South Carolina, Where [Once Again] It's Not The Heat, It's The Stupidity
So, the people of South Carolina, actually the people of
South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District, decided that Mark
Sanford was the best candidate to represent them.
Really?
Was it Mark Sanford, or was it the fact that there was an ‘R’
by his name and that supersedes the ‘D’ next to Elizabeth Colbert Busch’s name?
And, if so, I guess the ‘R’ stands for Really? Or Ridiculous, or even Reprehensible.
See, we all know who Mark Sanford is, and what Mark Sanford
does. He lies. He lied while Governor, to the people, for whom, he worked, and
to his staff, and to his wife and children. But apparently that makes no
difference to the people in the 1st Congressional District because
there’s an ‘R’ beside his name, and that’s all that really matters.
As Governor, Sanford opposed
the faith-based license plates the state lawmakers wanted, and he allowed the
law to pass without his signature, saying, "It is my personal view that
the largest proclamation of one's faith ought to be in how one lives his life."
Then he cheated on his wife, and stole money from the people of South Carolina.
And the people in the 1st Congressional District elected
him to office knowing this.
As Governor, Sanford paid more than $74,000 in fines to
resolve dozens of charges that he violated state ethics laws with his campaign spending
and travel, including a taxpayer-funded rendezvous with his Argentine mistress.
And the people in the 1st Congressional District elected
him to office knowing this.
As Governor, Sanford faced 37 civil charges—which could have
become criminal charges, though that case was dropped.
And the people in the 1st Congressional District elected
him to office knowing this.
As Governor, Sanford left office without anyone—his staff or
the Lt. Governor’s knowledge—including the infamous five days when he said he
was hiking the Appalachian Trail while he was actually in Argentina having an
extra-marital affair.
And the people in the 1st Congressional District elected
him to office knowing this.
As Governor, Sanford bought first- and business-class
airline tickets for his travels, which violated a state law requiring
lowest-cost travel.
And the people in the 1st Congressional District elected
him to office knowing this.
As Governor, Sanford improperly using state-owned aircraft
for travel to political and personal events, including a stop at a discount
hair salon; and improperly reimbursing himself with campaign cash, including $3,000
in campaign contributions which he used to attend a Republican Governors
Association meeting in Miami and to also pay for a hunting trip in Ireland
several days later.
And the people in the 1st Congressional District elected
him to office knowing this.
As Governor, Sanford approved the personal use of
state-owned aircraft for trips such as the birthday party of a campaign
contributor in Aiken.
And the people in the 1st
Congressional District elected him to office knowing this.
So, the people of that
district have decided that a man, who misappropriates state funds for his own
personal use, while calling himself a fiscal conservative, is the best person
for the job. Those same people think the best man to represent them is a man
who disappears from his job without a word; they believe
that a man, who says he’s in one place, while he’s in another cheating on his
wife, has the kind of moral character they think South Carolina deserves. They
think a man who trespassed on private property because he wanted to do so, if
their best bet.
Well, people of South Carolina’s 1st Congressional
District, you got him--even after his own party disowned him--and I don’t want to hear a word more from you when he
lies and cheats and steals from you, because you knew that going in but couldn’t
stop yourself from choosing the ‘R’.
Really Ridiculous.

Mark Sanford Is Truly Ridiculous
In the interests of openness and honesty let me say that,
while I love-love-love the title of this post, it’s actually the exact title of
an article from the Washington Post that details the complete and utter
delusions of South Carolina’s globe-trotting, trail-hiking, booty-calling
ex-governor,. Marky Mark Sanford.
A little history:
- Sanford called himself a fiscal conservative then billed the state of South Carolina for first class airline tickets—some used to fly him to the afore-mentioned booty calls—for his travel arrangements.
- Sanford disappeared from the state, advising his staff to tell his employers, AKA the people of South Carolina, that he was hiking the Appalachian Trail, when he was later5 discovered to have flown to South America for a conjugal visit with his mistress.
- Sanford, in his divorce decree from his wife, Jenny, who didn’t take kindly to his booty-calling adventures, was ordered to stay away from Jenny Sanford’s home, but then was discovered walking in the house, using his phone as a flashlight. His excuse was that he wanted to watch football with his son, but then why was he walking around in the dark? And where was the mistress-soul mate? Sanford will answer charges of trespassing next month.

But the latest height of stupidity, of arrogance, of delusional
asshattery on Marky Mark is the full-page ad he recently took out in the Charleston
Post and Courier newspaper. The ad, which came out last week on the heels of the Boston Marathon bombings, where four
people died and nearly two-hundred were injured, and just after the explosion
of a Texas fertilizer plant that killed thirteen people and injured hundreds
more, told the people of South Carolina what a bad week “he’d” had. You know, because
of the trespassing charge and all. What a bad week for
a truly ridiculous man who apparently has no empathy for the people of Boston
or the people of West, Texas.
Sanford explains
that he broke the law, and violated a divorce decree “because, as a
father, I didn’t think [his 14-year-old son] should sit alone and watch [the
Super Bowl].” He then explains that there “are always two sides to every story,
and time will tell as to whether I made the right call in that instance as a
father.”
You didn’t, Marky, as usual you did what was the best thing
for you and basically, once again, gave a big F-U to everyone else.
Now, it would be lovely for a father to want to spend time
with his sons, and nice that he acknowledges that, but this is the same father
who skipped out on celebrating Father’s Day with his boys back in 2009 because
he went to Buenos Aires to schtup the mistress. This is the same father who thought it appropriate to
introduce his sons to his mistress, now fiancée, Maria Belen Chapur, for the very first time on-stage in front of an entire audience at the runoff election
victory party earlier this month.
Yes, he’s been, um, “dating” this woman for years, left his
wife for this woman a few years ago, but didn’t introduce his sons to her until
three weeks ago at an election event. Perhaps it was best he missed Father’s Day because he has no
idea what that even means.
But, back to his full-page, Feel-sorry-for-me-I’ve-had-a-bad
week ad, Sanford whined about what’s happened to him—like the fact that the National
Republican Congressional Committee has
publicly come out and said they no longer support him—and beg for money: “I’d
like to take all I have learned and apply it to fixing things, but I’m
outgunned, outmanned, and outspent by the Democratic Congressional Campaign
Committee [DCCC] and Nancy Pelosi’s PAC.”
Truly ridiculous, that man is, but what might be more truly
ridiculous is the fact that he might win the election if the people of South Carolina
don’t remember that while he was f**king his mistress, he was also f**king the
state.

Mark Sanford: Liar, Cheater, Adulterer, and Now, Trespasser
He’s at it again. Mark Sanford, the disgraced booty-calling, trail-hiking
former governor of South Carolina, is on the trail again. Only this time it’s
called trespassing, and this time it’s on the property of his ex-wife, the
lovely [insert sarcasm here] Jenny Sanford.
See, the Sanford’s—once the golden couple of the state
until; Mark began screwing other women and the people of South Carolina at the
same time—each have a clause in their divorce settlements saying that neither
may enter the other’s home without permission.
But Mark, as happens with ego-maniacal adulterers who think they’re
above the law, apparently has taken to making a habit of entering his former Mrs.—not
to be confused with former mistresses—home, and on February 3, Jenny confronted
him inside her house.
Creepy, no?
A complaint was filed the next day, and Mark Sanford will be
required to appear in court on May 9, two days after the election that he hopes
will return him to public office.
Jenny Sanford said her former husband was using his cellphone as a
flashlight as he left. The couple's divorce settlement says neither may enter
the other's home without permission. The complaint filed by Jenny’s lawyer,
Deena Smith McRackan, states that Mark Sanford has “entered into a pattern of
entering onto plaintiff’s property. Plaintiff has informed defendant on a
number of occasions that this behavior is in violation of the court’s order and
has demanded that it not occur again.”
Again, he’s made a habit of illegally trespassing on another
person’s property. Creepy, yes; and illegal. And he wants to get back into
office in this state.
Jenny, of course, taking the holier-than-thou high road has
declined to comment, except to say “We
have had a number of matters (in their divorce), and we have to deal with them
in private.”
When asked about those other issues, Jenny Sanford again declined to comment and then said, “Direct those questions to my ex-husband.”
When asked about those other issues, Jenny Sanford again declined to comment and then said, “Direct those questions to my ex-husband.”
Still not commenting, she continued: “I am doing my best not to get in the
way of his race. I want him to sink or swim on his own. For the sake of my
children I’m trying my best not to get in the way, but he makes things
difficult for me when he does things like trespassing.”
So much for not getting in the way and not commenting, eh?
Mark Sanford's spokesman literally had no comment.
Here’s the deal South Carolina, this man lied and cheated,
both on his wife, and on this state, and the slithered away into the murk from
whence he came until the last six months or so when he figured y’all were too stupid
to remember what a conniving lying asshatted man he is, and the he runs for
office in a Congressional primary. And you voted for him!
And now we find out that he is the same man he was when he
was governor, doing what he wants, taking his little personal hikes when he
wants, and thinking he’s above the law.
We don’t need the likes of Mark Sanford back in office in
this state, so if the people of the 1st Congressional district think
he’s the best man for the job, when you know
his history, then vote for him.
But don’t complain when he starts cheating on you, too.

Inch by inch, step by step,
slowly they turned....
The
city council of Boise, Idaho has unanimously approved sweeping protections for LGBT residents. Starting
in January 2013, no one in Boise can be discriminated against for their job,
housing, or at local businesses because of their sexual orientation. There
are exceptions made in the law for some private organizations, and religious
institutions.
The
passing of the ordinance brought a standing ovation from the packed auditorium
of supporters in the audience and activists say they are now working towards a statewide
bill.
That may be an uphill climb as state lawmakers have continued to vote for discrimination and against LGBT protections.

Oh dear....
The Hollywood casting machine is at it again.
First we had Lohan as Liz Taylor and now this:
Carrie Underwood will be playing Maria in NBC's live broadcast of The Sound of Music.
Carrie.Underwood.
Now, don't get me wrong, I like some Carrie every now and
again, but if you want someone to play the role of Maria--made famous and indelible
by Julie Andrews for goddess; sake--couldn't there have been a better choice?
Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, who produce Smash,
and NBC, released a statement:
"Speaking for everyone at NBC, we couldn't be happier to have the gifted Carrie Underwood take up the mantle of the great Maria von Trapp. She was an iconic woman who will now be played by an iconic artist.”
All I could think was "Jesus Take The Wheel."
All I could think was "How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria" sung to the tune of "Before He Cheats".

I don't watch Person
of Interest; I just never got into it....or, I’ve never even heard of it.
But I love the idea that those wacky One Million Moms [OMM] are super-peeved
that a lesbian couple ::::gasp:::: is on the show.
Dr. McDreamy say what?
In a letter to Joe.My.God. Monica Coles, of the OMM, says:
"Dear Joe, One Million Moms is disappointed that CBS and Warner Brothers turned Person of Interest into a politically correct machine. In mid-November, an episode aired that went way too far in an attempt to normalize homosexuality when creator and producer, J.J. Abrams, decided to introduce a married lesbian couple. Viewers find out the female heart surgeon's spouse is actually another woman. They treated this immoral relationship just like any other married couple. Clearly this is a way of promoting the homosexual agenda by making it appear absolutely normal. TAKE ACTION: Let them know that they do not need to follow the trend in normalizing homosexuality, or they will lose a majority of their viewers that tuned in for clean entertainment that did not push any certain agenda."
Normal? Lesbian marriages are normal? What's next? Same-sex
marriage in Washington, Maryland and Maine?
Uh huh.
To paraphrase a show that, when it started was cute, then
faded into boring, and now seems to have found a niche, it's The New Normal.
There. I said it.
I mean, I understand her popularity, but it isn't exactly my cup of tea, but this latest news just reinforces my opinion of Missus Z.

See, Beyoncé decided to make her directorial debut when
filming a documentary about her favorite topic for HBO.
Beyoncé directs Beyoncé in the Beyoncé Story.
And, apparently, a team of tiny men follow her around
holding her big head atop her shoulders and working her wind machine.
And speaking of big heads, Mister Beyoncé, Jay Z, was giving a
concert in Brooklyn recently, and decided to prove he is just regular people by
taking the subway to the concert.
With his entourage and a film crew.
Yeah, those two are regular people.
It seems that a mysterious trip out of state has caused
Arizona Governor Jan Brewer to shirk her duties to certify election
ballots, and nobody knows where she is.
Uh oh. Shades of former South Carolina Governor and adulterer,
Mark Sanford's mysterious hiking the Appalachian Trail trip that was really a
booty call to Rio.
Brewer spokesman Matthew Benson said that Brewer was
unavailable to participate in the general election canvass last week because
she was out of the state on official business, and "That is all I can
disclose at this time."
He later reiterated that during a brief phone interview
saying he could not respond to several questions about Brewer's whereabouts.
The governor would be gone Sunday morning to Saturday afternoon.
Hiking, perhaps?
Or maybe just getting some education. See, before she disappeared, Brewer was asked about global
warming being the result of mankind's pollution of the planet and she muttered
something about weather being caused by changes in the weather.
So, I'm hoping she's out getting an education, because she really needs it.
I think it's high-larious, though I'd never need it
..........
If you get my meaning.
I hate to judge .....
Hold on, giggle break.
.... but, sometimes I think if celebrities are gonna go all Botox-y and Hair Club For Men, they should just go away and stay away so we can remember them as they were.
I mean, ONJ's face is pulled tighter than Star Jones in, well, anything, and Groper Travolta's toupee looks like an old-timey football helmet.
It's.Enough.
