The King Edward tour at the Hilton

Update: Wlbt covered the story. Mrs. Blackmon said she had a temporary permit but it "fell down". She also refused to go on camera or let them inspect the permit itself.
















The King Edward tour came to the Hilton on August 16. Heard it was a good show.

Earlier post on the Bravo! tour stop.

Is there no Temporary Handicap tag on the front mirror or any other item that is allowing him to park in these areas? I just find it hard to beleive he would be so arrogant that he just keeps doing this.

You find it hard to believe that Ed Blackmon lacks sufficient arrogance to park any damn place he wants?

You must have only moved here for the first time last week.

Why did the manager of this hotel as well as the local police allow this arrogant jerk to park in a handicapped area?

Anonymous said...

Wow, WLBT is paying attention to you.

Kingfish said...

The person who took the photo said there wasn't one. There is a picture of the front of the car in the other set of photos showing no temporary one.

Even if there is one because Barb had knee replacement surgery, I'd still raise hell. When I had knee surgery a few years ago, I couldn't get a lil ole special tag so why should she?

Truly disgusting. A fine example to set.. Is the driver really that lazy? Not to mention TWICE in 3 days! Let's go walking Mississippi!

ATTENTION LOCAL MEDIA OUTLETS:
A perfect opportunity to question and confront this person on camera would be this Friday's special session.

Wow! He is one big ugly freak. I swear, ugly and elitist and that wife he has...why is anyone surprised. I cannot believe people elect this...person.

Makes me want to vote Republican for sure.

gezz, the guy is a serial violator. Isn't there a three strikes and you're out law?

I hope WLBT is truly on our side on this one and pushes the issue for the people.

It's pretty obvious EB is going to park where he wants to park when he wants to park and has probably been doing it for years and years. I just hope people keep following him getting pictures!

Old Barb emailed WLBT a picture of a handicapped decal with her name written in because she was driving the car. You really get one of those decals for knee surgery? Really? Power has its privileges, it appears.

Kingfish said...

she wouldn't let them verify it though. Refused to go on camera. Refused to let them see it.

And my source that was at the Hilton told me she was not there.

I got one when I had a broken pelvis. It was good for 90 days, and I only used it when I parked at the doctor's office. However, if you don't have it displayed on your car, you are considered as not having one. Old Barb (if she really was the one driving the car)should have had a ticket when she returned to her car.

Anonymous said...

WLBT needs to do is call the tax collector's office to see if they issued her a handicap decal. No need for her to verify anything; tax collector has records.

Well Haley parks in the handicap parking space all the time. Does he have some kind of special privileges too?

"When I had knee surgery a few years ago, I couldn't get a lil ole special tag so why should she?"

This is very odd - did the state refuse to issue one after your surgeon signed the form? I have signed forms many times for patients who have difficulty with mobility for any reason, and no one has ever had it turned down by the state. As far as I know the state can't refuse to issue a temporary tag once the paperwork is completed appropriately.

People with COPD, congestive heart failure, and other conditions that make it difficult to walk more than 100 feet are also eligible. They usually qualify for the permanent tag though. My brother-in-law from California visits twice a year, rents a car from the airport, and they have the temporary tag waiting for him at the rental place when he arrives.

I can certainly understand certain conditions that require special parking, but what I don't understand are those who pull into these handicap spaces with a permanent or temp tag and proceed into the store and walk around the entire store without the need for a motorized cart that usually is available at many grocery stores. I see this all the time.

People who can't walk very well have to wait for these folks to leave the store in order to free up a space. It seems if the people can walk around the store they can walk a little futher in the parking lot, too.

If you have some proof then cough it up.

Um, which office? Hinds or Madison?

Kingfish said...

Tax collector's office won't release any info. Says its private.

why is Mrs. Blackmon driving a car with MS House of Rep tag? Were these tags not intended solely for the members themselves? How many members allow their wives to drive cars with duplicate HORep tags? Surely she does not use it at the Capitol when she is there acting as a lobbyist.

Anonymous said...

Get the number off Barb's and get someone to run the number. I am also thinking a temp handicap parking pass is a different color than a permanent one. The temp ones used to be red and the permanent ones dark blue.

Anonymous said...

oh, that's right Barb drives the BMW with House tag at work and when at play she drives her Bently with Florida tags.

Kingfish said...

I bet her so-called permit will be in full view next time she parks in a handicapped spot.

Anonymous said...

Someone with pull at MHP should check the HC perm and temp database and confirm if she has one or not. If she doesn't, then she just told WLBT a fat lie to get to explain too.

FOIA

Anonymous said...

I bet there is a HIPAA problem with a FOIA request dealing with handicap permits.

Anonymous said...

HIPAA violation? Is the tax office a "covered entity" (i.e., a health care provider)?

I think public records are public records, although Calif. made all license plate info private after a stalker used it to attack (and I think kill) an actress.

didn't you know her ass is disabled? it's called lazy ass disability

Her disability lies between her ears (his too)!!

Yeah, when the Fresh Prince of Canton is not making life miserable for the disabled & (everyone else) .
He routinely tries to qualify for the Pole Position at Talladaga each time he drives on 220.

He made a mint on disabilty cases before they put a limit on what the lawyers could get, the poor disable people were the ones who lost and he made his fortune. Once when questioned about where he lived, he told them that his wife had a clothing business and she kept clothes in the house. Then evidently things got a little warm for him and he moved from Jackson back into Madison County.

After hearing Barbara Blackmon's tirade after the election that she lost I would believe anything she might say, she was a real b----, she made herself look really dumb.
In her feeble mind she had won and she wasn't going to concede for any reason, she was an embarrassment to her party.

Anonymous said...

I'm tired of these public officials' arrogant and elitist attitudes!! I remember when EB had the cameras removed downtown when his poor little daughter got her tag number recorded after running a red light. Fine lesson that teaches her, huh. It's time for these folks who think they are untouchable and above everyone else to be called on the carpet. Just another example showing that money and position DO NOT buy class.

Kingfish said...

What did she do after she lost the election? I didn't catch it.

She blamed her loss on racism; no more, no less. She wouldn't even consider the possibility that her years in the public eye had given voters a complete picture of what to expect if she got elected, and decided to vote for someone else. It's always all due to racism.

Kingfish said...

She was a first time candidate for statewide office running against an incumbent in a high profile job. She lost 61-39%. Racism had nothing to do with it. She SHOULD HAVE lost that race.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
