Grover Norquist, R-Cretin

If you have to fly all the way to Argentina to get some ass I wouldn't call that irresistible.

Yeah but crying about it in a South Carolina press conference pretty much negates all that.

I'm a bit surprised that no one has pointed out that unlike his peers, this clown went for an attractive woman. This could very well be the first big heterosexual Republican scandal in years.

A real breath of fresh air after all the homosexual Republican scandals.

Lottza hot trannies in South America...just sayin'

Wait i'm confused, is Rush dating a Latin tranny or russian boy toy.... rumors are so confusing

He won't be long for his position.

He was just trying to stimulate the economy.

So, really, it was Federal money.

See - if we had much lower taxes, there wouldn't have been money for him to use.

In all seriousness, there was a lot of talk about him being the next rising star of the party, etc., and whether conscious or not - I think this stunt was because the attention he was receiving and the pressure to be the savior of the party was more than he wanted, so he went and did something rash to make sure he couldn't be the person the party is looking to.

Some Republican state lawmakers are privately saying they want Republican Gov. Mark Sanford to step down — of his own volition — this week.

Meanwhile, Sanford has spent portions of the last few days phoning key lawmakers and Republican Party activists, apologizing for his affair with an Argentinian woman that left him out of touch with his staff and other state leaders for the better part of a week.

On another note, a source close to Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer said Sunday that Bauer has approached members of the Senate to discuss the possibility that, if Sanford resigns, Bauer would only serve the remainder of the governor’s term, focusing on job creation, and would not run for governor in 2010 as Bauer had originally intended.

“(Lawmakers) have given (Sanford) 72 hours of breathing room,” said Katon Dawson, immediate past chairman of the state Republican Party, who said he has spent the last few days playing referee between lawmakers who want the governor out and those who want to give him another chance. “But I think, early next week, their patience will run out.”

Now he says she's his soul mate

But he's also committed to saving his marriage???

Okay then.

Sanford is a member of a right-wing, fundamentalist, heretical, tax-dodging, yet highly influential prayer group.

Some highlights of "The Family":
- Founded in the Depression to support capitalism, since they think the invisible hand of capitalism is God's hand and that socialism is a sin because it tries to control the markets that God is actually controlling.
- The group also has an alleged connection to a house in Washington, D.C. known as C Street, which serves as a prayer house and residence for politicians like Governor Mark Sanford, Senator John Ensign and Senator Tom Coburn.
- Sanford's King David allusion is not just wacky Bible references, but is straight from the preaching of this group, that he is like King David as someone who has messed up in his personal life but is anointed by God to be a leader so he cannot resign
- Heretical by any Christian standards, in that they believe they have special knowledge of God
- Believed that Suharto was a "man chosen by God" since he slaughtered commies like they were Canaanites

Wow. It's a good, if disturbing, listen.

Holy smurf.

These are the guys who organize the National Prayer Breakfast.
The President (the current one) is part of that event. It's too big to brush off. Ike was the only one to reject them, and that was in their first years.
Think about that.

God is everywhere!  Except when one is breaking their vows of matrimony.
