What am I missing here? Why is he still the gov of S. Carolina? Where I work, if I didn't show up for 5 days and then calmly showed up with sorry I was on a personal trip and I used the company car to drive myself to the airport I would be fired - full stop.

I've always wondered how does one get half blown if you can also get full blown.

Hang'im high, Jake, hang'im high!

The concern of Republicans in South Carolina, the first state to secede from the union of states, is that Mark Sanford got caught. The state held onto his emails for almost a year and only released them after he got caught.

And when it's all done the mistress will be long gone too!
Thats the way it works in the end.

The investigation's done and dusted, he's an adulterous, untrustworthy, unreliable little man, who likes to fly off to personal rendezvous at the tax payers expense!

Bye bye Sanford.

Sanford missed the new GOP instructional video: http://bit.ly/24bf6

Actually, Governor Sanford is a very sensitive man. He’s taking the loss of Farrah Fawcett quite hard.

Let's get KEN STARR!!! His LAST novel was full of useless details that kept many frustrated Republicans having to take matters into their own hands . . . .

I've seen people handcuffed and lead out of the federal bldg for taking less. I know of people handcuffed and taken out of their homes for stealing federal resources. All had their day in court.

Sanford is no different.

He elicits the story of David as a guideline for how he intends to resume his status as Governor? As if South Carolina had a Biblical obligation to continue to support him? How arrogant to think of himself as having that kind of stature in the first place. Typical Republican male.

[JessWonderin]

IF Sanford wants to get ALL "Biblical" with comparing himself to David, I think we ought to get on with it and "stone the adulterer" . . . .

[Whitley2009]

Since he acts as if he is a demigod, would not crucifixion be more apropos?

[mychagal]

I wish these ridiculous Gentiles would stop alluding to our Jewish King David. It smacks of hypocrisy. The constant use of scripture with their "holier than thou" attitude is merely a distraction from examining their own miserable deeds. Additionally, none of these people should compare themselves to King David. It's ridiculous and it's desengenuo­us..

[Whitley2009]

Considering King Dave's sexual proclivities, it was down-right stupid.

[devanate]

Jeezus frikkin christ just shut up already. nobody cares.

[JessWonderin]

. . . AFTER he resigns . . . . THEN we can use him to refer to the general hypocrisy of the other "Promise Keeper" - John Ensign.

The xenophobic Republican party must be freaking out more than liberals are over this.

Argentina, and coffee-colored skin. The base must be at a loss for what to think. Oh well Rush will tell them what to think.

[Whitley2009]

Has Jabba the Butt Rushbo said anything about Maria coming back as the poster child for Republican woman in 2010?

[mayan2012]

investigate him. he misappropriated state money to fund his trysts. and the arrogance to think he would never be found out?
