Mississippi Democrats criticize Haley Barbour for going to Iowa and New Hampshire instead of working on the budget. First, he is not the Democrat controlled legislature which has failed to produce a budget. They are blaming Haley for not doing their own job. Second, where was this outrage when their budget conferee and CHAIRMAN of Medicaid, Dirk Dedeaux, skipped budget meetings to go to DISNEY WORLD?
The Mississippi Democrats also salute Brandon Presley for his recent appointment to this national board. Shocking, but Y'all Politics is reporting that Presley and the Public Service Commission recently retained that organization under contract. I guess the Democrats really ought to congratulate him, he is learning the Democratic methods early and well.

Funny how the focus of the Governor's out-of-state travel is Iowa and NH...but no one seems to mind that he's going to NYC as part of the annual MS Picnic in the Park event (a tradition for MS governors).
If the Democrats' argument is one based on absence - then it shouldn't matter if he's participating in a fundraiser or promoting the state's economic development in NY; either way, these engagements require him to be out of state and should be opposed, according to the baseline argument. Right?
Just thinking aloud here...
I don't mind if he's out of state, since the Leg - both Reps and Dems - can't seem to get the job done. I mean, if a deal gets done, they can contact the Governor who will, I'm sure, promptly return.
Or, to put it in Haley's words - "we're blessed to have things such as cell phones and email" these days.
True dat.
