First up today: any enthusiastic praise for - and any necessary debunking of - the speech by Gov. Haley Barbour (as introduced by SoRelle), as well as other speakers at Mock Con. I didn't see the whole event, but had a few "pardon me" moments that generally come when I listen to active politicians... and pundits.
See also the post by Stephen Wilson. Speaking with Briegel, I know several of you have reactions to the speeches that are IPE-relevant. The reactions may be more or less evenly split between WTFs and woots.
Points for the first person who thinks the title of this post is funny and can explain why.

Re: Title
Barbour's (ab)use of his ability to pardon as Governor has raised questions of ethics. Barbour issued 193 unconditional pardons, many to inmates found guilty of violent crimes and domestic violence.
It's more than questionable to me and now they're headed to the Mississippi Supreme Court.
