Ha! Sanford schedules ANOTHER press conference for today.
COLUMBIA, South Carolina (BNO NEWS) -- South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford will hold a news conference on Thursday afternoon as pressure on him to resign over a year-long affair continues to increase.

"Governor Mark Sanford will hold a media availability at 3.30 p.m. today to shed light on recent political developments," said Ben Fox, a spokesman for the governor. A specific reason for the news conference was not immediately given.

I'll tell you the "specific reason", it's because Joe Wilson is stealing the spotlight. If ANYONE is going to shame the Republican party in South Carolina, it's going to be Sanford, god damn it!

:rofl:

I suspected we'd hear from him today.

And did you know that Wilson's son is running for SC Attorney General? He announced this week.

1. They really don't know when to sit down
and shut the f*ck up. But I welcome their oral diarrhea.

6. We don't have jobs,
but we have entertainment.

Sanford needs to STFU. He's going to apologize, explain, and whine some more.

8. But will he get asked about Wilson?
And, if so, what will he say?

I mean, he keeps giving the same presser over and over again, the reporters have got to be running out of questions.

9. Hmmmmm.....
I don't think he will say much about Wilson unless it is to start some story that will wind its way back to himself.

13. No, no,

14. Exactly. If you look closely, you can see the red draining out of SC.
Rob Miller only lost to Wilson by 8 points last election...and that was with no money and no DCCC support.

Miller now has $183,000 in his war chest as of this post.

4. To explain his remarks from his last presser?
Or to say, "At least I didn't embarrass South Carolina as bad as Joe Wilson! I'm a-stayin'!"

16. I think Sanford will need to be thrown out (impeached)
His arrogance knows no limits.....Anyone who would stay in a job where they are not wanted is going to have one miserable life at work.

20. Wouldn't that be funny if he just asked Wilson to resign but ignored the calls for him to?
That would be perfect. I want Sanford to resign cause he's an a-hole but if he asks Wilson to resign for his yelling last night, I'll let Sanford stay in office.

23. His wife is shopping for a book deal...
Mark Sanford's No Good, Very Bad Day: His Wife Is Shopping a Book

What do you think is worse news to South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford: That some 60 State House Republicans have called on him to resign? Or that his wife Jenny, who he cheated on, just shopping a book?

26. This is as bad as Blago
He's begging to keep his job - too much fugging explaining and explaining.
