Roger Wicker's campaign Is attacking Ronnie Musgrove.
There's a problem though.
He doesn't seem to know what they are attacking him for... in an ad he clearly approves at the beginning.
Watch:
Props to WAPT for catching the Wickster (AKA Trickster) at his political game.
We deserve better.
I'd posted this video over on The Thorn Papers earlier this morning and was just about to send you a heads up email.
ReplyDeleteGuess there was no need.
We've had three folks e-mail us links. He's really not that great of a candidate is he?
ReplyDeleteAnybody who has played Bush's biggest fan this many years and has just blindly supported whatever the Bush administration pushed is not the brightest bulb in the chandelier. This vid ought to be shocking but in Wicker's case, it's just not.
ReplyDeleteThe idea of him trying to fill the shoes of Trent Lott is too funny for words. Nobody has ever accused me of being a Lott supporter, but at least the man had some smarts and he certainly had cojones.
Roger's in way over his head; if he's not careful, he's going to drown in spite of that solid footing (incumbency) Haley so carefully placed him on.
If he'd stayed with his oh-so-very safe House seat, he'd probably have been in there til the cows came home.
Wouldn't it be ironic to give up his seat in the House and shortly afterward, lose his seat in the Senate, and be left sitting on the sidelines because the Guv tried to manipulate?

Now, now. You know better than that.
ReplyDeleteDang I missed it, who was it? Not Chuck again?
ReplyDeleteWhat was the problem with the post?
ReplyDeleteHow does such a comment add anything to the discussion?
ReplyDeleteWe stay away from such things regardless of candidate or party.
Well maybe I missed the point. You attacked Wicker because he didn't know about Musgrove's unethical acts. Off the cuff he couldn't answer a WLBT reporter. We all have brain cramps, several of us have them more often than we should.
ReplyDeleteIt was implied that Musgrove hasn't committed unethical acts. So I listed one. Testimony has been given, with its truth debatable, about Musgrove having an affair with a client. Wicker made Musgrove's ethics an issue, and I cited an example. I haven't seen a formal denial by Musgrove. His having an affair with a client is very much at issue. Is this conduct we want from a US Senator? Is he held to the same standard as Bill Clinton, Newt Gingrich, John Edwards, Chip Pickering (lots of assumptions here), David Vitter, Bob Livingston, etc....
You bet.
You may stay away from such things, but they do need to be discussed. I don't want my child googling his US Senator and reading that deposition testimony.
P.S. That last post didn't name names. Your readers can decide if they want to investigate further.
ReplyDeleteOkay.
ReplyDeleteI'll leave that up, but like I said we tend to shy away from such things.
Unlike talk radio and other more conservative sites in Mississippi we don't tend to target folks for their personal lives.
We've heard a lot of rumors about similar things involving Haley Barbour before he was governor or Representative Pickering (even before he declared he wouldn't seek re-election and then began his divorce), but we've stayed away from it, because we don't think it's good to cover.
We don't want kids to google that and find it either.
