Rex For Governor 2010
“EXPANDING SHITTY PERFORMANCE TO THE REST OF STATE GOVERNMENT”
FITSNews – April 29, 2008 – In spite of our recent criticism of their efforts, McLovin’ and the boys over at The Palmetto Scoop have penned an excellent post up this morning on how S.C. Superintendent of Education Jim Rex is once again using the bitter fruits of his own department’s failure to advance his political career.
Ironically, that’s how it works in our state. You can completely stink up the joint and still get a billion dollars in new money to keep doing what you’re doing … not to mention mount a bid for higher office while you’re at it. From The Scoop’s story:
Under the guise of a petition drive to create a Constitutional amendment inserting the words “high quality education†into the South Carolina Constitution, State Schools Superintendent Jim Rex has launched what appears to be nothing more than an exploratory Website for a looming 2010 gubernatorial bid …
… on the site, GoodbyeMinimallyAdequate.com, Rex claims the amendment would increase vital education funding …
I think the most pressing minimally adequate feature of our school system is Jim Rex. And I don’t think many folks will have trouble saying goodbye to his lack of leadership.
Amen to that, brother McLovin. We try the whole “more money for public schools” route every damn year with the same sh*tty results, and the only way Rex and his educrat cronies over at the State Ministry of Failure and Non-Competition can show any progress at all is by moving the goalposts.
Seriously, if these guys spent as much time actually attempting to educate our kids as they did trying to artificially inflate test scores and lying about the success of other options, we might actually get somewhere in this ass-backward state.

Please God, No.
I’m telling you, a banker or other tightwad is this state’s only hope as the next governor. They could say no to the porkers all day long and enjoy it.

words are words. changing the constitution won’t educate one child. Rex and the dems are so damn stupid. More money and changing the wording of the constitution won’t change the crappy education system.
By the way, if Rex is the dems only chance at Governor, Barrett is a shoe in.
Go Gresh!
