Welcome to The World's Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc.
My name is Susan DuQuesnay Bankston. I live in Richmond, Texas, in the heart of Tom DeLay's old district. It's nuttier than squirrel poop here.
I am honored and privileged to know Miss Juanita Jean Herownself, hairdresser extraordinary and political maven. Since she does not have time to fiddle with this internet stuff, I type her website for her and you can read it if you want to. If you don't, she truly does not give a big bear's butt.
A lot of what I post here has to do with local politics, but you probably have the same folks in your local government.
This ain't a blog. Blogs are way too trendy for me. This is a professional political organization.
It’s a cheap stunt, sure, but Mark doesn’t have Jenny’s inheritance to bankroll him these days, and licensing Clint Eastwood’s debating-a-stool act is *expensive*.
1And that “stool debating” went so well, oh, wait!
2Please note the crowds of people around him………
3Had to add this to
UPDATE: 5:45 p.m. — Rep. Pelosi’s office responded to the “debate” between Mark Sanford and a cardboard picture of the House minority leader. “The only people who took this seriously were the people at Kinko’s,” said Pelosi press secretary Evangeline George.
SNAP!!
4I’ve heard of “straw man” arguments, but this is ridiculous. Isn’t Mark a bit old to play with paper dolls?
5Hey Mark! You’re not running against Nancy Pelosi. She’s represents the Pacific Ocean side of things, you’re 2500 miles away on the Atlantic. Remember? Follow my finger with your eyes. OK, what’s your name? What’s todays date?
6Slowly, but surely, the man is imploding.
7And how’d that work out for Clint n’ Mitt? Ahhh, those darn skewed polls.
8Thanks, Rick! Poor old Mark.
Granted, I’m old, and I sometimes find myself mumbling a bit to myself. Luckily I haven’t started debating inanimate objects yet. Is this some new sort of fad with Republicans?
9Hope that debate didn’t take place on his ex-wife’s property.
10Sanford’s “debate” took place outside a medical university which was fortunate due to the availability of a straight jacket and intravenous anti-psychotic treatment. He was heard to repeatedly scream, “It’s all your fault!” at the piece of cardboard.
11Isn’t Jeff Dunham from around there? He makes a lot of money arguing with himself. Maybe Mark is trying to ride Jeff’s coattails.
12Is he trying to convince us that he is better than cardboard? More eloquent? More dynamic? Maybe he is right, I know Clint Eastwood convinced me that he is better than an empty chair–unless you want to sit down.
13@Rick: Forgive the man. Sure Pelosi is from the West coast but when you are geographically challenged as in trying to find an east coast mountain trail in South America, he would be a little confused.
14This must be Sanford’s version of Flat Stella, “Flat Nancy”. Is he going to go around the state having his picture taken with Flat Nancy? He’s really creeping me out with his obsession with Pelosi; the FBI should take a closer look at this guy.
15Who looks more one-dimensional—the Pelosi cut out or Mark Sanford? I rest my case…
16OMG! Did he for real debate a cardboard cut-out? Is this The Onion?
17Just when you think that Mark Sanford can’t possibly do anything dumber . . .
18Voters in Sanford’s congressional district have the same reaction to this pathetic stunt. Here’s one comment to the story in the Charleston daily paper, The Post and Courier:
“While Nancy Pelosi is one of the most disliked political figures, this isn’t California or New York. This is South Carolina. What doesn’t Sanford embrace his own party? That’s right they ditched him. I don’t know what everyone was thinking in the primaries.”
19Real men aren’t too cowardly to debate real women.
Wonder how long it will take his Argentinian love to find out he is no more than a clanging brass and tinkling cymbal?
20Republicans like to invoke “Nancy, Nancy, NANCY!” the way Jan Brady whined about “Marsha, Marsha, MARsha!”
As for the debate: rock breaks scissors, scissors cuts paper, paper beats empty suit.
Paper Nancy, FTW!
21Next up for the Mark of Zero…our philandering hero debates a Ted Kennedy bobble-head…
22I had to google for a larger version of the photo to be sure, but have now confirmed: Those are cheap, flimsy, fold-up *music practice stands* that the two debaters’ notes are propped on! Not even the heavy-duty solid stands that you’d find in any band hall or choir rehearsal room. His campaign must’ve blown the last of their funds getting the Pelosi poster made. Kinko’s indeed!
Actually even funnier are the two desperate little hands, just the fingertips actually, of whatever poor staffer had to stand behind the poster and hang on for dear life so it wouldn’t crash & burn and fall as flat on its face as Sanford himself is doing. What I would’ve given for a well-timed gust of wind to come along while the cameras were there!
Laughing out loud here. How pitiful, how ridiculous, how *desperate* can this guy possibly be?! I have exactly NO sympathy. Jerkface.
23Kay: Having been a long-time music teacher, I spotted the music stands cum lecterns too.They underline the absurdity of Sanford’s futile attempt to gain press coverage for himself. What a feckless dimwit!
24The last I saw his approval ratings were in the forties. Those must be the people who confuse the cut out with a real person.
25Here’s another sign how this election’s going to turn out. Among those responding to an online poll today by the Charleston (SC) Post and Courier, 73% thought that Sanford’s debating a poster of Nancy Pelosi was not an effective campaign technique, while 27% thought that it was. The genders of the respondents were 79% male/21% female. It’s pretty clear that Sanford’s campaign troubles aren’t limited to women.
26A picture of my dog could beat him.
