Default Another first from South Carolina

"South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (R) will appoint U.S. Rep. Tim Scott to fill Jim DeMint's Senate seat, multiple Republican sources have confirmed to NBC News.

South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley will name Rep. Tim Scott(R-SC) to replace the retiring U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC).

That will make Scott the first African American from the South to serve in the U.S. Senate since Reconstruction -- and the only African-American senator to serve in the upcoming 113th Congress.

Scott's personal story is a remarkable one: While working at Chick-Fil-A, he met a movie theater manager who took him under his wing and taught him the values of conservatism and hard work. Long a poor student, Scott turned his life around and ended up getting elected to the South Carolina State House and then Congress."

Love it! :

I guess, if that's what gets you off!


What's not to like? You don't have anything against African Americans and diversity in government, do you? And a poor student learning the value of hard work and responsibility, and ultimately turning his life around is great, isn't it?

The fact it comes from SC makes it all that much better!


Sure, glad the guy is doing fine, but it's just politics. I doubt you
would have posted it if it weren't.

Sure glad that you don't make any political posts, Mr. Rush Fox.
