What a day.
After breaking the news of S.C. Gov. Mark Sanford’s marital problems (and since-confirmed affair) earlier today, our website was compromised by an unknown agent.
We’re currently investigating the nature and origin of the breach – which occurred shortly after 2:00 p.m. – and we are also working to restore all of the original content that was posted on FITS earlier today as one of the greatest political dramas in South Carolina history unfolded before millions of disbelieving eyes.
Thanks for your patience and keep checking back …

I wondered what happened! You all left me hanging. I hope you find the culprit(s).

Hope everything works out. Web problems suck, especially today.

one of the days many highlights was tiny lil shep smith asking jakie knotts if the portly senator could “continue supporting his governor.”
i don’t even remember jakie’s response…the premise of the question was so hilarious.

So Will, how long have you been holding back the info on the Gov’s martial problems, and possible affair? Seems odd to break the news only just before the bitter end when Sanford’s undoing was plainly obvious to anyone.

I missed you but isn’t it a stretch to call this “the greatest political drama in South Carolina history”? In 300 plus years of history it might make top 20 but number 1?

Interesting that you were infiltrated at 2, right when the Governor’s news conference was beginning….
You sure it wasn’t just the traffic your stories created?

“Flip,”
We found out about the alleged affair today.
We found out about the marital issues today.
“Mincing,”
That’s what we thought, too, but apparently it was some sort of deliberate breach.
Who knows … techies are working on it now …

hmm, maybe pooper scooper is getting even for you cracking on his crash.

baked, you said, “i don’t even remember jakie’s response.”
I wonder if it was similar to some BS he was laying down that saw air on one of the local channels.
It went something like, “I like Mark Sanford… blah, blah, blah.”
Typical horsesh!t from the biggest BS’er in the state, huh?

You were the first to report the affair? Did I read that correctly? I tried to access this website about 3:30 today and it wouldn’t come up. Now, I know why. I heard the scandal news on The Bridge 105.5 of all places when I got in my car and I kept waiting for the punchline. It never came. Ahhh, now I see. . . that explains some things.

I’m sure it was traffic. Dude, I’ve been promoting your blog every where I go. You were right from the very beginning of this.

So, this site crashed just after you called Joel Sawyer a liar…. but have you checked to see what BIN, Henry McMaster (scratch Henry: he couldn’t have figured it out), Jakie Knotts (scratch Jakie, see Henry’s note), Andre Bauer, Warren Tompkins, Jean Toal, Jeffrey Sewell, Wes Wolfe, Hugh Leatherman, Lindsay Graham, Glenn McConnell might have been doing around that time, all knowing you would be at the press conference? Man, your investigators have a long list if they are going to find all those you have insulted – just since Christmas!

You know FITS< one way to keep people from asking more questions is to say ” infidelity”.
Is that the right question and answer?????
