Bravo spmat. Bravo.

Moralizing from leftists has about as much meaning as fire prevention tips from arsonists. Even less so when the sermon is chock full of hateful rhetoric like “snowbilly kin” and the like. The Trueslant piece is just so much calculation; this Roston has no more respect for Mrs. Sanford than he does a housefly. He would just as easily pillory her for some other imagined offense, on her part, her husband’s or her children’s, if she were in the way of his policy goals.

Every word that comes from a leftist’s mouth can be evaulated using a very simple metric: what do they believe will be the net effect of what they say? There is no essential “ought-ness” to their words, no “cry of the soul.” These are the people that decry any universal standard of conduct or moral code as discriminatory, narrow-minded or hateful, so there is very little point in trying to sync their words with any rational or consistent ethic. Such things are for “snowbillies” and rednecks.

That said, Sanford will be punished, as he should be.

And the kicker is, IT AIN’T THAT TUFF to do either. (almost said hard… Insert Bevis and Butthead snickering here)

But, Sanford could redeem himself almost immediately in the eyes of his detractors. All he’d have to do is Switch Parties and become a Dem. They’re expected to be corrupted scumbags.
Prollem fixed.

The heart may want what the heart wants, but get a divorce first.

Wonder how much of that money the wife will keep? He better have some authentic business skills. MBAs are a dime a dozen.

Once again, he was a very successful businessman before he entered politics and still is. Your denigration of other people’s education and success tells me that you have neither.

Exit question: So we’re all agreed that “hiking the Appalachian trail” is now officially sexual slang, yes?

Because we all need more sexual slang in our lives….

What is it with these so-called men? They act like a bunch of adolescents. Grow the hell up!

In the words of the immortal Fred Durst and his headache inducing garage band, Limp Bizkit:

I came into this world as a reject
Look into these eyes
Then you’ll see the size of the flames (size of the flames)
Dwellin on my past (past)
It’s burnin on my brain (ah)
Everyone that burns has to learn from the pain
Hey, I think about the day (days)
My girlie ran away with my pay
When fellas came to play (play)
Now she’s stuck with my homies that she f*cked
And I’m just a sucker with a lump in my throat, hey

Like a chump, hey
Like a chump, hey
Like a chump, hey
Like a chump, hey
Like a chump, hey
Like a chump, hey
Like a chump, hey

Should I be feelin’ bad? (no)
Should I be feelin’ good? (no)
It’s kinda sad I’m the laughing stock of the neighborhood
And you would think that I’d be movin’ on (move it)
But I’m a sucker like I said
F*cked up in the head, not!
And maybe she just made a mistake
And I should give her a break
But my heart will ache either way
Hey, what the hell, what you want me to say?
I won’t lie, that I can’t deny

I did it all for the nookie, c’mon
The nookie, c’mon
So you can take that cookie
And stick it up your (yeah!)

Why did it take so long? (why)
Why, did I wait so long, huh?
To figure it out, but I did it
And I’m the only one
Underneath the sun who didn’t get it
I can’t believe that I could be deceived (but you were)
Not by my so-called girl, but in reality
Had a hidden agenda
She put my tender, heart in a blender
And still I surrendered, hey

Like a chump, hey
Like a chump, hey
Like a chump, hey

I’m only human
It’s so easy for your friends to give you their advice
They’ll tell you, just let it go
It’s easier said than done
(I appreciate it) I appreciate it, I do, but
Just leave me alone (leave me alone)
Leave me alone
Just leave me alone

And nothing gonna change
You can go away
I’m just gonna stay here
And always be the same

And nothing gonna change
Cuz you can go away
And I’m just gonna stay here
And always be the same

(mixed part)
And nothing gonna change
Cuz you can go away
I’m just gonna stay here
And always be the same

When dudes get baby batter on the brain, they do really stupid stuff. Really, really stupid.

I think the point is that BC showed a psychological aberration in his general orientation to women evidenced by a sequence of improper interactions. He didn’t have to in an 8 yr development of the relationship. To him it was just pussy imo.

That said, I have no sympathy for the gov…just pity, and disappointment and anger at his stupidity and lack of perspective in relation to whats happening in this country right now. The timing could not have been worse.

I said that when Slick Willie was doing his thing is the Oval Office, and it’s still true.

So we’re all agreed that “hiking the Appalachian trail” is now officially sexual slang, yes?

I feel like an ass for not having seen that coming.

No. “Hiking the Argentinian Appalachian trail”

juanito on June 25, 2009 at 12:23 AM

How about “Hiking the Argentinian Tail”?

If you are a Republican, you are a POS, and are toast.

If you are a Democrat, you are given a pass, and you are appointed to powerful committee boards.

Period.

If his wife had been fighting breast cancer, he’d still be a viable candidate for the Democratic Presidential nomination, right?

Well that or if he had left a woman to drown in his car while he met with his lawyers trying to figure out a way of getting someone else to take the blame.

Y’know I’m never going cease being amazed that that scumbag managed to stay in office and will probably die hailed as some kind of hero by the Dems and the MSM (but I repeat myself.)

I like to think of myself as a good person, but I’m afraid the only thing I want for Teddy is that in his last moments on Earth he goes through the same agony gasping for breath as his unfortunate victim, Mary Jo.

Just weakness, pure weakness. Not necessarily a character flaw like Bubba, but just weak. I have no pity and am greatly disappointed.

I’m curious about your value system. Why is this different?

Oh wait, because he wrote those e-mails?

If Bill had just expressed emotion, eh?

Real equality? Women already have about 75% of the money and 100% of the pu**y. How damned much more equal do they have to get?

I laughed when I saw this.

Just remember, they get this when they are no longer able to enjoy it all.

:)

I have no pity

ultracon on June 25, 2009 at 1:06 AM

Dittos. No man gets to be governor, pitches himself as a leader among his people, without a high degree of self-confidence. When men like this fall it is from pride and lies not from a surfeit of romance and tenderness.

He’s a liar and a traitor to his children, his wife and his God.

I’m with Michelle 1000%. To hell with the f’g bastard.

“hiking the Appalachian trail”

And then there is Bill Clinton, and I look at the reaction of the left on the President who’s name became synonymous with cheap thrills, and I wonder why anyone really cares what Sanford did.

Women are attracted to power. There’s no absence of enticements from women in these guy’s lives. The same will eventually be true for women, but right now, women have to work too long for real power. By the time they get it, they aren’t really interested in that game.

But, real equality will arrive. :)

It takes a long time to hike the Appalachian Trail but swarmy Sanford was off the beaten path for 8 years…that’s too long.

He never struck me as a major contender, really. Just another guy.
