HOW NOT TO APOLOGIZE FOR BEING A SEXIST PIG …
|| By FITSNEWS || A South Carolina State Senator who referred to his only female colleague as a “lesser cut of meat” – and later apologized for the sexist comment – has switched back on the offensive.
S.C. Senator Thomas Corbin – whose controversial remarks were reported on exclusively by FITS last week – is now accusing his colleague Katrina Shealy (the only female member of the 46-person State Senate) of having a role in the bad press.
“She chose to be offended and make a big deal out of all this,” Corbin told reporter Jamie Self of The (Columbia, S.C.) State newspaper.
Wait … what?
Let the record reflect (again) that when this website approached Shealy in the aftermath of this incident she refused to discuss it with us.
Let the record also reflect that Corbin’s bizarrely inappropriate comments are nothing new. In addition to previous statements about how women should be “barefoot and pregnant” and “at home baking cookies,” sources tell FITS Corbin has also made offensive comments to legislators’ spouses.
“He’s a boor,” one Senator’s wife told FITS. “A disgusting human being.”
We concur …
Again, we’re not big on politically correct “teachable moments” here at FITS, but Corbin has reportedly been harassing Shealy for months – years, even. And he has continued to harass her even after she made it abundantly clear she’d had enough of his sexist jokes.
No one should have to tolerate that sort of nonsense …
RAPID REACTION
@fitsnews someone stick a hamburger, a rib, a steak – something in his mouth. You can't apologize and then blame the "deal-maker."

If you think what Corbin said was bad, you should hear what Loftis (treasurer) has said about Katrina. It ain’t pretty!
Well, we will never read that here.
How silly. Loftis is one of her biggest supporters and has featured her on his Facebook page.
Lies! Curt thinks she’s an uniformed woman that doesn’t belong in the big leagues. Thinks she’s all about running for bigger things. I personally think he’s jealous she’s making a different and is working hard. She’s the opposite of Loftis.
How easy it is for a coward to lie from behind the anonymity of a computer screen.
I dunno, tell us Curtis. he he he
uninformed women don’t belong in the big leagues. uninformed men either. you seem uninformed, maybe you should sit on the bench on this one.
This handful of Loftis haters really are pathetic little people, aren’t they?
Thank goodness we have such an enlighted figure helping to shape the minds of the next generation of South Carolina men at the local church.
Wonder what his thoughts are on the color of the meat – you know – light meat, dark meat.
This guy needs about 20 years in Rev. Wright’s church then he can become a real American hater like Barack and work with our enemies to destroy this country.
I don’t know. He already talks like a Muslim man.
Can’t someone just make fat boy a punching bag? I’d imagine it would be easy to goad him into a fight so there’s no legal ramifications…he seems dumb as a box of rocks.
I know some boxes of rocks, and your comparison is very insulting to them. Rocks are way smarter. And less offensive.
Another typical woman hating douchebag republican showing out for is equally as disgusting peers. At least he hasn’t pled guilty to CDV.
That’s OK. He’s just representing the knuckle-dragging rednecks in Travelers Rest. Or maybe Marietta.
Where they believe in
“Conservative Values.”
Having a prescription drug habit and going through multiple wives, that is the definition of conservative values!
Hey Smirks. Bring me a cup of coffee.
Please, She is supporting Jay Koon in Lexington for Sheriff. He degrades women while his wife isn’t near, and he likes the strip clubs. If she supports this guy she shouldn’t have any problem with her fellow senator.
The FITS Speech Police…
Are you sure Liberal-Tarians are what they tell you they are?
Hola Bit Dog…. No @sses this post?
he is the @ss in every one of his posts
Sic Willie, under your self-styled classification, would you refer to this guy as a “Republican”, or a real Republican? (No apostrophes)
Sic likes this blowhard…at least during the primaries when he endorsed him. I would guess he is a no apostrophe republican. Birds of a feather, I guess.
“Big Oink”–Jakie–has passed the baton.
Why this shock and surprise. He is a southern Republican. Its just part of the beast. Can a leopard change its spots. To paraphrase Julia Sugarbaker, “I’m talking about the rules they have; no blacks, no gays, and no big mouth broads”.
No one has jumped in yet to whine about how you can’t generalize Republicans? The same guys who generalize Democrats and liberals of course, but oh well.
Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son.
“Knowledge is Good”
You left out POS.
Airplane Movie.
I was going to add something but you did such a good job I will just up vote it thanks.
Confusing. Fits is not into “teachable moments” so an admission he’s into letting people get away with insulting, inflammatory, derogatory statements so as not to be seen as being on the side of political correctness.
Yet, he’s admonishing this guy under that very paradigm.
Fits, don’t be a pussy. It’s ok to stand up and hold people to account for racist and sexist statements made in the public domain…especially when that person is a public office holder.
Did Fits support Limbaugh when he called a college girl a slut? I’m confused…
Still, this is S.C. and backwards is as backwards does.
Really? America has a terrorist sympathizer occupying the wHite House and you are worried about what FITS thinks about that femi-nazi slut that wanted free birth control?
How I would love to beat your ass right in front of your boy Tango.
Many did support Limbaugh.
“He’s just an entertainer!”
“What he said was true, but he went about it the wrong way!”
“If you call on companies to pull their ads, you are an enemy of free speech!”
They can’t just call a spade a spade.
At least it took Rush down a peg!

Are NONE of these people ashamed of their affiliation with this idiot?
Assuming you have children, have any of them done something stupid?
What this 40 something year old ‘child’ did and has doubled down on is not ‘stupid’. Now, he may be stupid. But, that’s something different.
And, ‘stupid’ is not an excuse for contemptuous behavior. This guy is a bully like Chris Christie. He just doesn’t have the guts to bully men, which even Christie will do now and than.
I recognize many of those same bully traits in you, nitrat.
Thumper, your name tells me why you’re so upset.
There are many fundamentalists – particularly, of the bible thumping variety – who believe what Corbin said to Shealy is scientific fact. Not the joke he later claimed it was.
You guys have been lucky because no one has focused on that in all of this. It’s been all about the sexism.
But, the reason why Corbin does not appear to feel that what he said is deserving of a sincerely felt apology is because he probably believes the Bible tells him he’s right.
I chose Bible Thumper to dispel the ignorant stereotypes that you just spouted. Just like gays own words used to disparage them like “fag” and “queer”, I own Bible Thumper, which is used to disparage Christians.
“bully”? …you threaten this guys family and Christie is a “bully”?
Corbin bullies an adult woman who chose a public life. nitrat goes after children.
I know the definitions of ‘threaten’ and ‘bully’ and you don’t!
You need to discuss with HIM why HE provided all that info I copied and pasted to the scstatehouse.gov website.
As I said elsewhere, why is FITSNEWS more public than a state run legislator website?
Is that you Tommy?
BULLY!!!
No doubt he’s a South Carolina class douche – but come on, expecting his parents to “disown him”?!?
Did you catch Biden creeping on/molesting the wife of the new SecDef – we haven’t disowned him (well, I have) and he does that crap all the time and it’s no less disrespectful of women.
Where in the world did you get “disown him”, in quotes, from?
Not from me.
But, if I had a close family member/business partner/church member who was digging themselves deeper and deeper, I would clue them in.
Of course, if they all thought what he’s been doing is OK, that would explain why he’s still doing it.
Of course, since it’s time to deflect to Joe Biden…Joe should keep his hands to himself.
And, as I said at a WaPo story about his behavior yesterday, it’s time for Obama and Kerry to stop hugging male and female foreign leaders and diplomats because it is so grossly unprofessional.
“Disown him” was putting words in your mouth. How do you know his dad or mother hasn’t already said, “….son that was stupid…”, or that his pastor hasn’t already said, “…dang Tom, I don’t believe I’d of said that…”. You don’t and you couldn’t so what do you have left by listing all of those associations? Either you’re trying to smear them or you are looking for a public pronouncement, a la “…we’ve disowned the fat douche bag…”
Gee, I never knew ‘putting words in your mouth’ was the same a repeating a statement someone has said, which is the common usage that quotation marks denote; you know, quotation marks mean it is a quote, something someone has actually said.
Wikipedia – Examples of what constitutes cyberbullying include communications that seek to intimidate, control,manipulate, put down, falsely discredit, or humiliate the recipient.

The only word in this definition that you could cling to is “falsely”. Every other word identifies you.

As for people publishing personal information. People naturally seek connections with other people with shared interest or history. That is a positive human trait. That should be possible on the Internet also. Jerks like you make the Internet dangerous.
What part of HE published this info which I copied and pasted from the scstatehouse.gov website are you missing?
What make scstatehouse.gov LESS private than FITSNEWS?
I’m sorry, man, you are making no sense.
BTW, I am NOT ‘communicating’ with Corbin. I am posting comments on blog.
The reason he published was to connect personally with voters. That is a good thing.
The reason you posted it was to bully and intimidate and harms innocent people. Can you see the difference?
“…disown him…” is how I provide direct quotes (real)(for imagined I leave off the italics) – “disown him” means that I am using a phrase that expresses the “gist of an idea”.
“Clemson University”
She’s perhaps lucky she wasn’t compared to lesser classes of livestock, or fertilizer.
The lowered’s servant, loverly lowing Leann.
Gutless piece of shit and stalker.Why don’t you show up at the church on Sunday and ask em?
You won’t. Liberals are cowards and liars.Just this past weekend your socialist pervert buddies showed up at Scott Walker’s PARENTS house and harassed them-even threatening em.
Pussy. He ought to get a Restraining Order to protect his family from you. Is your post an attempt to incite violence against his family and children?
LOL.
Son, did you miss the link I copied and pasted that information from?
Here it is again. It’s the SC Legislature Online site: http://www.scstatehouse.gov/member.php?code=0402272679
If he doesn’t want anyone to know where he lives, who his parents are, who his wife and children are, where he works, where he went to school and where he goes to church, he shouldn’t publish it at the Legislative website.
BTW, I didn’t copy and paste his address. But, he posted it at the scstatehouse.gov website.
Is that you, Tommy?
“If he doesn’t want anyone to know”
Just because he is stupid, doesn’t mean you should bully his children who didn’t have a choice.
Sorry, as the scstatehouse.gov website shows, he’s been married since 1992. His children may be grown.
Even if they are in elementary school, they know you should talk nice to other people and not demean them in public, even if you think you’re just regurgitating your personal theology.
Shame is a powerful tool to change behavior. Since public exposure of what is Corbin is reported to have a long history of doing has only caused him to double down, it’s time that all of his family, including his children, step forward and set him straight…if they weren’t all raised to think his kind of behavior is appropriate.
And, what exactly makes the scstatehouse.gov website and what Thomas Corbin chose to have shown there more private than FITSNEWS?
If there are underlying reasons why South Carolina is run by fools, this has to be one of the top 2.
Thank God for Texas.They sure don’t like that radical Islamist occupying the wHite House.
don’t you stalk rocky’s daughter?
Rocky don’t have a daughter.He is a bi-sexual,transgender queer that works for LGBT.
Sadly, the quality of elected officials at all levels of government have declined significantly over the years. No decent individual would consider running for office considering the hateful climate that exists these days. So, that means only the self-serving and white trash like Corbin represent us. Its really sad.
Has anyone ever heard the foul mouth on Shealy?? Her comments about the disabled are far more disgusting… I live near her and have listened to her for years… sick of her!
“Her comments about the disabled are far more disgusting”
Ugh. Kicking the already hobbled is hardly ladylike. But, we are talking about a Lexington County Republican here after all.
What a lie
You do know what quotation marks are and mean, don’t you?
Or are we dealing with the heartbreak of homeschooling here?
Are you surprised? She is a Republican. They don’t give a crap about anyone except themselves. Republican men pick on blacks, gays, women and anyone weaker than they are. Republican women are typical Stepford wife sorority types. They don’t have much of a brain, but they like to make fun of anyone they consider socially inferior. Like minorities and disabled people.
These are the ladies who drop the kids at school and then meet their friends at the club for lunch where they complain the state isn’t helping them pay for their kids private school tuition. “Bill says I might get a new BMW if school choice passes. I told him, honey as long as I don’t have to work I don’t care if I have to drive a Lexus” Opps gotta go, late for the Lacrosse match..
Terry, do you know someone named Jan?
Its already been reported that this fucked up fat sack of shit was not sincere in his apology. He is clearly, in fact, your typical “sociopath.” Additionally, seems to me he is also “bipolar.” All that aside, now fat boys days are numbered. Within 12 months time, he will likely be INDICTED. BTW, me think private eyes have been following him around for many many weeks. Whats his favorite strip club??
.
Meanwhile, check out his fakebook page. Lots of … ummm … “nice” comments?
He is pitiful. Why would you continue to fight when there is no possibility of winning. I understand hating to lose, but he can only make his defeat worse. This doesn’t even take into account that he was wrong in the first place.
You are right…he should have kept his mouth shut…Shealy appears to be awfully thin skinned however…what would she do if she had to endure what is spoken and said about Haley?…or what many of the liberals racists on FITS have posted about Tim Scott?
Was Shealy thin skinned or was she rubbed raw?
What I admire about Haley is how gracefully she handled her accusers. Anyone who disputes her handling of it can’t dispute the results. Her career is going strong and the political careers of everyone associated with attacking her has been destroyed.
Her detractors think she should have done more than merely denied the accusations or that Michael should have gotten involved. That would’ve just gotten them in the confusing deep weeds. Instead, she kept the issue clear that the accusers had no evidence and it was their burden to prove it. By keeping the light on them people realized what an unsavory group they were.
Excellent. A very balanced and truthful reply. I thank you.
Who gives a shit? Let him be. You elected him, you’re stuck with him. Way more important things to be concerned with.
Not clever. Not funny. Just embarrassing. But if you think he’s bad, look at the people who voted for him.
…and will do so again.
And Sanford.
A shit leopard can’t change its spots; apparently Thomas Corbin is just a big ‘ol mustard tiger.
Damn! what a hunka hunka!
….burning turd !!
Mr. Meat-Snacks knows all about cuts of meat.
Apply directly to the mouth.
Meh…typical republican. He is just dumber than most and says out loud what he believes.
One wakes up every morning with the question: How can the South Carolina state legislature cover itself with glory again today? Corbin must have aced the Stupid Test required of all GOP candidates.
This guy seems to have been eating way too many cuts of meat.
Shealy’s mouth is as foul as any of her colleagues. Come on Katrina, you are loving the attention!
