What would they be doing with the flashlight?

Looks like blatant nipple-pinching to us. And

by a governor no less.

While the search for the source of the Bauer outing story drowns in recriminations and denials, Wesley Donehue called in some Internet tubes experts to track down a slag job on Congressman Gresham Barrett. Wolfe Reports, who knows from slag, summarizes just what a little blog piggie Boy Fogle really is:

This is fun. So, alleged Richard Quinn & Associates new media firm “Two Lantern Media” constructed “bailoutbarrett.com,” a site dedicated to ripping gubernatorial candidate and U.S. Rep. Gresham Barrett. Per Wesley Donehue’s site, the coding for bailoutbarrett.com was the same as other sites the firm constructed — notably, Palmetto Scoop, Rep. Rex Rice’s congressional campaign site and Rep. Nikki Haley’s campaign site.

This morning, after the site was called out, it was taken down within minutes. From what we heard, Haley’s campaign was thrown under the bus as the proprietors of the operation. According to Donehue’s post, the guy now “officially” responsible said that the whole thing was done, and we’re not shitting you, by “a rogue coder.”

We’re of the opinion that Atty. Gen. Henry McMaster’s consultants are so scared of Haley, they’re totally willing to blame another gubernatorial campaign for an anonymous attack that they generated. After all, remember “TheRealWolfeReports?” These guys couldn’t find their ass with two hands and a flashlight.

We report. You decide.
