From All ‘Round
SOME LOVE FOR US, ETC.
FITSNews - July 11, 2008 - As Sic Willie departs this morning to defend his continental bodysurfing title, we wanted to give you a quick recap of “what’s going down all around,” as he likes to say. Hopefully, he’ll get the hell out of dodge sooner rather than later so we can get back to doing what we do best … in the meantime, though, here’s some random updates …
COOL PICK-UP - We’ve been picked up by dozens of national media outlets and other cool sites in the past, but this morning we got some love from The Big Lead, which is definitely the coolest sports website we’ve seen since we stumbled upon With Leather a few months ago. Hence the picture above of tennis star Jasomething Jankovic.
BAUER GETS HIS SALAD TOSSED - What’s the weather like inside Lt. Gov. André Bauer’s bunghole? We don’t know, but it looks like Greenville News editor Paul Hyde might have an idea. Seriously, who’s the custodian of record for this particular volume of gay porn? Anyway, we agree with Hyde that Bauer’s “Office on Aging” has done a good job lately, but we give credit for that to Curtis Loftis. And to be perfectly honest, we’re hearing that former Secretary of State Jim Miles (who Bauer hired to run his office when Loftis left) is already turning the agency into a status quo home for political hacks … kind of like him.
MORE HOWIE UNPLUGGED - The website SC Hotline has added some additional clips from SCGOP Chairman Katon Dawson’s exclusive interview with Howie Rich. We’re sure there are some liberal talking heads literally about to explode over this, seeing as “Hatin’ on Howie” is pretty much the entire platform of the so-called “pro-public education” crowd. Anyway, you can watch the new clips here, here and here.
COOPER IS OWNED - The Voice has an interesting post today on all of the out-of-state special interest cash that S.C. House Ways & Means Chairman Dan Cooper has been pocketing - nearly $50,000 over the past two years alone. You may remember Cooper as an idiot, someone who wastes your money, and someone who has an “Egg-Tooth.” You may also remember him as bitching incessantly about candidates who get “out-of-state special interest money.”
Well … it looks like Sic may have finally cleared out, which means we can start to play while the cat’s away … but stay tuned, because we’ll be posting some interesting stuff while he’s gone, including another potentially huge scandal connected to S.C. lawmakers’ favorite pet project slush fund … one that could quite possibly be even bigger than this scandal.
We’ll also have a post devoted to one of our most famous projects, the Palmetto Power 100.
That’s right … it’s about time to compile this year’s list of South Carolina’s most influential political figures, and once again we’ll be seeking your input …
In the meantime, A Tooty Ta!

Everyone knows Jim Miles is a political hack. He has lived off a pyramid scheme multi-level marketing for years and now he is back in government…sucking at the tit of the taxpayers.

Sic,What a sweep! You included Dan Cooper, Jim Miles, Hugh Leatherman, and Andre Bauer in one post. Add Jim Clyburn and you would have had the 5 worst politicos in the state.

I usually have a pretty high tolerance, but the vulgarity on FITS lately is a little much.

Dear Scooter,
“Vulgarity” is sic(k) willie’s middle name. His family nickname is just plain Vulgar. You see, he’s a first cousin to “Beldar” of Remulak. He can’t get hits to his pathetic little blog unless he posts porn and vulgar junk.

Oooohhh…I just got back from vacation and I’m looking forward to all the reads.
GAY and KATON filling all of the headlines? What fun. I know it must be rich (no pun intended).
As if it would be surprising to a soul, but fun nonetheless.
But, it will have to wait until tomorrow…or the next day. I’m tired.

Rich sitting in an interview from a buddy… and you you talk about gay things…while watching Rich and Dawson was like watching two gay men swoon over fine carpets….As for the Lt. Gov, come on Sic, you are just pissed you did not get the women he got…You know you didn’t…neither did your FITS Girls…they have to settle for some old bald guy from New York…Howie Rich, even with the money, ain’t realy that Ashley girl in Playboy.
