In the list of “text messages” released (I use quotes because, for all I know, they could be made up), Donehue appears to be trying to get Folks to go public with the “story”. Tim Pearson, Nikki Haley’s campaign manager, appears to be Folks’ contact on the campaign. Jim Davenport is also listed as a reporter for the Associated Press.

Reading the “text messages” as a whole do not show evidence of an affair. There are statements that could be interpreted more than one way, and there are gaps in the conversation that could provide context to what is being said. These gaps stand out like red flags.

Personally, I believe Folks thinks (mistakenly) that he is trying to pull something very clever here. But I suspect he will wind up facing some jail time for the fraud he is perpetrating, and certainly a civil lawsuit.

‘What is posted does not state anything about whether what Folks is peddling is true or not, just that it is now known who paid him to sell his story:’

The post actually doesn’t say who paid him at all, it doesn’t actually offer anything as proof.

Folks was apparently trying to use him as a go-between to make contact with Haley. Not sure if he’s done any work for any of the gubernatorial candidates this time around.

We knew Clinton screwed Lewinski and we knew he lied about it. He was guilty and proven guilty. But by the time it was over, after all the attacks on him, the attacks on his wife, the thousands of stories on in, people started to view him as the victim. Same applies here. Keep putting out these nonsense posts/threads that have nothing in them but “look at the idiot Folks”, by the time it is over no one will care did she or did she not, they will simply be disgusted with all the nonsense and vote with someone else.

If Nikki does not find it worthy to defend, why do we need to keep harping on it. And if Nikki does not feel the need to ever mention Folks name, why do we? They say proof will be here soon, lets wait and see? If he opens his mouth, we go after what he says. But until that happens, let it die. Because there are people in here who are still undecided about who to vote for in the primary and the eventual runoff, they see the nonsense in here and the other sites, they do not vote for her and that would be a shame. And this is coming from a McMaster supporter who wants to see Nikki get every vote she would have if this was never brought up.

And who can be sued down to their skin?

Then, the pressure wave deflected off Keith Olberman’s ego, into a path directly bisecting David Gregory’s perfectly coiffed mop.

However, at that instant Mr. Gregory was in front of a mirror in the network’s multi-gender bathroom making sure he knew he was the fairest in the land and Ms. Maddow opened the door.

The resulting motion and airflow compensation within the room caused the fault line to shift…….. taking it on to a path direct to…………. Oh my………

This is too good for someone the likes of me to reveal who did the deed.

I’d better let Erick take it from here.

This has NY Times v McCain in 2008 written all over it.

Anyone have a dart board with pictures affixed of the unusual suspects?

If you can’t be trusted to be faithful to your spouse, well, what can you be trusted for? My general stance is that I will not vote or support an adulterer, regardless of party. John Ensign and David Vitter should have resigned, just as Bill Clinton should have.

I tip my hat to Mark Souder for his courage in leaving public office. I would like to see a culture where any politician caught of adultery immediately resigns.
