… AND THEN REWIND THE TAPE

“Kudos” to trial lawyer Joe McCulloch for receiving the South Carolina Democratic Party’s 2014 election playbook – and promptly running the play entitled “slam Republicans on ethics.”

It’s predictable … but it makes sense.

It doesn’t take Captain Obvious to figure out “Republican” candidates in the Palmetto State are wildly vulnerable on ethics issues. Hell, thanks to the scandals that have ensnared S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley and Speaker of the House Bobby Harrell in recent years, even Private Obvious could figure that out.

Also to date neither politician has been held accountable for their lawbreaking … which makes the hit even more appealing.

Here’s McCulloch’s problem, though: His opponent, S.C. Rep. Kirkman Finlay (R-Columbia), is one of the few legislators championing tougher new ethics laws (and again here). Not only that, Finlay has also been openly supportive of doing away with the state’s corrupt legislative “ethics” committees – self-policing panels which have chosen to whitewash or ignore scandals rather than dispense justice.

Oh … and speaking of dispensing justice, it’s worth noting McCulloch has yet to condemn the rigged election that brought him within striking distance of Finlay two years ago (the infamous “Richland County Robbery“).

Seriously … seems like that might be a good first place to start.

If McCulloch were running against a corrupt “Republican” like Haley or Harrell, he might get some traction with his hypocritical hyperventilation on ethics issues. Unfortunately for him, he’s running against Finlay – who has no such vulnerabilities.

I’m pretty sure it was the “rigged election system” that made Kirkman Finlay the winner in 2012. I seriously cannot believe Kirkman pays you to write this. I’m embarrassed for him.

So “Republican candidates in South Carolina are wildly vulnerable on ethics issues.” Maybe “Captain Obvious” thinks so, but apparently the benighted voters of the First Congressional District who elected Mark Sanford have a different interpretation of what the word means.

Are you kidding me? You do know Kirkland was a sponsor of the bill you lambasted? Guess you expected us to miss that…. Sorry, but here it is in black and white:

He was too stupid (and stuck up Harrell’s ass) to even ask that he be removed as a sponsor after his boy Fits called the sponsors out.

But hey, we know who pays the bills, so I understand your hypocrisy. All I want to know is does ol Kirkman trim his pubes to look like is beard? You should have a good look when you’re down there….
