Earlier this week we decided to welcome a new competitor to the S.C. political blogosphere, specifically a “citizen reporter” website called The Nerve that’s being launched Monday by the S.C. Policy Council.
That greeting apparently set off a bit of a hissy fit over on one of the state’s status quo blogs, Wolfe Reports, which lives to obsess over our founding editor’s every utterance.
“If you believe the effluent regularly produced by Will Folks’ bile duct, you would think that the S.C. Policy Council is doing something new and inventive,” the website’s editor Wes Wolfe wrote Thursday.
Anyway, before we could put fingertips to keypad in defense of our endocrine system, our friends over at The Cotton Boll Conspiracy decided to respond to Wolfe’s post.
Here’s Wolfe’s tit (no, not that one thankfully) … and Cotton Boll’s tat …
We now return you to your regularly-scheduled bile production …

Brundrette and Ward have good reputations, and they clearly chose to leave their jobs to work for a non-profit organization that — love it or hate it — has always commented on government activities, and I think done some good work.
Wes Wolfe, on the other hand, couldn’t get a real job in journalism, so he went to work for Bobby Harrell. Now there’s integrity for you!
Wes’ bio consists of bragging about two articles he wrote like they won a Pulitzer (ah, yes….the famous “Hit List” story, taught in major journalism schools all over the world – yeah, right!). Hell, I used to cover sports for the college paper way back when. Does that make me a journalist, too?
There’s no “battle” here, Sic. That implies some sort of actual fighting taking place. Wes is a yapping little ribbon-wearing poodle with painted toenails. You’re a pit bull. Snap his nasty little head off!

Time to put all that bullshit to rest; the Palmetto State has only one Most Innovative and Influential “New Media” Source.
By WW said what? January 9, 2010 at 8:15 am
It appears the only time Wolfe gets any traffic to that site is when you link to him Sic.
Ignore him and he’ll go away. You’re his best internet marketer at the moment.

Having worked with Brundrett in the past, I know he is an ethical man. He will dog a story and check every fact and source until he is absolutely certain all is credible. Actually, that got on my nerves occasionally, but the point is I trust his ole Michigan cold heart.

WW-
You’re right, and we know that … we just happen to think that the more competition there is in the new media market, the better.

Hubris has a way of blinding a person, and Landess appears intent on running headlong toward her public execution.
She has been allowed to survive because she poses no real threat. If she becomes one, when the daggers strike it will be swift and brutal.
She appears to have learned nothing from T-Rav.

Please sic who do you think you are fooling with this altruistic “I love competition” bull shit? And please stop trying to pretend you are a real “news outlet” and these others are just “blogs.” It is far too easy to see through your fake olive branches and backhanded compliments. Can’t wait to read about your upcoming drug bust. Just how do you plan on covering that, exactly?
By Enquiring Minds January 9, 2010 at 12:38 pm
Wow, Temerity! So what are you saying? Because it sounds like you’ve just accused someone of buying and distributing cocaine. And what exactly does “allowed to survive” mean? By whom? You? And what “public executions” do you guys bring if someone “becomes a threat?” What’s a threat? To whom? And who do you control to be able to punish your enemies? Are you saying that T-Rav was set up by powerful legislators because he was part of the reform movement?
Dude, either you are libeling someone pretty seriously, or you know some stuff that smacks of illegal abuse of power, extortion, blackmail, defamation of character….all kinds of juicy, tawdry stuff! So why don’t you spill it?
By Temerity January 10, 2010 at 1:17 pm
Enquiring Minds – I’m simply stating when T-Rav swung the balance of power on the Budget and Control Board it became prudent for certain interests to look into his background more closely.
He had no recourse because the allegations were true. As they say, those who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.
I’m just saying Landess’ new crusade makes it likely those she targets will do the same to her. Unless she has zero skeletons in her closet I question the wisdom of a decision likely to bring her a great deal of personal scrutiny.
By Java Juicer January 11, 2010 at 2:11 am
Temerity, are you saying anyone who dares question where our tax dollars are being spent, or what is happening in those cloak rooms at the Statehouse is going to be destroyed by leaders in the General Assembly? Wow! Pretty intense stuff. You say that’s what they did to Thomas Ravenal because he voted against them on the B&C board – do you know that for a fact? Because you sound like you do….
Frankly, I question the wisdom of you implying threats like that. You better watch your own “closet,” dude.

I continue amazed that a tiny group of paid political pimps including sic(k)wille, the SC Policy Scam Council, SC for IrResponsible Voucher Scams and a handful of other blog wackos continue to bloviate, pontificate and profusely distort reality.
Who’s paying these political pimps? There are only 6 or 8 of them.
What a scam on S.C.
We know Howie the Voucher Clown pays; TomTom pays, KombatKatherine pays a little; and HickieMickie pays some. We know one mysterious Midlands’ elected official who is not paying them. Right, bubba? :)
http://www.thenerd.wackos.com (sorry, thenerve.wackos.org) is a sic(k) willie clone. Born in Atlanta by a stay-at-home mom. Bile and scams.
Please, someone get Nancy and Mandeee each a job.
Cagney’s may hire them.

PS. It’s a shame Cagney’s dropped “Seafood Coquille.” It was great. I used to take my club girls there twice a month for dinner. It was their favorite. Before sic(k) willie gets too hot for my “club girls” list; the girls were investment analysts. They don’t like CDV guys or pimps.
