Happy Ronnie Musgrove Day

Bolivarian Responds

No Fact Check at AP?

On July 16, the Associated Press moved this story (linked here to yesterday's Clarion Ledger) which reported:

Democrat Ronnie Musgrove has filed a complaint with the Federal Elections Commission accusing U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker of accepting illegal campaign contributions...Musgrove filed his complaint Wednesday.

On July 18, the Associated Press moved this story which reports:

The Federal Elections Commission says it has not yet seen a complaint filed by Democrat Ronnie Musgrove's campaign against U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker.

I wonder, can you file a complaint without the person you're filing with know it? Did the AP report this based on a Musgrove Campaign press release? Where is the fact check?

Truth about Ronnie Musgrove's Bogus Ad

More people should see this. It is well done, and most importantly, accurate. Musgrove's claim vs. truth in 2003.

Kitchens caught with oil on his hands

Jim Kitchens is running for Supreme Court. On July 10, Kitchens' campaign blogged against his opponent (Jim Smith) for taking money from "Big-time oil and energy executives".

In a time of $4-per-gallon of gas, perhaps Smith’s financial backers should think more about finding ways to cut the cost of gasoline for the consumer than backing a Supreme Court justice who has, for more than a couple of these donors, ruled on their behalf.

Also on July 10, Kitchens' campaign reported a contribution from

Carl Bozeman
$500
May 30, 2008
Owner, Bozeman Chevron Service Station, Inc.
Hazlehurst, Mississippi

Now there is nothing wrong with Kitchens getting a contribution from someone in the oil business, but his hypocrisy stinks like bad gas.
