We're not sure what's in the water in South Carolina, but it's being alleged that another Rethuglican official has been "hiking the Appalachian Trail" again. A former aide to the current Governor, Mark "Gaucho Mark" Sanford, is claiming that he had an "inappropriate relationship" with Rethug candidate for Governor "Sticky" Nikki Haley, who is married with 2 kids. Sticky Nikki denies the allegation, but several political insiders say it's for real.
Adding to the merriment, Sticky has been endorsed by such cultural conservative nut bags as Winky You Betcha and the Teabagger Party. Again, this wouldn't be as much of a story if the hypocrisy wasn't so outrageous. As with disgraced "abstinence" proclaimer and former Rep. Mark Souder, and a host of other American Taliban, the rules would not seem to apply to them when it comes to the morality they love to preach to the rest of us.
