and miming writing with a pen, as though they were going to cough up a tell-all book....?

Apparently, there's something in the air in that governor's office--if they aren't "Hiking the Appalachian Trail" they're wrestling with conservative bloggers in the back seats of cars....?

NOT SAFE FOR WORK DESCRIPTIONS OF THEIR NAUGHTY GOINGS-ON AT THIS LINK!!!

We never took our clothes off that first night, but the physical relationship between us progressed much faster than I expected. After sliding the front seats of her SUV as far back as they would go, Nikki climbed on top of me .....

Old Will ain't the only one, either--the "open marriage" rumors, too, wouldn't be a big deal, except that she's a member in good standing of the "We Shake or Heads and Wag Our Fingers at the Sexual Conduct of OTHERS" Party. Sucks to live in a glass house with a huge pile of rocks that want throwing, I guess....!!!

of the first politicians in SC who asked for it. She has received a significant amount of hate mail from it.

There is no way any of the republican presidential candidates are going to choose her for VP. There was NOT one of those candidates that said it should be removed. Bush said it was "up to the state". The republicans want the racist vote

on most issues we disagree with her, but I take her tears at face values. It is for the victims who were slaughtered in the Church, and removal of the symbol of hate to honor those who died.

What gets thrown into the mass murder's face in addition to his murderous rampage, is the flag he "cherished", is now recognized for the hate it represents, and not only in SC, but other states in the South are following suit. He unwittingly destroyed his entire objective, to start a race war.
