Coming Monday …
S.C. Gov. Mark Sanford was provided with highly-sensitive information of a sexual nature pertaining to one of the highest-level appointments in his administration – information that six weeks later his office has apparently failed to adequately investigate, verify or act upon.
“A cursory call was made to (the appointee) but after that it was put in a drawer,” a source familiar with Sanford’s response to receiving the information tells FITS.
Why didn’t Sanford do his “due diligence?” Particularly after it was furnished with salacious material pertaining to a high-profile appointment?
Perhaps not surprisingly, Sanford’s staffers are blaming “scandal fatigue.”
After all, the information is alleged to have arrived at Sanford’s office just as the governor was returning from his infamous “hike along the Appalachian Trail,” which of course was later revealed to have been a week-long jaunt to Buenos Aires to visit his Argentine lover, Maria Belen Chapur.
Obviously, upon his return to South Carolina the governor was more than a little bit distracted.
Also, he wasn’t exactly in a position to cast judgment on questionable sexual-related activities. More than just an innocent mistake, however, Sanford’s critics say this is just another example of the governor’s incapacitation in the wake of the Chapur scandal, and the various investigations and wrongdoings it has uncovered.
How much “due diligence” did it take FITS to crack this case?
Seriously, after receiving the information from the same original source, it took our founding editor less than half an hour to confirm the identity of the gubernatorial appointment.
Anyway, stay tuned Monday for all the juicy … and boy, do we mean juicy … details.

How can he be expected to deal with this AND have nervous breakdown?

Our Funding Editor canceled all of her Monday appoints in anticipation of sic(k) willie’s latest promise of “juicy … details.”
She even canceled her weekly proctologist appointment.
And she really enjoys those.
She realizes this is probably just another willie scam.
You know.
Like his wacko claim a Midlands’ elected official has a Strom problem.
Like his wacko claim that SLED has a “beat down squad.”
Like his attempt to “dig gold” over the grave of a “poor little black girl.”
Our Funding Editor knows sic(k) willie’s scams are politically motivated, bought and paid for, and wacko, but she thinks they’re funny.
Besides, she likes the porn he posts.

P.S. The good news is her protologist, Dr. Seymour Butts, has an opening at 11 AM Monday. Perhaps sic(k) willie would like to take that slot. Seeing a proctologist might do him some good.

I would almost guarantee that it’s Reggie Lloyd. I would also guarantee that this is not a very big deal or else we would know about it already.

The only way SC political sex scandals can get any weirder is if animals are involved – which I hope is not the case.

BIN…for the last time….dont read FITS if it bothers you so. Remember, reading blogs is an optional activitity. This isnt news, its just porn.

I’m soooo angry for having to wait for the juicy until Monday…now I’ll have to make a trip to our campus computer lab just to find out the info on Monday. The anticipation is killing me!
Will the info be released by noon? I’d hate to walk over there and it not be released, yet so why don’t you just go ahead and tell us now and save me the trip?!
Pretty please? With lots of sugar on top?? And a big cherry?!
By Mab on August 29th, 2009 at 6:59 pm
It will stink to make the walk for nothing, Mary. Definitely.
High Noon Monday, please Sickest One? Or there could be mass mutiny.

I guess I understand the need to air this (maybe it’s someone they can’t get to for the really bad stuff he or she is doing).
Otherwise, the sex scandals are a waste of time and money. Takes away resources that could be used to investigate the real sickos messing with kids, etc. Like former Chesterfield County solicitor Hodge is accused of doing. He really needs to respond to these allegations. Politicos here in C’field County are far too quiet about their wheelings and dealings.

Sanford Caught on Tape.
Mark Sanford was spotted in a vehicles trying to return to Columbia. He made several attempts in different vehicles, however he just didn’t seem to make it.

Jeffy,
Our Funding Editor suggests you and sic(k) willie should both take her open appointment slot Monday with her proctologist. Making a visit together would make you boys real “butt brothers.” Ouch!
Anyway, our entire staff feels the love in your posts. Keep them coming.

FITS,
Really – can you block BIN from entering posts? We all understand this is a First Amendment right, but, I think they spend more time reading your blog than they do their own!!! I mean, really, who are you and go away soon?!

After taking a BATH on the Adesso project, USC is about to piss away part of its endowment on the corruption and incompetence that is Innovista and all you want to write about is sex?

By Mary on August 31st, 2009 at 11:15 am

By anonymous on August 31st, 2009 at 12:03 pm
So Monday noon and no announcement? It’s not Reggie…
By Mike on August 31st, 2009 at 12:19 pm
BIN enjoys no First Amendment right to annoy everyone. Please banish him/her/it back to their 12 readers so we can enjoy the peace and quiet.
By SS Minnow on August 31st, 2009 at 2:45 pm
Yeah, what the hell is BIN anyways? BIN, you know you can put your website link in your posts right? I would like to go read your “Fair and Balanced” shit sometime. It must be some really great stuff the way you talk about it. Sounds like a big pile of bullshit to me though.
By Jeffy01 on August 31st, 2009 at 3:43 pm
Hey BIN….looks like SIC had you on this one? sorry.
By BIN News Editorial Staff on September 2nd, 2009 at 10:41 pm
Our Funding Editor gets a big warm fuzzy feeling when Jeffy-bin-Mikey posts about our team. Actually, she gets the same warm feeling when she wets her Depends. She wants Jeffy-bin-Mikey to know she has an immediate opening for a pool boy at her country mansion. I think she likes him. Imagine that.
