SANFORD gives Chuck TODD & Hardball pundits bad case of triple-word EWwwness, TMI
Edited on Tue Jun-30-09 05:53 PM by UTUSN
So Chuck is standing in for Tweety, who, he says, "is out of the country, but we don't know,
will give more clues later in the week..." HaHAH.

Then he goes to clips of SANFORD saying his girlfriend was "a soulmate." Then, that he
"crossed lines" with MORE women. But not sexually. Oh, and that despite calling
his girlfriend his soulmate, still, he is "trying to fall back in love with" his wife.

Now from the beginning I said that this wasn't about the affair, it was ALL about his
abandoning his official duties, leaving his jurisdiction unprotected. But now that finally
there have been some editorials deigning to focus on this instead of the sex, well,
my job is done and I can be overwhelmed by his "love" stories.

I also said from the beginning that this dude doesn't belong in bureaucratic pursuits
because he has the soul of a poet or of a sexual adventurer or SOMEthing.


So with today's AP story about his soulmate, crossing lines, etc., Chuck TODD turns to one
of his guests and says to her, "You work at the AP, you were seeing these (love bits) keep
COMING and COMING and COMING..." The woman started to cringe.

But, no, then SHE started doing it, "Uh, yes, it's the story that keeps on giving...
DRIP, DRIP, DRIP..."

Haha, so then they went on and on about it's all being TMI. And the other guest said
it was all TMI, but that this isn't like the other politicians' tawdry sexploits,
that it was "something different, like a love story or something..."


Haha, they were all cringing and yet titillated, but in a different way, like they
SHOULDN'T be titillated, like when reading love POETRY or something....... haHAHAHA

AP Newsbreak: SC gov 'crossed lines' with women


By TAMARA LUSH and EVAN BERLAND, Associated Press Writers Tamara Lush And Evan Berland,
Associated Press Writers – 1 hr 10 mins ago

COLUMBIA, S.C. — South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford declared his Argentine mistress his soul mate
Tuesday but said he is committed to reconciling with his wife in hopes of saving his family
and what is left of his political career.

Sanford, who also admitted meeting his lover more times than he had previously claimed,
told The Associated Press in emotional interviews that he "crossed lines" with a handful
of other women during 20 years of marriage.

But he said he never went as far as he did with Maria Belen Chapur, the woman at the center
of the scandal that has derailed his once-promising political future.

Even with the latest revelations, Sanford maintains he is fit to govern and has no plans
to resign. And he insisted his relationship with Chapur, whom he met at an open air dance spot
in Uruguay eight years ago, was more than just sex.

"This was a whole lot more than a simple affair, this was a love story," Sanford said.
A forbidden one, a tragic one, but a love story at the end of the day." ....

1. I heard that Sanford said he would try and fall in love with his wife again
Seems to me like he's going after his wife for kicking his ass. That guy is what sticks to the bottom of your shoe.

9. He has to say that.
Then she will say, "Are you kidding, you slimy fucking weasel?"

Then he gets to be the rejected husband and she gets to be the B-word.

That's how these things work in fundy Christian land.

12. She's already called him a slimy f'n weasel
It's the "I'm going to try" part that's making it even worse. "Try" is an awful word under these circumstances, fundy or not. Like he's going to try and not gag at the sight of her.

4. What a loser. Why doesn't AP just ask the sons if they like hearing on AP
that there father has a soul mate who isn't their mother. I didn't see this. But Chuck Todd, the AP, and a shill talking about soul mates is disgusting.

10. The dweeby, wimpy simp from Law & Order - Sam WATERSTON
Edited on Tue Jun-30-09 06:31 PM by UTUSN
The one who does commercials for some kind of financiers, who was scarily dipping into Third Party in '08, who, it turns out in the link below, is SO Liberal that we're just not good enough for him.

Repeating: Dweeby, wimpy simp.

An active humanitarian, Waterston donates considerable time to organizations such as Oceana, where he is a board member, Refugees International, Meals on Wheels, The United Way, and The Episcopal Actors' Guild of America. Waterston, a practicing Episcopalian,<8> narrated the 1999 biographical documentary of Episcopal civil rights martyr Jonathan Myrick Daniels, Here Am I, Send Me.

A political independent, he was a spokesman for the Unity08 movement, which unsuccessfully sought to run a non- or bipartisan presidential ticket in the 2008 presidential election.<9> Waterston has stated that he was a Democrat until he left the party in disgust following the airing of Lyndon B. Johnson's infamous "Daisy" election ad in 1964.<10> Waterston has also appeared in print ads, and announced in television commercials, for the liberal magazine The Nation.

13. I call it "the Tired Liberal" look. Like Judy WOODRUFF and Wolf BLITZER
Edited on Tue Jun-30-09 06:39 PM by UTUSN
Although I like her husband Al HUNT and her, but she and Wolf went through so much crap during the CLINTON years with CNN being called the "CLINTON News Network," that the two of them (Judy & Wolf) would ambush Dems with sniper questions to PROVE that they were NOT Libs, were TOUGH "journalists."

Al and Judy were the ones in the restaurant with their kids, one of them disabled, whom a totally drunk young Shrub called "a-hole" at their table in front of their kids.

Hmmm, has Shrub ever apologized to Al HUNT?11 Now that he's a statesman, and all...

7. Same reaction here. His comments are just disturbingly sketchy
I actually feel a little less sane for having heard them.
