Yep, I lost the storyline in two paragraphs. Sounds like Mr.Folks’s brain gets drenched in a rush of hormones each time he reminisces about the now world-famous Haley-Folks “physical relationship”. There is too much excitement in the prose, without much sense of direction in the post. Say I am right, Will.

“…Haley’s enemies seized upon … us. Well, our founding editor Will Folks…”

“Seized upon…us” ah, the “plurals of majesty” or is it “delusions of grandeur”?

Nikki is enjoying a surge in popularity, because she’s started doing things that are popular with most people. Like ditching that silly flag. Believe it or not, most people don’t like racists.

I’d agree that her leadership on the flag and the flood is helping her political capital, I’m just wondering where she got the backbone for the flag issue… I voted for her – twice. I’ve just been real disappointed with her on fiscal issues, infrastructure and providing real leadership in the governance of the state.

We didn’t hire her to run for other offices, we hired her to lead the state.

Why would a smart woman with ambitions stay in SC? There’s no challenge or great reward to be had by staying in a state that is nothing more than an afterthought or joke. The only thing the people of SC have to offer Nikki is a stepping stone to better things. Good for her.

That’s pretty much true. Davis and a couple others came out strong for it to come down and the next day Haley did, too.

I think “Us” (Will) felt the need to remind us that he once got a “Lewinsky” from the gubernor (at least in “their” mind). The gist of the real story is that HRH Will, thinks that Rubio is the only real Republican candidate.

I cut Will some slack on his book, because I have the same problem with osme of my writing. Sometimes I just can’t follow through on the thought at hand — here’s an example:

—————————————————————————–

WHEN BROADS WERE BROADS (page 265) …{ DRAFT #9 }

————————-
The door was opened by a glamorous blonde in a negligee. Her eyes were blue and her breasts substantial.

He showed his badge. I’m Detective Ripper from the 21st
Precinct. Are you Miss Thricejoy? I heard you have some information for me.”

“Yes. Please come in. Would you like a drink?”

“I don’t drink on duty.”

“Do you sit down on duty?”

He walked across the room and sat on the sofa. “What’s the information?”

She sat opposite him on a chair, and when she crossed her legs he could see she wasn’t wearing underwear. She wasn’t a real blonde either. “Actually I wanted to talk about Clarence, who you arrested last night. I wonder if
you’d consider dropping your charges against him.”

“What’s he to you?”

She looked him squarely in the eye. “He’s my boyfriend.”

“You’d better find another boyfriend, because he is going away for a long time.”

She stood up, pulled a piece of lace, and her negligee fell away. She was naked as hell and beautiful as heaven.
“Are you sure there isn’t anything I can do to change your mind?”

He reached down and unzipped his fly. “I don’t know. What can you do?”

She walked toward him tantalizingly, dropped to her knees, and reached for his

Today I received a short review of a bootleg copy of Will’s book (such as it is to date) from my friend Rod Serling, who writes ……

“ My honest opinion is that it is the recollections of one Will Folks with appropriate flashbacks and soliloquy. Or more simply stated, the evolution of a losing lover. The cycle of going from dessert to dust. The metamorphosis from
being a potential “Beau Ideal” to an ingredient in someone’s soup. Henry, this can only happen …… in the Twilight Zone.”

I worked at the Capitol in2007-2012. Everybody was aware of the Haley/Folks affair. No one thought much about it, she was a bland, below average Legislator and “sport sex” is the norm.

All the carping from the carping crew here aside, this is pretty much an understated post from Will. No doubt, though, that it won’t be the last one on the subject — as more details emerge.

He buried several possible ledes, within the text of the post. As the headline and lede stand, they could pass for any other post on any other day, about SCGOP pols, their operatives, and the ravenous mainstream press (here and nationally) playing politics as the blood sport that it is.

Geez, give him credit for some restraint, why don’tcha?

Tard Terry, BJ (aptly initialed) Boling, and Bowtied fag Donehue, who is desperate to outrun his genetic coding. Not to mention one of the scummiest of all scumbags to ever walk the planet, who takes the elevator up every morning to crawl out of the gutter, in Warren Tompkins. What remains beyond me, is why anyone would *want* to spend time with any of those douchebags, let alone *pay* them, and have to interact with those losers. I know they all think they’ve all got the world by its tail, and think themselves to be uber-successful, that demonstrates of course, just how small their world, and world-view really is.

Thankfully not me doing the dance, but the nitty gritty is that I’ve had the unfortunate experience of spending some time around them. Those days I was doing some work for others that likewise employed them to conduct certain aspects of their political ventures. Ultimately I had to tell them that they’d have to find someone else to polish those turds.

You are pretty harsh on my distant cousin several times removed, Warren Tompkins. That branch of the Tompkins/Thompkins clan just never were right in the haid. The boy cain’t hep it.

You nailed it on bowtie boy and the others

Barrett found The Lord, of course (I think he was at the bottom of a gin bottle, he’s tricky like that) — so by SC Law, and the SC Christian Conservative Republican Confederacy Code of Retroactive Sanctification, he has been Bathed In The Blood and cleansed of all heinous political bugfuckery.

Warren is too clever by half. The other three stooges are still in training, but with their low character, all they need is continued opportunity to inherit his clients, and riding his coattails to others, all the way to the gates of hell.
