Great, the most powerful person in the state needs to wear Depends.
The “Vote Hugh, He’s Dependable” ads will practically write themselves.
There’s a hidden blessing in the prospect that one who attained so much power is approaching the inability to use it effectively as his mind diminishes.
It’s almost Faustian.
… The Elder Statesman? “…He’s Dependable”? … The “… secretive concrete connection”? (FITS: concrete connection / https://3c06aba1-bb5b-4989-bcf9-62da466d33bc.cc04.conves.io/2013/02/05/the-littlest-diggers-concrete-corruption-expands/) … Solid, in the bag? … That’s gotta smart.
I hear Leatherman controls several state agencies now too. PEBA, Department of Revenue and others. Tell me another state where a senator controls executive agencies? Banana Republic here in SC.
DOR is a cabinet agency with the head appointed by the Governor. PEBAs head is appointed by a board. Leatherman can’t control them.
Haley will simply remove her cabinet heads if they answer to Leatherman. The Governor and Haley hate each other so she’s not gonna let her lackeys answer to him.
I have known Hugh since he was mayor. He is not to be trusted.
Who do you think appoints the “board”?
Read this fluff piece…..

Leathermen is getting a light “masseuse”….
***….meanwhile in the ISIS headquarters of Proctor and Gamble…***
Brother Ibrahim: ” Just look at this report, no wonder our sales are so lackluster around here. We have no 83 year old geezers to wear our products in a commercial to inform consumers here in the Arab region about our great Depends product line…”
Brother Cashveli: “Heck, just think of the great propaganda poster we can make at the same time to lift the spirits of our men..!! Don’t be like old American men….. DIE for Allah before you need Depends….”
Brother Ibrahim: ‘Doesn’t that do right the opposite for our sales marketing…!”
Brother Cashveli: “You idiot…..depends make a lot of great bandages to sop up all the blood in an operating room…!! They make great tissues at wakes for all our women to use too….”
Brother Ibrahim: ” I dont think that is what our local Mullah had in mind when we got this distributorship…”
“…the Palmetto State’s “chief executive” is basically a figurehead who controls only a portion of her own branch of government…
And yet to believe many of your posts and thousands of the comments, Nikki is responsible for all the ills of our fair state…
Dss, scdot, scdew, scdor all monumental failures all Haley cabinet agencies
If Hugh goes, imagine the power vacuum that would come from that. Sic, you would have more the write about than you could ever dream.
Leatherman and Harvey Peeler hate each others guts, make NO mistake!
It is kind of like Hollings and Thurmon. Hollings despised being the Junior Senator from SC. Peeler took the majority position from Leatherman and wants to be Chairman of Finance so bad he begrudges every breath Leatherman draws. Leatherman and Haley cannot stand each other either. Harvey Peeler is Haley’s Senate lap dog in the Senate. Talk about an unholy alliance! Leatherman despises the Peelers (Bob/Harvey) and will attend sessions 10 years after he passes to deny them the power they worship above all else, except a skirt to chase.
If Harv bumps Leatherman off, he and his brother, infamous Bob Peeler (trash lobbyist,Clemson’s maggot trustee) will turn South Carolina into an international cesspool!!
The State desperately needs God’s intervention on this one.
/// Crazy isn’t it? The guy who now wields absolute power over the Palmetto State wears diapers and can’t remember anything after 4:00 p.m. ///
Par for the course, actually.
*cough* Strom Thurmond’s last couple terms. *cough*
What’s the story about the elevator? Did Hugh forget that once you hit 80 that you never trust a fart?
