Yes, Jakie is the subject of the “Strom-problem” rumor. It has been confirmed by mainstream media sources, but they are unable to print it on the record.

Senator McConnell says that the co-mingling of public/private money means that the groups are subject to FOI request? Is this true?

If so…what group or person will step up and FOI this backdoor financing of Sanford’s?

What the hell is wrong with South Carolina. Have we turned into New Jersey? We are a one party state with no checks and balances.
Everyone knows we have a lazy press. But where is the Democratic Party? The ACLU? Common Cause? Elected Democratic Officials? Prosecutors? Crusading journalist?
Why the hell do supposedly honorable men and women sit everyday and watch story after story appear and then die without taking action.
We find out our governor is running a complete network of shadow groups funneling MILLIONS of dollars of out of state special interest money and virtually no one cares.
We be New Jersey without the pizza.

So, the question remains, will Gov. Sanford make a full disclosure of both the sources of income and the expenditures for each one of these groups? If not, maybe someone should test the validity of their tax-exempt status and thus,force disclosure. Or, the other alternative would be civil actions with discovery and subpoenas if grounds were met. But, is there not some GA subpoena powers?

This is indeed a tangled web waiting to be unraveled.

We’re sure it pays well to be a flea on our backsides, but please … even a rare clever (eleventy brazilian = very good) still doesn’t come close to putting you anywhere even remotely within striking distance of the vicinity of the ballpark of tolerable.

As for the Sanford story, why not ask news editor Steve Brook over La Socialista, who’s been sitting on it for months now.

Same thing w/ your other persistent query, from what we hear.

In fact, the MSM’s lack of motion on several stories we’ve covered in the past could well be the subject of an upcoming FITS post … which we’ll obviously look forward to hearing your take on.

P.S. – A little to the left, please … ahh … you got it.
