Governor Mark Sanford will probably face impeachment hearings for his behavior last spring. The most serious charge will deal with the fact that no one knew where Sanford was for several days, including the Lt. governor of the state.
Republican state Rep. Greg Delleney told CNN his resolution lists three charges against Sanford: dereliction of duty for leaving the state to visit his mistress in Argentina in June; attempting to cover-up the scandal; and bringing “disgrace and shame and ridicule” on the state.
“If that is not serious misconduct in office, I don’t know what is,” Delleney said of Sanford’s actions.
A missing governor is not all that’s happening down south. There is more “disgrace and shame and ridicule” where that came from. A former Republican activist, Rusty DePass, has made some extremely unfortunate remarks about First Lady Michelle Obama while commenting on an escaped gorilla.
South Carolina should change its state nickname from the Palmetto state to the EMBARRASS ME state.
IF HE OFFENDED ANYONE? Wait, why does this statement need a qualifier? Of course he offended people. Why would anyone, even if they lived in a cave, not know that you just don’t say things like this!
The state motto is Dum Spiro Spero (While I breathe, I hope.) Is there a Latin phrase about a state full of political jackasses?
