Powerful S.C. House Speaker Bobby Harrell (RINO-Charleston) – whose public corruption case was recently referred to a statewide grand jury – announced today that he had been hospitalized this week for a respiratory illness.
“For the last two weeks, I have been experiencing flu-like symptoms. Yesterday afternoon, I went to see a doctor and he diagnosed me as having a respiratory illness,” Harrell said in a statement. “Because of the persistent nature of these symptoms, they advised me to remain at the hospital overnight so they could monitor my condition. I followed my doctor’s advice, and was released from the hospital earlier today. After taking today to rest up, I plan to be at the State House tomorrow to gavel the House into session.”
Hmmmm …
Harrell’s announcement comes on the same day S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley’s welfare czarina, Lillian Koller, avoided a public hearing into multiple scandals at her agency by referencing an as-yet-undisclosed illness.
Seriously … is there something in the water in Columbia, S.C.?
You know … other than trace levels of cowardice and a total lack of accountability?
All we know is this: If Harrell is setting the stage for an eventual resignation from office due to health reasons, a) that’s great, and b) it’s probably the least transparent thing we’ve ever seen.

A lot of that going around…
Pulling a koller.
BbbwwaahahahahahahA
Looks like South Carolina has achieved another first.
We are now the epicenter for Cockroach Flu
Unlike Bird Flu which can kill your sorry ass, Cockroach Flu provides a convenient excuse for fucking cockroaches like Harrell and Koller to scurry out of the sunshine
But that’s OK. At some point, just like in the cases of Knotts, Halfwit and Frazier, the little bastards will eventually get caught by a few rays and implode
Fucking Cockroaches
Same doctor and hospital room as Ford..??
Hmmm. Maybe Koller is swinging back for a threesome??
Rumor on street is that Mayor Halfwit is successor to Mcleese at columbia chamber of commerce. what a dumbass decision. Lexington cockroaches coming to columbia.
Randy would be 10,000,000 percent better than IkeyMike. (Definition: Dumbshit asskisser to The Great Pumpkin John West).
A recto-cranial inversionectomy was performed and the Speaker is now back where he should be.
“Seriously … is there something in the water in Columbia, S.C.?”
Yeah, it’s called old people get sick and go to the hospital a lot.
Yep, just like Jimmy, a resignation is most likely around the corner. Illness my ass.
Harrell spoke at the SC Press Assoc Legis Workshop last Thursday in front of 50+ reporters. He was clearly sick then, didn’t look all that well at the press conference yesterday either. Doubt there is anything going on execpt he really is sick
It is official: Cindy Ross-Scoppe is against Harrell. That means I now worship the ground Harrell walks on. Anything she is against I am for and vice versa.
It’s called Stress.
I agree, stress can be an outright killer. The mental aspect of it does bad things to your body physically if it’s great enough.(I speak from experience)
I’m sure it’s quite stressful not knowing if you are going to jail or not and if you might lose everything financially- not that he doesn’t deserve whatever might come his way.
People are dying from the flu in the Trident area of the Lowcountry.
Read the papers.
Fuck the son of a bitch. Fuck him real good. He is going to lose everything he owns. The people want this pig not in a prison, but UNDER IT!!! … And to you spies for Harrell, the FBI has been watching all of you for quite a while now.
