Kesting denies visiting voodoo priestess (Cobb Cnty. GA)
Atlanta Journal-Constitution ^ | October 6, 2008 | KENT A. MILES / KAY POWELL

George Ann Mills, a practitioner of voodoo, simply wanted to be paid for her services.

The Blythewood, S.C., “priestess” said she was approached in late August by Cobb County Commissioner Annette Kesting. Kesting was seeking otherworldly help, Mills said, against Democrat Woody Thompson, who defeated Kesting in the primary runoff vote for the District 4 seat representing southwest Cobb.

Mills has accused Kesting, a first-term commissioner, of writing $3,000 in bounced checks for her services.

Kesting on Tuesday denied ever meeting Mills.

“I have no idea who Ms. Mills is,” Kesting said. “My car won’t let me get to South Carolina. I know nobody in South Carolina.”

Mills said when Kesting visited her, she held up a photo of a man she said was Thompson.

“She said, ‘Do you see cancer in him?’ I said he looks like a very healthy man,” Mills said. “She said, ‘Is there anything you can do about this … give him cancer, or make him have an accident or something?’ “

Mills said she refused, saying she didn’t want Thompson’s blood on her hands. She offered to “make trouble for him, to make people see who he really is.”

Instead of performing a ritual for Thompson, Mills said she sacrificed a chicken and three roosters to provide protection for Kesting and her son, who Kesting said was adrift.

In return for her services, she says Kesting wrote two checks totaling $3,000, which were returned for insufficient funds. Kesting then sent two $1,000 money orders in payment. Mills produced a copy of a MoneyGram receipt, dated Aug. 28. The receipt, faxed to the AJC, listed Kesting’s husband, Christian, as the sender.

Damn. First we Atlantans get Cynthia McKinney, and now THIS story. It’s getting harder and harder to defend ourselves as anything other than dumb backwoods idiots.

I know...and Cobb is supposed to be the more sane county in the metro area.

This kind of stuff used to be relegated to Dekalb...it’s more Vernon Jones style.

Is that not one of the most ridiculous statements ever uttered? Maybe the car shuts off when it gets to the state line.:)

Annette Kesting being attacked unfairly like Barack Obama is just because he wants to make changes.

And you'll get a different pronuonication for every one of them (well at least north and south).

I about chucked a shoe at the TV for the pronouncation of Dekalb from some actor who kept saying it wrong for GA.. Then again it was "The West Wing."
