    Instead of being shocked or amused, I have to admit that this is the kind of cynical crap with which I've always associated the coastal (Atlantic and Gulf) South. Flaky, arrogant governors; tornado temper wives; a voting public ravenous for great gossip and not really giving a damn when it comes to electing such characters; and all of the dogs and ponies our eyes can feast upon - all served up with some civil sounding bon mots laced with dual meaning.

    Then again, I've always marched to the beat of a different Yankee drummer.

    @Mean_Ol_Liberal: As someone born into Wallace's Alabama in the eighties who has watched nearly every state governor's administration implode in some catastrophic "oh my genteel heart, let us observe this to death while not learning anything from it" way, I think you've hit the nail on the head. This sort of crass crap is tailor made, but only for those willing to consume it. After having seen many of my home state's political leaders end up in the clink, and watched the nepotism that comes alongside electing social figures to higher office (bless her heart, she's wonderful, we have no idea what she actually stands for or believes), I would've thought the electorate would be at the point where substantive qualitative policy would decide their votes. Alas, if this had happened in Alabama, they might have already made her the new governor. The cycle continues forward.

    Fun fact about the Sanfords: they met at a Goldman Sachs mixer (they both worked there) in the Hamptons, where I'm sure they drank white wine and ate arugula, just like liberals. So much for his "aw, shucks, I'm just a good ole Christian country boy (grew up on a plantation)" routine. I think they're both abhorrent, but she's definitely the brains of the operation.

    @ParahSalin: She's not southern; she's from Chicago, from a Catholic family. And she's got her own money and now she is seeking her own vengeance. Tons of lip service with the ol' forgiveness line, but she made him, and now that he crossed her, she will ruin him, once and for all.

    @BookishLookish: Oh, I know she's got more money than he does - she's the Skil Saw heiress (insert your own penis severance joke here). They met in NYC when they both worked for Goldman, which I always like to bring up, since Republicans always scoff at libruls hanging out in the Hamptons drinking white wine. She was also his closest political ally, and I think she engineered his rise to power, and I suspect you're right - she will ruin him. Rumor has it that she's going to stick with him to make his life a living hell, but I suspect he's going to amble off to his plantation in Beaufort, or to Argentina, and she'll end up with her own media company or political career. She's kind of like Sarah Palin, except with brains, class, and money, which is kind of scary.
    Another fun fact: for some reason, which I don't really know, all the other Republicans in the state hate him, and this was true even before he embarassed himself and the state so badly. I'm not sure why, I wish I knew.

    Devil's Advocate: Is it better or worse (for his wife or in the general concept) that Gov. Sanford 'fell in love' with another woman instead of just hooking up with the random skanky 'ho' like politicians usually do?

    @Lysergic Asset: Don't waste any sympathy on Sanford, he's a class A dick. I seriously wanted to take a nine iron to his SUV when he said he wouldn't be extending unemployment benefits for South Carolinians, but he would instead be praying for the unemployed. He doesn't realize we can't all marry Skil Saw heiresses. The good news is the Republicans here are now in a bit of a pickle - the Lt. Gov apparently is a closeted big Mary, so they are left with replacing an unethical, lawbreaking, adulterer with a homosexual, or just leaving the adulterer in office. I know what you're thinking "aren't closeted homosexuals and Christian adulterers the base of the Republican party?" Well, yes, but they're not supposed to be so goddamned blatant about it.

At the same time Sanford was bawling like a lovesick 15 year old girl, we had a guy get arrested for screwing a horse...for the second time!!!!!! I always picture the horse looking over it's shoulder and going "Jesus, not you again." I guess he really was in love with her. I mean the guy with the horse, of course, not Sanford.

    @Lysergic Asset: Obviously a random hook up with a skank is better because a real man falling in love with a woman is sooo gay.

    I have no respect for this jack ass. And I don't think it was "love" so much as falling for the romance, danger and excitement of the whole thing. But I do think there are all kinds of double standards and stereotypes about manliness at play.

    @MisterHippity: One night a long time ago, I was wandering around campus, when I spotted an owl in a tree and a girl laying down looking up at it.

    Maybe because they were scheduled to perform a concert the next evening, I convinced myself that it was Stevie Nicks, so I laid down in the grass nearby hoping to make a dream come true.

    Neither of us said a word and eventually after maybe half an hour, she got up and floated away. To this day, I swear that it could've very easily been Ms. Nicks, but since I was tripping on acid at the time, I'll never know.

    @naugahydeinplainsight: Mrs. Biden let it slip that Obama offered Joe his choice of SoS or VP, with whichever one he didn't pick going to Hillary. So a 2012 (or sooner?) switcheroo is entirely conceivable, seeing as Barry considers them both qualified for either job.

    And Biden, believe it or not, has been rumored to be the most dovish member of the new administration. I would welcome the switch (that is not going to happen).
