Ken Ard Saga: An Affair, Too?

Seriously, people … is this the “Jerry Springer State” or what?

Mere hours after resigning his office in disgrace after a grand jury indicted him for a “cash for contributions” scam, former S.C. Lt. Gov. Ken Ard (RINO-Pamplico) is now dodging allegations that he had an extramarital affair with the woman who helped funnel money for the scam.

“Rebecca Parker Elliott has long been employed by (Ard) in various capacities,” the indictment against Ard notes before delving into the specific role that this Johnsonville, S.C. native allegedly played as the money-changer in Ard’s scheme.

But did Ard and Elliott – his longtime secretary – share more than just a plot to deceive voters into believing there was a groundswell of financial support for this Florence County “Republican in Name Only?” Multiple sources – including those who worked on Ard’s 2010 campaign – say “yes.”

1. They need to change the state motto.

"South Carolina is for nudge, nudge, wink, wink."

3. We have 2 mottoes:

The left oval was originally the front of the seal, and it has the first of our two state mottos on it: "Animis Opibusque Parati," which is Latin for "Prepared in Mind and Resources." The picture is of a palmetto tree and represents a battle victory against the British at present-day Fort Moultrie during the Revolutionary War.

The right oval was originally the reverse side of the seal, and it has our second state motto: "Dum Spiro Spero," which is Latin for "While I Breathe, I Hope."The picture on this side of the seal ties in with the motto, because the woman pictured is the Roman goddess Spes, who was the goddess of hope.

They should change it to "While I Breath, I F***"

5. It totally is nudge and a wink....like everyone KNOWS Lindsey Graham and Andre Brauer are gay, but,

speaking of it aloud is 'just not done' in SC. However, if they were Democrats, the same people nudging and winking over Graham and Brauer now would be screaming daily in front of every camera and mic they could find, bellowing about the dangers of having gays in government.

4. I'm laughing my ass off here...

And don't forget we've got Snotty Scotty Walker for our "esteemed" governor.

But it looks more and more one word describes South Carolina GOP politics.

Cesspool.

One of those big ones next to a factory pig farm.

8. Bwahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

I love how, now that he's been caught, he's a "RINO". Remember how giddy the repugs were when they took every state office back in the 2010 election? Sorry, assholes. He's one of yours' whether you like it or not.
