Thank God for South Carolina!

By noreply@blogger.com (John Coby)

Texas may have the highest insurance rates in the nation, rank last on many important social issues, and we have our share of jesters, but last Weds we had a great opportunity to breath a sigh of relief and take a moment to thank God for the republicans in South Carolina.

Congressman Joe Wilson's (R-SC) incredible display of disrespect in the joint session of Congress towards President Obama and Governor Sanford's use of state resources to fan the flames of his affair with a woman from Argentina has allowed South Carolina to edge by Texas as the "Thank God for Texas" state.

More emails from Gov. Mark Sanford

By noreply@blogger.com (John Coby)

As a friend of mine said: Don't ever write something on an email that you don't want spread on the internet. It can be a huge buzz kill, much like the following chat room discussion with Gov. Mark Sanford:

Sanford has entered the room.
Sanford: Anyone here yet?

Newt has entered the room.
Ensign has entered the room.
Craig has entered the room.

Newt: Here!

Ensign: Me too!

Craig: I am not gay.

Vitter has entered the room.
Vitter: I did her!

Sanford: Thanks for coming. As you know I have sinned, got caught, and tried to cover it up. Damnit. I am screwed. Any advice?

Newt: Dont worry about it. Take a few years off, then run for President.

Washington Post: Schwarzenegger saunters, Sanford strolls, Perry clomps

By Peggy Fikac

The Washington Post turned its eye on the governors' dinner at the White House, saying even those who were crabbing over the stimulus package were pleased to dine on beef and scallops with the Obamas.

Since it was a Style section article, no one merely entered the door.

Mark Sanford of South Carolina "came strolling in." Bobby Jindal of Louisiana "popped over." California's Arnold Schwarzenegger "sauntered in."
Utah's first lady, Mary Kaye Huntsman, "sashayed by" the press corps.

And Texas' own Rick Perry?
