Oh, noooos. “SC Gov. Nikki Haley Named As Other Woman In Divorce Case”.

S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley is one of three “other women” named in a divorce lawsuit filed in Richland County, S.C. earlier this month.

According to court documents obtained exclusively by FITS, Jennifer Marchant – wife of prominent S.C. State House lobbyist Larry Marchant – is suing her husband for divorce on the grounds of infidelity.

One of the three women Marchant accuses her husband of cheating on her with? You guessed it … Haley.

“On or about June 2, 2010, (Larry Marchant) publicly admitted to having an affair with a woman well-known to the parties and the citizens of the State of South Carolina,” the lawsuit reads. “(Jennifer Marchant) was humiliated and embarrassed by (her husband’s) public admission and was unable to appear in public for some time. Eventually, (Jennifer) conditionally forgave (Larry)’s adulterous behavior.”

But, she is a woman. So, I don't know if an affair is a deal breaker for conservatives or not.

But, Republicans were ok with Sarah Palin's out of wedlock child. So, perhaps they are extending a bit of tolerance toward Republican women. Of course they still hate out of wedlock urban children.

because they could use it to push their anti-abortion BS. Extramarital sex doesn't spin as nicely.

I am willing to sit back and see how this plays out. I don't have a prediction one way or the other.

Crooks and Liars link to FITS News for this story. FITS News was founded by Will Folks. Will Folks accused Haley of extra-marital affairs with him during the last SC Gov. race.

That's not to say it isn't true.
