South Carolina Gone Wild!

More Too-Hot-for-the-GOP talk out of South Carolina, where people have taken to yelling out, "You lie!" during wedding vows:
Will Folks, South Carolina's top political blogger, is claiming this morning that he had an "inappropriate relationship" several years ago with gubernatorial candidate Nikki Haley.
Haley, a Statehouse representative, recently climbed into the lead in the GOP primary. Folks makes clear that this alleged relationship was prior to his own marriage, but he seems to suggest that it was an indiscretion on the part of Haley, who has been married for 14 years and has two children.
Will Folks?
Well, some will! (Allegedly, allegedly, allegedly.)
As an added bonus, Nikki Haley (which is actually my stripper name, by the way) was endorsed by none other than former SC First Lady Jenny Sanford, who's no doubt wondering why this keeps happening to her. Oh, and yes, she recently flew another sterling character witness into the state (first class, doubtless) to give her the thumbs up: Ms. StArBuRsT herself, Sarah Palin. And of course, this wouldn't be sufficiently hilarious had not the local teabaggers also done the same. Presumably, they are unaware of the otherwise interesting and inspiring (if you like America) fact that Haley is the daughter of a Punjabi Sikh immigrant. But she's (allegedly, allegedly, allegedly) assimilating into South Carolina Republican culture rather successfully. Good for her! Though it must be noted she denies the claims, which is a little unorthodox.
So what do we think is going to be the catch phrase that stays with us from this latest Romp-publican sex blow-up? Appalachian Trail? Wide stance? Measure it for me? I thought he was robbing me? The country eagerly awaits! |
