Bright has no future anyway, so he should go ahead and take the job.

It’s always fun to was hyenas turning on each other, so I don’t care who “wins” given the taxpayers always lose…I just hope there’s maximum carnage in the process.

Courson has no future anyway. If he didn’t have Jean Toal in his district, he would be a complete eunuch up there. John: It will look better in your obituary to have Lt. Governor in there than not. Go ahead and take it, then move along to Still Hopes.

“he would be a complete eunuch”

Edgar, hope you don’t mind my using your first name, just out of curiosity what is an “uncomplete” eunuch

just the balls removed and bat left
just the bat removed and the balls left
just one ball removed and bat left
just one ball removed and the bat removed

I have always thought of an eunuch in the same terms as one being pregnant – either you is 100% or you ain’t

A guy with five penises walks into a doctor’s office. Curious, the doctor asks him how his pants fit. “Like a glove,” he answered.

It’s the middle June. It does not matter right now, except to a bunch of democrats, like FITS and The State newspaper, which called it a GOP implosions.

Chaos, Implosion. More like ‘wishful thinking’ by losers who have nothing else but Pootlian, Ervin, Obama and Sheheen to hang their hats on.

There are a lot of people I would wish this kind of turmoil on and its consequent embarrassment, though only temporary. Having known Yancey since our late teens/early twenties, he isn’t one of them.

Yancey is a better man than I in steady temperance and calm demeanor. I’m here to state that his friends and family who went to Columbia yesterday to celebrate his ascension know these things better than I and that they “have his back” regardless.

Yancey McGill is a top notch guy.

Hell, everyone knows a Gypsy Queen doesn’t have a heart

Interesting question

In an earlier post there was some discussion regarding words like “fucker” and “fuckee””

Given the history of the Gypsy Queen documented on this blog over the past few years I would state without a doubt that the Queen has and is always the “fucker”

No question there have been an eclectic group of “fuckees” who have rumbled in her wagon but none who have achieved the status of “fucker”

So yes, skippy is the horse

Women have vaginas, so they get fucked, and our GQ likes it with different men. But politicians are fuckers (of taxpayers, the elderly, veterans, etc.), and so our GQ is both fuckee and fucker.

“First, S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley started making calls to State Senators urging them not to put a Democrat “a heartbeat away” from the governor’s office – even if only for the next six months. ”

Guess she changed her mind.

Haley: No issues with a Democrat as interim lieutenant governor
http://www.thestate.com/2014/06/12/3503651/haley-no-issues-with-a-democrat.html
[Excerpt]
COLUMBIA, SC — Republican Gov. Nikki Haley said Thursday that she would have no issues with having a Democrat temporarily residing in the lieutenant governor’s office.

“I just think we need to have a lieutenant governor,” Haley told reporters in front of her State House office. “This was never personal for me. If I am in this wing, somebody has to be across the hall.”

If Lin Bennett understands how to find a seat on a “bus”……..god help Hugh….!!

If Reverend Darby understands how to “hi-jack” a bus then Glenn McConnell had better pick up a phone and call Mayor Riley…..!!!!

Ya know…..I wonder how much a call list would be worth if Bryan Crabtree has used a certain phone to call Wil Folks…!?

Leatherman is reaching for total control of this state. he has the Dems, moderate Republicans, and now has turncoats like Kevin Bryant voting for his budget and pledging to vote for him for Senate President.
If Leatherman wins this it will be the biggest set back to conservatism in 25 years.

Ok, so I was there during the entire tumultuous and ridiculous affair. Started with points of order by Sen. Shane Massey arguing about sine die and what that meant. This nothing more than wriggling for more time in order to allow Leatherman to gain additional support in place of Courson when he wants a “do over” for Senate Pro Tempore. Nonetheless, it was a huge waste of taxpayer dollars for these guys to banter about wasting time. I am of course overly critical of Republicans who show such disdain for wasting taxpayer dollars – Bright, Bryant, etc.
