Blogger Cashes in on (Alleged) Sexcapade with Gov. Candidate
It seems that Blogger Will Folks has finally decided to cash in on the affair he allegedly has with married South Carolina Gubernatorial candidate Nikki Haley.
The truth in this case is what it is. Several years ago, prior to my marriage, I had an inappropriate physical relationship with Nikki.
I will not be discussing the details of that relationship, nor will I be granting any additional interviews about it to members of the media beyond what I have already been compelled to confirm.
Interesting.
The easiest assumption to be made here is that only two people knew whether they actually had an affair or not. One, with a questionable background, benefits by making the affair public simply because the number of hits on his website doubles or triples (meaning big revenue) and by feigning “the details are no one’s business”, Folks keeps visitors coming back for more until the day he decides to fully spill the beans. Also, making a few enemies is a sure way to create a top blog (rule 4).
The other has nothing to gain, and in fact might be losing a gubernatorial election due to it.
I wonder who has been leaking the information.
The shame of it is: Nikki Haley would make an awesome governor for the state of South Carolina. It is a shame that her poor decision along another preson’s need for attention are going to do some serious damage to her chances.
UPDATE: 5/24 2:00 pm – Nikki Haley is categorically denying these rumors.
“I have been 100 percent faithful to my husband throughout our 13 years of marriage. This claim against me is categorically and totally false.”
As Erick Erickson of RedState points out, Hot Women Don’t Have Affairs Ugly Poor Guys (darn), especially when the guy is of the internet troll blogger species. As I mentioned, these rumors do seem to be perfectly timed to take advantage of Haley’s popularity in the polls and recent Palin endorsement, to maximize the number of hits to Will Folk’s website. It seems that Folks just made the whole thing up.
UPDATE II: 5/24 5:30 pm – Courtesy of AP via The Other McCain, we now have an actual photo of the troll, Will Folks. (You’ll have to admit, the pic I chose was a pretty good likeness)
UPDATE III: 5/24 11:45 pm – Locals in South Carolina are begging to tell “Sic Willie” tales which do not speak very highly of his character. It seems that Folks had an axe to grind with Jennie Sanford who is a big supporter of Nikki Haley.
The mood in South Carolina after Marc Sanford’s transgressions in Argentina would make salacious accusations both profitable and damning;
In a race to replace Gov. Mark Sanford, adultery is an even bigger deal than it normally is in politics, and the online national media jumped all over it,
UPDATE: 5/25 12:25 – The pdates continue in a new post: Blogger Will Folks CONTINUES to Cash in on Alleged Affair with SC Gov Candidate Nikki Haley.

She’d make a great gov except for “her poor decisions” as your article phrases it. Maybe her poor decisions are why she wouldn’t make a great gov. Or are your own words too difficult for you to interpret? BTW, did Palin give her a full endorsement, or just a half endorsement?
Funny, a pot smoking, coke snorting President surrounded by his own rumors of an affair, well that is just fine, but a conservative woman who never used drugs and may have had an affair, she makes “poor decisions”. Come on, that kind of hypocrisy has got to be difficult to swallow, even for a blowhard like you.
What’s the problem? It just shows that GOP women can be equal to GOP men, in every way.
Agree! Let’s have more of the GOP women getting even with the GOP men. Bring it on, girls. GOP sex scandals are the only entertaining stuff around now that wll the TV shows ended the season. Who’se next? Palin? That will be a big one.Kay Bailey? Michelle in Minnesota? Christie Whitman? I can hardly wait. They shoud make a reality series out of it call “Girls On Pole: the Political Incorrect Edition!” And you can use this idea free of charge. Run with it!
Is that all women are to you, sex objects?
Will she be entering rehab along with Jesse James and Tiger Woods?
If Nikki Haley did have sex with that troll, and that’s a big if, the rumors that I am hearing are that Will Folks might be the one who needs to be checked into a sex clinic. He may claim to had relations with Nikki before he was married, but I hear his philandering did not stop when the wedding band went on.
With a husband looks like that, no wonder she has an affair. I’ll vote for her.
Brings new meaning to —- guber-natorial candidate if you ask me LOL
—- Was laughing so hard I could not type!
I wonder where Nikki’s husband was in the middle of the night while she was talking to Will on the phone? If Nikki’s husband wasn’t around, then why did she have to call Will when she could have been with him? Will sounds like a liberal attack dog to me. Yep, I said liberal like the other candidates.
If he was smart, he was sleeping during the late night calls. Political campaigns are 24/7, calls, emails and texts do not stop because of the numbers on the clock.
Will looks equal to or better than her husband.
I’ll take the military man over the sleaze-merchant any day of the week.
