Nikki Haley, Are You Kidding Me?

Are You Kidding Me?

            Governor Nikki Haley would like to slam the hacker that penetrated the SC Department Revenue’s files on October 10 against a wall. Imagine how much better I feel. Whoever, he made off with a treasure trove of financial and personal information from the taxpayers of the state.  Are you kidding me governor?

The chief executive officer of our sovereign state chose to wait approximately 2 weeks to warn us of this disaster. TWO WEEKS! Why in the world would she do something so patently idiotic; fogof war, ongoing investigation, looking for Nicole Simpson’s real killers (Here’s a hint; check all the golf courses OJ missed)?

Look, I’ve defended Nikki Haley on more than one occasion, but this is too much. No, she didn’t commit the crime. She only left our collective behinds hanging out when we could havetaken immediate steps to protect ourselves. Her excuse is she did not want to compromise the investigation. Well, Mrs. Haley, caught them yet?

Let’s apply this bizarre bit of logic;

“The Governor of SC, Nikki Haley wishes all the best to our SC families on this Thanksgiving day. Oh, by the way, an epidemic of airborne Ebola broke out on Halloween in our public schools. Don’t forget to say grace.

On this December 25^th, Governor Haley wishes all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Also, La Palma’s western coast collapsing into the Atlantic was the cause of the 100 foot tsunami that hit SC on Halloween. People on the coast are advised to seek higher ground.

Hey, Governor! Better warn baby Jessica to stay away from that well in Texas.

This is fun. Let me try;

General Lee, cancel Picket’s Charge.

President Roosevelt, beware December 7, 1941.

Jane Mansfield, duck!

President Kennedy, take the hard top.

Most of the credit card numbers were encrypted. Thank God! Only someone capable of hacking into the whole system could possibly hope to overcome that obstacle. But 16,000 were not and none of the social security numbers were. Why not?

When I contacted Experian for an account to protect myself, I was required to give my…you guessed it…social security number. I informed them that I did not have it handy, but they could contact the hacker. I’m sure he could help them.

Anyone can be caught off guard. That we can understand and even express sympathy but not when the Governor, SLED and the SCDOR left us twisting in the wind for 16 days. The lack of warning from Mrs. Haley is unconscionable. The governor has vowed to continue to protect the state’s residents. Sure! You’re doing a fine job so far. Oh, and we haven’t forgotten about Mr. James F. Fedder. He’s the Director of the SCDOR. What’s his story?

Weknow you’re not the hacker Governor Haley but your silence made you his ally! How could you not warn us? Who encouraged you in that decision? Remember Governor Hodges? He had only one term, too.
