The contenda's meet. (Updated w/video)

If you are absolutely bored and have absolutely nothing to do, here is the video of the forum for the Jackson mayoral candidates last night from start to finish. I'll post excerpts in the next few days but here is the unedited raw video. Enjoy. ;-)

There should be a law that ALL democrats must speak in public and it be recorded

Chokwe has unwittingly been Harvey's best fiend. His presence has scared NE Jackson whites and affluent blacks into supporting Harvey and prevented their support for someone like Lee.

In any event, we are all better off than when Melton was here. I guess it's all relative.

Lee has very little charisma. Ugh, can he win?

I won't take the bait, but it is clear 9:43 has not yet met Lee.

Looks like ole Harvey was a little fired up in his opening remarks about his experience. Some one must have struck a nerve. What Harvey has failed to realize is that no matter what you do to "imporve" the city if people are afraid to live and and shop there the city will not climb out of the despirate situation it's in. While Bright is hardley mayor material, he is right about the ENTIRE command staff and the practice of law enforcement at JPD. It needs a total revamp.

Harvey is a little fired up in explaining his experience. Some one hit a nerve, I guess. The question on Harvey is " Is the City of Jackson better off after either of your administration?"

Anonymous said...

Bright is not even hardley mayor material but he is right that the ENTIRE command staff at JPD should be replaced. The management style is the worst and morale is non existant because of it.

When Chockwe talks about giving contracts to "Jackson businesses" it sounds like give contracts to black folks. Chronyizm at its best

Is it just me or are ther only 3 real candidates here, Quinn, Lee and Harvey. They are the only ones with any idea of where to even start. All the others are making a spectical of themselves.

Anonymous said...

Which one was Charlotte Reeves?

I think Lee and Quinn will split votes not to make the Run-off leading the way for Election Time Harvey to coast to victory. But Bright knows that JPD is worse off since Coleman stepped in the staff she surrounded herself with are buffoons. Lee is the clear choice in MY OPINION out of this field. Some blacks will resent him though because they think he is a Republican running as a Democrat. But I say to that the Liberalism is why criminals are set free so quickly for their crimes.

Lee is the candidate of the downtown robber barons. No thanks.

Can you cite what exactly is the problem with the command staff at JPD? Non-partial observer here; but I don't see the media as focused (for once) on the Chief as we did with Moore and the perception comment, and all the other antics of the other Chiefs. In fact, what we have seen is several bad apples in JPD get busted. How many chiefs did Ditto go through? Eight I believe. And like the choices or not Harvey has only had two chiefs since his last term and this one - Moore and Coleman. Not saying JPD is perfect; but for once there is a bit of stability at the top when you don't count Melton's fiasco.

Yikes....you sound like you are from the Free Nation of Chockwe. Ugh.

Kingfish said...

Yeah, they've robbed it so well everyone outside of Hinds laughs at them for staying, they are begging to fill the empty buildings no matter how low the rents are, and county line road continues to collapse. Yeah.

Anonymous said...

I'm with Kingfish that comment was just foolery how is downtown robbing anyone.

Anonymous said...

I would totally vote for Lee if he is a Republican posing as a Democrat. The charisma is lacking but compared to the others.... Was hoping had more of a presence. But he will do.

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.

Trollfest '07

Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.
