First of all we sincerely appreciate the thoughtful tenor of your comments. They are indeed a departure from some of our more hackneyed, predictable fare.

Additionally, you have consistently served the governor well in your current capacity as his Health and Human Services advisor, and we have always felt your calm, circumspect approach to discharging the responsibilities of that job was worthy of emulation.

We also appreciate your career advice for Sic Willie. In the event his acting career and current “fling” with Lindsay Lohan prove fruitless, you have certainly provided him with a wide range of future career options.

With respect to the substance of your comments, our post did not insinuate that Gov. Sanford curses “like a sailor” in the office. We were simply pointing out the fact that his statement insisting that he does not use curse words in his “private language” was false.

Gov. Sanford (who along with his staff reads FITSNews quite frequently, by the way) is just one of many state and national political figures we poke fun at on a daily basis. That’s what we do, and last time we checked we’ve never heard of any one of Bobby Harrell, Hugh Leatherman, Mitt Romney or John McCain’s people getting bent out of shape when we referred to their boss as a socialist, midget, dolphin and fogy, respectively.

Our primary objective is to make people laugh, and every once in awhile “call a spade a spade,” to borrow another of the governor’s untimely utterances.

Having said all that, the governor and his press office have a standing invitation to follow the example of numerous other politicians and politicos in pitching us stories, responding to our inquiries and generally making an effort to present the governor’s case in this little corner of the marketplace of ideas. In fact, we told the governor as much when he called Sic Willie two months ago following the publication of our competitive grants story.

In any event, we do appreciate the sincerity of your remarks, as well as your acknowledgement of Sic Willie’s skills and genuine concern for his well-being.

It would do him good to see a therapist for some counseling or maybe even a doctor. If he doesn’t lay off of the midland’s top Dixiecrat eating champ, weewillie is going to need a good proctologist. To surgically remove Jakie’s foot from his @ss.

Newspaper Hack, you’re kinda cool. Not very bright, but cool.

Up until this string I thought B-I-N also could have been from the governor’s office, but the “Friend” post above sounds, in all fairness, like His Excellency himself — the Irish and French novelists stuff is a good hint — which would make it strange if B-I-N was part of Sanford’s office. (For what it was worth, I thought the entry was sincere. It verges on condescension in places — especially if it was written by/for the governor or any other longtime pol — but it seemed fundamentally honest).

Whoever B-I-N is, I like his/her/their style: fight the cut-and-paste problems by…cutting and pasting. Nice.
