"When it comes to Mark Sanford, stimulus now has a new meaning."
In a surreal press conference, where for some inexplicable reason his aides allowed him to show up without a prepared text and even take questions from the media (!), Sanford apologized to his wife and family, to his staff and his state and his party, and resigned as chair of the Republican Governors Association.

He is term limited for 2010 and he only has a year and a half left as governor. But it's hard to imagine him staying in office much longer. Members of both parties have fought with him for much of his term, and many will be pushing him to leave.

He said he's known this woman for eight years but it became romantic about a year ago.

Sanford had made national headlines months ago when he refused to take stimulus money for South Carolina out of principle.

When it comes to Mark Sanford, stimulus now has a new meaning.

6. Thanks
:hi:
Marc Sanford on the Impeachment of Bill Clinton in the build up to the South Carolina primary in January 2008.


And I voted to impeach, because I think that, you know, moral legitimacy is one of the precursors to a legitimate legacy.

What a joke!
