SC McCain Camp Running Blog
We love this story just because it allows us to use this picture again.
Lots of “Straight Talk” going on here. As we’ve been telling you, former SC House Majority Leader Rick Quinn created Palmetto Scoop a few months back, probably because he was bored after losing his re-election campaign. Or maybe its because the Golden Tee machine was removed from The Back Porch. That’s what we hear anyway. We aren’t allowed in The Back Porch anymore. McCain camp only…seriously, no crap.
In order to keep his name off the blog, Quinn brought in Adam Fogle from Georgia to run the site a few months after it was already up.
Now, Fogle likes to call the Quinn’s “unpaid advisors” to McCain, but let’s be real for a minute. The Quinns run the McCain camp. Fogle works for Rick Quinn at his mail shop Mail Market Strategies. Mail Market Strategies is in the same office as the McCain SC campaign.
Fogle admits that he is pro-McCain and anti-Romney. We give Fogle some props for finally telling the truth. But we all know that the relationship goes well beyond that.
Last week we received a piece of mail from the McCain campaign touting his “straight talk.” That mail was most likely printed by the Quinns. So, why can’t we get some straight talk out of Rick Quinn and his face, Adam Fogle?

That Politico story has been online since December 28, yet the indicted blog hasn’t responded at all. One can’t help but assume that the disgraced Adam Fogle is hoping desperately that this “negative press” will just disappear if he ignores it.
Given his constant attacks against Romney and other Republican candidates, coupled with his fawning praise of McCain, it seems apparent that Mr. Fogle is not the independent blogger journalist/commentator that we had been led to believe.
Out of respect to his readership and to the blogosphere-at-large, Adam Fogle needs to explain in detail both his “advising” and financial relationships with both Quinns. He needs to give specific examples demonstrating his independence from Quinn father and son. And, if these examples do not exist, Fogle needs to admit that he is simply the hired mouthpiece of a for-profit political consulting firm.

Pot, meet Kettle.
Kettle, meet Pot.
I think you both might have something in common…
