Jes' Folks

We cats know that Republicans are mean. A lot meaner than we Democrats are — and, as we all know from the bumper stickers, Mean People Suck.

But, wow! Those South Carolina Republicans are the meanest of the mean! And what a mess they've gotten themselves into — again!

South Carolina conservative blogger Will Folks has owned up to a torrid affair with Republican gubernatorial candidate Nikki Haley. Not because he wanted to, but because, he said, someone — or something — was starting to leak it.

Egad! The Romney-endorsed, Palin-endorsed, Jenny-Sanford-endorsed Nikki Haley is.... a slut? And now of course the holier-than-thou Ms. Haley is having to deny it all in a huff. How much easier life would be for the Republican Party if they didn't try to police everyone's sexual behavior.

We cats stand aside in respectful awe (and unrestrained glee). Republican politics in South Carolina is definitely nasty, brutish and played for keeps. And we can't wait until it's revealed that their fey little Lt. Governor, Andre Bauer, is behind it all.
