Sic The Heroin User? June 6, 2008

BELIEVE IT OR NOT, SO SAYS STATE SENATOR CATHERINE CEIPS
FITSNews - June 6, 2008 - We honestly can’t believe we’re writing this either, but at a political debate in Beaufort County last night, State Senator Catherine Ceips actually stood up accused our founding editor of being a “heroin user” in front of crowd of more than a hundred people. Somehow, the accusation ended up being part of her response to a question about quality of life in the South Carolina Lowcountry.
Aside from the sixty-six thousand degrees of separation required to move from quality of life in the Lowcountry to Sic Willie’s alleged drug use, we’re surprised Ceips’ consultant Rod Shealy would advise his candidate to go there, specifically after Shealy himself hired Sic in 2006 to help him run the statewide races of Lt. Gov. André Bauer, Comptroller General Richard Eckstrom and former State Treasurer Thomas Ravenel.
As for the allegations of heroin addiction, here’s what our favorite bad boy had to say …
They’d probably find a lot of fun stuff from my college years if they did a hair follicle test on me, but heroin wouldn’t be one of them. Of course, there were poppy seeds on my hamburger bun the other day, so you never know.
Look, it’s theater. I get that. A word like heroin gets tossed out there and people’s jaws drop.
I’m going to have my attorneys look at the situation and talk to the people who were there, and if there’s an action to be filed then they’ll file it - no doubt about that. Given my status as a public figure, they would have to show reckless disregard, which doesn’t seem like it would be too hard to do in this case, but I’m going to defer to them on that. I pay them a lot of money to deal with stuff like this, and quite frankly I’ve made a lot of my money because they’re so good at doing their jobs.
Ceips made the “heroin user” accusation against Sic Willie as part of an effort to link her opponent, former gubernatorial Chief-of-Staff Tom Davis, to this website.
No connection between Davis and FITSNews exists or has ever existed, though.
Acting as a registered agent, Davis filed the initial paperwork for Viewpolitik LLC (our website’s parent company) back in January 2003 while serving as a private attorney in Beaufort.
FITSNews, however, was not created until December of 2006 - nearly four years after Davis performed his one and only service on Viewpolitik’s behalf.
Our website has also been a frequent critic of Davis’ former employer, S.C. Gov. Mark Sanford.
Ironically, after all the “heroin user” allegations and repeated attempts to link Davis to our website, it was Ceips’ campaign consultant who was caught creating a fake newspaper for the purpose of attacking Davis.
From the Beaufort Gazette:
The (Beaufort News) listed as its publisher Liz Craig, a Walterboro woman who until Thursday claimed sole credit for starting it.
In fact, the newspaper was started by one of South Carolina’s best-known and most controversial political operatives, Rod Shealy, who also is state Sen. Catherine Ceips’ top political consultant …
Before Shealy acknowledged his role (in the paper) on Thursday, Craig, the woman listed as the publisher, on two occasions denied knowing Shealy or his company, 2020 Publications.
“Who is Rod Shealy?” Craig responded last week when asked whether Shealy was connected with the News. “He has no involvement. This is my paper.”
Shealy, who has been previously convicted of election fraud, has already been caught planting an illegal alien on Davis’ front porch and sending out a mail piece in which Ceips’ received the endorsements of dead people (in addition to multiple Davis supporters and a local judge who says his name was used without permission).
Ceips and Davis square off next Tuesday in what is sure to be one of the most-anticipated State Senate races in South Carolina history.
UPDATE - Here’s the video of Ceips alleging Sic Willie’s heroin use. It occurs at about the seven minute mark.

Sic, you must understand that Catherine has a problem expressing herself. Although she accused you of being a junky what she was really saying was “Will, you are so hot. I want you, bad, now! Only you can give me what these pansy asses in the legislature are so miserably lacking. Forget the lace and feathers just come down here and bone me on Bay street.”
Seriously Sic how did you fail to pick up on that?
Dadgummit, I hate to defend you Will. But, on the other side of so many issues, I have been called a drunk because of my enjoyment of Scotch and Coors Light. We would fight over the Howard Rich Agenda all day long, but this kind of shot at you is cheap and out of bounds.
Perhaps you should take the approach I take against some of my harshest critics. I ask them, “Do I pay my own way?” The answer can only be “yes” as I do. Then I simply say, “mine your own freaking business.”
You and I can debate political points. But as I know you don’t care how much Scotch I have and still make my own way, I don’t care whatever you enjoy as long as you make your own way. (Besides the Scotch makes the FITS girls look like goddesses from heaven.)
This was a damn cheap shot. No way around it. Fight it. We’ll have our debate another day. But, for today, I support you and offer a toast.
Will Folks is pathetic. If you want to know how successful Will has actually been over the last few years in his career, do a little internet sleuthing on his finances. And on his personal life, do same on his criminal record.
Will got marginally famous as the mouthpiece of Richie Rich Sanford, the worst governor in SC’s history, arguably the worst governor in our nation’s history. The he got thrown under the bus by RRS.
Like I said: pathetic.
Andy Of Mayberry
Willie, you need to put up the link to the picture of her waving her tiny pompom-I need a lead into my Little Miss CC Mad Cheerleader routine!
What’s next, Shealy starting a newspaper in Irmo?
I was in attendance at said politcal forum in Beaufort last night, as I can tell you that Catherine Ceips acted like a feral cat trapped in a box. Her behavior went beyond the pale. Evidently, her 3 brain cells are fried from the stress of knowing she is about to get her ass whipped and handed back to her by the people of Beaufort County.
Perhaps then she will take her poor cuckolded dead husband’s money and return to outer Moncks Corner from whence she came.
You can take a girl out of the trailer, but you can’t take the trailer out of the girl.
Sic:
You and I are poles apart politically, but I love this damn website. It’s funny, irreverent and the girls are hot.
One note of caution, though, please don’t try to give yourself streetcred as a “frequent critic” of Sanford. Any criticism of this demagogue wanabee which has emanated from these pages has been muted, at best. This is especially true when you compare it to the viper’s bite you apply to those you are really after.
Oh, is it just me or is there a correlation between candidates who rate your undorsement and candidates who have Club for Growth (of Sanford’s power) supported opponents?
I do understand your smack problem though. I need a daily fix of Fitsnews….
Will:
Stop making up screen names and posting responses to yourself. It’s a dead giveaway when you keep changing the post numbers and positions.
It’s just you and me here, bud. Except maybe for the bill collectors, sherrif’s deputies, and bancruptcy lawyers.
AG
Unfortunately, I don’t think you can show injury to good reputation because your reputation is already garbage.
If Shealy was planting illegal aliens on Davis’ front porch, I hope he used better potting soil than he used with Ceips’ dead endorsees.
I don’t do heroin, but Will, can you help me get some crack? I’m having a big party Tuesday night …
Be careful Sic Willie - if this bunch can plant illegal aliens in opponent’s homes, they can dam sure plant some black tar heroin in your rolls royce.
Will:
When is the next deliquent tax auction?
AG
Dude, I would investigate every legal possibility on her you-know-what…I second “heroin dealer” - I bet they’d plant that on you in a hearbeat…be careful my friend…
“Andy Griffith” is the new B.I.N…I suspect it may be Ms. Ceips herself!
~Calhoun
Andy Griffith is in fact, Ceips yard boy, err, I mean, “Chief of Staff”, Randy Bates. He has been blogging away like an unhinged moron on the newspaper sites in Beaufort. God, we can’t get rid of Ceips and her low rent posse soon enough down here.
Are you people crazy?!? Will and I were shooting up last night, while smoking crack, talking about how great it was to hook up with a dude who didn’t need Viagra and how great his … pimpfiniti … was.
Politics doesn’t GET any better than this people!!! Ms. Ethel — may I borrow that one? Like an unhinged moron? :0
Agnes, of course you may. It is all yours. Randy Bates: No one can go from zero to CRAZY as fast as Ceips’ poor footman can.

You must see this hilarious post at the beaufort Gazette
Nah, y’all, I’m just a casual observer who usually listens from the sidelines. But I have a specific woody for a rare personality combo: those who are stupid, arrogant, lazy, obnoxious, and self-promoting. While very few qualify, Will is the national poster child.
I don’t know who Ceips is, but he’s gotten under Will’s skin so bad that he’s posted under five different aliases just today.
Pathetic.
Andy Of Mayberry
Andy-
Ceips is a “she.” And Sic Willie’s got better things to do than comment on his own articles. If we have a problem w/ a commenter - like we do with your ignorant ass - we sign it with this …
-FITSNews
Will:
Now remind us again, which campaigns are you running that keep you too busy to post?
She or he, Ceips has you pegged.
Don’t forget to pee in the bottle this week, and I’d still like to know when the tax guys are auctioning off you Play Station and stack of “Fat Mama” skin mags. There’s a couple of thirteen year olds in my neighborhood who share your maturity level, and may want to make a bid.
I’ll say it once again: Pathetic.
AGOM
Ange, Barney called. Your badge is missing. Report back to Mayberry at once! Opie wants to go fishing.
Hey Andy….While you’r sittin there on the sidelines just taken in Will’s daily servings try to absorbe a little more of what you read. Like wasn’t the CATHERINE as in Ceips sort of a gender giveaway?
Aw shucks, Will, don’t get your boxers in a wad, you know I’m justa funnin’ you. I know you’re a bigshot political consultant and all, running all them important campaigns up at the capital an’ all, hobkobbin’ with the important folks and making all that big money and all.
But just so’s Barn and Gomer and Floyd and the boys at the barber shop’ll know too, tell us again which ones of them big old campaigns you’re all in charge of an’ all.
Say it with me, girls of FITS: Pathetic.
Andy G
By the way, Will, I now count nine aliases just today for you. What’s your presonal one day record?
And the congregation said ……….
Andy G Of Mayberry
Sue the hell out of that bitch, Will.
Randy, (get it, Randy, Andy)
the joke is on you and that shrill Hee-Haw hag Catherine you work for. I’m not Will. I don’t live in Columbia. I’m Dame Ethel Krabitz and a native of Beaufort, SC. well, really, it’s just a screen name, in case you are too thick to figure that out.
p.s. I just added the “Dame” cause I like the sound of it. Maybe you could advise Catherine to do the same? I don’t think “Lady” would be appropriate for her, after all.
sic(k) willie,
The BIN News Editorial Staff is pleasently surprised. All this time we thought you were fooling some of the people some of the time.
Andy proves that you fool nobody - none of the time.
Andy, if we ever have an opening on the BIN News Editorial Staff, we’d welcome your resume. One of many things you’re right about is sic(k) willie’s fake posts which stand out like a boil on his forehead.
Odds are Rod, R.J., Richard, Andre the (mini) Giant and TRav (when he gets out of jail) will never hire you again. Can’t blame them.
BIN News Editorial Staff
sic(k) willie,
We need to clear the air.
You claim to be a public figure. We’d agree if you said you were a “pubic” figure, but we will not go there tonight. Moving on.
You claim to be a “public figure.” So answer this:
Have you ever used any illegal drug or illegal substance(s) and/or illegally or improperly used any legal or illegal drug or substance?
BIN News Editorial Staff and The Boys From Charlotte wait patiently for your response to that question. Answer carefully.
BIN News Editorial Staff
P.S. In fairness, check the Statue of Limitations. Is it 5 or 7 years on drug related stuff? Your lawyer will know.
Dang, Will, it must be a pretty might crowded in there, what with your little pea brain and all, and all them diff’ernt folks and all in there, like that Dame lady, and that big burly Biker Man, and that hispanic Gentleman Mr. Taco, and that Russian girl Natasha, and that drug dealer man who always seems to stay closer to you than RR Sanford stays to his butt boys, and Mrs. Dole, and Mrs. Kravitz from Bewitched, and all them other folks, too, I do declare.
Lucky for them folks they got plenty a’ room, and don’t have to worry nary a bit ’bout bumpin’ in to no original thoughts in there.
…… with a capital “P”.
Andy G
AG,
Dude, I am in no way inside Sic Willie’s pea-sized brain. I love the guy, but I’m an independent woman, with her own thoughts and actions. You’re a scheming fool to try and make people believe you somehow know and have evidence that Will posts comments under other monikers.
Get over yourself, and if you can’t stand Will or the FITS Gals in all their glory, stop visiting the blog to pop off.
Maybe you have a man crush? Yeah, that’s got to be it.
I’m many things, but I ain’t Russian - though I’d love to visit some day.
At what point in the “dialogue” did Randy/Andy decide to switch from pointless, moronic blather to pointless, moronic blather with a smattering of redneck/good-ol-boy, and what led to that decision? And when will he and Sic Willie’s Stalker make public their mutual love of each other?
Will:
To paraphrase Dean Wormer from Animal House:
Fat, high, obnoxious, stupid and bankrupt is no way to go through life, son.
Gimme a “P”!!!
AG of Mayberry
By the way, Will, if Natasha actually existed outside your very limited imagination, she would have said, “… with MY own thoughts and actions.” But you’re not smart enough not to write, “with HER own thoughts and actions.”
As my good friend Andy Dufrane said down at Shawshank, “How can you possibly be so obtuse?”
Gimma an “A”!!!
AG
Thanks for the love AG, maybe you have a crush on me instead of Will. First person/third person, whatever. BFD. To say some “guy” (sorry Sic Willie) writes for me is sillyness…And although I’ve been known to author some stuff here and there, I’m not quite as colorful as Will…
Sweet dreams cupcake…
Your crush,
Natasha
Golly gee, Will. I do declare that I feel plum guilty wearin’ your bee-hine out in this here verbal sparrin’ match. Maybe I’ll send in Goober to make it a wee bit more fair for you’ins.
Nope, that won’t work. Goober’d still have to tie three quarters of is little pea brain hinst his back to make it fair.
Maybe Floyd after the stroke. I’ll ponder on that one a little whilst. But I’m thinking you still lose that one, too.
Pee the bottle and transfer some more of your $500 estate back to your Daddy, Will. The bill collectors are on the way, AGAIN!
And while your at it, the boys at the barer shop are still asking about all them campaigns you’s a’runnin. I tried to think of one, but I’ll be danged if I could. Ain’t that QUARE?
Gimme a “T”!!!
AGOM
Great’ goobers, sic(k) willie, Andy puts the BIN News Editorial Staff to shame. He seems to know you at least as well as anyone on our staff.
Andy, the job offer stands at BIN News.
Has everyone noticed the stunning silence from sic(k) willie regarding our question (which we repeat):
will, have you ever used any illegal drug or illegal substance(s) and/or illegally or improperly used any legal or illegal drug or substance? Inquiring minds want to know.
[...] State Sen. Catherine Ceips as early as this Tuesday unless she retracts and publicly apologizes for falsely accusing him of being a “heroin user” at a recent political debate in Beaufort County, [...]
Will, you are the best, the best blog, the best writer, the best political mind in SC…The warped minds at First Tuesday Strategies have been watching to many Mayberry reruns while sucking on beer bottles…
Somebody pass the onions, please!
“Andy puts the BIN News Editorial Staff to shame.”
Hmmm, no great accomplisment there. I think Sic Willie’s Stalker ( AKA, the trashBIN), does that with every post.
[...] by trying to plant an illegal immigrant inside her opponent’s home? And finished it off by slandering someone whom her own consultant (above ) employed during the last election [...]
[...] status quo forces that keep holding our state back year after year threw enough mud to line the banks of the Mississippi at Tom Davis, but the former Governor’s Chief of Staff [...]
