Gov. Nikki Haleys new memoir, Cant Is Not An Option, is untruthful or twists many events, a half-dozen S.C. politicians said last week.
Members of Haleys own Republican Party including the speaker of the S.C. House and a former lieutenant governor say allegations against them are absolutely not true and not true at all. Democrats, including Haleys 2010 opponent in the governors race, describe the book as fiction.
Haleys office said Friday the governor sticks by all the accounts in her memoir. The governor stands by everything in the book because its the truth, spokesman Rob Godfrey said. And a longtime ally defended Haleys account.

Memoirs often are not aimed at those most familiar with the writers story, in Haleys case the citizens of South Carolina. Instead, they often are aimed a broader audience. As her memoir was published, Haley launched a national book tour and media blitz. That stirred speculation Haley was aiming for the vice presidential nomination on the Republican ticket, a job Haley says she will not accept.
However, the memoir makes no mention of some of the controversies that have haunted Haley and that South Carolinians will recall, including her dismissal of Darla Moore from the USC board of trustees.

She has lied about so many things, I stopped listening. Anything she says is suspect.

Gawd, I hope the Mittster picks this little turd as his running mate!
Shouldn't the book be titled ' "Can't" is Not an Option? ' Is this some vanity press where the editors flunked Grammar class?
