Wonder why he would do that? I also wonder why he only paid $3,000 to the state over his 2008 Argentina “trade” trip that violated US policy, when he previously said he would pay $6,000.

Watch it here. Thanks to the excellent citizen journalists at theuptake.com for the video.

More calls for him to resign from newspapers and Republican politicians in South Carolina. 10 out of the 27 GOP members of the GOP State Senate want him to resign. SC US Senator Jim DeMint has essentially given up on him. Huckleberry seems to be dragging behind, he’s just as loyal to Sanford (for now) as he was to John McCain. If you have any doubt that this is committing political suicide and is in need of psychiatric help, listen to these files, from the interview mentioned in the post below. Clip 1, Clip 2, and Clip 3.

This man was a top contender for US President, according to the national media, and arguably Obama’s #1 most vocal and visible critic until one week ago today. These audio files are a must-hear.

Keep it up, guys. We can’t get enough of it.

Asked about the accusation, Schmidt fired back in an e-mail: “I’m sure John McCain would be president today if only Bill Kristol had been in charge of the campaign.”

“After all, his management of [former Vice President] Dan Quayle’s public image as his chief of staff is still something that takes your breath away,” Schmidt continued. “His attack on me is categorically false.”

Schmidt then offered more colorful perspective of Kristol’s character:

“Bill Kristol, going back to the time of the campaign, has taken a lot of cheap shots at the campaign without ever offering a plausible path to victory,” Schmidt said. “He’s in the business of ad hominem insults and criticism.” […]

As for the charges of being a sunshine soldier with regard to Palin, Schmidt said: “Nonsense. I’m a team player. That’s a reflection of [Kristol’s] values. He’s the Washington, D.C., talking head and glitterati. I live in Northern California and I really don’t give a s— about that stuff.”

Kristol responded by claiming that “John McCain deserved better” than Schmidt. And Kristol’s chief McCain campaign ally — Randy Scheunemann — likened Schmidt to the “Iranian secret police.”

Here is a link to the “controversial” article itself.

This is the single worst interview I’ve ever heard a sitting Governor or US Senator do. It’s over for this guy politically, period. This story doesn’t even contain some of the quotes aired in audio form on MSNBC last night, which are even more embarrassing and contradictory to his other public statements. He needs mental health assistance, pronto.  To realize that millions of dollars of corporate money were lining up behind him for a Presidential bid, as he flew around North and South America incognito “paying with cash,” and having a midlife crisis, is frightening.
