Ramblin' Man.

Um, has anybody seen our Governor? In the unlikely event you haven't heard about Mark Sanford's disappearing act, you can read it here. Well, at least he's interesting.



Turns out it was a woman. Who knew?

There is something pathalogical among the wealthy in South Carolina society, time and again I've had rich SC'ers look me right in the eye and lie, they feel it's their right to "avoid any unpleasantness" or something. When his wife says she didn't know where he was, I took it for granted she was lying.

A friend from Mass. who reads your blog came up with one note I hadn't thought of ... perhaps your gov. was out doing the "Brokeback Mountain" thing down their in Argentina? At this point, nothing would surprise me.

Rich entitled people everywhere. Governors of NY, same as hear. Turns out there was another significant other. Amazing to watch my Republican co-workers (in the Public Defender's Office, no less) try to distinguish between their guy and Bill Clinton. Humans. What are you gonna do?

(and tell your buddy thanks for visiting).

Yes, Clinton perfers his women domestic and his tobacco South American, vice versa with your SC boy.

Meh. Is this the best you can do for a political scandal in SC? Amateurs.

And sad news: Our former first (IL) lady was voted off "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me out of Here"

Star said...

Of course we've heard about it because THAT (sex scandal) is what America (represented by CNN and FOX) thinks is NEWS. Sickening.

My first reaction was to like Sanford better, then I saw how critical he was, not only of Clinton, but of his own party members who'd committed adultery, back before his own indiscretion. My priest reminded me that we never should confuse lack of opportunity with virtue.

John, SC is not bad at scandel, but no state can complete with Illinois (well, maybe Louisianna).

I agree with you Star. My only problem with Sanford is his hypocrisy, not his sex life.

Star said...

Uhh, pretty much everybody is a hypocrite at some point. That's not NEWS.

Space aliens hanging with Elvis. THAT'S news!

Star said...

You think The King of Pop is hanging with Elvis now too?

Maybe, Star. Maybe. Discussing ex-father-in-law stuff, no doubt.
