Chris Cato over at WSPA did a great piece on tonight's news showing what happens when we elect Jethro to the legislature and then…give him a bunch of power. It is SO worth the watch.

It's about the controversy over Senator Lee Bright choosing 4 of the Holly Springs Fire District commissioners. Cato links some donations to Bright and stuff but here's a little nugget from Bright in response to one of his chosen commissioners, Ryan Phillips:

The last question on the application asks, "Do you think there would be a conflict of interest if you were to serve on this board?" Phillips circled, "Yes". The application does not ask for an explanation. He also skipped another question related to conflict of interest.

The applications are supposed to be reviewed by the legislators who nominate the board members. When asked if he had noticed the mistakes on Phillips' application, Bright says he had not.

"We get a lot of applications," says Bright. "I'm sure I looked at it. I can't believe no one caught that. Usually (Senator) Shane Martin catches stuff like that. He's very thorough."

Hahahahahahaha. And there you go.

Hand Picked Power

Good job Chris. Keep it up! SC needs the truth, as it embarassing as it as…exposed.
