Shouldn’t the site be called DeadBart, then?

It’s not all that uncommon for someone facing jail to take his own life.
Mayfield must have known what was ahead—he was a lawyer, after all—and been unable to face it for reason we can only guess.
One wonders how this will affect the case against the others.

If Mayfield and McDaniel had been Democrats, the right wing smear machine would already be calling for an investigation a la Vince Foster.

They killed my post when I suggested the site should be renaned to ‘MyTickerBlewMetoOblivion.com’
They accused me of being cruel, which I was, but then I pointed out that I was giving them the same level of sympathy Andrew gave Sen Ted Kennedy’s family when HE died.

I give it another week before the Justice Dept. steps in.

Don’t worry. Any minute now Rush or one of the
secondary wingnuts will somehow claim the president
is involved in the poor man’s suicide.

These extremists take this stuff too far. RIP.

While this is the sad, it is surely the culmination of a lot of shitty behavior and not some impulsive act.
As I responded to another post up thread, I give it a week before the Justice Dept. step in. The state is rotten to the core and clearly unable to police itself any longer.

This is simply awful news and my sympathy is for this poor man and his family. Whether you agree with his politics or his actions, and I very much agree with neither, a man is dead in the prime of his life for one stupid, and relatively minor, error in judgement and his family are going to carry the guilt and sadness about second guessing what they could have done to prevent their loved one from making this rash and final choice. I take no joy whatsoever in this and everyone who does take joy in it should be ashamed of themselves.

Well, that’s one less corrupt Republican that has to be dealt with.
Was he back at the courthouse looking at the ballots for irregularities?
Two words: Vince Foster
Guess he had more faith in the law in MS than I do.
Three words: Obama Time Machine.
Four words: Thad, borrow my keys
Five words: Eighty Eight Miles Per Hour.

WTF? Plunkett of the McDaniel campaign is blaming “so called Republican leaders” (read Cochran and the Republican “establishment”)? How fucking sleazy.

Teabagger lawyer commits suicide. Finally - some good news coming off the wire today.
Presumably he voted for McDaniel in the primary.
Now he’s dead. Will he get a posthumous charge for voter fraud?

“…To all “so called” Republican leaders who joined lockstep: I WILL NOT REST!” Keith Plunkett on Twitter.
Thanks, Keith. The next time some GOOPer accuses Dhimmicrats of marching in lockstep, I’ll throw these bon mots in his or her face.
Then she or he will say, “whaa?”
Then, I’ll have to give the poor shlub lessons in logic, political science, logic & grammar.
Which he or she will wave off with their poo hand “you’ve got your facts, and I’ve got mine.”

How in the world did the word “apparent” get omitted from the headline? Have you guys forgotten where this story is and what it’s about?

They say that suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Too bad that Mayfield didn’t love his family more than he loathed himself. RIP.
