#37: While I agree Kaye Hearn will be more likely than Kittredge to be Toal’s “ace in the hole” to add to Toal’s power fixation, I disagree that Kaye’s husband, George Hearn assisted Toal in “fixing” the bar exam. The State newspaper on November 13, 2007 wrote, “?S.C. Board of Law Examiners chairman George Hearn said neither the high court nor any of his board members informed him about the matter after the board submitted final scores of the July exam to the court before they were posted Oct. 26.” While George Hearn came out and said he had nothing to do with the bar exam debacle, he certainly has remained absolutely silent about Toal’s continuing to lie about what happened. At this point I don’t believe either Kaye Hearn or John Kittredge can bring Toal back to honesty and integrity. Time is the enemy of absolute power……..

Kay Hearn could be the more qualified member of the Judiciary. She was passed over when Don Beatty ran last time because of the political payback owed for his challenging of Speaker Bob Sheheen during the reapportionment debate in 1993, which led to the eventual takeover of the SC House by the GOP in 1994. Hearn will most assuredly be Jean Toal’s “ace in the hole” to crush any attorney or anyone for that matter that stands in her way or in the way of her political allies. Leatherman is seeking shelter from a potential political storm by supporting her. Who knows at this point what ethical storm of improprieties that may be? Kittridge is a safer bet, however, waiting your turn at the end of the day does not make you the most qualified when your husband fixes the Bar Exam for the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee’s daughter. This alone should place you at the back of the line to fight another day.

Your threats of a lawsuit is now going to cause major embarassment to a major law firm in SC and to a former clerk of Judge Hearn. There is written proof that the former clerk violated the provisions of the SC Judicial Merit Committee’s rules on endorsements prior to the release of the committee’s final report during the May 2007 election where Judge Hearn took a “holier than thou attitude” towards the other candidates.

sic(k) willie,

We just bought half of Beldar’s pig farm in Red Bank. He’s a great guy, and you’re welcome to live in the barn on our farm anytime.

We know you have a thing for the ladies, so we must ask that you stay away from our pigs who are under 21. Pigs over 21 are fair game.

Just like your friends in the Vista. Amen.

sic(k) willie, you’re a crafty little bugger. Do you know what we mean?

Since you’ve not traveled internationally (as far as we knowz) we must ask: Do you know what that word means to citizens of the world?

You bugger! Enjoy it, you bugger!

#24 sounds more like sic(k) willie’s momma than willie. sic(k) willie is the kind of person only a momma can love or defend.

His “sources” won’t admit talking to him.

His money masters won’t admit to paying him (except Rod, once).

His former “clients” get arrested or investigated by Ethics’.

His gub’ner fired him. HoHum.

Now his gub’ner is really,really tissed about the latest williescam because it splashed all over like a discharge from Pork & Barrel.

His only real friend is Beldar of Remulak who has offered to let sic(k) willie live in the loft at his pig farm in Red Bank. That’s a very kind offer, but we worry about the virgin sows. sic(k) willie likes ladies.

Bitter “Pete” must have an axe to grind. Pick a possible answer:

A. Pete lost a case in the appellate courts and is a sore loser.
B. Pete tried to get a job in the appellate system and failed.
C. Pete lost his bar license because he failed to follow the rules of professional conduct.
D. Pete wants to be a judge one day and that will never happen.
E. All of the above.
F. Some of the above.
G. At least one of the above
H. In addition to all, some, or at least one of the above, some other reason that rips the rug out from under Pete’s credibility because he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

#27: You made my point. The only way one can provide good legal service to one’s clients in South Carolina is to actively participate in Toal Worship. Read Lambert’s and Waring’s comments after Toal’s speech last Friday. I am retarded, then. Guess that’s what gets me through the days of living in a Toal dynasty.
