“I’m selling this beauty salon and moving to South Carolina, Honey,” Juanita announced when I walked in this morning.

“They have taken the crown from Texas for crazzzy politicians,” she mumbles and starts throwing things in a box.  “I’ll end up with nothing to talk about if this keeps up.  They struck crazzzy paydirt in South Carolina.  They are mining the motherlode.”

“The latest in South Carolina?  The Republican gubernatorial candidate, who appears to have sparked with every political consultant  in the state, just got called a name,” Juanita reports.  “Now you’d think maybe somebody would call her a floozy or John Edwards in a Tube Top.  But, no, a South Carolina Republican State Senator called her the R word.”

Lexington County State Senator Jake Knotts is in a bit of hot water following his controversial remarks on Nikki Haley and President Barack Obama.

Knotts appeared on a Columbia internet talk show and used a racial slur to describe both Haley and Obama.

The program is called “Pub Politics” and on it Knotts said “We already got one raghead in the White House, We don’t need a raghead in the Governor’s Mansion.”

“Wait a minute!  Wait a minute!  Wait a damn minute!  Things like that are only supposed to happen in Texas,” Juanita explains.

“I’ll tell you one darn thing,” she says, “if they start any gun play, I’m outta here and headed for Charleston, baby.  That would make them the official king of fun politics.”
