Wow , one would think that it would cause him to lose it. Oh by the way Mark we are planning this ...

[Whinger]

He's not the first man that ole helmet head has brainwashed.

[Layman23]

Hmmm so this is what he meant by small government.

[linton]

Yeah! one less person like him out of the government.

This may be a little to Tom Clancy but if he met the wrong foreign national and she (or he) slipped him a truth roofie and he spilled national security secrets, that's a good reason for keeping your pants on.

My dearest tan line lover,

I've tried to go before the media to tell them once again how much I love you, how my heart ache during the day and suffer from night terrors during sleep.... all for you my soul mate......

Please know, as soon as the media frees themselves up I will hold another press conference to share my emotions with the world.... and with you....

Until....

[JiminNC]

I love this photo of Markie Mark ... like someone just yelled out "BEEN TO SOUTH AMERICA LATELY?"

[CR46]

Or he just found out his "soul mate" was a spy :)

[repugnicansfearme]

At what point can the recall begin? Or, is the state too busy with fried chicken, NASCAR, and lighting farts?

[JiminNC]

And just what s.hithole state are you from highbrow?

[rhondadavis28]

so why is he still the gov who clearly can not govern?

[LeftLeanWing]

Because the (R) opponents of the Lt. Governor are afraid that if Sanford steps down and is replace him ... then he would have the power of incumbency over them.

[Whitley2009]

Yea, they all are jockeying for position at the expense of the S.C. public.

[sueinmn]

To think he was in the line up for possible president!

[learntofly]

Scary that this guy has top secret clearances, and not only abandons his state, but goes rogue to a different country. Did his baggage get screened really good before he ran off?

[imsosure]

Well since he's a GOP guy I suppose it'll take over a year or so with the hopes everyone forgets before we get a ruling in this. May have jeopardized his clearance, it either did or didn't.
