Another lie from Sanford. Tick, tick, tick…
The GOP’s lovesick puppy tells another lie, breaks another promise.
Via AP, Mark Sanford’s vow-breaking is a bad habit:
South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford has backed out of a promise to release personal financial records proving he did not use state money for trips to see his mistress.
…Sanford agreed this week to provide the AP with proof of his payment for trips to New York and Argentina to see her.
His staff first said the records might be made available Tuesday, and then the governor’s spokesman said Wednesday Sanford would not release them.
Like I said this morning: Lying Sanford’s days are numbered. Hurry up.
Someone needs to stage an intervention, stat.
***
Guess what? Sanford had a book deal in the works before Maria-gate hit. Maybe he’s hanging on for more material.

This guy is pathetic.
Sorry to jump off topic right at the get go on this thread but you’ve got to see this clip. I can’t believe the reporters seem to finally be giving Obama’s Whitehouse hell.
Helen Thomas, Helen Thomas of all people. I never thought I’d say…”Go Helen!”
http://www.breitbart.tv/white-house-reporters-grill-gibbs-over-selected-questions-for-obama/
I am in So. Car. for a few days, and local news says that Sanford wrote the state a check to cover his travel expenses. He’s seen as well liked, by those I’ve spoken with, and they think he should stay for his remaining 18 mos.
Sanford…!!!!
LEAVE already…!!!!
Fall on your sword already!!!!! Jeez
Unnamed sources from the McCain campaign have informed us that this is all Sarah Palin’s fault.
Snowfire,Thanks for the link. If I hadn’t seen it for mysele I’d never believed that Helen Thomas would actually notice the lack of “tranparency” in BO’s admin!
You are welcome. I’m still tripping myself. Astounded, not only that she thought it, but that she said it.
Governor William J. Lepetomane:
“Excuse me, gentlemen. The affairs of State always take precedence over….the Affairs of State. “
Gibbs really seems to have a hard time understanding that pre-selecting questions for a townhall meeting is nearly the same as writing them yourself. Certainly that process is not going to be random selection, especially considering the medium (Facebook, Twitter…).
I didn’t catch from the video, who is doing the selection?
CBS and Helen Thomas exposing this fraud… Who woulda thought?
Those financial statements may also contain record of gifts or support of his “soulmate” handing all the evidence in the world to his wife’s-soon-to-be hired lawyer. This guy is proving he has the IQ of a moron. Instead of growing a pair and now doing the job he’s been hired to do in SC, he’s giving press conferences.
The time has come.
The time has come.
The time is now.
Just go.
Go.
Go!
I don’t care how.
You can go by foot.
You can go by cow.
Mark Clement Sanford will you please go now!
You can go on skates.
You can go on skis.
You can go in a hat.
But
Please go.
Please!
I don’t care.
You can go
By bike.
You can go
On a Zike-Bike
If you like.
If you like
You can go
In an old blue shoe.
Just go, go, GO!
Please do, do, do, DO!
and is becoming a replacement for Michale Jackson on the Boring News of the Day. Out damn Spot and take Dick and Jane with you. If he doesn’t have a sword to fall on we could always take up a collection

Thanks for the link Snowfire.
Here’s a man who needs to resign as governor and then run for congress. He would fit in with the rest of the misfits very nicely. Maybe Franken can teach him how to lie with a joke.
Yep, Helen is like the crazy old aunt that visits and appears to be asleep during dinner, only to turn her head and say something completely rational. Skip is the surprise of the day.
I think he is jealous of the media attention Michael Jackson’s death is receiving…
so we can only expect more nonsense from this pathological liar in the coming weeks.

At the beginning, Gibbs says the selections are being done by “a group over at New Media.” People are supposed to email the questions via email, Twitter, Facebook and then they are being read and selected by the group. Anyone know who the “group at New Media” might be?
And Gibbs understands, he understands, he is just trying to cover up. Notice near the end when Helen Thomas says that he’s not answering the question and he says that’s because I didn’t know you were going to ask it. Bingo. They only have answers for questions they know of and approve before they are asked.
I about fell over when Helen said that reporters are notified the night before (a press conference, I assume) that they will be called on.
Just wow.
You just cannot miss Gibbs’ nervous giggles throughout the conversation. I thought Bush’s McClellan was lame, but Gibbs beats him by far!
I miss Tony Snow! God rest his precious soul!
Here’s my guess: http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/group/ObamaHQ/
Ditto the Bingo!
My sarcasm didn’t come across well. I understood that Gibbs was obfuscating. I just thought he was doing it poorly.
Where was the Huffington Post on all of this? Certain there’s a pre-arranged question from Iran that addresses all of this?
That is why I don’t want no goshdamn RINOS in any party that I am a part of. The McCains/Powells/Grahamnestys destroy you from the inside. As bad as the politics were in the last cycle, we might have survived it if Team McCain — which stole the nomination with outsider primary votes — had not been at war with the heart and soul of the party.
I had that bastard John McCain with a flaming passion. Somebody here always gets upset when I speak of my fantasy of spitting on the snake. But my saliva glands are excreting at this very moment with the thought of hurling a big, nasty wad of spit in his hideous face.

So the New Media is the group running
MyBO.com… no thanks, I have deoderant for that.
I’m believing that the Obamanation has his own version of Pravda and probably his version of the KGB.
This Hopey Changey thingy sucks.
His wife prolly wonders what she ever saw in this loser.
After watching the last primary season, I’ll never believe that the media’s agenda is the agenda of the people.
Those people crabbing about the pre-screened questions are the same people who brought us the “debates” where only Mitt and McCain got to speak 95% of the time. I don’t seem to recall anybody crabbing about no public questions then.
lol, yeah really, what a panzi.
Maybe he’ll switch parties. We can hope, can’t we?
Switch Countries would be better Zorro, and take away his man-card.
On MM’s homepage/sidebar there is a story on conservatives4palin that Rep. Bob Inglis (R-SC) made some goofy statement that Sarah Palin raising Trig is on par with Sanford going through his trails and tribulations with his family. Wasn’t Inglis another of our rising stars? Memo to self: Inglis is an idiot, mark him off the list.
Something doesn’t fit with this. Would require a vallient warrior with a sword. Here, we have a whiny adolescent politicant with perhaps a finger nail file. He could get a nasty cut…
Mell Brooks. Good stuff. Often think of committee meetings at congress as the campfire scene.
Mark — don’t go away mad.
Just go away.
I hope you meant “hate”. The alternative is too …. too…. much to contemplate.
Mark Sanford, Barney Frank, Al Franken, Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer, Chris Dodd, Rod Blagojevich, David Vitter… that which America deserves.
There’s a word for this kind of behavior. Feckless.
Is integrity becoming such an obsolete concept that no one even expects elected officials to have any? Are the people of SC continuing to support him, because, God help us, the next choice down is even worse?
Sanford fits the mold for the “new GOP” presidential candidate. He behaves like Gary Hart.
Hart to reporters: “If you think I’m cheating on my wife, I invite you to follow me around.” (or something like that).
Next day: incriminating pictures from the good ship Monkey Business with a bikini-clad tootsie on this lap.
Ahhh, those were the days… And Like Hart, Sanford still wants people to actually take him seriously. Monkey Business indeed.
are you some type of sicko send_me???
Perhaps HERE?
Here’s a good piece today by Breitbart’s Leigh Scott about this affair titled “Politicians Are What’s Wrong With Politics”.
LOL…I saw that I had made the error, but I didn’t pay enough attention to it to go where you did! My bad…very bad.
I did think the Governor wearing one jeweled glove, doing the moon dance and grabbing himself was a bit over the top
I heard that and my jaw dropped, asked myself ” did he really say that”? what a dolt…he’s actually worse than McCellen, who held the title.
I REALLY hope you get what you ‘want’ here MM. I just don’t know what will happen if Sanford finishes out his term. . . you know, the term he was elected to finish – democracy.
Everything will be wonderful if he does leave office (how you say ‘rainbows and unicorns’). If he stays in office, we’re doomed.
tick tick tick indeed. I hope it doesn’t just keep ticking or anything because this is critical.
You still aren’t being fair to Mark Sanford, but y’know what? I think he’s having some serious mental health issues. Really. I mean the way he’s digging his own grave via diarrhea of the mouth? Is he so stupid that he doesn’t know when to shut up? No. I think he’s having mental problems and he should submit himself for evaluation immediately. Actually, he may not be competent right now, so perhaps means to compel him to be evaluated should be employed. This dude needs help really badly.
Take a look around. Can you honestly tell me that America deserves better than that for which it has voted? Just look at our culture. Whom do we revere as a society? Who are the role models? What does this country consider “good”? “Evil”? How does our society view God? God in this country is nothing more than a figment of the imagination with closer resemblance to Santa Claus than Yahweh. It treats Jesus as a yuppie accessory on life rather than the Son of God with whom the Father is well pleased. By what standard do you believe that this country deserves anything other than what it’s getting and going to get?
I maintain begging for forgiveness from anyone other than God and his wife is an exercise in futility. The rest of us don’t have a dog in this fight. We’re simply estounded at his total lack of morals and juvenile behavior. Why he still thinks others need/want to know the tabloid details elevates this whole sordid affair way higher than the position he holds.
WHO FREAKING CARES WHAT THIS JERK DID?!?
No one seems to care what Barney Frank did with gay Fannie Mae exec Herb Moses and their sick disgusting actions in and out of the sack destroyed this nations economy.
As far as I can tell Sanford found a way to shut up a reporterette for a few hours a month, which looking at what passes for journalism is never a bad thing. Hell he deserves a medal. Maybe we can hook him up with Helen Thomas.

Ah, the class of the conservative movement.
I’ve said it before but I must say it again . . . get rid of this bum before he causes anymore damage.
How could this be happening? He’s a responsible conservative Republican family man. Look into his eyes. He’s not a shifty liberal! I blame the MSM!
Please lay off the good Governor. You have NO idea how bad the rest of the Repub party is here in SC (think Teddy Kennedy w/ Foghorn Leghorn’s voice). You have no idea how bad our Lt Governor is either.
I’ll take a lovesick puppy over spend drunk scumbags any day of the week
There is an antidote to team mccain, and it’s here
I’ve seen many manic liberals become Republicans in the twinkling of an eye but this is one of the few times in public a serious Conservative has melted down in a pool of blubbering, self serving liberal.
