The Lone Libertarian

From WMC TV (link) Memphis City Councilwoman Janis Fullilove in :

“I listened to the person on your station, Janice Broach, and I’m gonna tell Janice Broach my grandmother always told me, ‘You dig one hole, you better dig two.’ And Janice, you better watch out. You’re hole comin’ baby.”

How professional. I guess Memphis Mayor Willie Herenton gave her a few lessons on how to deal with reporters that just report the facts, unaltered, about publicly elected officials.

The “inflammatory” report by Janice Broach, as well as video, can be found here.

Fullilove’s car T-boned the vehicle of Yolanda McWherter at a Highway 61 intersection in Tunica County on Friday, May 2nd. Seven-year-old Mikayla Gill, McWherter’s daughter, sustained injuries to her liver and spleen.

The fact that she is claiming that she is going to “seek therapy for a medical problem” in the wake of this crash makes one wonder if something happened under the table in order for the Mississippi Highway Patrol to not charge her with anything.

Lets not forget that Fullilove did plead guilty to drunken driving in 1999, before she entered public life, while working as a radio personality at WMC 790 AM.

Let’s also not forget that she was pulled over in March of this year in Mississippi on I-69, and booked for DUI due to refusing a field sobriety test and careless driving. That case is still pending.

Something smells fishy here. The admission to a friend that she had two glasses of wine that evening before driving home is pretty damning.

There’s never a dull day in Memphis, that’s for sure.
