Just when you think your adopted home state might get taken seriously, something like THIS happens. Way to go, Charlie, way to go. Idiot.

I hope they throw the book at this moron.

By the way, the Agriculture Commissioner in SC is not appointed, he's directly elected, so this moron's stupid aura shouldn't rub off on Governor Sanford (we hope). And yes, that US Attorney is none other than Ol' Strom's youngest son--the youngest US attorney in the country, I believe. I don't think Strom Jr. is 35 yet.

(MODS: Do we have to excerpt AP articles? I didn't think so, but if we do, mea culpa, can somebody snip this? Thanks.)

He better watch out.

Our former (NC) Ag Commissioner, Meg Scott Phipps, is now in a federal penitentiary.

He must have been hanging out with our Agriculture Commissioner in NC, maybe the corruption rubbed off on him. Or perhaps I should say EX AGC. She's currently in the pokey with a girlfriend named 'Bubbette'. Our's was an elected RAT though.

Can anyone be suprised that this type of thing happens? I am surprised it doesn't happen more often to be honest. With the huge imbalance between mala prohibita laws versus mala en se laws, its amazing more people in elected positions don't get caught in scenarios where their disagreement with the mala prohibita law gets them into trouble. The solution for this type of problem is to repeal all feelgood and idiotic laws like the banning of cockfighting. Do we really want to use our resources to track down people who want to fight chickens when we've got terrorists and rapists and murderers running around? Do we have room in our jails and prisons for chicken-fighters? I don't think so. Create enough laws, and anybody and everybody will be in violation of one of them sooner or later.

Case in point:

What is that supposed to mean? I'm not really sure it counts - you adopting SC as your home state. It's the other way around ... the state and her people must adopt you as one of theirs.

As far as your comment is concerned about "one of the few things USC has done right," ... I would have to disagree but shall not waste the time trying to explain it to someone who would write something like that in the first place.
