The bad news about the Thad Cochran / Chris McDaniel senate race in Mississippi is that one of them is going to win.

The good news is that the election isn’t until June 24th so we get some more free entertainment until then.

First, Cochran told the worst kept secret in Mississippi.

“It was fun, it was an adventure to be out there in the country and to see what goes on,” he said of his boyhood visits to Hattiesburg. “Picking up pecans, from that to all kinds of indecent things with animals.”

The audience chuckled.

“And I know some of you know what that is,” Cochran said.

Mississippi:  where men are men, girls are girls, and sheep are scared.

Well, I imagine that he’s going to be met with lots of “baaaaa” sounds in the halls of congress now, so he went on the attack.  Cochran is making sure that his opponent, McDaniel, a radio talk show host, has some ‘splainin’ to do to the Steeple People.

I can almost promise you that this ain’t the end of the dirty talk.  It ain’t considered a good Republican race in Mississippi unless everybody is feeling a little frisky by election day.
