Haley site posts no ‘truth’

Rep. Nikki Haley has this portion of her gubernatorial Web site that addresses “Truth in Facts.” Every single one of the posts on this part of the blog is sort of a rapid response to her campaign’s negatives. Having to put up a standing response to expected criticisms seem to us to land into the “doth protest too much” column, but her advisers apparently think it’s a good idea.

One of them is about her expensive flight with Gov. Mark Sanford to China. She said at the time that she didn’t know what section of the plane she was placed into, because she didn’t book the tickets. Seriously, though, if you aren’t cognizant of your seating assignment, you’re either skirting the truth or suffering from a memory issue. Also, it must have been really hard to forget all the amenities you’re offered in your choice placement.

Maybe that’s why this happened. In every other post, something is put under “Truth.” Not so for this one.
