I’ve Got The Money, Honey, If You’ve Got the Time
It seems to me that Mark Sanford is now Hiking the Fruitcake Trail.
Here’s the strangest damn story you’ll hear all day. Mark Sanford, the former Republican Governor of South Carolina who got caught having a torrid love affair with an Argentina hottie, is now running for Senate, you know, where he could take more international trips lookin’ for love without raising suspicions.
There had been speculation that his first wife, Jenny, who is more popular than he ever was, might run for the senate seat herownself. She decided against it. Their divorce was not a pleasant event and she says they rarely even speak to each other.
So, Mark Sanford, who is even more delusional than the required amount it takes to be a Republican, hatched a plan.
At the funeral of a mutual friend, he asked her if she was going to run for the senate seat. She told him no.
The very next day, he went to visit her.
According to Jenny, she had already told Mark she would be taking a pass on the race the day before, at the funeral of a mutual friend. So when Mark came to visit her, he arrived with a proposal. “Since you’re not running, I want to know if you’ll run my campaign,” he said. “We could put the team back together.”
Jenny told him, in so many words, that wasn’t going to happen. Mark made one last appeal.
“I could pay you this time,” he said.
Republicans – where money is the motivation for damn near anything.
Thanks to Brian and David for the heads up.
Mark Sanford has more crust than a nickel pie.
1Being delusional seems to be a requirement for Rethugs these days.
2Yeah, Jenny Sanford will be helping Ole Lovebird Mark about the same time Sandra Bullock starts cheering for her ex- IMBECILE Jesse James to win an Oscar~
3TTPT.
“more crust than a nickel pie” roflmfao, never heard that, what is origin?
4DRAT – I’m slow today…as in “thick” kinda of like my brain today. I read “more rust”- gotta be Monday.
5So many words? I’m guessing two.
The institution Mark Sandford belongs in is not Congress. (Though the House Repub caucus might qualify.)
6Those are some mighty big huevos! He’s lucky she didn’t smack him clear into next week!
7I think she should do it.
You know how Colbert can damn with faint praise? Think what she could do, from the inside.
Win/win for her. She collects money and torpedoes his chances.
8The only thing good I can say about ole Mark is that he knew who was the smart one in the family, and it wasn’t him.
9It is my understanding it is all her money anyway. She doesn’t need to be paid for no stinkin campaign managing.
10@Eykis—My parents used to say that. It’s a companion piece to “Doesn’t know his ass from third base.”
11That man *seriously* needs to be whacked upside the head with a Clue-by-Four!!
12Reminds me of the old boyfriend who shows up on your doorstep, more than slightly inebriated, wanting to sleep with you one more time. He’ll even pay for the pizza.
13Hey Sanford – just take a hike. This time leave your cell phone on so your current squeeze can check on your whereabouts.
14If she really wanted to rub a little salt on the trail, she could host an Argentinian themed fund raiser for Lulu Colbert.
15I didn’t know Argentina had a seat in the U.S. Senate.
16I don’t think hiking is the problem here. I think he’s been smoking some that stuff that’s now legal in Washington state.
17Yeah, imagine the expensive campaign consultants she could hire to drain Mark dry…
18Bless his heart.
19Jenny could easily squirrel Mark’s campaign for anything, including dog catcher, with a phone call or two & his funding would dry up.
20I’m seriously hurting myself, bustin’ a gut laughing at this fine example of negative IQ. I honestly didn’t understand that a man could be that stupid. I am now disabused of that notion.
21Men of Sanford’s ilk have a personality disorder which prevents them from empathizing with others. That’s why he thinks the electorate won’t hold his dishonesty and betrayal of public trust against him. The very fact that he expects the voters to support him again shows this deficit in character. That’s some chutzpah!
