What is going on in South Carolina??

Having spent time last year in SC, especially in Beaufort (Pat Conroy territory), and even considering a relocation after Kay retires, I am naturally fascinated with the political shenanigans going on back there, what with the Gov flying down to Argentina for a cuddle session....
But now some real fun news is breaking from there. The outing yesterday of the Lt Gov as a closet gay man doesn't count. No fun there, just hypocrisy. No, this story is really good. Thanks to FireDogLake for bringing it to light:
