Boggled

The South Carolina Republican Party Executive Committee has reinstated a state senate candidate to run in the June primary against an incumbent who is believed to be behind a legal effort to have his opponent and nearly 200 others statewide removed from the ballot. Never without political drama, the reinstatement comes with a contrived controversy about a videotape.

South Carolina’s Village Idiot

South Carolina State Senator Jake Knotts is an nfortunate throwback to the days when plantation politics and back-slapping cronies governed through deals made in smoke-filled rooms.  To pick the most ignorant thing this fool has said or done would be like picking which star in the universe is the hottest.  With the help of Buzzfeed, here’s a leading contender for “Jake Knotts’ Greatest (#)hits.”

Barack Obama has long supported “induced labor abortion.”  In this procedure, a pregnant woman in the final stages – hours, even – of pregnancy is chemically/medically induced to deliver.  Often, the fully formed infant is taken to a “soiled utility room” and left, unattended, to die.
