Shut Up Sanford: Stewart Begs The S.C. Gov To Zip It (VIDEO)

As Jon Stewart pointed out last night, Mark Sanford is the luckiest man in the world: After confessing to an affair that could kill his political ambitions, several celebrities died (including the King of Pop) and his indiscretions were pushed off the front page...Until he gave a lengthy interview to the Associated Press in which he confessed to making out with a bunch of women and gave away juicy details of his Argentinian love.

"God killed Michael Jackson to save your ass and you gave another interview?!?" Stewart screamed. He proceeded to show clips of Sanford's constituents begging him to shut the hell up, and chastised the governor for acting like a 16-year-old pining after the girl who kisses with tongue.

He suggested Sanford stop reading aloud from his "Hello Kitty diary," saying, "The rest of us are not supporting characters in your erotic adventure."

Hilarious Stewart! Sanford is simply a lover scorned and his ego is having a screaming public fit about it.

For the record, Episcopalians don't have confessionals or confession. It's a religion of seasonally appropriate party food and chipper socializing.

Another one over the fence, John?

WAVING from Seattle!

LOL

I hate to tell you guys -- Sanford is in Florida rehabilitating his marriage. Usually, when politicians undergo rehab of any kind, they return and act as if nothing has happened. They are healed -- cured! Sanford will do this. He will transfer all of his wayward acts and omissions over to his spiritual counselors, and show up ready to continue work as Governor of SC, and then demand that the crippled GOP run him for the WH. He and his wife will make comment after comment on how THEY have resolved all of THEIR issues. However, he will not say anything about all of his acts and omissions that hurt the people and government of S.C. It's an old scam transference technique, and he will use it. It's straight out of the Dr. Goebbels-Karlrovian handbook. He will not shut up as people have advised him to do -- his narcissism is out of control.

It's so true. Once again the simple truths are left to a news-comedian because all the real media are cowards and partisans.

Do you think Sara Pailin was one of the other women?

[mitch93]

Yup, she went from being a barracooda to a cougar. Oops now she'll be after me.

[Whitley2009]

It was Lindsey.

[grandma58]

Hilarious.

The priest wants this story put in the kidfucker file and forgotten

[TheAlchemist]

Palin resignation. Another act of Grace. Will that stop Sanford's singing?

[SColbert]

wow this was so hilarious! Stewart should never take a vacation! Now, Palin made that pathetic speech and he is not around! ughhh.

[Sassys]

Stewart does it again! He is sure to have loads of material as long as the Republicans are a part of our Government...he really should thank them:)

[johnnyrocket]

Stewart's beet batting 1000 with the political humor...where does he find some of these clips? That one of the preacher "he should go into a more silent mode"...gold.

[mitch93]

He just watches fox news, they give him all the material he wants.

You know, it's been nearly 20 years since I almost left my wife and kids for my soulmate - Annette Bening. But I realized the next morning, having seen The Grifters the night before, that it probably wasn't going to work out for us. The point is what I'm most grateful for is that I kept the whole soulmate thing to myself and my kids haven't had that uncomfortable thought rattling around in their heads ever since.

Hallelujah Brother Stewart!
