— Nikki Haley (@nikkihaley) December 13, 2012Thursday afternoon, South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley posted lyrics to an Adele song on Twitter and Facebook. The full post reads:
Rumour Has It…..Adele
“People say crazy things, Just ’cause I said it, don’t mean that I meant it, Just ’cause you heard it, Rumour has it………”
NBC reporter Chuck Todd responded with what appears to be a mocking question.
She really tweeted this? RT @nikkihaley: Rumour Has It…..Adelefb.me/1o655Kjwl

Yes, Chuck, she did. Is there a problem with tweeting song lyrics?
Hey, this might be a good time for a Chuck Todd flashback. On December 6, 2012, when asked about running for president in 2016, Congressman Paul Ryan said that he had “decided not to decide.” Chuck Todd cleverly tweeted the following:
Hey @paulryanvp, if u choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

Sounds innocent enough, right? Here is the chorus from a song by Canadian rock band Rush:
You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill I will choose a path that’s clear I will choose freewill
@magmom13 @paulryanvp good grief, it was not a taunt! It’s a song lyric… it’s called having a sense of humor!
— Chuck Todd (@chucktodd) December 6, 2012
Don’t worry, Chuck. We do have a sense of humor and we are laughing.
.@chucktodd u clearly don’t follow gov’s posts on Fb & Twitter, most of which she does herself, on a regular basis. Song lyrics a staple.

There you go, Chuck. You and the Governor have at least one thing in common.

Oh, and since you’re a fan of Rush, Chuck, here’s a totally random selection:
The hypocrites are slandering The sacred halls of Truth Ancient nobles showering Their bitterness on youth Can’t we find The minds that made us strong Can’t we learn To feel what’s right and wrong
– Rush, Farewell to Kings
