If there’s some inbreded ass-clownishness going down somewhere in South Carolina (and surprise surprise, there usually is), the smart money is on Anderson County elected officials being at its epicenter.
Seriously, people. “The Land That Time Forgot” is a lot like Mayberry County … except with a strong whiff of Downs.
The latest example? Accidental shootings of county council members.
From the Tin Foil Hat Times (a.k.a. Anderson Independent-Mail):
Anderson County Council member Gracie Floyd was released from the hospital Friday after what Sheriff John Skipper said was an accidental shooting.
Skipper said preliminary investigation indicated that Floyd’s cousin, Oscar Davis, 58, was inspecting a .40-caliber handgun when it accidentally fired as he was passing it to Floyd. The bullet grazed a finger on Davis’ left hand before entering the back of Floyd’s leg, Skipper said.
Speaking of Anderson County, we’re still waiting for an update on the story of disgraced former public school superintendent Gary L. Burgess, who was arrested for solicitation a few months back at a local park that is allegedly frequented by homosexuals.
Prior to getting busted, Burgess liked to brag about how tight he was with his “best friend,” S.C. Ways & Means Chairman Dan Cooper.
Hmmm ….
Obviously, we’re not accusing Burgess and Cooper of playing the “butt ball” (i.e. a favorite local sport) together, but we’ver heard some “favors” may have in fact been called in on this one.
Stay tuned …

Anderson County can not hold a candle to Richland and Lexington Counties when it comes to stupid people and stupid acts.

Hahaha true CNSYD…how true.”buttball”..hahahaha thats a new one for me. Good to see Audra Shay made Digg. Anyways, why solicit at parks? Why out in the open like that? I mean, what is up with all these closeted politicians that for some reason forget good field tactics in getting their “buttball” on? You know if you get caught as a politician playing “buttball” for better or worse your a target, so why throw caution to the wind? Eh, whatever.I just liked using the phrase “buttball”.

sic(k) willie is THE S.C. expert on “inbreded ass-clownishness” because of his extensive experience pimping for Howie’s voucher clowns.
You know; sanfraud, tomtom and the other “usual suspects.” Our best guess is Howie won’t let markiemark use his guest house anymore. ;)
And sic(k)willie’s “more of the same” foolishness is sure to doom nikkihikki to the S.C. political trash bin.
But nikkihikki and “sexy toes” katherine would make a really “hot” pair in the next election cycle. Have you gotten them 2gether sic(k) willie?

It’s really funny living here in Anderson and watching the ignorance of Gracie Floyd. While I am glad she didn’t get hurt to bad, this is just another example of her ineptness.
If you really read the story, it says she “armed herself, because she felt threatened” (or something like that). Then in the same breath, she said she found it while cleaning her house. What is that about? She lives alone.
But the best part, is that she called her “former” police officer cousin, to check it out. With care and cautiousness, he shot his finger, a remote control, an piece of furniture, and Ms. Floyd’s leg. What a bonehead.

The only good thing in Greenville was the Dixie Hotel and it is long gone.
