NPR commentator Haley Barbour".

My friends, do you think they will have the same black men parking cars at the event that they had for my friend's Hillary money raising event up at Kaki and Max's mansion. I never had an event at Kaki and Max's. Wonder why?
