Another crack in the SC conservative Borg

The Conservativist is irked by Boy Fogle, who apparently got some network air time slagging Governor Sanford's Agatha Christie disappearance:

Apparently Reagan’s 11th commandment is gone completely out the window.

The Palmetto Scoop’s Adam Fogle took to the national airwaves today on CNN and took shots at Governor Sanford.

“…he has this pattern of somewhat erratic behavior, this I would say raises the bar on all of that.”

Now I realize Sanford has made a huge mistake in this weekend getaway, but to go on the air and comment that the Governor has a pattern of erratic behavior is absurd.

The Indigo Journal had made a similar reference earlier in the day and I don’t know the question that Fogle was asked on CNN, but it definitely appears that some individuals in this state are working to destroy the Governor and any vested interest or hope he may have to run for President.

But just as politics in South Carolina goes, someone has to be destroyed.

I guess Sanford’s recent loss in the stimulus battle was not enough tarnish for Fogle who supported taking the stimulus money. If I remember correctly, Fogle even created a commercial urging the governor to take the stimulus money.

We want to ask you, what exactly is Fogle trying to accomplish by humiliating the governor?

What, indeed?

The Conservativist is spot-on when he says the prevailing ethos of the Republican blogdom in SC is the destruction of opponents. Which, from the point of view of one peering into, rather than being, in the Old Confederacy & Buffalo Commons shark tank, is kind of fun to watch.

But you gotta take into account, TC, that for Boy Fogle media attention is his entire reason for existing. It takes the place of sex.

And, sure enough, here's Boy Fogle, in his butchiest voice, "earning media" on CNN (and, interestingly, cribbing Waldo's comments about how much one writes while hiking, and how the Appalachian Trail is 72 (not 150, nitwit) miles from Atlanta.

Fogle added a post wondering if the Governor was taking part in National Naked Hiking Day, which gives him an opportunity to get all sniffy and Baptisty about public nudity and at the same time fantasize about naked men.
