You know, Mark Sanford voted to impeach Pres. Clinton for lying about adultery, right?

Yeah, South Cackalacka just elected some fool who swims in the deep part of the hypocrisy pool.

Fasten your seat belts, it's still going to be a bumpy Congress.

His Saving Grace, "Family Value" voters said he deserved to finish his term by a 9 to 1 margin.

"You know, Mark Sanford voted to impeach Pres. Clinton for lying about adultery, right?"

I was searching for a profound statement of hypocrisy as the silver lining to Sanford's win. I hope he becomes a thorn in the side of every Republican hypocrite, especially those who tried to distance themselves from him.

Lindsey Graham is up for re-election. This could be problematic for him.

Lapses in judgement, breaches of trust, committing at least one or more of the Seven Deadly Sins, oh, and outright theft, are not seen in a negative light here in South Carolina as long as there is an -R appended to your name.

What I meant is he will have to prove that he is sufficiently nuts. That doesn't always work out.
