A couple of weeks ago, I was doing a piece about Tina Flint Smith, Minnesota’s first whore. Having someone like that in the office of lieutenant governor would serve to concentrate all of the power of the executive office\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2026 wait \u2013 did I just call Tina Flint Smith a whore?<\/p>\n

Dang. \u00a0That’s bizarre.<\/p>\n

Anyway – I was talking with a Republican friend about “Take Action Minnesota”, the community organizing group run by that door-to-door, bore-on-the-floor whore Greta Bergstrom. \u00a0The group has been working overtime…<\/p>\n

…What? \u00a0Really? \u00a0I did? \u00a0I called her a “whore?” Not only that, but concocted a cutesy rhyme to set it all off? \u00a0Oh, not again. \u00a0How could that possibly happen?<\/p>\n

Well, I guess it just goes to show you it could happen to anyone.<\/p>\n

Accidents! \u00a0Who knew?<\/p>\n

Or at least that’s what the media wants you to think<\/a> about – I’m sure it’s just a coincidence – a Democrat saying it about South Carolina governor Nikki Haley (emphasis added):<\/p>\n

FLORENCE, S.C. (CBS Charlotte) \u2013 Democratic gubernatorial candidate Vincet Sheheen is coming under fire for accidentally<\/strong> calling Gov. Nikki Haley a \u201cwhore\u201d at a campaign event.<\/p>\n

Sheheen was caught on video at an appearance in Florence last week stating \u201cwe are going to escort whore<\/strong> out the door<\/strong>\u201d referring to Haley. His gaffe appeared to be a slip from the tongue and he quickly corrected himself stating \u201cwe\u2019re going to escort her out the door.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So Shaheen “accidentally” used a rhyming couplet, for which he corrected himself, before yukking it up with his peckerwood supporters?<\/p>\n

But immediately after correcting himself, Sheheen has an almost gleeful interaction with the crowd and laughed at his gaffe. Video of the event has gone viral.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Who<\/span> hasn’t <\/span>had that happen, honestly?<\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I’m imagining a world where the Democrat Party didn’t have a media “accidentally” serving as their Praetorian Guard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
