Hood Unhinged Is Nothing New, Apparently

So Jim Hood didn't totally lose it, apparently, he didn't even have it. His slur against Entergy Mississippi, that they operate like the "mafia" is not the first time he has been reckless and irresponsible with statements from his office. He said insurance companies were like "robber barons" and compared State Farm to a "cult" and called their practices "decadent" drawing these comments:

"Frankly, it just seems like he came unhinged. His rhetoric is divorced from reality," said Rossmiller, managing editor of the Insurance Coverage Law Blog and a former reporter at the now-defunct Phoenix Gazette. "You don't have to be a fan of State Farm to feel the way he is talking here is completely inappropriate. The tone of his rhetoric with his apparent inability to connect with any facts, you have to wonder if this was anything more than grandstanding," Rossmiller said. "It was an amazing, amazing display."

So for all those companies out there that Jim Hood targets remember, if you stand up for yourself, just imagine the worst thing someone could say about you, and expect him to say something worse. His failure to conduct his office with proper respect should outrage good government advocates and anyone working to better the economy and bring jobs to Mississippi.
