Journalism Is Dead

The truth still might not have outed were it not for Gina Smith, the enterprising, Nancy-Drew-style, sleuth reporter from The State newspaper, who decided on a hunch to go to the Atlanta airport and caught Sanford getting off a plane in the international terminal—thus forcing him to admit he’d been abroad. Up until then, Sanford’s office had been sticking to the Appalachian alibi.

Yet, the full extent of Sanford’s irresponsibility might never have come to light were it not for Smith. It’s a reminder of how much we count on local newspapers to keep politicians honest at the state and city level—and how much we’re going to miss those reporters if and when their newspapers are gone.

Like I said before, way to go Wooten, you really nailed it this time. Typical – if you never look for problems, you’ll never find and then we’re all OK, right? Sorry, but a politician’s odd behavior is rarely just odd behavior. Paging Dr. Freud!

Dear citizens of South Carolina, This has all been a big misunderstanding. First, I never said I was going to the Appalachian Trail, I said I was going to get some Argentenian tail. It’s been real tough after the fight over the stimulus money. My personal belief is that people should have to stimulate themselves. If you work hard and make enough money, then you can afford to have someone else stimulate you. Personally, I prefer getting stimulated in South America, but this country can’t afford to pay for everyone else to fly around the world for their stimulation. We would be passing this debt to our children and grandchildren and I just couldn’t see doing that to little Javier and my other kids. Thank you and God Bless America, Sincerely, Mark Sanford

Copyleft,
The job you got working for Hilary is sorta like the reeeeeally scarey dream I had about her. She had on a skirt with a deep slit instead of pants suit. It was reeeeeeally scarey during the job interview:)

Sanford’s absence was actually probably good for the state. Such is the governing power of modern Republicans. However, his hypocrisy has most likely caused quite a crisis.

Of course, considering how consistently wrong Wooten (Mr. Right) has been on just about every issue he chooses to comment on, I don’t think his own impending absence will be much of a crisis either. (Except for those of us who come here to get a good laugh at what the silly monkey has written today.) Nice topic and title today, Wooten. And your timing couldn’t have been worse. I’m guessing you’ve heard that last statement from more than a few women in your life. Maybe that’s why Republicans seek to hold office- it’s the only way they can get women into bed.

Oh, and by the way, it’s not gay marriage that hurts the sanctity of the union between man and woman; it’s Republican politicians who do that.

Okay, I fess up to the fact I’m a name stealing douchbag who also writes under the names CHE, COMMIE AJC…and a host of others.

I’m as crazy as a rat in a sh*t house and have a fixation on masculine rear ends. I admit to being banned from Bookmans blog for talking dirty, and ….oops moms calling , got to go!

Victory in Iraq done happened and next week forces pull out from the fiasco. 3 bombs in 2 weeks. Mission bah Gawd accomplished you betchy betchy.

Still, the attacks have been chilling — especially the killing of the three Americans, whose 11-vehicle convoy of armored sport utility vehicles was headed into Camp Baharia when the bomb destroyed one of them.

About a week later, on June 3, the Falluja reconstruction team went to a meeting with local officials in nearby Karma. A sniper shot one of the Marine escorts, wounding him, but not fatally.

On Saturday, a bomb hidden in a parked car near Karma blew up and killed three members of a passing Iraqi police patrol.

Maj. Gen. Tariq al-Youssef, the Anbar Province police commander, arranged a street-level tour of Karma for a reporter with The New York Times last week. But the walk was cut short after just three blocks, and took place only after the general ordered dozens of Provincial Security Force troops to clear the streets and rooftops first.

Mission Acomplished you betchy. /we won that one. Ga.-Fla game okey-dokey.

So, Jim Wooten, how you gonna justify Sanford’s absence now?

Shucks, I forget!! You Republican hypocrites know how to spin, don’t you? You’re the masters at that.

And, Sanford voted for impeachment of Clinton! What a bunch of hypocrites. I know I’m repeating myself but it has to be said again … and again … and again.

Republicans are nothing more than hypocrites who know how to spin things to make their transgressions against family values okay but it’s not okay for anybody else.

Bah.
