Affirmative Government


In a brazen political move, our House of Representatives has overridden Mark "Don Veto" Sanford's latest legislative rejection. Apparently, in all his executive wisdom, Gov. Sanford saw fit to veto a bill that would allow residents of Richland County to drive golf carts on the road. Sanford's office declined comment, but the Blue South was able to reach Tiger Woods for his input. Here's the interview:

TBS: Thanks for you time Mr. Woods.
Tiger: Who are you?
TBS: That's not important. So, why does Richland County need the golf cart bill?
Tiger: What's that?
TBS: Don't play stupid Tiger, we know the golf lobby was behind the legislation.
Tiger: Eh?
TBS: So how does it feel to meddle in SC's politics?
Tiger: Seriously, I think you have the wrong number. *click*

Seems fishy that the shady golf lobbying group (otherwise known as the PGA) won't give us straight answers. So in our investigative fervor, the Blue South turned to the bill's sponsor and avid golf carting enthusiast, Rep. Todd Rutherford (pictured above)...and he wouldn't talk to us either. The Blue South believes that Rutherford's silence is due to his ownership of the ultimate in golf cart luxury, complete with oversized mud tires, a DVD player, and a classy taxi-cab yellow paint job that just screams "responsible public official." Anyway, we've decided that we at the Blue South place our full support behind the golf cart bill because we feel that the traffic in 5 points isn't slow enough and it simply isn't safe for pedestrian traffic (especially the intoxicated college freshmen on their way home from a night of underage debauchery at Sharky's).

No, you're really bored cause you responded to it. Must have been written after the Saturday night gig.
