[Sanity Claws]

Did he not show up for the conference?

[RufusTFirefly]

16. Heard (but can't confirm) that it's been rescheduled to 2:30 PM EDT n/t

[SoCalNative]

19. Perhaps the Governor is stuck

on the Appalachian Trail via the beaches of Argentina?

[RufusTFirefly]

22. Maybe his head needs a second clearing. n/t

[Beetwasher]

26. Yeah, This Time He's Hiking The Catskills in S. Africa

n/t

[VWolf]

31. The big head or the small one? n/t

[sabra]

12. MSNBC also confirming a delay for the press conference.

[Beetwasher]

24. "We Have To Delay The Press Conference, The Gov. Decided He Needed To Clear His Head Some More...

We think he may have gone hiking this time in the Catskills in S. Africa".

[eleny]

13. ...

[panader0]

15. He is totally fucked without a doubt.

[graywarrior]

17. He may have gotten totally fucked

[Octafish]

Plus my wife and kids are looking at me funny

:rofl:

[mikelgb]

32. Is he going to flee the press conference too?

He is probably halfway back to Argentina by now.

[jakefrep]

75. Will we get an OJ chase out of it?

:popcorn:

[Arkana]

48. Damn the poor guy is going to need a vacation after all this

:evilgrin:

[Lex]

37. deer, headlights

[eleny]

uuh-uuh

[Seen the light]

39. Wait, so he's back to the Appalachian Trail and not Argentina?

WTF

[FSogol]

53. If you are hiking on the AT and find yourself in Buenos Aires, you've gone too far.

;-)

[roguevalley]

290. awesome post, FSogol. Awesome.

[grantcart]

42. we need a thread for odds

[graywarrior]

43. WTF?

[dmr]

44. So far lotsa "ahhhs...."

[Arkana]

45. What is he blathering about?

He sounds like he's trying to explain the Appalachian Trail excuse.

[WeDidIt]

46. This thing is already a train wreck

He's rambling

[Lex]

52. he's whining about the freakin' STIMULUS

oh crap :rofl:

[DesertRat]

47. I love GOP meltdowns

:popcorn:

[Seen the light]

59. Apologizing to the family right now, this is getting better and better nt

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

296. +2

[konnichi wa]

49. First impression...he sounds disjointed, uncertain, confused...and a little nuts?

Maybe he really did just have a wild hare and go off to Buenos Aires.....?
No matter what, it's beyond weird.

[graywarrior]

50. He's lost his mind

[struggle4progress]

299. Small things are easily misplaced

[eleny]

51. This is getting pathetic

[graywarrior]

56. Republicans are insane

No doubt about it

[WeDidIt]

58. This is getting MORE pathetic

Fixed it for you.

[Arkana]

He's dropping way too many "y'all"s.

[konnichi wa]

65. Gak...I'm actually feeling a little sorry for him

:shrug:

[Duer 157099]

54. "I'm a bottom line kind of guy" n/t

[roguevalley]

291. whose bottom? he was shagging his girl down there.

[Arkana]

55. Oh dear...he's apologizing to the wife.

"Bolton"? "Landon"?

[DesertRat]

and the four little boys

Bolton, Colton...

[Parker CA]

57. Oh, here it comes. He's going to admit to an affair. He said "it's going to hurt."

[eleny]

60. this apology should have come first and foremost not the other ramblings

But he seems to have lost it.

[sabra]

61. here it comes! apologizing to his family!!!

[Beetwasher]

62. "It's Gonna Hurt!"

Oh, yeah, you bet, here it comes!!!!!!!!!!

[grantcart]

"bottom line" with an apology to the wife

[Duer 157099]

63. Confession upcoming... stand by ... n/t

[Danascot]

64. "It's gonna hurt"

[grantcart]

81. I agree I already have a headache

[brooklynite]

66. "It's gonna hurt"...

[Lancer]

Apologizing to the entire state of SC now!

[AngryOldDem]

88. This is embarrassing.

How long will they let him ramble?

[brooklynite]

"How closely [Jenny] has stood by my side..."

but apparently not today

[roguevalley]

292. admitting to a threesome?!?!?!?///?????

[pdxmom]

67. He hasn't talked to his wife and now he's doing this through a press

conference? Tell me this isn't true.

[mtf80123]

68. Here it comes!!!

Appologizing to family members....

Waiting for the "Affair" word to come up momentarilly.

[Duer 157099]

69. my guess: mistress with new child, Father's day n/t

[dmr]

70. Teary-eyed apology to Jenny

[Arkana]

71. Jesus Christ, Governor, just admit you went to Argentina with some hookers

and an 8-ball for some "quality time".

[hatrack]

72. "No matter how much it's going to hurt."

Oops.

[AngryOldDem]

73. Is he having a nervous breakdown in front of our eyes?

This is just too friggin' bizarre, even for politics.

[Left Is Write]

80. It looks just exactly like that, yes.

[AngryOldDem]

Someone should stop this, soon.

He is humiliating himself. No need for that if he is indeed losing it.

[Parker CA]

106. Completely unhinged and beyond bizarre. This guy is throwing apologies out like shout outs.

He's done.

[Lex]

74. OH shit, here comes the tears

[graywarrior]

Stalling. . .

[MazeRat7]

76. You don't get this kind of build for no reason.... Spill it, what did you do ??? n/t

[jhain]

77. "a very long process"

Here's a tip to shorten the process.
QUIT.

[Catherine Vincent]

78. He's not much of a looker. nt

[eleny]

79. He's starting to cry, isn't he - oh jesus

[SemiCharmedQuark]

91. How many times is he going to say "let them down"?

[Left Is Write]

or "on that front"

[SemiCharmedQuark]

93. Oh here we go, "Gods laws"

[Duer 157099]

94. Invoking God's laws... hmmm... n/t

[girl gone mad]

96. He let his father in law down, too.

I shouldn't be enjoying this so much.

[jhain]

144. Don't worry

I'm probably enjoying it more!!

[brooklynite]

97. Is this going any place?

[dysfunctional press]

98. so...WHO ARE YOU FUCKING?

[MazeRat7]

Somebody better queue up "Keyboard Cat"... this is going to be worthy n/t

[flvegan]

[Jennicut]

99. Oh boy. This looks serious. What is he gonna admit?

[Beetwasher]

Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Stall Stall Stall Stall Stall (Are You Feeling Sorry For Me Yet?? Ok, Not

Yet? Ok, some more apologies then...) Blah blah blah blah GOD blah blah blah GOD blah blah blah...

[graywarrior]

100. OMG, he needs mental help!

[Politics_Guy25]

118. OMG-AN AFFAIR-N/T!!-AN AFFAIR!!

[Renew Deal]

301. I don't think he wants to be governor anymore.

That's pretty clear.

[ellacott]

He's let everybody down

poor thing

[dmr]

101. protect people from themselves? he musta done bad

[blogslut]

Get to the point, man!

sheesh!

[flamingdem]

103. I'm on the edge of my seat

[grantcart]

104. weeks months and years ahead - hell this confession could take a decade

[brooklynite]

107. Uh oh -- here come's "God's laws"

[underpants]

God's law has a bottom line

lots of bottom lines

[SemiCharmedQuark]

108. He just apolozed to "people of faith"

[Arkana]

109. "I'm a believer."

This is preamble to "I fucked a goat."

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

297. +3

[Bobbie Jo]

110. He is so busted.

[Duer 157099]

Adultery, got to be n/t

[Danascot]

111. WTF??? He's filibustering his own confession

[WeDidIt]

112. Holy FUCK, WHAT THE FUCK DID HE DO???

Did he pay to participate in a snuff film or something?

[DesertRat]

113. Who are the women grinning behind him?

[Sanity Claws]

137. They are enjoying his pain

He must be a prick in person to have so many people gloating.

[eleny]

140. She's priceless and will appear in comedy bits

Thank you, Jesus for small things like this.

[DesertRat]

179. there are two of them... laughing now...

[Arkana]

114. HOLY FUCK HOLY FUCK ANOTHER AFFAIR!!!!!

[ohheckyeah]

115. There it is.

I HAVE BEEN UNFAITHFUL TO MY WIFE.

[xultar]

116. BOOM SHAKA LAKA SHAKA LAKA

[SemiCharmedQuark]

117. Boom goes the dynamite! Affair with friend from Argentina.

[underpants]

130. Caliente`

SPICY

[AngryOldDem]

"Don't cry for me Argentina..."

Another one bites the dust.

[jhain]

124. BAHWHAHAHHAHAAAAAAA n/t

[AngryOldDem]

139. Now, if he says it's with Eva Peron....n/t

[jakefrep]

"Don't cry for me South Carolina...."

[underpants]

228. "I've spent the last 5 days crying in Argentina"

he came really really close

he needs a balcony to pull that off anyway

[Parker CA]

119. So, is he going to resign his post as Governor? He's toast.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

155. He should, but he won't.........

Sen. Ensign didn't resign, neither will Sanford. I'm assuming adultery gets a pass in public service anymore.

[sinkingfeeling]

195. Only if you're a Republican; see Bill Clinton and John Edwards.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

212. Exactly..........

Not only did he cheat on his wife, he LIED to the people of SC.

[zbdent]

271. but remember, Mannthrax Coultercaust said that such measures

shouldn't be brought up for some piddly minor offense as lying (perjury) ...

[DireStrike]

295. And Eliot Spitzer.

[Blackhatjack]

120. Unfaithful to Wife... Relationship with Dear Friend in Argentina... uh oh...

[Lex]

121. he should have done a press release, jesus this is stupid

[anigbrowl]

158. No, it's better to be public about it

At least he's taking full responsibility for it, as opposed to hiding behind his press spokesperson or so.

[Lex]

221. a press release is public

[anigbrowl]

226. You can't ask a press release questions

You know perfectly well what I meant.

[Lex]

245. Exactly.

From a political damage point of view, it was a horrible mistake.

[anigbrowl]

277. Nah, I think he'd get trashed either way

if he'd just put out a press release to the same effect people would be asking why he couldn't face the cameras and whether he was having a total meltdown (as in, call the paramedics, rather than crying in public).

edit to add that his political career is most likely over, I agree.

[grantcart]

122. bingo

[nomaco-10]

123. And another one bites the dust. n/t

[graywarrior]

125. THE REPUBLICANS ARE SOOOOOOO FUCKED!

[underpants]

145. Apparently with more than one person too

I thought WE were supposed to be the funky sex sinners :shrug:

[graywarrior]

161. Republicans are horny bastards

[Mari333]

126. OMG he is toast

[Beetwasher]

128. BOOM!!! ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST!!!!!!!!

[Ilsa]

129. Moral absolutes and gods law "I've been unfaithful to my wife." nt

[brooklynite]

131. BINGO -- a relationship with a "Dear dear friend"

[brooklynite]

135. Did he just say he hurt his friend, before saying he hurt his wife?

[Duer 157099]

138. That he met online. Craigslist? n/t

[gkhouston]

172. "Dear dear friend"... is that an adult version of "duck, duck, goose"? n/t

[Laelth]

289. Or does that mean she was a very, very expensive prostitute?

:shrug:

:dem:

-Laelth

[DesertRat]

132. He's only sorry he got caught...

[Left Is Write]

142. He was too stupid to be more discreet.

[girl gone mad]

133. And there it is.

[Lex]

141. now he's using "Jenny and the boys" as a shield for HIS own privacy

jackass

[flvegan]

134. Can someone cancel the Palin/Sanford 2012 t-shirts, please?

[MazeRat7]

Snap, who would have guessed ?

:sarcasm:

[WeDidIt]

136. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[cascadiance]

143. So, if John Edwards had been elected instead of Obama...

... would we still have had as many of these GOP hypocrites asking for his resignation?

Perhaps more of them would have had to resign then...

[dmr]

151. Of course, it's in their dna

[SemiCharmedQuark]

146. So he blew off his gov. responsibilities to flee the country to be with his Argentinian mistress?

[underpants]

152. You said

blew off

[Dappleganger]

Even Bill stayed at his DESK.

For chrissakes.

[tammywammy]

163. bwah!!!!! n/t

[SemiCharmedQuark]

Hahahaha!

[underpants]

267. Hell, Bill was MULTI-TASKING

Monica
eating pizza
talking on the phone about troop movements

Bush couldn't handle chewing a pretzel

[Lugnut]

281. rofl

:rofl:

I am so bad. I shouldn't be enjoying this so much.

:rofl:

[Dappleganger]

147. Do as I say and not as I do.

As long as I ask for ya'lls forgiveness, God will forgive me and it's all ok.
See ya in church on Sunday, and don't forget to vote republican!

[Arkana]

148. And he's resigning as chairman of the Republican Governors' Association.

[Mari333]

randy bunch, the GOP

[NNN0LHI]

280. No kidding

I am starting to wonder if I have been missing out on all the fun hanging out with all you family oriented Democrats?

Republicans ... The party of swingers.

Whodathunk?

Don

[sakabatou]

149. Who wasn't expecting that he was having an affair, raise your hands.

*crickets chirp*

Exactly.

[Danascot]

With a female human over 13 yo? No.

[eleny]

150. Give him time & space? Is he kidding?

[Arkana]

162. Good God, if Sanford had a D after his name Republicans would already

be calling for blood.

Dereliction of duty so he could go boink his mistress...dear, dear.

[underpants]

174. He needs a vacation

[Laelth]

258. He might be getting one REAL soon. n/t

:dem:

-Laelth

[OmahaBlueDog]

153. Hey, but it's the party of family values

[Duer 157099]

Resigning Chair of RGA. Time limitations, y'know, mistress in another country n/t

[Forkboy]

154. This thread is hilarious.

:rofl:

[SammyWinstonJack]

274. It really is.

:spray: I didn't watch the presser. This is so much better. :rofl:

[WeDidIt]

156. Am I wrong or has he not mentioned the sex of whom he had an affair with?

He said a dear friend, but was it a woman or a man?

[OmahaBlueDog]

160. I was thinking the same thing

[Left Is Write]

185. He has. Woman.

[flvegan]

187. I was thinking that, but he did just say "her" and "she"

too much "this person" up til that point.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

157. I'm here...she's there...

[underpants]

159. **THIS THREAD HAS BECOME COMPLETELY CHILDISH**

please continue

[Duer 157099]

164. LOL n/t

[SemiCharmedQuark]

165. This thread violates god's law! *weep*

[Beetwasher]

169. Wait?? Did TEH GAY MARRIAGE MAKE HIM DO IT?

Shouldn't we ask?

[jhain]

196. Dinosaur marriage

maybe like man on dog?

[Arkana]

200. I was almost hoping that Sanford was doinking a gay dude

so that we'd get to hear about him catching "the gay" and having to go be "rehabilitated".

[Lancer]

Just like its subject!

Oh, God... why didn't he just go see a pastor or a shrink? His career is so over.

[brooklynite]

178. Here come the tears...

[goclark]

180. This is a finished fool ~ he was in a Bible Study

class.

[robinlynne]

217. and wonderful.

[AngryOldDem]

166. So when will the GOP finally stop its holier-than-thou family values bullshit...

..and admit that they are just as human and prone to sins of the flesh as the rest of us poor sods?

[Z_I_Peevey]

261. Never, twelfth of

[Catherine Vincent]

168. uh oh, he's crying

:-(

[ellacott]

176. poor thing

[hatrack]

186. Hey, if he can't take the caught-with-his-pants-down heat . . .

. . . he should stay out of the self-righteous GOP Horndog kitchen.

:rofl: at Gov. Assclown.

[DesertRat]

170. He's having a Jimmy Swaggart moment...

[eleny]

189. I have the feeling that you're going to memorialize this with a digital treat one day- tears and all

Love ya and don't see enough of you on the board!

[DesertRat]

232. I think you're confusing me

with Swamp Rat. :)

[Laelth]

171. This thread is priceless.

I figured he was coming out. His reaction was more dramatic than that of an ordinary Republican admitting an affair. Hmm ...

:shrug:

-Laelth

[Lancer]

183. We must archive this.

I think there's still more to come.

[OmahaBlueDog]

173. Live on Ed Schultz now

[Ilsa]

175. My husband just told me he wants to join a CHURCH! I guess

I need to hire a lawyer!

Just kidding.

I guess Ensign is relieved.

[Catherine Vincent]

177. Those chicks behind him are having too much fun! :)

[scheming daemons]

181. This is one of the greatest threads in DU history...

...

I'm archiving this shit...

[Blackhatjack]

182. How Long Before Faux News Labels Sanford As a DEMOCRAT?

[nomaco-10]

194. lmao. n/t

[nomaco-10]

213. You can tell he's really smitten with the mistress. Probably a second family in Argentina. n/t

[DesertRat]

247. I think so too. He mentioned her two boys....

[DesertRat]

215. Or blame Obama for Sanford's meltdown...

[SammyWinstonJack]

276. +1

:spray:

[adamuu]

304. You called it.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x5914682

[Beetwasher]

184. "I Can Give You More Detail Than You'd Ever Want"

Oh no you can't! TRY ME!

[SemiCharmedQuark]

188. So he started up an affair with a woman he was trying to get to go back to her husband?

[dmr]

190. Well, it's a front page story now. Ensign says 'thank you'

[Bobbie Jo]

202. followed by a round of applause.

[LostInAnomie]

191. I bet there are some Little Sanfords down there.

If the family has known about it for 5 months, I'm guessing he went down there again to severe financial ties and pay for them to hide.

[graywarrior]

192. This is so off the wall

Unbelievable

[Duer 157099]

193. If nothing else, I give him credit for fessing up like this

course it happened after he was already busted, but still, at least he's not throwing more bullshit around

[Parker CA]

211. Yep. He f-ed up huge, but he's owning it right now, albeit with the heavy religious crutch.

[WeDidIt]

214. He only fessed up because he was caught like a rat in a trap

So no credit from me.

[Jennicut]

197. So he went to hook up for a booty call in Argentina and he got caught

in a lie?
Loser. Complete loser.

[librechik]

198. He keeps saying "a person"--I bet it's a man he's having an affair with

[Left Is Write]

203. No. He has referred to her as a woman.

[Lex]

207. interesting leap

and wrong

[underpants]

208. it's a "her"

:P

[eleny]

199. Somebody needs to yank him away from the mic

Baby, this toast is burnt crispy.

[Parker CA]

230. And the kitchen stinks of burned crust. He needs to walk away from the podium. DONE.

[AngryOldDem]

233. Finally, it's over.

What a disaster.

EDITED TO ADD: :rofl:

[Graybeard]

238. POS hypocrite should just resign.

We don't want sob stories. Just get out of our sight.

[Lex]

201. I swear, long distance relationships are so difficult . . .

[DesertRat]

204. I spent the last 5 days crying in Argentina

Best line of the day.

[bridgit]

205. It's one thing when the mighty are fallen, for republican worms & snakes it's a short distance

:popcorn:

[Duer 157099]

206. "I've spent the last 5 days crying in Argentina"

I think there will be a song parody coming soon...

[Ganja Ninja]

224. Don't cry for me Carolina. n/t

[DesertRat]

216. I said it yesterday - this involves a mistress, call girl, or dominatrix

Looks like it's #1..

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :rofl: :bounce: :woohoo:

[girl gone mad]

218. He was in the bubble of politics.

"you can't let your guard down, not even for a second" when you're in the bubble of politics.

:rofl:

[Duer 157099]

219. If he resigned, would Lt. Gov get promoted?

Cuz he was almost salivating yesterday on Rachel's show

[flvegan]

220. 100-1 odds on Sanford getting the #1 spot on EarlG's Top 10 next week.

Trifecta here.

Infidelity.
Attempt for religious redemption
Tears, drama, ridiculous presser

[Danascot]

268. But he lost points for no stoic wife at his side.

Someone needs to get to his house fast and remove all sharp and blunt implements.

[brooklynite]

222. Fast reaction from our FRiends...

It better had been with a woman.

Man I was hoping he’d make a Presidential run in 2012. That’s clearly not going to happen now.

I mean, ON FATHER’S DAY??? Sanford/Vitter 2012!

Geez.. I thought Sanford was a Good guy.....He’s toast for 2012. Sad. Prayers for his wife and for his children......

Well, at least it wasn’t with little boys, like Barney Frank.

The Repubs need to reconstitute the Plumbers and look into the private lives of Democrats.

Guess Sandford is all over with now. That leaves Palin, Bachmann, Jindahl, Cantor, and Romney.

Kinda sad really. I have a lot a respect for what he did about the porkulus. Part of me wants to think that this is a set-up. In the coming days we’ll know more about this.

[Blue_Tires]

252. lol...what a bunch of tits

[Ganja Ninja]

"That leaves Palin, Bachmann, Jindahl, Cantor, and Romney."

Bwahahahahah! :rofl: Oh God that is funny!

[SammyWinstonJack]

279. Really!

:rofl: And really pathetic, too.

[Lancer]

223. I can't imagine how BORING that sex must have been

[Duer 157099]

231. hahah, good one n/t

[WeDidIt]

225. Bet Sarah Palin is celebrating right about now

Her biggest competition for the GOP nod is now dead in the water.

[piratefish08]

248. She'll have to shoot Levi from a helicopter to recapture the headlines THIS week!

[Arkana]

227. The press smells blood.

He's like a deer in the headlights, and they are the truck from "Duel".

[SemiCharmedQuark]

229. Award for most times saying "disappointed" in a sentence.

[Lancer]

234. "Let them down" is a close second

[brooklynite]

235. Not planning to resign...

[gkhouston]

249. Snort. I give him a week. n/t

[Arkana]

236. Candy Crowley: "That sound you hear is Republican leaders everywhere screaming."

[underpants]

242. Did she say that?

:shrug:

[Spazito]

260. Yep, and then quickly followed it up by...

excusing him by saying it is like cheating on your taxes, lots do it, etc, etc, etc. Funny, though, she didn't have that attitude when Clinton or any Democrat is in the news for the same thing. She is BEYOND pathetic.

[scheming daemons]

255. The Republican party has leaders? Now THAT'S news...

[underpants]

259. Crowley "lots of people do it..cheat on their wives their taxes" "no reason for him to resign"

she then brings Spitzer and Greevy into it

No mention of Vitter, Craig, Ensign, Foley, etc.

[piratefish08]

237. bwaaaaaaa haaaaaaaa haaaaaaa haaa haaaa haaaaaaaaa!!!!!

another right winger pisses off GAWD!!

[Lex]

239. Wow, his staff basically stopped that travesty of a press conference.

nt

[SemiCharmedQuark]

246. I bet they wish they had one of those old timey comedy hooks.

[bullwinkle428]

262. PLAY HIM OUT, KEYBOARD CAT!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clfAq1xSevc

[Lex]

265. no kidding!

or swept off the stage like at The Apollo

[jhain]

240. Oh, the paper work!

[Norwood]

241. Bwahahaha!

LOL that was hilarious! I'm bummed a missed a good chunk of the beginning though.

[tammywammy]

243. Best political press conference ever! n/t

[jakefrep]

244. For the Twitterites... #sanford

It's EXPLODING!

[SemiCharmedQuark]

253. Oh lord, on MSNBC they are making excuses for him already.

"Oh he spoke from the heart...he obviously was in distress...no longer the comedy that it was last night."

[Beetwasher]

254. Oh My!! What a Beautiful FUCKING TRAIN WRECK!!!!!!!!!

:rofl:

The Republican party is a wonder to behold! Truly magnificent and stunning. It's like a train wreck during an earthquake that's being eaten by a giant shark that's fighting Godzilla on a spaceship travelling through time.

[underpants]

264. You called it

BEST PRESSER EVER

[Parker CA]

256. I give him one week. The man who just stood in front of that podium does not have the mental

clarity to run a state. He's done. If he wanted to keep his job he should have released a written statement.

[MazeRat7]

257. Best fun I've had in weeks. Thanks DU and Gov Sanford.... Now back to work for me. n/t

[nadinbrzezinski]

263. ANOTHER FAMILY VALUES GUY FALLING ON FACE!

Oh my

:popcorn:

[Subdivisions]

266. Good ole republicon family values. He is now being characterized as

having been "a man" for admitting his indiscretions. "I'm going to do anything in power to help him. If he can step up and be a man like that and admit he's wrong, I will do everything I can to help him." - Sen. Jake Knotts (R-Dist. No. 23, Lexington Co., SC), a heretofore fierce opponent of Sanford.

[jhain]

300. Is he related to Don?

[marmar]

269. Color me shocked.....

:sarcasm:

[Adelante]

270. This thread gets a DUZY!!

No question. :rofl:

[malaise]

285. For real

I disagree with the hacks at M$Greedia.
Time for Dems to question whether Rushicans are only loyal to their party and disrespect their office. How come they only resign from GOP positions.
Sympathy my ass.

[Lex]

273. I bet next time he'll leave his cell phone on so he can be contacted.

nt

[jhain]

275. He HAD to have been 'medicated'

Only way to get him home from Argentina??

[Laelth]

287. I bet he slammed four or five stiff drinks during the thirty minute delay.

He was barely coherent, even for a Republican.

:dem:

-Laelth

[Orsino]

278. I'm willing to say "poor guy" today...

...assuming that he will, of course, get around to recanting his stance against marriage equality, and barring any forthcoming revelations of misappropriation of state funds to support his affair.

[Blackhatjack]

282. Voila! Faux News Designates Sanford A DEMOCRAT! LINK

[DainBramaged]

283. Fucking hypocrites, no mercy

[lindisfarne]

284. What day did the Ensign thing break? He really is a fool if that didn't make him reconsider.Edit:Tue

Tuesday before Sanford disappeared. But when the lower level brain is going to get some action, the upper level brain ceases to work.

[jakefrep]

286. With apologies to Andrew Lloyd Webber...

Don't cry for me South Carolina
The truth is I really left you
To have some wild days
A "mental health break"

I broke my promise
I went long-distance....

[AngryOldDem]

288. ....

:thumbsup:

[fujiyama]

298. This thread is a riot!

:rofl:

[condoleeza]

302. He said this during the Clinton impeachment fiasco

"The issue of lying is probably the biggest harm, if you will, to the system of Democratic government, representatives government, because it undermines trust," he told CNN. "And if you undermine trust in our system, you undermine everything."

Of course I'm sure he feels apologizing and asking God for forgiveness wipes this all out.

[GeorgeGist]

303. Schadenfreude, Oh Schadenfreude ...

Oh where have you been hiding?

On the DU.

No kidding?

[Odin2005]

305. LOL, I'm convinced all these "family values" idiots are hypocrites, every last one of them.

[kestrel91316]

306. It's gonna take me a month to read this thread, lol.
