Idaho: Sanford

NEWS FEED: 43rd State Blues

Gov. Mark Sanford is the luckiest motherfu**er on the planet

By Serephin

First Michael Jackson dies, then Sarah Palin announces her resignation as governor of Alaska due to the moon being in the 7th house and Jupiter aligning with Mars, or some such nonsense.

Now, if only aliens would land on Earth and bugger a naked Dick Cheney in the middle of Disneyland, people will not only forget who Governor Sanford is or that he had an affair, they won't even remember Argentina is a country.

Poor Little Sanford

By BinkyBoy

He admitted to more inappropriate almost-but-not-quite-sexual relations:

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford says he "crossed lines" with a handful of women other than his mistress — but never had sex with them.

The governor says he "never crossed the ultimate line" with anyone but Maria Belen Chapur, the Argentine at the center of a scandal that has derailed Sanford's once-promising political career.

During an emotional interview at his Statehouse office with The Associated Press on Tuesday, Sanford said Chapur is his soul mate but he's trying to fall back in love with his wife.

What a scumbag.

The Politics of the Self Pious

By Sisyphus

One could look on with befuddled amusement to Congressman Bob Ingles' hypocritical suggestion that the Republican Party “lose the stinking rot of self-righteousness” considering he built his career on managing the impeachment of Bill Clinton which helped form the coalition of religious fundamentalists that seems to be the base to which Republicans most assiduously cater and which furthers the divisiveness of the culture war in America. But the whole Sanford affair reeks of hypocrisy. In an uncharacteristically charitable fashion, Cal Thomas weighs in by noting it could happen to anyone, yet he issued no calls for resignation like he did with Spitzer, nor any prognostications of doom for Republicans like he did to Democrats in 1998 with the revelations on Clinton's failings in his personal life.

Republican Governor Missing

By BinkyBoy

How do you know when a Republican is lying?

Sanford hadn't spoken with his staff since last Thursday. He left the state on what Sawyer called a routine post legislative vacation to unwind.

His absence left fellow state leaders scratching their heads.

The lieutenant governor couldn't figure out where Gov. Mark Sanford was. Calls from a state senator and close friend rolled to voice mail. Even his wife said she hadn't talked to him for several days.

The explanation came late Monday night from his spokesman: The second-term chief executive was hiking along the Appalachian Trail "to kind of clear his head after the legislative session."

So what will be the excuse when he's found tied up in 2 wetsuits with a dildo up his ass in some backwater hotel room? There should be a betting pool on this one.
