With everybody in Palmetto State politics suddenly (re)focused on the astoundingly incompetent track record of the S.C. Employment Security Commission, we thought we would share a little wisdom from one of the three former state lawmakers currently being paid $108,000 a year to run this agency into the ground … putting South Carolina taxpayers half a billion dollars in the hole in the process.
Here’s a glimpse of the leadership style of former Rep. (and current Rev.) McKinley Washington, an ESC commissioner, as articulated in a 2006 speech he gave in Birmingham, Alabama to the National Black Presbyterian Caucus …
(Washington) stirred the crowd by saying African-Americans need a “crazy church” with “drunk leaders” because this is a “crazy paradoxical world” that requires a relevant ministry that speaks to current challenges facing society.
“Drunk leaders,” huh?
That would sure explain a lot as far as the ESC is concerned …
