A second candidate for Mississippi governor says he won't meet alone with women

A second gubernatorial candidate in Mississippi has stated he will not be alone with a woman who is not his wife, arguing that “appearances are important.”

Former state Supreme Court chief justice Bill Waller Jr. told Mississippi Today, “I just think it’s common sense.”

“I just think in this day and time, appearances are important and transparency’s important, and people need to have the comfort of what’s going on in government between employees and people,” Waller told the publication Monday.

Waller is one of three Republicans running in the Aug. 6 primary to succeed term-limited Gov. Phil Bryant (R). Eight Democrats are also running.

"Them thar' women have cooties" according to Waller.

I can see this as a wrap around way for the war on women by the right.

Verrrrrry dangerous, those things. They can get a fine upright Christian man in big trouble even by innocently standing near them.

Over their weiners? Really? Good grief. It's called emotional maturity and respect. Not really that difficult.
