NEW SPEAKER PUTTING HIS OWN STAMP ON CHAMBER …
|| By FITSNEWS || “Out with the old …”
In addition to pushing various ethics reforms in an effort to reign in questionable behavior among elected officials, newly elected S.C. Speaker of the House Jay Lucas is putting his stamp on the chamber in a more literal way.
Specifically, Lucas has told members of the S.C. House of Representatives to do away with the signature lapel pins they’ve been wearing for the last decade under former House Speaker Bobby Harrell.
“He(‘s) dumped the old member pins,” one source told FITS. “Told them to throw them away because he had new ones for them.”
The lapel pins are viewed within the S.C. State House complex (and at watering holes around the capital) as status symbols.
“Lobbyist magnets,” one insider told FITS.
What do the old pins look like?
Here’s one our founding editor received years ago from former S.C. Representative – and current governor – Nikki Haley.

Wait … why would Haley give a pin (three, actually … our founding editor has a bad habit of losing stuff) to a guy she claimed to have “hardly known?”
Anyway, as soon as we get a good picture of one of the new “Lucas pins” we’ll be sure to pass it along.

Oh, finish the goddamned book and publish it, Will. How hard can that be?
Do it soon, lest she inflict herself on this entire nation and the world as VPOTUS.
His allegations helped her win election in 2010 with the SCGOP.
There’s no reason to think the national GOP would not react in the same way.
The GOP voter seems to be kinda afflicted like that.
Yeah. They are perverse like that. Shit, Bill Cosby could declare as a Republican and run for the nomination for POTUS and get it.
Cosby and Haley. What a dream ticket that would be, huh?
[Insert your own joke here]
Yeah, I know, Cosby has always backed Obama. But Obama has not had his back lately, has he? He could still play the “Pull your pants up!” bit for that crowd, and joke incessantly about so-called fake rape accusers and such, and they would all adore him, like the pathetic sheep they are.
The book is finished. Have you not seen the draft? Hundreds of blank pages in the non fiction category. Now the fiction edition, if ever published, promises to be a page turner.
As Senior Editor for Lackluster Library Touch ‘n Tell Books, I will share with you the following information:
We have been in possession of the first draft of this book for many months. We are in the process of resolving with the
author several matters regarding content.
For example, we are attempting to educate the author in the matter of “chapters,” in the sense that each new paragraph
does not constitute a new chapter.
Another issue is the author’s curious sense for the title of his book. We do not believe that either “How to Ball Without a Chain” or “New Uses for Old Friends” would be an appropriate title.
Once these, and other pertinent issues, are resolved
readers will be thrilled with this future blockbuster
Dear Mr Buckley, Jr.
I am distressed to learn that you are going to publish a Touch ‘n Tell book in regards to this matter
In my opinion a Scratch ‘n Sniff book would be the only way to go
Inform him of the difference in meaning between reign and rein while you are at it.
Hey willie – why don’t you send that little piece of hardware to Gibbs so he can have Abby test it for DNA
If Abby can extract any traces of body fluid { please see footnote} and confirm they belong to the Gypsy Queen, then you will have forensic evidence that you were in fact a mother fucker( at the time of coitus the Queen was a mother)
Footnote: The premise is that pins are normally worn on the upper chest. Given past hints that Party A, aka the fucker, likes to eat pie and that Party B, aka the fuckee, has a pie of notable acclaim it is logical that while the fucker was eating the fuckee’s pie some of the fuckee’s pie flavoring could have gotten lodged on the pin – bingo we have a winner
Will Folks got “pinned.”
AWWWWW ….
“’Lobbyist magnets,’ one insider told FITS.”
Yep, that about sums it all up.
Free dinner and drinks PIN!!
Cannot tell a member from a non member without a pin.
next there will be printed programs listing their favorite beverage, favorite drink, favorite car, vacation spot and brothel!
The lobbyist will then know how to treat them properly!
haley would have loved this when she was a member!
Just like the special license tags say “hands off” to the cops.
It’s all about the justus my friend.
Jesus, you saved the pin?
Throw it away for crying out loud.
New pins when unauthorized folks are discovered to have the old ones.
Reminds me of how new series of MPCs were issued when too many of the old were in the hands of the mamasans and hookers in the Nam.
