Just to be clear, I’m not agreeing that Barbour IS “Boss Hogg”, only that the NYSlimes writer has set up a template painting Barbour AS “Boss Hogg”.

And I think the original FReeper you replied to (too lazy to look back) is probably roughly in the same boat.

The NYSlimes template was my point.

Gotta say, that regardless of how good a governor Barbour has been we in Alabama still say "Thank God for Mississippi" :)

I have no problem with Barbour’s executive skills or judgement. In fact, the last time the GOP was relevant and successful, Barbour was Chairman of the GOP.
