Taxpayer-Funded Wikipedia Fluffage?
Remember the story we wrote about S.C. House Speaker Bobby Harrell’s fluffed – and quickly de-fluffed – Wikipedia page?
Well, it would appear that the good folks over at Cotton Boll Conspiracy have discovered the identity of the “fluffer,” and guess what … there’s a good chance you paid to have the objective text of Harrell’s Wikipedia page replaced with embarrassingly-fawning references to his “laser-beam focus” and the way he’s “poured his heart and soul into helping people.”

That’s why you need to hire a good strategic public relations firm… hey, it’s what we do best.

Hell, the State government EXIST to please these lazy bastards. Virtually all of the constitutional officers have side businesses, or other endeavors that keep them busy and away from the people’s business. Wiki pages are just a small thing these guys get for free.
I say investigate them all and let the chip fall where they will.
And let’s start with a roll call in the house and senate offices…these staffers are often paid for a year around job, but they can’t be found for months at time. They just go away and check in every once in a while!
