There’s an interesting story in Charleston (S.C.) City Paper this week that addresses the ongoing rumors surrounding GOP gubernatorial nominee Nikki Haley … and specifically why they’re so “ongoing.”
Not surprisingly, the story isn’t flattering to our founding editor, who started the “I (pick your non-specific past tense boot-knockin’ phraseology) Nikki Haley” craze back in May. Words like “unsubstantiated” and “undocumented” (and “unconvinced”) were tossed out repeatedly, with Sic’s mental balance (or lack thereof) called into question.
And yet the rumors still won’t go away … nor will the speculation surrounding them.
From the story:
Jeri Cabot, a political science professor at the College of Charleston, believes that some of the blame clearly lies with Haley. “She never completely confronted the allegation. She said, ‘I won’t be distracted. I deny them, but I won’t be distracted by them,’” Cabot says. She adds that the average person, faced with these sort of unsubstantiated allegations, would likely say, “?’If somebody circulated that kind of rumor about me, I would sue them.’?”
Cabot also points out Haley’s reluctance to release her legislative e-mails as a contributing factor in the continued prevalence of rumors.
“Basically, she’s just trying to play the Bill Clinton game. ‘I won’t be distracted. I have better things to do. People respect me for the agenda I’ve put forth and the competency I will bring to the office. They’re not interested in this,’ — which is not tackling it head on.”
Hmmmm …
Haley, of course, was offered the option of suing Sic – but declined.
Anyway, Cabot had some choice words for Sic as well …
Cabot also questions Folks’ motives. “You have to ask, ‘Is he crazy? Is this just a person who would shoot himself in the foot, or is South Carolina politics so perverted that if you accuse someone, you can predict that people will run to her defense and that will actually be a plus? So consultants are now out there saying, ‘OK, come on, throw some mud at me because a backlash on you is going to be so great that it’s going to help my candidate?’” Cabot asks. “Are we at that point in South Carolina politics? That’s sad.”
And in addition to the questions raised by her tardy, incomplete email release there are questions associated with Haley’s non-specific denials … with some wondering whether her claim to have been “100 percent faithful” to her husband really answers the questions that she has been asked about the alleged affairs.
For example, do Haley and her husband have an open marriage? Can she engage in sexual relationships with other partners and still be able to claim fidelity?
The City Paper has promised additional stories on the Haley affair rumors, and sources tell FITS that one other mainstream media outlet has been sitting on a “very incriminating Haley story” that they plan to run closer to the Nov. 2 election.
According to a FITS poll last week, 74 percent of respondents said they believed Haley had cheated on her husband “repeatedly.” Twenty-two percent said they believed she had “never” cheated, while 4 percent believe she “cheated once.”

I think they deleted one of my comments when I pointed out something hilarious…

“She crossed the line! I wore a brown sundress from J.Crew to class and she told another student that I was dressed inappropriately and that I looked “****ty”. She should keep her thoughts to her self and act professionally.”
Also… Woodard:”Nikki Haley has probably been loose at some time” Hah…
I also wrote something about the Cheraw scandal that went nowhere…

Greetings, adorable world full of happiness and flowers!
NEWS HOT FLASHES!
Nookiegate keeps going because Nikki has a beautiful nookie!
It is not her fault if she is so hot like this for South Carolina!
A magnificent leopard should not be criticized for being unable to change her permanently sexy spots!
Ask yourselfs, fat but kindly peoples of South Carolina!
If you were so hot like Nikki Haley would you too have to face the music of your exceptional hotness, including gossip about the sexual impacts of your Number 11 body for which the scale goes only to 10?
Of course, you would!
It’s not an SAT test!
We have an old saying in Calcutta:
Any hot chili curry will be desired and tasted by all!
This proverb applies to Nikki Haley of Lexington County as well!
So don’t throw stones when your fat body is living in a glass dwelling!
Let he who is not getting any Nikki cast away their angry bone!
That’s one small step for Nikki and one giant leap for South Carolina!
Smell the future!
Palin-Haley 2012!
I can see India from my house!

Face it ……… Darling. With names like Nymphradora & Nookie Nikki, we get plenty. Anytime we want it……and it sooooooooo good.

“Haley obviously has something to hide and is trying to deflect public inquiry away from e-mails, conversations and communications that she has had with some shadowy people in her past. Haley is and stands for the worst in our political system; that is one who is obsessed with winning at all costs and is willing to distort the facts and truth whenever she can for her own personal, petty, political advantage.”
By James September 8, 2010 at 7:07 am
BTB,
We get it. You’re a woman-hating racist who loves She-heen. I can smell your shit-stained underwear from Bull Street.
By Skidmarks September 8, 2010 at 9:08 am
I’m glad she has a beautiful nookie. Her face is butthole ugly for sure.
By Staffer September 8, 2010 at 9:43 am
James, I thought the Republican Party was the party of the woman-hating racists?
By sick of your sikh denial September 8, 2010 at 9:59 am
James, why are you at Bull Street?
By wayne September 8, 2010 at 10:14 am
BTB,
Now that was a buzz killer.
By Staffer September 8, 2010 at 11:20 am
Bullsh@t street actually
By sick of your sikh denial September 8, 2010 at 11:37 am
Y’all know there are several men who won’t come forward, cause they’re married. The will not risk it. This woman has some issues.
By Al September 8, 2010 at 12:43 pm
James, we get it.
You’re a Shi’ite Baptist kill-joy — or something close to it — full of tolerance and fat-back, who would never dream of hating anything.
And dumb enough to address fictional characters. Write something to “Borat” or “Bruno” next time, you inbred clown’s ass.
By sick of your sikh denial September 8, 2010 at 4:23 pm
I have heard that Nikki and her husband have an open marriage. At least Nikki thinks so.
By James September 8, 2010 at 9:49 pm
Hi, Al/needledick. Still have the rabbit vibrators in that loose asshole of yours? Go decorate something, lisper. Tolerant? Sure. What’s the matter, pussyboy? Can dish it out, but you can’t take it. Your mom must hang her head in serious regret when she introduces you to people. Hi, this is my flaming son. Oh, the shame of it.
By Al September 8, 2010 at 11:40 pm
I guess if anybody knows the contents of assholes, it’d be an inbred douche-mutant like you.
But, hey, it’s not my fault if you’re the product of two of your cracker uncles.
That beer-belly on one of them turned out to be you!
Now go cut and paste something you and your 9-year-old cousin slash sister consider witty.
By Pussy Galore September 9, 2010 at 7:18 am
James – Easy…..don’t blow a head gasket. At least not until you sterilize and return PP’s toys.
By James September 9, 2010 at 8:55 am
Morning there professor. Fun having conversations with yourself? Say hi to your half black cousin next time you’re in Hotlanta. Bet you talk about her when you’re pretending to be a polo player. Have a great day needledick.
By Monica September 9, 2010 at 9:44 am
Sooooo………James. Who are you talking to????
By Staffer September 9, 2010 at 2:21 pm
James- a eight year old called and left a message for you: He’s looking for his witty retort.
I think I represent the consensus here when I say we all want you to stop posting and so we can all back to running a train on your sister.
By sick of your sikh denial September 9, 2010 at 3:43 pm
Change course. So, James, who do you think will win in November? Who do you like and why?
By Plaxico September 9, 2010 at 4:01 pm
Oops, crossroad. So, James, considering Nikki’s three openings … which do you prefer???
By Dr. Finger September 9, 2010 at 4:05 pm
James – As I have told you before, you must brush your teeth before coming to your appointment. Curly pubes cannot be unstuck with chewing gum.
By Sicko September 9, 2010 at 4:43 pm
James is a regular participant in the Kool-Aid parties they have out back behind the Haley HQ.
Out back, where other things take place.
And he is jealous nobody invites him.
By James September 10, 2010 at 8:32 am
Top o’ the morning to you. I support Nikki because her national connections will bring $, development, jobs, and growth. And in case you haven’t noticed, She-heen’s not exactly full of great plans to get us out of this mess. Unless you’re into eyeliner and a faux aw-shucks routine. Gov. Gomer!
I hope Nikki’s campaign adopts “Oh Nikki you’re so fine, you’re so fine you blow my mind, hey Nikki, hey Nikki” as the official fight song.
Homo says what?
By Staffer September 10, 2010 at 8:59 am
National connections? Wow James you really drank the Kool-Aid didn’t you?
By Dr. Finger September 10, 2010 at 9:25 am
James – How many times do I have to tell you…… I am not a dentist. I probe any holes I can get into. Thanks for letting me into a couple of yours. Nikki is equally kind, although I’m not allowed near her mouth.
By sick of your sikh denial September 10, 2010 at 10:29 am
I do NOT agree with James, but I DO respect his right to speak freely. James, Haley is really bad news. I hope you will consider voting for Sheheen. I am not a big fan of his, but Haley is toxic.
By James September 10, 2010 at 11:12 am
Yes.
By James September 10, 2010 at 6:22 pm
Toxic like your breath or your teeny tiny penis?
By J. Gatz September 10, 2010 at 8:31 pm
“Toxic like your breath or your teeny tiny penis?”
Careful . . . sounds like James is busy making national connections.

Tonight while our Funding Editor was polishing her bunions she took a few minutes to read this string on to(xic) willie’s porn site.
She fell asleep reading Baldass-Tee-Crapper. What a childish m@r@n.
By Sicko September 11, 2010 at 2:29 am
Nikki can blow more than your mind. Just ask the folks in her private school days in Orangeburg and all the bubbas on back roads in Bamberg.
By Politicians September 11, 2010 at 11:29 am
Hey, guess what the big talk at the state house happens to be???? James was caught in the basement packing fudge with the BIN News Editorial Staff. Numb nuts forgot the toilet paper again.
By sick of your sikh denial September 11, 2010 at 3:00 pm
My cousin’s husband is GOP county chairperson. He will not vote for Haley. He said he and several county chair persons feel the same way. They don’t trust her! That should speak volumes.
By Scooter September 13, 2010 at 12:47 pm
Lots of reasons, I am sure, but the big one is that so many people know and believe they know that she has slept around, with a number of men. These people talk. If this was not true, it might come up from time to time in an ugly way, but would not be repeated by normally professional and above-board people. Simple fact is that she presents herself to be what the “talk” describes. She will not talk about the allegations and the tax issues add insult to injury.
By conservative September 14, 2010 at 11:36 am
When is this joke of a politician going to dabate Sheheen? Pathetic, Haley.
By 803andy September 16, 2010 at 11:57 pm
Women wont admit it, but they like it when there vagina is the center of attention.
By Billy September 20, 2010 at 8:06 pm
My understanding is that she is known as Nookie Haley at the Med Center. My kids just call her Nimrata, her name! Maybe she will be like Ghandi, he was horny wasnt he?
By Billy September 20, 2010 at 8:13 pm
I have also heard Billy Folks, thats the name I know you by, has the smoking gun. Let it out Billy boy! I think I remember her from Group Therapy back in the day, I mean back in the alley!
By OhNoNotAgain October 3, 2010 at 8:45 pm
To boil it all down to basics, Nikki’s people have her playing the rope a dope strategy.
Rope several dopes.
And since the dopes aren’t changing their strategy, she’s floating like a butterfly right now.
