S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley is grading state lawmakers … here’s your chance to grade her.
We’ve already weighed in on Haley’s report cards (click here), noting that they could have provided an excellent opportunity to hold “Republican” lawmakers accountable for their corrupt, free-spending ways.
The only problem? Haley’s less-than-ambitious agenda has completely squandered that opportunity … which means she’s completely squandering her opportunity to rescue our state from the consequences of all that corruption and unnecessary government growth.
As we’ve noted on numerous occasions, Haley’s 2011 agenda included no tax relief, no spending cuts, no taxpayer rebate fund, no parental choice … and no real government restructuring.
Maybe that’s why former Democrats like Sen. Larry Martin (and current Democrats like Yancey McGill) were able to earn “A” grades from the governor, along with “Republicans in Name Only” like Senators Ray Cleary, Ronnie Cromer and David Thomas. Hell, even the state’s all-powerful “Godfather of Pork” – former Democrat Hugh Leatherman – received a “B” from Haley.
If that’s a reform agenda … we’ll pass.
Meanwhile the so-called “Tea Party diva” has approved record spending increases and has been at the heart of more scandals than you can shake a dick … err, stick at.
What do you think? If you were assessing Haley on her performances thus far, what grade would you give her? Vote in our poll and then post your thoughts in our comments section below …
Loading ...UPDATE: WIS-TV 10 (NBC – Columbia, S.C) is also asking its viewers to grade Haley.

Governor Haley reached out to NJ Gov Chris Christie over the weekend. Looks like he turned her down. First time that has happened to her although with Christie she would have had to get on top.
WORST GOVERNOR EVER

How can a Governor who runs on making government smaller and more accountable, create an entire new agency (the “Department of Administration” – great utterly meaningless name), dramatically increase the size and compensation of her own staff, preside over a larger total budget, not achieve a single tax decrease, borrow millions more from the Feds that we can’t pay back, go on a taxpayer funded boondoggle to Paris, lie about how much it cost and what got done — and then not be held accountable for anything?
“F”

Get to work and quit handing out bullshit grades. What a publicity stunt/whore this woman is!
By Bogart October 4, 2011 at 5:38 pm
Well Haley is on her comedy tour at Huffington Post again.What an asset she is to her state.Now if someone snapped some pictures of Sanford and soulmate when he came out of his cacoon last week for their booty call this will be another great week in SC.

You need to add an F minus on the list of answers!!
By snodgrass October 4, 2011 at 6:14 pm
The governor’s political henpecking will be her downfall. The voters will issue grades of their own when the next election rolls around, and all they use is the pass/fail system.
By ChodeSlap October 4, 2011 at 7:26 pm
A – Awesome A cup breasts
B – Borderline Super Model
C – Creating Jobs Left and Right
D – Democrat Smasher!
F – Fantastically Sexy
You go girl!
By DaisyDeadhead October 4, 2011 at 7:31 pm
A – Almost ready for prime time
B – But not yet
C – Don’t make me say what C stands for
D – Designer clothes don’t make you a politician
F – Fascist

She doesn’t need to travel the state at taxpayer expense for this meaningless publicity stunt. She can call the media and they will air this BS for free. What a waste of taxpayer money. She and her staff are such an embarrassment
By BradWarthenSucks Sucks October 4, 2011 at 7:33 pm
I graded her out with a “D” because she is still breathing.
By Eyes Wide Shut October 4, 2011 at 7:42 pm
She’s only been in office less than a year; maybe she will learn from her mistakes? Solid D.
Bogart, Even the spectacle of Sanford and Chapur doing pre cana, quoting their catechism, choosing their wedding vows, and negotiating their pre-nup CANNOT distract us from Haley’s poor performance. Perhaps now that he has re-committed to God’s service as primary in his life, he might include her in his prayers.

So let me get this straight- Haley is issuing report cards on state legislators, but the grades are on how well they support her, not on how well they perform the duties of their office?
Do you really need any more proof that Nikki Haley is in politics for one reason- Nikki Haley herself.
By jimlewis,owb October 4, 2011 at 8:56 pm
I think Governor Haley is doing a great job. State Government looks to be running smoothly. State employees appear to be satisfied with their new Directors. Revenue is up, spending is down. Accountability and Transparency have never been more evident.
I would have to grade the Governor A+ and wish her God’s Speed as she moves forward with the taxpayer’s best interest as her sole objective.
Now, pass me that bottle of sulfuric acid where I can wash my mouth out.

JimLewis, apparently you have not talked to a state employee in a long time.

Mrs. White our Senior English Teacher constantly challenged students to push our fucking little pea brains and try a variety of written formats.
It would appear that my feeble attempt at a little literary irony missed its mark by a fucking mile. Take a second and go read the fucking last line again.
Just a hint. The last line nullified the first two paragraphs which were and are 169% Buffalo Shit.

My morning just got better with that response, owb.

Doesn’t anyone understand that she is just a child who wants attention. Wheather it’s positive or negative, it’s still attention. This shows just how insecure she is. Some children never ever grow up.

History is amazing. During British rule, Amritsar was part of the Pakistani Lahore Division and was administratively divided into three tehsils namely- Amritsar and Ajnala. Tarn Taran was formed into a district headquarters. However, as part of the petition of India in 1947, Amritsar district was awarded to India. 1947 marked a huge Sikh migration to what is now present day India. Since Haley’s parents claim to to be from from Amritsar and they were born in the 1930s, which is of course prior to 1947, would they be considered Pakistani born? Just wondering.

The firing of Darla Moore and then the turn down of the Federal Education money for no reason whatsoever tells me all I needed to know about this one.
Fail. Massive Fail. Resign now. F- and should be expelled.
By Mr. Dixie October 5, 2011 at 2:04 pm
What do you expect, Sanford trained her. Soon she will bring some little piglets to work with her with her report cards. I wonder who will choose her for a VP.
By Sick of Pandering October 5, 2011 at 5:15 pm
Is there anything lower than F? Failing seems to be very kind in light of the fact that she is destroying the state!
By Fuck, fuck, fucking fuck October 5, 2011 at 6:17 pm
S for skank ass skanking ho.
N for Nimrata we want no mo
O for my open mouth
G for my gagging
By Scooter October 5, 2011 at 8:25 pm
F across the board. The only exception might be in the sex department. I wouldn’t know, but there are lots of guys who do know for sure. Let’s ask them. Raise your hand if you have had sex with that woman……
