He hasn’t been in the news much because of Michael Jackson’s death and the ensuing media orgy over Jackson, but Sanford has some disturbing quips building up in his name.
The first comes from Limbaugh a few weeks ago who said:
LIMBAUGH: This Sanford business! I’ll tell you, one of the first thoughts that crossed my mind, with Mark Sanford … this is the first thought: What he did defies logic. This is … more than being 180 degrees out of phase because of lust, or love. To split the scene for five days, and we know he’s been separated, and he knows, by the way, that the newspaper in his state has the emails between him and his concubine down there in Argentina, he knows this. He knows that somebody knows what’s going on. He knows his wife knows. So he ups and leaves for five days, doesn’t leave anybody in charge of the state, in case there’s an emergency. This is almost like: I don’t give a damn! Country’s going to hell in a handbasket. I just want out of here! He had just tried to fight the stimulus money coming to South Carolina. He didn’t want any part of it. He lost the battle and said “What the hell? The Federal government is taking over! I want to enjoy life!”
Sanford dug his grave a little deeper this week by stating that he will not be stepping down from his office. Why not? Well, he claims to find inspiration from the bible citing the story of King David. King David fornicated multiple times and still kept his power, so Sanford would like us all think he should get a second chance because a bible story character “did it too”. Never mind the passages in the bible where it says that fornicators can not get into heaven, etc etc. Here is the clip:
Never mind that Sanford was one of the first to jump down Clinton’s back when he had his little white house naughty hour.
Ouch. I guess he has changed his mind about that now… its double standard time!
