No Personal Trash Allowed


In response to a flurry of calls and emails that have come to the Blogland today, along with a number of rejected comments, it has become obvious that it's time to stick to the position that was taken almost a year ago in response to personal allegations regarding Governor Sanford:


Out of consideration for his family, as well as a desire not to further muddy this state's political arena with more personal sleaze, this blog will not add to the the ongoing circus, and it's hoped others will consider the same course of action.

In the current drama, this policy seems a wise course of action to take, so unless any information suggests that state laws were violated, the Blogland will not entertain the notion of publishing or discussing any information sent about any ongoing matters involving public officials.

Perhaps this will make this blog seem less entertaining, but it's not a question of high road vs. low road, but a question of which road I feel more comfortable traveling.

    Wow. A commentator with no comment. This is new. And, I might add, welcome.

    I feel a little jealous. Nobody's accused me of anything scandalous. Heck, nobody's accused me of even being interesting.

    Whew. Thank you!

    What a wuss. No guts, no story, no glory.

    Mr. Capps, we know all about you and your affair with Jenny Sanford's neighbor and her pet porpoise.

    My own disclosure. I had inappropriate physical contact with Andre Bauer. I shook Andre’s hand at a USC football game not long after I took a piss. I had not washed my hand.

    I want to apologize to the Lt. Governor, to the state and to the Bauer family. A drunk guy at the tailgate party named Leo had “leaked” that tidbit to Unfree Times. I felt compelled to “wash” away my guilt.

    Now, can we talk real issues?

    Calhoun, you know better than that. As long as there is a candidate in the race that Earl is alleged to be their bitch, we'll have some poo flying through the air... maybe not as much as the monkeys at Cromer's Dutch Square location used to throw, but

    THERE WILL BE POO!

    So Earl, is the question (at next month's lowcountry breakfast) "Are you now having or have you ever had an inappropriate physical relationship with Will Folks?" off the table?

    West, all questions must be directed to our speakers. None are allowed to be asked of the moderators.

    What ever west_rhino said I will back him.

    I'll leave questioning the moderators to Cardinal Fang of the inquisition, though I'd ask if you've fallen asleep at the keyboard, accounting for that curious pattern on your noggin...
