Jesus...
http://cottonmouthblog.blogspot.in/2015/10/rep-bubba-carpenter-r-burnsville-caught.html
In the video Carpenter is repeating the now typical (ridiculous) argument from opponents of Initiative 42, suggesting a Hinds County judge would be able to control funds from all sorts of school districts at his liking. (You can watch the entire Republican rally here.)
Except Bubba went off script a bit. Instead of using the dog-whistle "liberal," Carpenter said what they always meant.
Bubba told a group of constituents that a black judge would be making the decision. And he meant it as a cuss word. (This has the extra benefit of not even being true, as the Hinds County Chancery Court bench is evenly split, with two black female judges and two white male judges.)
And not only that, Carpenter assured the room that Governor Bryant, Secretary Hosemann, and fellow Representative Donnie Bell would be visiting later to "tell you the same thing."

He really does look like a "good old boy" from Mississippi. Wanna bet he has a closet full of sheets and hoods for those "special events?"
