"have you ever asked her if she believes in Jesus Christ as her lord and savior...?"

That is the question that South Carolina State Senator Jake "You're a Raghead" Knotts claims that the press should have asked one of his political targets, Nikki Haley. This interesting suggestion ... that the press check out a person's Kristian Kreds ... comes along with Senator Jake the Jerk's statement that he "could care less" about being censured by virtually every Republican organized body that has the power to do so for his raghead remarks. Little does he know the true meaning of the phrase "I could care less." Actually, little does he know. Period.

I just heard the other day that South Carolina is fiftieth in pretty much everything .... education, quality of life, etc. I guess Mississippi and Louisiana are slipping.

Anyway, read all the gory details here.
