More about the Yule Goat
Mark Sanford needs to resign now. And if he doesn't resign, let's see if the South Carolina legislature will live up to their end of responsibility by impeaching this self-righteous, faux Christian, wife cheating low-life!
I understand that people make mistakes and don't always behave in a moral way. But, what I DO resent is that Republicans berate any one not adhering to rigid "Christian Values", when they are as guilty as anyone for behaving inappropriately. They just have the convenient fallback response that because they are christian they will be forgiven. Disgusting.
Marriage is sacred and must only be between a man and a woman and his Bible study group.
"I saw her three times during the, the whole sparking thang."
Woo, he blew off governance of a state, his marriage, and his family on Father's Day, for three bouts, at best, of intercourse.
But gays aren't responsible enough to marry.
They were taking $5.00 bets on Dailykos,to see how long before they did it and a lot of people won.Kos has a Diary up
on this.
Senator Craig should had resigned, or at least been kicked out or censured by the Senate. Vitter was just being a creep. The difference between Vitter and Spitzer was the paper trail. Vitter could had easily been indicted if there were better records of his connection to the call girl ring besides his phone number with the madam.
Ensign may have to resign if these potential lawsuits against him by the Hamptons are very damaging. Firing an employee or making them leave because the ending of an affair is not good.
It was probably good that his call girl history came out, because he was a potential candidate for US Attorney General whether Clinton or Obama became President.
It would had been a nightmare for Spitzer to try to govern with criminal indictments hanging over him, The Feds had him over a barrel, with the wiretaps and money trail.
This is all just too, too delicious!
CARIBOU & JINDALOO in
TWO THOUSAND ONE TWO
the other woman was Liddy Dole.
joking of course... it was Michelle Bachman, the second car was because she was planning on driving to Argentina.
gays aren't human enough to even marry in the first place.
can we just end the "family values" bullsh*t hypocracy right now? seriously, there is no such thing. both sides--D and R and fallible human beings who end up catering to their desires. no more of this "holier than thou" garbage, especially from the R's
and to go throw this whole "hiking" charade for a piece of tail. at least spitzer had the cojones to go to a pro--a pro will keep their damn mouth shut, that's why you pay them (to paraphrase Sheen, C.)
Y'know how Rush likes to talk -
And if he doesn't resign, let's see if the South Carolina legislature will live up to their end of responsibility by impeaching this self-righteous, faux Christian, wife cheating low-life!
EVERYONE who defends marriage between a man and woman yet does not live to that should be exposed as frauds.
f-ing hets are screwing marriage to hell!
ps. nice tan, mark. boehner's jealous.
you screw your wife over? fine, she gets half.
how many faces would turn ghost white?
why isnt he resigning as Governor?
so much for that. hes toast.
And the MSM will revive the creepy governor as a talking head for "balance."
Lt Gov. Bauer was born in Charleston on March 20, 1969. He is the son of William R. Bauer and Saundrea Jill Bauer, and is a graduate of both Irmo High School and the University of South Carolina, where he was a Varsity Male Cheerleader and a member of the Rho-Omega chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon Fraternity.
Does anybody else think what I'm thinking?
Where do I apply to be the second lady of South Carolina?
Sanford said marriage should be defined as one man and one woman.
Sanford voted yes on an amendment banning adoptions in District of Columbia by gays or other individuals who are not related by blood or marriage.
He strongly favors prayer in public schools.
He believes drug use is immoral
In short: HYPOCRITE
You've gotta love it -- Ensign, now Sanford. How many more "family values We Must Be Protect Marriage" of these buffons do we have to tolerate yet before these IDIOT REPUBLICONS GET IT?
ROFLMAO!
I am STILL LAUGHING about this -- and it's now been over an hour ago since I first heard about it.
I can't put my finger on it....but there is something just not right.
There is either other kids envolved.....
something....
This is way beyond just an extramartial affair...
Why does this not surprise me.
I just hope people in this country wake up to the fact that repulicons are LIARS and they need to get rid of them.
If S(H)e exists S(H)e has a fine sense of humo(u)r!
Are we sure it was a woman?
WTF.. affairs and adultery are bipartisan but its the HYPOCRISY.. The guy, as well as other republicans talk about morality and christian values and try injecting those into the culture and that's the issue.. I never heard eliot spitzer talk about the abomination of homsexuality or god's law or christian law, but these adulterering philandering republicans, cheat and lie all the while they are trashing gays, and other minorities.
SHameful!!!!
If you talk the talk you better freaking walk the walk or shut the F*** up!!.. If you want to unzip your pants, all good, then stay out of judging my life and restricting my rights
You are 100% right. Just listen to the talking heads swoon about what a stand up guy Sanford is, how admired he is for coming forward, etc... I think he spent 5 days getting schooled in how to win friends when you're exposed as another Republican lying f&%^ing fraud. And it's working! This is the major Media's Gomer Pyle moment in South Carolina.
Downside... Palin can now wipe Mark Sanford away as a potential 2012 contender.
I actually have a little sympathy for the guy, given Portenas are very tempting, but he already has a family in a bible belt state, and there is no way he is going to get away with this.
Also admitting this now in public is basically a nice embarrassment to his wife who tried to cover for him.
Is anybody else hearing strains of Evita in the background?
The truth is he never left her . . .
Men and women have to in the end be themselves not what others want them to be!
Maybe he did just that!
"Amor de lejos, es amor de pendejos!"
I know a guy's pecker can make your mind do crazy things....
but......
He was like a scared puppy up there speaking.
Even Larry Craig had more composer that this guy.
you don't disappear for a week, over FATHER'S DAY to prove how strong your marriage is. that was essentially a big f-you to his wife and family.
he knew he was going there, over a family holiday, to screw his 'friend'... this guy's relationship is toast.
one other thing (not shown in the short version of the interview), someone asked if he ended it... he didn't say yes.
This is just too hilarious, I just wish all of this happened in 2000, so our great country wouldn't be in such the mess it is in now because of the Republicans.
Perhaps his Portena hotties is a secret Obama agent, who is knocking off all his potential 2012 rivals?
Do you actually think he gave a truthful news conference?
WHY would you NOT be with your kids on Father's Day?
There is much much more to this story.
Or is he simply controlled by his dick?
If you watched the press conference, you would have seen a guy who looked contrite and straight-forward. I suppose there might be more to the story but I'm not sure what else you think he's covering up.
My point though is not that he was honest by enumerating every one of his life's sins, but that he came right out and owned up to a couple serious and embarrassing ones. And sadly, that's not something politicians are good at.
#1 The best liars are the ones who believe it as they say it yet are just as quick to do a 180 degree turn.
#2 The guy has JUST DONE a 180 degree turn because
#3 He is only doing this because he GOT CAUGHT,
#(All of them together) The proof of his sincerity is denied by the timing - so soon and so forced upon him, and the very fact he can be so certain in his course, that is so different than his previous course, is rather inhuman. Or better: insane.
He is rationally, "honestly" describing a situation where just a few days ago he had been acting rashly, impulsively, irresponsibly and immorally - does this make him more rational, less impulsive, more responsible now? 24 hours or so later??
NO.
Therefore, performance - very very good performance - to the contrary, he must be a big fat liar, and somewhat of a sociopath because of his facility with the process. I wouldn't want him driving a cab much less a State.
He IS a good actor. Hell - Reagan was a GREAT actor. 'Nuff said.
developing...
Still doesn't explain the 2 cars at different airports.
Hmmmmm
Argentine Women (especially Portenas) are incredibly hot, at least he has good taste..
Oh, yeah the hypocrisy badge is so bright right now, it takes away from lusting after portenas, but If I was living in an oppressed Bible belt state with lots of fried foods, I would be putting on Carlos Gardel songs and dreaming of Dolce and Gabanna wearing Portenas.
When I was in Chile, half the people asked me why did Clinton have to pick such a dumpy woman as his mistress, he could at least pick someone better.
How Argentine Men practice Tango dancing for years was outside the bars was to dance with other men to refine their dance steps.

A transexual from Argentina?
Maybe that's why he had to go down there.
Were there any dead tannys found in a hotel room in Argentina?
followed by the groveling, sniveling (but yeah, secretly proud about bagging some chick on the side) apologies...
GOPers on Parade
Abd yes, enough already about how humanizing and heartfelt his apology is. He left the f-ng state with no plan or no notice. That would get you fired from any job. If he's not resigning, he needs to be impeached for dereliction of duty.
The infidelty thing is a whole separate issue, and goes to show the "holy roller crowd" again are overcompensating for their own sins.
Let's start with the personal use of a South Carolina government vehicle, abandoning his post as governor to go (literally) incommunicado and work our way down from there.
Oh, I forgot: IOKIYAR (it's okay if you are Republican). Silly me.
A bit costly if you ask me!
oh fucking never mind.
http://www.gotchamediablog.com/2009/06/mark-san...
But of course!
It's reflexive at this point, one of theirs fucks up, they instantly label him (her?) a Democrat, for conservatives viewers with a short memory (which may work, since Fox has a very heavy senile-age viewer base.)
yep, fox viewers have all they need to know now!
most GOPers seem to get caught with men or kids.
He immediately starting preaching as a DAMNED CRUTCH and the mainstream media immediately bought it. Some are starting to question it, but I'm sick to death of "Better than Thou!" Republicans getting an immediate knee jerk benefit of the doubt when they get caught in this shit.
A dem w/a conscience resigns....Arrogant Bible Thumpers weep and says, "God forgives...." and moves on. Tota Hypocricy. And who's the "Moral Majority"?
That was quick.
I love that Carrie Prejean's going to be there.
Please.This Sanford joker got caught in lie after lie and left his state without any contact info for a week. For this he wants a medal?
Does this mean he is kicked out the the Governors House and the wife and kids stay in the Governors mansion?
Then on real fun nights, Rudy could do his Dame Edna schtick!
Maybe they could even play Charades! Maybe Mr. Mustard will do it in the Library with the candlestick!
Damn! Why did Bill Maher decide to take a break from his HBO program now????
"The South Carolina governor has had a bruising year, losing his fight to turn down $700 million in federal stimulus money. Sanford initially tried to require that any stimulus money pay down the state debt, a stance rejected by the Obama administration."
HAHA, they said "stance".
"Argentina quickly lost the confidence of investors and the flight of money away from the country increased."

And another point of hypocrisy.... Sanford was AGAINST off-shore drilling. I guess he's changed his position on that.
Truebleu is the typical California "sicko" who probably is called "Trueblo" by his rear admiral buds!
Sanford is a "typical" politician...get over it.
You leftists didn't say anything when Slick Willie was getting his nob jobs so why run your mouths now?
