Those Wacky Republicans
It’s a new week so there must be an update on Republican Soap Operas.
Mark Sanford’s girlfriend says she found out about their breakup when he posted it on his Facebook page. And that little tidbit was interesting enough to make The New York Damn Times. She says they had just spent great week in Paris where “we were like in a honeymoon.”
Mr. Sanford had been appearing publicly with Ms. Chapur more often. During the interview, Ms. Chapur relayed her elation over a recent visit the two had made to a parade in South Carolina, where, she remarked that women and men alike appeared to embrace her position at Mr. Sanford’s side. It had led her to conclude, “It was worth it, because people realize that it was a love story at the end of the day.”
Hell, it’s South Carolina. They were just relieved that he didn’t marry his sister.
And then Sarah Palin jumps up and says it’s not as bad as it looks. Okay, so maybe it is, but she needs attention.
With a live band, dancing, and the former governor rocking red-white-and-blue high-tops, everyone seemed to be having a good time.
But then, some words were exchanged. And that’s where the stories diverge significantly.
“Words?” Nooooooo. Can you even imagine Sarah Palin getting in trouble with words?
What could possibly go wrong when Sarah Palin is exchanging words?
Next week: Is Newt Gingrich going to sanctify marriage one more time?
She was the Belle of the Brawl.

1Can you imagine the right-wing outrage if this had been a Democrat?
2I was in Jenny Sanford’s position a number of years back (w/o the media coverage, thank you Lord) and thought I’d handled my own marital mess well but Jenny Sanford’s dignity and restraint–especially considering that most of it was displayed in the media–was humbling.
3Mark Sanford on the other hand does not even seem to understand the whole situation. “Divorced” for example means you can no longer wander into your ex-spouse’s home w/o permission and that including your mistress–who you are now legally able to marry–in family gatherings might be unpleasant for your minor children.
The only thing worse than white trash is white trash with money.
4daChipster – especially if all that money means entitlement and substitutes for brains!
5nearly elected? She finished dead last in a two horse race. That ain’t nearly nearly elected. Palins are always the victims. Never fails.
6Apologies for forgetting who was first to ask if Palin still had some Tina Fey looks and not taking the time to answer a very apt question.
Tina Fey still looks great and has an active, successful career. Meanwhile, Sarah is sagging faster than a glacier in denial. If all goes well, we’ll not hear her name next week and she’ll be off the media radar screens before November.
Comedy Central is her last hope. Yeah, imagine that, Sappy going one on one with Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert. Not gonna happen. She’s too cowardly and the comedians have plenty of relevant politicians to lampoon.
BTW Louie, please hold your breath waiting for an invite.
7Here is a comment or two from the Mudflats,where they have actual stick figure renditions of the Palin brawl.

When Error Failin’ was running for VP, she liked to talk about her patriotic son who was serving in the Middle East. What she didn’t tell you is Track Palin was given a military or jail ultimatum by a judge after he and several of his friends were caught slashing the brakelines on a bunch of school buses parked at the Mat-Su Borough School District bus depot in Wasilla, potentially putting thousands of kids at risk and causing tens of thousands of dollars in damages.

8Someone at the school bus company told me (& a lot of other people in the room) that it was 27 buses. They were shocked.
