Fake News: Rainey-Ravenel Debate Highlights and Lowlights...




Okay, maybe this isn't John Rainey, but I couldn't find a single picture on my trusted Google search..... Maybe John Rainey doesn't really exist. Well, I didn't TIVO the pissing contest, I mean DEBATE, between the two. Frankly, I couldn't care less what they talked about , but this is how I think it went.......Part 1 to Part 12.

Part1- Introductions. A la WWF Wresting, Each of them are called into the room by Michael Buffer, and their honorary cornermen are introduced.

Part2 - T Rav Rolls?? For starters, Rainey asks Ravenel exactly what " rolling " is....

Part3 - Rainey Gets Street Cred. Ravenel explains that he would appear a lot cooler if he referred to himself as " J. Rain"... Rainey's face turns purple.

Part4 - Who's Rep. is Better? Both make their case as to which is better - Wearing the Ring, or being "The Kingmaker".

Part5 - What the Dille , Yo? Ravenel and Rainey spend 2 hours discussing the true origin of the word dilettante. Apparently, it is Aramaic...

Part6 - Stuff that REALLY Matters. Who makes better ettoufee - The Adams Mark in Columbia, or The Mills House Hotel in Charleston?

Part7 - Oh Yeah, The Budget... Rainey and Ravenel agree that the impending debt is somewhere between Zero and a Bazillion...

Part8 - More Stuff that REALLY Matters.. Boxers or Briefs?

Part9 - The Conversation Gets Ugly.. Ravenel gets offended when Rainey asks, "If you like women so much, why did you go to the Citadel?" Ravenel turns purple.

Part10 - Down the Gutter it Goes. The two week run of childish behavior culminates with both men comparing their "junk". ETV cameras are immediately shut off.

Part11 - Boys Will Be Boys. With the cameras still off, "Swordfighting" ensues... Records of who won are sealed and locked in a vault in Fort Knox.

Part12 - What Did We Come Here for Again? Rainey and Ravenel discuss who would have an easier time paying off the impending debt. Both decide that they could eat at Taco Bell once or twice to make up the difference.

Sure, this is stupid, but honestly, this whole affair has been ridiculous. Rainey should have kept his opinion to himself, and Ravenel allowed himself to be lowered to arguing publicly with someone in his own party. It reminded of the time Jim Clyburn sent out a Press Release on Social Security that mentioned me 4 times ( and President Bush only 3 times). The Big Dog's job is to ignore the criticism that comes from those under you. Like I said, I have no idea what went on today, but I hope they patched this mess up. If not, I have one bit of advice.........LET IT DIE, GUYS.........

You are right Rainey should had kept his mouth shut and since he did not Thomas should had ignored him. Also the Governor should rethink his appointment and should ask Rainey to resign after all if a republican cannot back one of their own then is he really a republican.

Moye, Sanford is not Hodges and hasn't shown the tactless approach of asking his appointeees to resign. I'll grant that all such appointees should be term limited as are notaries, such that their term expires at the discretion of the governor. Of course you know about piddling skunks and tents, it is better to have the skunk in the tent aimed out than oustide the tent aimed in.

T-Rav found the skunk in the tent randomly aimed...
