I think one of the weirder elements to come out of the Alvin Greene story in South Carolina is not the fact he won. I'm not really all that amazed by his victory. Here in Illinois we had two very unknown candidates win the Republican Lt. Governor's nomination and the Democratic, Jason Plummer and Scott Cohen respectively. Cohen later removed himself as the Dem nominee but his victory coincides with what has been happening all over the country-- anti-incumbent sentiment eager for a fresh face. We also had Tea Bagging Cougar
Teri Newman win the Republican Primary in IL-12 and she doesn't even live in the district. Those are just my local stories but there are many more nationwide.
So Greene wins. Strange things happen,
especially in South Carolina. What interests
The Fold Blog about the story is Greene's supposed felony charge he's also facing.
According to "the victim," Camille McCoy, a University of South Carolina student, Greene showed her an image of "woman-on-man porn, pretty much sex I guess," in a university computer lab. Greene then made the comment that they should go to her room, apparently to reenact the image on the screen. That's a felony?????
A bad, horrible pick up line yes, but a felony? The guy obviously has no game and could use one of those MTV Made Coaches to help him land a woman. But showing an adult a picture of two other adults having sex is a common occurrence this day and age. It also goes without saying, if you can't get laid in South Carolina, you probably haven't met Nikki Haley yet. Yeah I couldn't help myself on that one.
