A slightly dated article, which may nonetheless be of interest. Though from a famously left-center source, it's not writen entirely without compassion.

I wasted a couple of minutes of my life reading the article and
I never did find out if the kid got the lawn-cutting job or not.

Mary??? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?

To Mary, Cochran was a classic Republican in name only. First elected to the Senate in 1978 and sometimes referred to as the “king of pork,” Cochran was known as an able deliverer of federal funding to his impoverished state.

Sounds like Mary is on solid ground here

Those NY’rs sure do hate the right, don’t they?

Thanks for posting it, I thought it was a fair article. Of course it’s R on R crime, so no skin off their noses to be fair.

They shouldn’t have invaded that woman’s privacy that way, I can’t agree with that. But I think the reaction was a little over the top.

And Thad Cochran is a complete bum.

Does NY Mag even know where Mississippi is on the map?
Clue: “It is not a suburb of Queens”

I am not going to read the article.
All I am here to say is,

Mississippi ping

Thanks for sharing this. Exposes the rotten belly of the Mississippi Republican Party, a party in a state that once had honorable men like John C. Stennis and G.V. Montgomery. Now the seat of repugnicans who would sell the hard working men of Mississippi for next to nothing while helping the open immigration aims of the democrat pary and the chamber of commerce.

"First elected to the Senate in 1978 and sometimes referred to as the “king of pork,” Cochran was known as an able deliverer of federal funding..."

The worst kind, bought and paid for. The most influential constituents of such politicians are the reason for the fall of the Republican Party.

The only candidate who has a real record of cutting much spending in his state against great odds is Scott Walker. He's most likely the only candidate with an true intent to cut much big government spending. Any of the other favorites would take us quickly to collapse and repudiations of debts (see Greece, Argentine, much worse here). Without the big spending, there wouldn't be any enforcement of big regulations against new business competition on American soil

Read the title, read the first three paragraphs and protect your liberal sensibilities. (All nonsense.). Bury the lead.

Well done NY Magazine.
