Oh, bless my Spanish-moss covered stars, those South Carolinians are a randy lot! Just when you thought it was safe to wade back into the salt marsh after Mark Sanford’s five-day hike along the Appalachian Argentine Trail Tail and the not-so-surprising outing of Lieutenant Governor Andre Bauer, along comes Chairwoman of the state’s Board of Education, Kristin Maguire:
Kristin Maguire, an Upstate evangelical and one of South Carolina’s most respected social conservatives, has been one of the governor’s closest education policy advisors for years. She’s also Sanford’s appointment to the S.C. Board of Education, which last year elected her its Chairwoman.
What else is she?
The prolific author of hardcore erotic fiction on the Internet, according to documents provided to the governor’s office earlier this summer and later obtained by FITS.
Maguire, a professed Christian who home-schools her four children, declined to comment for our story but did not deny that she had previously frequented websites that feature such X-rated material. Maguire believes that a former friend is leaking the information to the media in an effort to ruin her political career.
What a shock. Another holier-than-thou fundie maroon who imposes her "morality" on everyone else is exposed as a fraud. And what the hell is a home schooler doing running the state’s Board of Education? But wait, there’s more:
That part of Maguire’s life is now facing intense scrutiny – especially in light of the way Sanford’s office appears to have helped put a lid on the information being leaked about Maguire.
For example, several sources have related to FITS an incident involving Maguire and [Sanford's chief of staff] Scott English at a Columbia area bar at the end of the 2004 legislative session.
“She was giving him a lap dance,” says a witness at the bar. “There’s no other way to describe it.”
Another former Sanford staffer tells FITS that Maguire once unbuttoned her blouse and hiked up her skirt in front of him to show off her see-thru, light blue underwear. This incident allegedly occurred not at a bar, but inside the governor’s office – at the unoccupied desk of First Lady Jenny Sanford, no less.
Y’know, even if half of this is true, it’s prime material for a Lifetime miniseries. All this story needs is a big verandah, a rocking chair, a tall glass of ice-cold mint julep, and a bloodhound asleep in front of the screen door. Me, I can’t wait for the next installment. I’m lookin’ at you, Miss Lindsay!

lordy, mercy, Miss Scarlett, I do luv that picture.
SC is really juicy these days….all those hot sweaty nights, no doubt.
I’m confused. Is Maguire or Bachmann going to be Palin’s running mate? We need to get these details straightened out before the convention…
“Fundie maroon” is some funny shit there, WT.
OT the FDL townhall finder is not listing Congressman Jim McDermott’s town hall meeting Sept 3 Thursday 6 pm at Westlake park Seattle on the corner of 4th and Pine. I got a flyer for it at Congressman Inslee’s Town Hall.
So just how did Gov Mark Sanford first meet such a woman and what qualified her for the job is what Mark’s wife is asking.
Apparently, these fundies believe the promise of forgiveness is to be used like a get-out-of-jail-free card. It’s all in the timing. Do whatever you want, just pray for forgiveness soon after.
It’s a southern thing. :)
All these GOPers with the sex scandals but no love kids. Birth Control or Abortion I mean what are the odds we have way to many recent GOP sex scandals to count and outside of Mark Foley and Larry Craig for obvious reasons we are suppose to believe that all these GOPers who are all against birth control and abortion are shooting blanks every time?
Just what are the odds X amount of GOPers cheating, X amount of sex, but no girl getting knocked up is there some kind of immaculate contraception?
What was the Bauer story?
Given all the recent GOP sex scandals how much longer can the press avoid asking Gov Sanford, Senator Ensign, Kristin Maguire, Sarah Palin if some reports are to be believed, Newt, Rudy, Rush how many wives have they cheated on I presume they all don’t marry the first girl they cheat with or date after the divorce but none of them have kids outside of marriage?
No wonder the US population is going down there seems to be a lot of birth control and or abortion use by GOP politicians.
Gimee that old time
religionporn!Kristin is a girl but for men well if your rich like Rush Limbaugh having his kid means child support and tons of cash its hard to believe that none of these male GOPers are not using birth control or paying for abortions…unless they are all in the closet?
Here’s a cunning plan: have someone in charge of a state school board who has some motivation to improve the system. This is like putting a vegetarian in charge of the meat advisory board.
And just in case Kristen Maguire reads this: no, I don’t mean that kind of meat.
Wonder what the father of the home-schooled children thinks of all this!
Please tell me we don’t get to hear about his kinks, too.
Issa’s having a town hall too. Shocker!!
Heh. You said “cunning.”
I hope he’s straight as an arrow.
He should have his kids tested to see if they are his.
Lynne Cheney and Bill O’Reilly have also dabbled their hands (pardon the expression) in erotic literature.
Don’t forget Scooter Libby’s trashy little book.
Hey Loo Hoo, please refresh my recollection. Isn’t Darrell I the guy who foisted RFID on us? And isn’t Darrell I the guy who cried like a weiny-ass-titty-baby when he champoined the recall of Gray Davis, who had recently prevailed in a fair election for governor of California snd then had Der Gropenfuerher come in and steal his thunder when Darrel I believed had had the right to the job for himself?
I read a while ago that beer and porn sales are down in this economy normally they are both considered recession proof industries I’m wondering now just how bad the economic crisis has hit the GOPers they are the party of the rich and I bet they had more money invested in banks, insurance companies like AIG, Enron, Airlines, GM, Big Media, Casino Stocks, Home depot anything housing bubble related you know financial ponzai scemes, companies that pollute or in GM’s case they killed the electric car, media companies that lie to us, Casino stocks are at least honest about stealing your money.
I’m thinking that investing like a GOPer has not paid off so well so GOPers are cutting back on beer and porn.
Girls and bears yeah once you write a book like that I would expect you to be fired from any government job.
But heck Darth probably thought that made Scooter perfect!
And a cage, if I remember correctly.
Butt babies never live. Oh, and blow jobs. also. (;>
Any numbers on the total numbers of GOPers writing Porn? Who was that guy who wrote about Sarah Palin winking right at him?
Hey Watertiger did you hear Ms Maguire resigned her position today?
Controversial State Board of Education chairwoman Kristin Maguire has unexpectedly stepped down from her post.
Maguire, who has served on the board since 2000 and has served as chairwoman since January, sent a letter to her 16 board members and Gov. Mark Sanford on Friday, citing her parents’ poor health and the growing needs of her teenage children as the reason for her resignation.

No wonder Tucker Carlson defends him so!
Rich Lowry.
And masturbation porn is so Lynne Cheney.
OOoooh. That means there’s prolly more to snicker at ahead.
You got the scoop Good Catch! I bet her husband wants to move far away. Her Teenage kids they want to move and get a name change your mom writing Porn? Highschool just became impossible for them, you just know everyone in biology will be looking at them and wondering if their Dad is really their Dad just what are the heritable traits they might have got from their dad?
Questions about Mom, Dad and their blood types might be real embarrassing.
The Rs kept saying “what will we tell our children” when Clinton had his Monica problem. What will they now tell the children about the head of the “Broad” of Education prez? And how will she explain to her teenagers that a lap dance is just a sign of affection?
Never read any porn before that that made me feel dirty, but not in the good way before that.
This is so republican.
Sorry forgot she home schools her kids still Church just became impossible for those kids the old ladies in church who gossip they are going to be looking those kids and their Dad over something fierce.
this–after i finish reading sherman alexie’s “absolutely true diary of a part-time indian:” whoo-ie irony!
Pretty skanky, yeah.
The State BOE is very very powerful in South Carolina…appointing someone who is not interested in public education is very odd.
“The State Board of Education is established in Article XI § 1 of South Carolina Constitution. The Board consists of 17 members, one appointed from each of the state’s 16 judicial circuits by the legislators representing the various circuits, and a 17th member appointed by the governor. Members are appointed for four-year terms.
The board is the policy-making body for public elementary and secondary education in South Carolina. According to state law (SC.Code Ann. § 59-5-60), the South Carolina Board of Education has the power to:
* Adopt policies, rules and regulations for the governance of the state’s public elementary and secondary schools.
* Annually approve a budget request to be submitted to the Budget and Control Board and to the General Assembly.
* Adopt standards for any phase of education considered necessary to aid in providing adequate educational opportunities and facilities.
* Prescribe and enforce rules for the examination and certification of teachers.
* Grant state teachers’ certificates and revoke them for immoral or unprofessional conduct, or evident unfitness for teaching.
* Approve textbooks and other instructional materials.
* Appoint committees as needed to carry out the orderly function of the board.
* Cooperate with the State Superintendent at all times in efforts to constantly improve the state’s public education system.
* Assume other responsibilities, exercise other powers and perform other duties as assigned by law or as the board may find necessary to aid in carrying out the purpose and objectives of the Constitution of the state.”

Girls and Bears hey Bill Bennett where is the outrage! Plus exposing an American spies identity during war time thats Treason and the Death Penalty! We need to get Bill to answer why the GOP is so lacking in morals and why they get away with it.
Darth has his company KBR build electric showers that kill our troops but nobody is charging him.
She resigned to spend more time with her family so it’s OK:
citing her parents’ poor health and the growing needs of her teenage children as the reason for her resignation.
Spencer Ackerman is upstairs!
In The World Of Politico, Progressives Are Chimeras And Unicorns
Can’t find a wiki on Kristin Maguire is she even qualified for this job? Or is homeschooling your kids qualification to be on the state board of education that runs public schools.
Maybe “Kristen Maguire” isn’t even her real name.
:)
Newshour discussion of health plans…good fellow from Yale.
I’ve been waiting for the woman in one of these sexual teapot tempests to be the one in office. So now here we are, with the Ft. Sumpter firing coming in SC as usual. (Std. family roots disclaimer)
Not quite a discussion….the whole piece was the Yale health police Prof; pro public plan. Tomorrow the other view.
Electile dysfunction.
Questions were raised about her home schooling her children and being in control of what was taught in schools. Imagine that. Great way to sidestep the erotic literary endeavours. I’m not gonna read either of the two at the FITS site but I’ll bet the erotica of Anais Nin is better.
Gawker spares you the trouble of reading her stories.
From your link:
Gives a whole new meaning to “Boxcar Willie” don’t it? More of those Repub family values I guess…
A David Danzig diary is upstairs!
Did the Washington Post’s Richard Cohen Scare the “*#*!#!” out of you?
no wonder Jenny was so keen to move out of the gubernatorial wh—house… the place must’ve been a regular three ring circus of freakery. Dante would’ve had to add a few extra rings to the Inferno to accommodate this bunch.
They’re pulled off of Literotica, but through the magic of archive.org you can read them (at your own risk). Somehow I can imagine Bill Buckley reading these stories aloud, grinning his head off. I didn’t agree with him ‘most all of the time, but admired his style. I can imagine his sneer at the current crop of ‘conservatives’.
Eli is upstairs!
Occam’s Snow Machine
I must’ve missed the whole Bauer thing. Did Sanford out him in retaliation for
the resignation demand?
gosh, they’re going to have to be homeschooled forever!
hey, maybe she has the kids write her stuff — you know learn the family craft and all.
Bless their hearts, don’t they have them some nice f-underwear down south. Why Suthin’ Caralina must be such a lovely spot.
I see from reading the link that the pen name was Bridget Keeney. Does that person exist? The article also says that the name of one of her Clemson professors was used in one of the books. This might be a tort. I know someone who went to college in South Carolina who had his name used as author of a published porn-book back in the late 1960s who did not write the book. There may be history of how some folks in South Carolina get their fun – putting the names of people you do not like into these books; a sneaky way to smear someone. I hope someone can investigate this further to prove that Moore actually wrote the books since she apparently denies it.
Sorry, I meant to say in last sentence Maquire rather than Moore. Do not know where that came from.
