I’ll bite, is his problem the big ugly purple dress he’s wearing?

That, and that he is wearing no pants under it

Glenn McConnell would make a great governor after the idiots we’ve had since 2003…and, I don’t even like him. And, am a Democrat.

From a purely pragmatic point of view, there is no one who understands more about SC, SC government and how to get things done in SC.
After the past 10 years of self serving, self promoting, dimwitted ideologues, it would be a weight off all our shoulders, a breath of fresh air to have a competent, non-Frank Luntz talking point spouting governor.

Is Jenny Sanford still interested in the presidency of College of Charleston?

Jenny Sanford? Mitch McConnell? College Presidential candidates? You’ve got to be kidding. We need professionals running our schools of higher education. Folks who have experience at running schools. Period. These jobs are tough. Our educational system is suffering enough. We have enough rookies running some of our cabinet positions. Let’s hope the Trustees of the C of C take their job seriously. They hold the school “in trust” for the state. Not for its politicians.

Fred Carter, formerly of the Budget and Control Board, seems to have done a great job at Francis Marion.
However, his serious consideration of the Mt. Pleasant invitation to have a satellite 100+ miles from Florence is…weird.

Fred Carter is just another Florence County Hugh Leatherman Crook. He is far enough away from Columbia no one notices but believe me Francis Marion is just another profitable family business for Hugh Leatherman.

At McConnell’s special request, his Lt. Governor budget for FY 2013-14 includes four SLED agents for 24-7-365 “personal security,” costing us taxpayers over $400,000 annually.
.
See http://www.scstatehouse.gov/sess120_2013-2014/appropriations2013/tas94.htm
.
The $400,000 expenditure was quietly pushed through the Senate Finance Committee by his friend, Sen. Hugh Leatherman, and it was passed with no debate whatsoever.
.
This is because McConnell, in addition to being a reckless spendthrift is also a paranoiac.
.
Has McConnell told the College of Charleston board yet that he expects them to continue funding his “personal security”?
.
And will his Lt. Governor opponent also insist on a $400,000 annual “personal security” detail?

Good lord…if I had to answer to you freaks on this site, I’d be paranoid too.

Someone really needs to look at his security detail. Part time position, just what does his security detail do when McConnell is on the lake? Whose towing his ski boat?

There is no line item for “personal security,” in the document you linked to. Which line item are you referring to?

Reply
Centrist View October 15, 2013 at 10:35 pm

….and the dollar amount of that line item?

What did the four SLED agents look like?

Glenn’s already got a bumper sticker on his old blue Mercedez that says McConnell for Lieut. Governor — blue letters on yellow background. He should leave the CofC alone and TRY to stay where he is, run for re-election. He’ll be the only fag on the ticket and might get his ass whipped. Then again, if the CofC appoints him president, he’ll be the first CofC fag president.

I don’t think he’s a full on fag. He’s probably just a little bisexual.

Make him president of the Citadel. His costume-party antics in a general officer’s uniform and his big-bath-tub playing with an antiquated military vessel would fit right in. Give the Citadel the Hunley too.
.
Let C of C have the present Citadel president. Problem solved.

Agreed. He’d be in heaven surrounded by so many young men.

Why do politicians ( or their ex-wives ) think they are qualified to run a university?

Marsha October 16, 2013 at 9:03 am

How soon you forget! Both Harry Lightsey and Judge Sanders were politicians prior to being made president of the CofC. Both did good jobs. McConnell has the very same qualifications and would probably do a good job.

Yes. I did forget and the Lt Gov probably would do a fine job, but was referring more to the latter and the aviation authority fiasco. I stand corrected!
