Damn those Democrat bimbo-loving anti-family hypocrites! He’s just like Larry Cragg, Mark Foley, and all the other “Democrats.”
Faux News, all lies, all the time.

Unless he shows his face in his home state before the sun goes down Wednesday, and looks sober, he’s finished not only as a Presidential prospect but as Governor as well, effective immediately. Even the Lieutenant Governor of South Carolina, who appeared on the Rachel Maddow show on Tuesday night, did not have a clue to Sanford’s whereabouts, and looked extremely nervous.
Sanford’s cell phone was tracked to Atlanta and one news report says a “federal agent” saw him there, at the airport. A “governor’s” SUV was found at the Columbia, SC airport in it with a sleeping bag in it and sunscreen. His wife said on Tuesday:
There are many signs something is wrong; for example why was his cell phone tracked nearly 3 days ago to locate him? His own GOP Senator will not vouch for him. Something substantial is up here. UPDATE: Sanford was apparently in Argentina for six days. Press conference at 2PM EDT. Press smells political blood in the water and are apparently going to ask him directly about female traveling companions. Oh, those were the days. McCain, Lindsey Graham, and the US media keep screaming that Obama as US President needs to support this guy more loudly and openly, even intervene on his behalf. Hey, maybe Mousavi will finally apologize for killing 241 Marines in cold blood.
Semper fi, McCain, Graham, and GOP.

TPM:
After plenty of holding on to undesirable Bush policies, this is welcome news. Too bad he’ll get no credit whatsoever from the paranoid right wingers with guns. Where is stimulus-hating SC Governor Mark Sanford? Has he really disappeared? His craziest rant yet was during his last public appearance. UPDATE: This afternoon his office made reassuring noises, but in no way did they confirm talking to him. Perhaps this is only a small publicity stunt on his part, but it seems he’s about to take it too far. At least for today, protests were handily shut down. Since Saturday, the use of teargas seems to have been approved by authorities and is becoming common. The tension and the stakes keep getting higher, since I am sure some respected political and religious leaders will call for a nonviolent protest of mourning for those killed Saturday, a protest it will be difficult to oppose. The existing regime is trying to tie the hundreds of thousands, even millions cumulatively, of nonviolent protesters who have been on the streets at different times for 9 days now, to the small element that battles with police on a near-daily basis, labeling them “rioters.” Marching nonviolently in protest of the bogus election result is then labeled “enabling the rioters.” It’s unwise for that and other reasons for people in the street to engage in fighting with the security forces, because they seem more and more likely each day to have blanket permission to use deadly force. If you have members of the Revolutionary Guard, etc., and this has been widely reported, that are hesitant to attack their fellow citizens, it seems very dangerous to provoke them into a street fight. Anything like that is now going to be very one-sided. Definitely better than Obama’s comedy routine, where he made jokes about the Uighurs. Some see this as an admission of unacceptable fraud by Iran’s Guardian Council. Another interpretation is that he was saying “only 50 cities” is well within that Council’s acceptable level of fraud in an election. This could also be showing the casual and open contempt Iranian political/religious leaders have for election accuracy. In my opinion, the 2000 Florida election controversy and further scandals afterwards with electronic “voting,” etc. show that the Iranian rulers and the US rulers have one philosophy in common, which is that voters mainly need to feel like they are participating and having a say when an election occurs, and the accuracy of the actual process is none of the voters’ business. This is their definition of “democracy,” in both countries, and many of the differences in our two systems are not so fundamental, but more of a matter of degree. It’s hard to tell how important this will be for historians, other than to confirm that Bush floated one of the stupidest ideas ever. Conducting foreign policy by harebrained conspiracy stunts reminicent of the Bay of Pigs is no substitute for a plan. |
