IT’S A THIN LINE … BETWEEN LOVE AND HATE
S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley has a love-hate relationship with lots of people … and apparently entire states, too.
Take Georgia, which bore the brunt of Haley’s wrath in the wake of last week’s big (or not-so-big) winter storm …
Haley came into office talking all sorts of trash about Georgia, although the receipt of a few campaign contributions (and a national speaking gig) prompted her to change her tune … resulting in perhaps the single greatest economic sellout any governor of any state has ever perpetrated on his or her own people.
Haley’s advocacy on Georgia’s behalf cleared the way for a taxpayer-funded expansion of the government-run port in Savannah – while effectively killing a public-private port in Jasper County, S.C.
Yeah … which state is she leading again?
Anyway, having gift-wrapped a major competitive advantage for our neighbors across the river, Haley is once again in trash talk mode – criticizing the state for its response to the underwhelming winter storm.
“While I was trying to fix South Carolina, I was furious at Georgia for not taking care of that,” Haley told the Historic Rotary Club of Charleston, S.C.
Haley added that she was proud of her cabinet’s response to the storm … which is curious in light of the serious traffic problems experienced in Charleston during the aftermath of the storm (oh, and the fact that Haley’s Transportation chief was busted during the debacle drinking and driving at eight o’clock in the morning).
According to the governor, though, things went swimmingly …
“When you go through a storm, whether it’s a hurricane or winter storm, our team stands ready,” Haley said. “I am very proud of team South Carolina and the way they handled the storm.”
Hmmmmm …
We beg to differ …

Is it just me, or is she starting to show the effects of stress?
When you don’t care about anyone but yourself, there is no stress. Just look at Obama…after all the damage he’s done. He does not give a $#!* who suffers. He’s happy to drink the champs, and snort the lines…as long as we pay for it…
I can’t even begin to imagine the stress *you* must be under – you care so *much* for everyone.
Sarcasm…I pray? She doesn’t give a rats A$$ about anyone, but herself. Cheating on her family, lying about her children, lying for sympathy, self aggrandizement, lying and cheating the taxpayer and SC voters, betraying S C for fundraisers out of State?
Someone needs to think about Damned Tango for a change.
Hmmm – that’s a good idea. Perhaps we should think about a day where we can say nice things about the GrandTurnip. Any ideas, anyone?
Today (Feb 6) is officialy “Lame Duck Day”
Not just say nice things, but genuinely try to help. Suggest an Effexor regimen, a hobby, maybe even volunteer time to engage in reality-based activities.
‘engage in reality-based activities.’
Doesn’t posting on Fitsnews qualify ..?
Let me see… [papers rustling] … [flipping sound]… [straightening out sound]… ah.. here we are.. reality-based activities in alphabetical order…[mumbles].. fishing…fisting..poking..posing…hmm…
nope.. posting is not a reality-based activity… at least it’s not listed here, anyway.
You just made my day – nothing else posted today will top that..!!
That’s the best comment of the week — it made my day!
Bush is my HERO !
Actually, just glancing at the photo without attempting any kind of evaluation (which is difficult, by the way) this looks like a “you all can just go fuck yourselves” smile.
I’m the gov, top o’ the heap. Suck on this mofo.
Let them eat cake.
First she would have be cognizant of the problems to develop any stress.
Well, they need to take a shot from further away, then.
Yeah, like from Tennessee
Canada!
My dear Lord, please take down that picture. It’s scaring the children..
Agree. That may be worst pic of her.
Yeah. Talk about aging badly!!
Always look at the the mother, then you will understand.
Put a wart on her chin, with that nose, she could stand in for the “Wicked Witch” in Wizard of Oz.
NIKKI HALEY ONLY CARES ABOUT NIKKI HALEY!
Just like her sister.
Y’all elected a half assed bookkeeper Governor who gets her marching orders out of Maryland. What do you expect.
Ditto, my friend, I expected – saw the future, with a Haley win. Continue as Grand Tango would do, and watch the money flow into the toilet of SC politicians and outsiders that jockey for our primary. 2016’s primary will proberly “blow our socks off”. Can’t wait to see it ! Yes, Haley is a greasy east indian elected by preverts from SC. Sic, I like ya, but don’t come very close, my friend.
Indian, really?
Are you saying that democracy isn’t working?
She is a Chipmunk.
Yep, Russia has PUTIN and in the US with Obama, and in South Carolina with Ohaley, we have PUKIN!
That is, indeed, THE worst pic of the guv you’ve ever run, Sic.
Jim Carey from Dumb and Dumber, with a wig.
Yeah, that’s what governing a state is all about, having a great photo…
You ever seen the lungs of a smoker???…Obama smokes (I know he said he quit) ….but he looks great enough on the outside people worship him…
Glad to know you have your priorities in order.
Great question Tango. I ask you, have you ever seen the balls of a Republican?
Back at you: Have you ever had a pertinent thought, w/ even a modicum of thought in it, that was not a testament to your simple-mind and colossal stupidity????
That is iconic from you. I relish that one. Elaborate more of your wisdom. Tell all South Carolinians and me how the Republican way will cat apult the people of SC into a new future.
I have. I see the back of Tango’s balls every time I pack his fudge.

Ok, sorry, but I just have to ask, are those the whitest teeth you ever came across?
I think sharks maybe just a little whiter but not by much.
Dear God that picture of Haley just scared the shit out of me…what the hell did she shoot herself with a makeup gun? If we have a hurricane its going to be like Katrina, Haley and the teabaggers have cut state employees to the bone. Haley was quoted in a private meeting of her disdain for state employees yet the ones on her payroll are laughing all the way to the bank. There are not enough Troopers, DNR officers SLED agents and DOT workers to save all those people on the coast. This is a ticking time bomb.
DUH, name anything that has been done right since she was elected ?
Increase the size of her bank account with out of state money and give her employees huge raises…….
I’d estimate 10 mill at this point.
Haley’s successes:
Rejected un-affordable Medicaid Expansion
Against Common Core, government enforced education
Beat Obama trying to pilfer Union jobs from SC w/ Boeing
Lured Continental Tire
Helped expand Charter School potential
Beat Obama to fight Voter fraud.
Signed Amazon incentives
Lured Bridgestone
Evicted the filthy and criminal ‘Occupy’ Communists
Helped Michelin expansion
Incentives to Nephron Pharmaceuticals…
Haley has made some mistakes, but can you imagine what horrible shape the state would be in if Sheeheen was gov. and jumped to his knees, and inflicted Obama on South Carolina, instead of fighting him????
It’s time for that talk, ‘lil Teddy….
Uh, uh….she …well..uh, uh…didn’t she…….uh, uh….she protected the residents from a DOR breach…no wait..she didn’t, uh, uh…..she got Georgia a better port to help commerce…no wait…that hurts South Carolina ports and commerce…well she…uh, uh, let the security squad cross terain as waiters….no wait……uh, uh…she appointed …no wait….she gave the ax to the most competent trustee on the USC bd Darla Moore…no wait…..uh, uh….she appointed qualified…no wait…..she, she…got her daughter a job while firing aand laying off…..no wait….she ….uh,uh….no wait….she, she… did use her talents to make a few married men happy…no wait….Damn, she hasn’t done anything that did not promote herself…DAMN!
Fewer Troopers, Fewer DNR, Fewer SLED and DOT…because we don’t have the money..Got to give her credit for not spending when we don’t have it…
Sounds like a spending cut to me. Your not so F#@%king stupid that you are against a spending cut in Obama’s Horrible economy???…are you???
Government fines, fees unpaid – lawyers – lawsuits – hacking wedsites – etc = SC citizens pay more. Get used to the Haley way. Or as you would , call it the Obama way. Hopefully the many jobs that were created by Haley can off-set the issue. By the way, get ready for the Katrina gas tax. More from your friendly republicans. See ya at the pump GT.
“She is trying to fix SC.”..all by herself.
What a load of crap. Language like that from a near idiot ,,,,,and she will be reelected.
Let’s hope not.
i love living in neo-reconstruction SC with a indian woman governor and two gay US senators in the dawn of the age of aquarius LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!! i also love it that big T supports them all. o wait big T is just womanbeater will with a sock puppet on his dick.
Sounds like the myth-lords have completely taken over your brain…so you must be an ignorant, drone liberal.
I don’t care of their personal habits or ethnicity, as long as they govern fairly, and as they pledged. Graham is like a liberal, he is a liar…Scott is true to his word, and Haley does more good than bad…but I’d choose a Total Conservative over her, Anything is better than the corrupt and immoral Ds. .
Clue: Try thinking for yourself so you won’t look so stupid…
This is an old pic…taken in March 2013 when she introduced Romney at the CPAC gathering and “bangs” were the new rage thanks to the First Lady’s new hairstyle.
Did Georgia get more snow and ice than S.C.? Was it her brother that was stuck on the interstate? The storm was predicted well in advance and any sane person would have made arrangements to stay home or get where you were going in advance of this “blizzard”. Can’t she control the weather? Jeez, Nicki, lighten up, go build a snowman.
Did she and her team actually do anything during last week’s storm? Is she claiming to have done a good job because we are not Atlanta? Which hurricane scenario did she handle?
One of the Republican mantras speaks to taking responsibility for one’s actions. I implore all republican voters to accept responsibilty for the mistake of placing this governor in office and vote against her in November. Do not reward her behavior with re-election. Suck it up and take a stand against bad government and for South Carolina.
Will, you must have been either drunk or high back in the day. I mean there’s ugly and then there’s fugly.
She was very attractive in her Clemson days –unfortunately, she is not aging well.
Even with photoshop, I couldn’t have made a more god-awful image of Haley.
She copied my hair style that week. She even let me do it for her.
