[Image from blackliberal.wordpress.com]Sanford, Mark. Repugnican. Governor. South Carolina. Joe Wilson's state. The state that started the Civil War. A state where many seem to be confused about how that war ended.
Sanford, a true Christianist believer, got caught with his pants down in Argentina. He wasn't taking a bath. At least not alone. He was "in love" with an Argentine woman.
Instead of stepping down, Sanford took the path of Sen. John Ensign of Nevada and the prostitute chaser, David Vitter of Louisiana, and hunkered down in his governor's office refusing to leave. That, in spite of the fact, that many, if not most of his Repugnican cronies want him to go away. Some are talking impeachment.
It turns out that Sanford's extra-marital hijinks are only part of his problems. Seems that Gov. Sanford likes to ride around on airplanes, rides funded by the taxpayers of South Carolina. He's under investigation at the moment for possible misuse of taxpayer funds.
But now there's another hitch in his plan to beg forgiveness, praise Jesus for saving his moldy old soul and stay in office. Sanford went off to Europe on two "business" trips. On those junkets, desperately important to the state of South Carolina, as you might imagine, he relied on charter jets which cost the people of South Carolina over $63,000.
The first trip was in 2007 when Sanford and two other state honchos flew from France to Germany and then on to Estonia. This year, he and three other state honchos got on charter jets to fly from Poland to the Czech Republic (the one McCain hadn't heard about!) and Switzerland (maybe to czech his bank account?).
Why didn't these clowns fly commercial? Flights were available and would have saved the people of South Carolina big bucks. Well, you just gotta understand that the scheduled meetings were so close together that they wouldn't have arrived in time.
Ha, ha, ha.
Reschedule the damn meetings. The purpose of these meetings was to entice European companies to do their business in the fine state of South Carolina. Surely such enticement was not dependent on an unbreakable schedule!
But then Sanford is just another Repugnican who lives by another set of rules; you see he's one of the "Chosen," elected by God to bring Christian values and principals to the whole world and thus cannot be judged by mere mortals. Well, that's what The Family, to which Sanford belongs, claims.
Barf!
