    If you cannot finagle a simple intercontinental love affair with all the privileges of elected office at your disposal and the wretched state of South Carolina backing up your treachery, much as they did for Ol' Jesse Helms since two days before God made Adam, then you, sir, are unfit to govern. Step down and make way for someone with better trade craft, asshole.

    He brings extreme dishonor and shame on well-dressed adult men when he wears a button-down collar with a suit and tie. Impeach his Philistine ass!!!

    Please. Much as I'd love to see this guy forced out of office for being a fucking moral majority hypocrite, what he did isn't at issue. It's that he got CAUGHT. How many of the Republicans and Democrats calling for his head are sneaking off for liaisons right now?

    @SybilDisobedience: They are not considering impeachment because he stuck his willy in a woman other than his wife. They are pursuing the ethics claims because of misuse of government funds and equipment.

    I could care less about the liaison, but I do care about using tax dollars to fund a booty call.

    @momof3wildkids: Oh, I totally agree. I was just bitching about all the clowns lamenting his affair when I imagine a good chunk of them are conducting liaisons themselves. I totally agree that the ethics violations should be the focus here.

    @momof3wildkids: They are pursing the ethics claims for one reason, and one reason only: they think it makes them look good in the next election if they do so - same as he thought during the Lewinsky [sham/circus/parade]. Lest you forget (as if you could) the Atty General of my fine state tried to lock up Craigslist's owners for facilitating prostitution just weeks before he announced his bid for the Governor's seat - and he's just one representative of the all-show, no-go type of politician that's kept us in the running for dead-last-in-everything for far too damned long.

    I hope they nail him to the wall. I could care less if he was boning some Argentine booty, but he should be impeached for the ethics violations.

    As much as I think Sanford is a tool, his desire for Clinton to be impeached was based, at least in part, on the stupid lie he told rather than the affair itself. [www.huffingtonpost.com]

    Of course, most U.S. Muslims don't shoot up their fellow soldiers. I mean, look at the Black Muslims. They're so busy raising their fists in the Black Power salute and combing out their nappy afros, it's a surprise that they find time to serve in the military. I'm not saying they're the best (in fact they waver between uppity and shiftless), but you can spot them by following the fried chicken crumbs and watermelon seeds.

    We need something to let us spot the Jihadi Muslims. Sure, their crazy eyes are a dead giveaway; but by the time you get close enough to see the crazy eyes, they've set off their bomb-vests.

    I used to think that I had a foolproof way to identify the Jihadi Muslims from their moderates, but then I found out that those guys with the dots on their foreheads are Indians and there is no such thing as a Hindu Muslim.

    Someone said that there are slope Muslims but I don't buy the idea that the guy bringing me Chicken Chow Mein is a Jihadi. Last time I checked, Asia was nothing but Chinks, Gooks, and Japs.

    Now you might think that sweeping generalizations are a bad thing, but they allow us to deal with a large problem in an expedient manner. The Afro-American soldiers are usually pretty loud and foul-mouthed and they usually have gold teeth. But they serve decently enough.

    So how is it a problem to view all Muslims as Jihadi Muslims until they show that there is a non Jihadi kind of Muslim? In fact, the more I think about it, those Black Muslims aren't real Muslims.

    This is not Islamophobia, it is Islamo-realism. #polls

    I like the idea of the jihadi detector but you'd have to build in some safe codes in case someone wearing one is near a Taco Bell..... because eating a TC burrito is like rigging your ass with explosives, and the last thing you want is Allahu Akbar alarms going off when you're about to commit jihad over a toilet bowl a couple of hours later. #polls
