Mississippi state Sen. Chris McDaniel (R) canceled a meeting with the Clarion-Ledger editorial board of Jackson, Mississippi on Monday within an hour of the paper’s announcement that they would be posting live updates about the meeting.
The Clarion-Ledger tweeted that McDaniel canceled the meeting on Monday. Sam Hall, an editor for the Clarion-Ledger, tweeted that McDaniel’s campaign canceled the meeting because of a “scheduling snafu.”

Noel said @senatormcdaniel has an event in Meridian at 4 p.m. He hung up before I could find out where. Asking so we can cover it.

Over the weekend the Clarion-Ledger broke the news that a pro-McDaniel blogger had been arrested for allegedly breaking into the nursing home of Rose Cochran, the wife of Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS), who McDaniel is challenging in the Republican primary. Since then McDaniel’s campaign has given conflicting statements about how much knowledge they had about the blogger, Clayton Kelly, and his arrest.
SNAFU…is the Tea Candidate norm.
This is so screwed up I keep thinking that Kelly must have been paid by Cochran to do this. Going after people’s family members is always dicey, but this is so beyond the beyond it’s hard to fathom the level of stupidity necessary to think think this could ever be a good idea.
The definition of SNAFU is : Teabaggers trying to get stuff done.
Wow.
SOMEBODY got all butt-hurt, didn’t they?
