McDaniel wants rematch

The Chris McDaniel campaign issued the following press release:


Chris McDaniel's lead attorney Mitch Tyner released a statement in response to today's Supreme Court ruling on the campaign's Emergency Petition for Writ of Mandamus filed Monday of this week.

"Today's decision was not made by the entire Supreme Court, so our legal team will request that ​the entire Supreme Court panel rehear our petition for the original election records to be released to the McDaniel campaign," Tyner opined. "Justices Randolph, Kitchens, and Chandler all requested that both parties appear personally before the Court to clear up any confusion on the issues at hand, so we will ask for that opportunity. In addition to asking for our case to be heard by the entire Court, we will also ask for the opportunity to present oral arguments. The integrity of every future statewide and district wide election hinges on this decision," he concluded.

Tyner reiterated that this process is much bigger than this single U.S. Senate race or the McDaniel campaign. “Election integrity must be assured not only for this election, but also for future elections in Mississippi”..

McDaniel also commented on the opinion, saying, "A candidate for office in Mississippi should not have to raise $100,000 to verify an election was carried out legally in every single one of Mississippi's eighty-two counties. We are confident the full panel of Justices will do the right thing, and we remain undeterred in our efforts to gain access to the election records in the counties where we have not been granted access to records thus far."

If the Cat, the Rat and Watson their dog, force everyone and their lawyers present for a rehearing before the full Court, following another full round of briefing, maybe the inevitable Rule 11 sanctions will quadruple. Careful what you ask for.

Isn't it too late? If I'm not mistaken, oral arguments should have been requested at the outset.

There is an old Yiddish word that describes Chris McDaniel to a T. Schmuck.

I am worried about the grand wizard's mental health. It would seem the Court agreed with the Clerks response where "If Petitioner can spend millions of dollars on TV advertising, Robo calling etc., he can spend less than a $1,000.00 to prevent the taxpayers from paying for him." Ouch. Watson and Tyner are punch drunk on the kool aid. I thought more of Tyner. Why these young men would kill any chance of political life over this election is crazy. There's nothing to gain.

You don't have to follow all that McDaniel is doing too closely to realize he is looking more and more foolish. I'm beginning to think he needs some professional help, and I am not talking about more legal help either. You would think a close friend or relative would have already looked him in the eye and told him enough is enough. Hopefully someone will soon.

Here's the statement today of a man who has Mississippi's best interests at heart, Delbert Hosemann:

“Filing lawsuits against Circuit Clerks who are clearly following the law are both a waste of time and taxpayer money. Voters have a right to have their personal information protected. It is time to address the real issues of this election and move on as a State.”

You MSGOP name callers just keep on with your howling and name calling. You are doing nothing except burying the chance of having a viable Republican party in Mississippi. It is a shame that you can't hold your fear of the Cochran campaign being exposed for wrong doing, if there was any wrong doing, for the time that it will take the court to decide if there is. By your name calling attacks on anyone who dares to disagree with you, the chance of losing a Republican seat in the senate is pretty much guaranteed.There are times when it is much better to remain silent and have the world think you are a fool than to open your mouth and confirm the fact!

They keep proving why people HATE THE TEA PARTY. They have lost their minds in delusion and can't begin to see it. They surround themselves with other Kool-Aid country groupies that don't and never will "get it".

Is it unethical for Tyner to keep billing McDaniel by the hour without first suggesting that McDaniel undergo a psych exam? I think there is an argument that McDaniel is proceeding under duress caused by his ego.

*if anyone says that Tyner is doing this pro bono I will throw up.

Well, I'm done with Delbert. "Circuit clerks are following the law"... which ones? The ones where you can view the ballot boxes and all its contents, the ones where you can only view the poll books, the ones where you can only view the rep books, the ones where you can view the Dem poll book and the rep poll book, but not at the same time or the clerks where you can't view anything at all? Delbert may be good at making commercials but his true colors are shining through. Beyond the commercials his big claim to fame is an uncontested roll out of voter ID...great job Delbert, I'm sure it didn't have anything to do with the opponents losing a dozen lawsuits in the other 30 states that have voter ID...way to make it happen

McDaniel reminds me of a song from 30 to 40 years ago about

Poor Chris, with Israel invading the Gaza strip, the Ukraine tradegdy, and the border crisis, Sean Hannity an the rest of the national media don't have time for him anymore. Not to mention the local media. WLBT and WAPT pushed back their coverage of McDaniel's challenge and the Supreme Court's order to about 15 minutes into the show. From top story to right before Burt Case's watermelon review, ouch.

The key that everyone seems to be missing in this entire McDaniel episode is Melanie Sojourner.
She is the campaign manager but:
Where is she?
What is she doing for Chris?
Why does Chris or others not Mention her name?
Is the press trying to contact her?
She disappeared shortly after the nursing home incident and sometime after wrote that she would never vote for Thad.
Other than that She is totally dropped from the radar.
Does anyone have a clue what has happened to her?

With all of the lawyers McDaniel has working on the case the McDaniel campaign's statement makes no sense. Specifically, "the decision was not made by the entire Supreme Court, so our legal team will request that ​the entire Supreme Court panel rehear our petition for the original election records to be released to the McDaniel campaign". The first sentence of the Supreme Court's order provides that the Court was en banc not in a 3 judge. 2 recused themselves.

7:07, I certainly know what the original Yiddish translation was. I was primarily referring to the American English translation "Schmuck or shmuck in American English is a pejorative meaning one who is stupid or foolish; or an obnoxious, contemptible or detestable person. The word entered English from Yiddish (‏שמאָק, shmok), where it has similar pejorative meanings, but its original meaning in Yiddish is penis

I think that the local media is growing tired of McDaniel, or they are pissed that he duped them into giving his press conference so much coverage and then not showing up. I watched WLBT/FOX at 9 and 10, and unless they had something in the first 10 seconds, I don't think they mentioned McDaniel. I may be wrong but if they covered it, it was quick. WAPT did cover it but it was lierally 15 seconds. Good for them

McDaniel wants a rematch? For what, to get KO'ed in the first 91 seconds and laughed out of the arena (See Mike Tyson-Michael Spinks for a preview of McDaniel's last gasp to be relevant. He hasn't earned anything more than a pronto pup for the road and directions out of town.


As much as I'd like to see this ignorant Soon-to-be Televangelist/Right Wing Radio Show Schlepper gobsmacked, he doesn't deserve to suck anymore cash out of his low-info fans' pockets while tooling around & grifting on the State's (and MY!) dime. Do your job and legislate or go back to Ellisfunkville and lick your wounds among your own cowardly, traitorous klantard kinfolk. You've worn out your welcome in our polite society.

I do hope his piss-poor legal team are each rewarded with some nice meaningful sanctions for this frivolous weak-tea legal-maneuvering, as they are supposedly bound to ethics as officers of the court. Honestly, I don't give a shit how they do it in Texas, if True the Vote is the best they got over there. But Watson, et al should know not to take a crap on the trail. I wouldn't follow those TeaTard idiots down the block to get free beer & complimentary lapdances from Playboy bunnies dipped in chocolate with little sprinkles on their hootie-hoos & crushed Snickers on their hoo-hahs.

You baggers are acting like this is the biggest election in your pitiful lives and your last chance for romance---ever. Suck it up, pack your bag, and head back to single-A ball, cuz none of you are ready for the show. Try to grow a pair before you waste our time with your crying and complaining. You are the problem that is causing you to fail. Face it and fix it or Eff off!

The real irony?

As plaintiffs attorneys, Mitch Tyner and Chris McDaniel have made every dime they have off the black juror. Venue for plaintiffs cases in Jefferson, Jones, Claiborne, Hinds, etc is vital for $$$ for plaintiffs.

McDaniels outside money for this race was used to rile up the civil war anti black segment of the state. These people hate plaintiffs lawyers!

When this is over I hope every black person in this state remembers McDaniel and Tyner and if called upon to be a juror....I hope they refuse to give one dime to any McDaniel or Tyner client.

So, I take it from the previous story "McDaniel Campaign Announces the Truth & Justice Tour," that the first "tour stop" took place yesterday in Olive Branch. Does anyone know whether anyone, including McDaniel, showed up. The local news stations, who are apparently as tired of McDaniel as everyone else, did not even mention the event. I am curious whether the captain of the crazy train showed up to the event.

McDaniel should have his next meeting at Georgia Blue. Bring a big cake.

McDaniel was quoted in the paper stating that he did not want this to be tried in public or social media, but takes every opportunity to be in front of a live video camera or microphone, except his own press conference to espouse his loss in the run-off election. Oxymoron or oxymoron without the first three letters?

The question has been asked before why Senator McD waits until he loses an election to try to change or challenge election laws when he could have had more influence when he chaired the senate elections committee.

Here's a thought. Tyner is jumping head first into this melee with the press conference held in front of his office with his name prominently displayed in front of the camera. Free publicity. Mitch going to run for governor again?

The integrity of every future statewide and district wide election hinges on this decision,"

If the McDaniel group is truly concerned about future elections, their man is in the most appropriate post - Chairman of the Senate Elections Committee. Proposer legislation, tightly written, should improve elections procedure and reduce teh probability of uncertain, contested results.

Yes, McDaniel's Olive Branch event was a great success until the Delta Tau Chi batmobile rolled in with Bluto, D-Day, Otter, Dorfman, Stork, and Hoover ramming the stage with McDaniel, I mean Neidermeyer snarling at the crowd, fists pumping that he couldn't belive Otis Day and the Knights would cross the line and vote for Cochran. Melanie had a hard time keeping her Toga intact and blamed Eric Stratton. Cochran's new campaign slogan is "May I dance with Yo Date?"

McDaniel has filed his formal request for a rematch, accessible on the SCT website. Apparently, "poll books" are not really "poll books" as he has been calling them all along...they are now really "tally lists" as a means to suit his ends, among other basically frivolous arguments. Also, an amusing email exchange between one of McDaniel's lawyers and the Rankin County Clerk's lawyer is an exhibit to the motion - wherein the McDaniel lawyer admits they don't really need to see voters' birthdays to determine crossover voting after all.

Schmuck is actually the removed foreskin. Not sure that assessment fits either candidate but it seems apt for some of the spokespersons and more than half of the commenters.

And back to Digbart's grammar: Filing lawsuits is the subject of the sentence. A substitute for the subject, in this case, is the word 'it'. 'It' is singular and requires a singular verb, is. 'It' does not go with are. Except in Yazoo City where it are perfectly fine.

Anonymous said...

"Schmuck is actually the removed foreskin."

Among other things, actually. The word has variable meanings, depending upon context and upon which sub-dialect of Yiddish is being used.

In Popular American Yiddish the word generally either refers to a man's - um - 'unit', or is applied to a foolish, contemptible, obnoxious person.

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.
