South Carolina's Lieutenant Governor (and Gubernatorial hopeful), Andre Bauer, has The Palmetto State back in the National News again, and not in a good way. In a gathering in the upstate he likened public assistance programs for the needy to "feeding stray animals", which, apparently, is a bad thing "because they breed". Ouch. In a January 23, 2010 article in The State newspaper, Bauer justified plans to cut free or reduced lunch plans for students whose parents didn't attend PTA meetings saying, "People in society have certain responsibilities, just like if you don't pay your taxes, there are certain repercussions". Wait. Isn't this the same dude that, during his tenure as Lt. Gov, got pulled twice in four months for speeding (including one jaunt at more than 100 miles per hour) but_didn't_get_a_ticket? Personal responsibility, apparently, only applies to the poor. Well, Andre, this song's for you:
