I know it is supposed to be mocking Sotomayer, but I quite like it. I would be flattered.

To the Republican Gov of SC Mark Sanford:

You are an idiot. Resign.

Alex 06-24-2009 02:57 PM

I don't know yet if he's an idiot. I haven't seen a picture of this Argentinian woman.

I don't think an affair is a reason to resign but if he truly did leave the state without making arrangements for his absence then that seems good enough reason.

Also, "I'm walking the Appalachian trail" is now my code phrase for meeting with girlfriends. Don't tell Lani.

So "Walking the Appalachian Trail" means "Getting some anal in Argentina"? Works for me.

I liked the refrain in his announcement:

"Don't cry for me, Appalachia."

That's OK, 'cause Mark Sanford does. MS should resign just as he called for President Clinton to do after the Lewinsky affair.

Ghoulish Delight 06-26-2009 07:25 AM

No he "shouldn't". It's just as hypocritical for the people who defended Clinton to now be calling for Sanford's resignation as it is for Sanford to have been calling for Clinton's only to have an affair of his own.

If he decides to resign because of it that's his choice. But I my opinion has not changed since the Lewinski affair, infidelity is not reason enough to demand someone's resignation.

His Argentinian stimulus plan.

Strangler Lewis 06-26-2009 07:28 AM

It's not enough reason to demand Sanford's resignation. It is, however, enough reason to indulge in mocking him as being unfit for office by his own terms.

Alex 06-26-2009 07:35 AM

And I suspect that Sanford probably (though I haven't seen the quotes) didn't call for Clinton to resign because he had an affair but rather to resign because he lied under oath about the affair (yes, convenient political cover but a not entirely invalid distinction).

And so, similar to what I said. The affair is not reason for Sanford to resign. How he went about having the affair (simply disappearing for several days) may be.
