us airways nikki haley incident

S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley and her political team were involved in an “incident” on a U.S. Airways flight after the governor was addressed by one of her former lovers, sources tell FITS.

The governor – along with her 2014 campaign manager Tim Pearson and fundraiser Marisa Crawford – was traveling on U.S. Airways flight 1182 (from Charlotte, N.C. to La Guardia Airport in New Jersey) when lobbyist Larry Marchant attempted to speak to her.

According to witnesses, a red-faced Pearson leapt into the aisle after Marchant said “hello” to Haley – yelling at the lobbyist and instructing him to return to his seat (which we’re told was literally right across the aisle from the governor’s entourage). Marchant – who was reportedly stowing a bag in an overhead compartment – was also told to return to his seat by Haley’s security guard.

At one point, though, we’re informed that Haley’s security guard had to restrain Pearson and reassure airline employees that the situation was under control.

FITS has reached out to both Haley’s office and Marchant seeking comment … we’ll let you know what we hear back.

In June 2010 Marchant confessed to having a one night stand with Haley in a hotel room in Salt Lake City, Utah. Months later he signed an affidavit attesting to the veracity of his version of events.

“After a night together of dinner and drinks with other participants of the conference, Representative Haley and I returned to the hotel together,” Marchant wrote in his sworn statement. “We went back to her room where we had sexual intercourse and I spent the remainder of the evening. I left her room at approximately 6 a.m.”

Haley has denied Marchant’s claims – and all allegations of infidelity – but she has refused to sign an affidavit and has not filed suit against any of her accusers. She has gone after Marchant professionally, however, costing him his lucrative position as lead lobbyist for health care concern Blue Cross Blue Shield of South Carolina.

How is the act of placing a bag in the overhead compartment and politely saying hello an act of stalking. The governor’s sexual exploits have common knowledge in media and private circles. Larry Marchant did nothing more than tell the truth and he has paid dearly for it.

Dear Nikki Haley…….

Good Day SC Governess, we find it rather amusing that Mr. Willie is really trying his best to inform our states fellow citizens about pertinent news. Mrs Haley, even though this news is rather old, we find it useful concerning that this news was re-run today. http://militarytimes.com/news/2013/01/air-force-civilian-cuts-first-012313/

We all must do our duty to ensure fiscal responsibility…..we just wonder how proactive workers are going to be in realizing that their take home pay will be reduced and the local TAX REVENUE will be impacted due to upcoming furloughs. Mrs Haley, how would you PRO-actively engage impacted civil servants in planning for this period of “re-structured” monthly income….one would not want to wait to the last minute and be surprised by an executive order or a question posed in a special congressional race in front of cameras!?

Mrs Haley…..can you call up FITs news and ask to be proactive since no one else is in our state..??

Mrs Haley…….don’t let a “NASA” tax revenue rocket crash in our state..!

Sounds like there’s some jealousy going on, look out, Mikey’s outta town.

It would be good to have a flight attendant’s or another passenger’s perspective of the event. Was it a simple hello, or a “hello” (as in darlin’)

I’m sure this took place in business class, no need to mix with the commoners.

Anyone overreacting here? Surely Marchant and Haley, et. al. recognized one another at the gate while pre-boarding. Apparently everyone got very nervous when they realized that Marchant would be sitting across the aisle. When Marchant broke the awkwardness by saying, “Hello”, it was too much for Pearson and he starts an altercation. What a hoot! Does anyone wonder why people compare Haley and her staff to a bunch of high school girls?

I think Haley’s “nuclear ” assault on Monsieur Fits is total fools gold. If this account of the incident is even partially accurate it shows what a clownish clan occupies the executive offices of state government. Who could ever take these pathetic poltroons seriously? The juvenile way that the Governor, and her assistants, handled this encounter is simply embarrassing. I have, for the most part, tended to discount Mr. Marchant’s claims. However, considering the Governor’s tasteless handling of the chance meeting; I am having second thoughts. A truly wronged Governor, or common white Methodist woman, would have reacted in a much more refined manner. Discretion is not our Governor’s strong suit. She would benefit from the words of Scotland’s great poet, Robert Browning:

O wad some pow’er the gifted gie us,
to see ousels as ithers see us!
It wad frae mony a blunder free us

If they could see themselves as we see them, they would immediately recognize why they react the way they do. Those people realize that the next election is going to be a little more difficult to negotiate than an appearance before that bogus ethics committee. Everything the Governor has touched has turned to feces. A couple of years ago, people were willing to give her the doubt. Times have changed and too many bridges have been burned. These are uncomfortable thoughts for Nimrata.

Our Governor, and her assistants, prefer to live in an ego driven narcissistic world where the only reason they are ever questioned is based in envy. The real problem she and her associates have is that this is not the case. They are not good at what they do, they realize this, and at some level understand that at some point there will be consequences.

There will be no second term. There will be no prestigious Washington appointment. There is no job waiting at LMC. Darkness is descending.

much like the abusive student/teacher ‘relationships’,that he denies as ‘abusive’, when the woman is the ‘abuser’,fits shows all the signs of a true victim in denial(these have to be taken on a one by one basis)

fits has focused on man/man stuff,even the thing at the citadel,where guys around the same age are, ‘abusers/victims’

he’s unable to confront his own issues.’wouldn’t be surprised if he and haley are still fucking/or never have,at all’-not that it matters,but that is what this blog is all about..

he is obsessed with her!

he speaks of himself as,’our founding editor’,and has an alter-ego(BigT).in total,fits has identity problems ,or worse yet,is suffering from multiple personality disorder…

Decent people don’t want to be in gov’t on any level.

Think about it, at the bureaucrat level most(not all) have conscientiously sought out jobs dependent on taking money against their will from other people-and they aspire to these jobs because they are “secure”, meaning no risk and little accountability. Many of them like having control over people(tax slaves not employed by gov’t).

At the pol level, most of them are either self deluded into thinking they know what’s best for everyone…making them megalomaniacs/narcissists or deep down know that it’s all bullshit and are in it from the start for themselves.

Sure, there are “outliers”…but they are truly rare.

Most mentally healthy people don’t want to control everything/everyone and naturally seek jobs with voluntary interaction, making them the truly productive of society.

Unfortunately, that also makes them the tax cattle for the parasites to feed on.

This whole fiasco shows how much smarter the Athenians were than us in their application of “democracy”, thousands of years ago:

“Selection by lottery was the standard means as it was regarded as the more democratic: elections would favour those who were rich, noble, eloquent and well-known, while allotment spread the work of administration throughout the whole citizen body, engaging them in the crucial democratic experience of, to use Aristotle’s words, “ruling and being ruled in turn” (Politics 1317b28–30). The allotment of an individual was based on citizenship rather than merit or any form of personal popularity which could be bought. Allotment therefore was seen as a means to prevent the corrupt purchase of votes and it gave citizens a unique form of political equality as all had an equal chance of obtaining government office.” (wiki)

We’ve actually managed to regress compared to them.

Way back during the Middle Ages one of BigT’s ancestors was a traveling troubadour. Arriving at a castle he was greeted by the king who welcomed him and offered him food and lodging for the night in return for his providing singing and musical entertainment.

After a huge feast the king brought out his three daughters who provided entertainment as follows:

— the first daughter sang the most beautiful songs ever heard by the Troubadour BigT

— the second daughter danced the most alluring dance ever seen by Troubadour BigT

— the third daughter played on a flute the most exotic tunes ever heard by Troubadour BigT

Afterwards, the king said, “As is my well-known custom for hospitality, my guests are allowed to sleep with his choice of bedmate.”
