BAD DAYTIME TELEVISION HAS NOTHING ON THE S.C. GENERAL ASSEMBLY … 

Saturday was an eventful birthday for South Carolina political consultant Kerry Wood, husband of S.C. Rep. Donna Wood (R-Spartanburg).

Don’t believe us? Head on over to Wood’s Facebook page, where over the weekend he updated all of us on the current status of their marriage.

“This is my house right now, on my birthday. I’m not there, just had the photo sent to me,” Wood writes, referencing a picture of a Spartanburg County Sheriff’s cruiser parked in his driveway.

Oh yeah … it’s about to get interesting.

“Donna left me months ago,” Wood continues, referring to his wife – a first-term state lawmaker. “I’ve kept quiet about this for the most part, but that wasn’t the first time she has left me, just the last of many times she has walked out on me. I just didn’t go chasing her this time. She walked out but has been telling people I threw her out. She tells people she wants to reconcile, but then she threatens me.”

Whoa … a public official? Making threats?

Or are those the lyrics to every country song … like, ever.

Seriously, though … what are the cops doing getting involved in this mess?

KERRY AND DONNA WOOD
KERRY AND DONNA WOOD

“Today, she is cleaning her stuff out of the house and called the police in an attempt to intimidate my daughter,” Wood writes. “I will take a lot of junk, but messing with my little girl crosses a line that I will not stand for.”

Whoa … now we’ve got allegations of police intimidation, too?

Next, Wood acknowledges that “airing stuff like this on Facebook” is in “poor taste,” but according to him “people need to know what they REALLY have as an elected official in House District 37.”

Want more?

(Cue Maximus screaming: “Are you not entertained?”)

Okay … in the comments section below Kerry Wood’s post, a woman named Kelli Kelleher offers her moral support – telling him “Omg. I’m so sorry. You don’t deserve that. You’re the nicest guy I know!”

His response?

“Thank you!” he writes. “She has accused me of having an affair with you Kelli Kelleher – never told you that because you are very much like a daughter to me, but when was the last time we actually saw each other?”

The two then begin a bizarrely public back-and-forth exchange about the last time they saw each other, eventually concluding the meeting took place at a 2008 event for S.C. Sen. Shane Martin.

“I was sitting in Groucho’s two years ago and sent you a text ‘think about you’ which even when I explained to her what that really meant, it became an affair that she threw in my face over and over,” Kerry Wood recalls.

“Thinking about you just means thinking about you, not I want you haha,” Kelleher responds. “You were a big part of my life and a great guy. At least we knew what you meant by that.”

Kerry Wood then says that his wife is demanding he admit to adultery in an effort to expedite their divorce, but that he is “not admitting to something that didn’t happen.”

Yeah …

Calls to Donna Wood were not immediately returned.

Ordinarily we wouldn’t have run an item like this, but Kerry Wood’s public airing of all this dirty laundry – and the involvement of local law enforcement in the case (pursuant to allegations of threatening behavior) tipped the scales.

What do locals make of all this?

“They’re both crazy as f*ck,” one Spartanburg, S.C. resident told FITS.

Yeah, because random females I rarely ever see always text me saying “thinking of you” in a totally platonic way. The hilariously awkward pretending-they-don’t-fuck conversation is icing on this cake.

It is a familiar refrain. Didn’t K-eckstrom intimate the same around the time of his divorce? And Chapur during an infoBae interview tried to put their relationship down in the annals of history as platonic Christmas cards until he got divorced. And Haley’s 2 hour “business” chats st 2 am with Will? Platonic, my arse.

I’m still Republican; but, feed up with the leadership and officials elected by the party. I will vote as an Independent or the new American Party when possible, maybe even Liberatarian.

Jackie Chiles March 19, 2014 at 10:36 am

So you might as well not be voting then.

Now we have nothing on the Dems!!!!! At least we got rid of Ravenel, Ard and Viers- but when WE re-elected Mark Sanford, we prove to ourselves and to the state that the infection of low character and expectations has gone septic IN US!!!!! I join the club of Fed Up Republicans!!!

Your talking points bore me.

euwe max March 19, 2014 at 3:16 pm

I had no idea you were reading my posts.

Is there a particular genre that you would like to see more of in my posts? I’d be happy to lean more heavily on the arts, or engineering.. perhaps my focus on the constituents of the political issues is a little wearing.

I try to keep my eye on the ball – who thinks that people are scum, and are basically grist for the mill, and who thinks that people have intrinsic worth…

My talking points have to do with my faith in God, and in the deep, personally held belief that whatever you do for the least of these, makes a country great – not firepower, blustering, spying, or killing.

And what makes good business, is doing the most you can for the workers without giving up your own quality of life… not scraping all of the food off of the plates of those who make your goods before they can eat it.

However, did you know that gold comes from the collision of two exotic stars?
