Mark Sanford sympathizes with Joe Wilson (critical mass of teh stupid)
Mark Sanford has spoken out on the plight of another embattled South Carolina Republican, Rep. Joe ("You Lie!") Wilson. But you could be forgiven for thinking the beleaguered governor was speaking more personally.

Referring to Wilson, Sanford told South Carolina's CN2 News:

The guy apologized, and then you can have a bunch of other people come back and say, 'We want you to apologize again and again and again.He continued:

At some point in all of life, the question is not, 'When is someone going to make a mistake?', but 'When do the rest of us move on? He apologized to the president. Does he have to issue 25 more apologies before folks will leave him alone?

Well, Sanford is spending his time going around to every place with a stoplight and whining and apologizing. He needs

STFU and resign.

2. I wonder ............
Is it possible that all the stupidity in the world is somehow finding its way to South Carolina, and maybe the rest of us are going to be a lot smarter by the time the drainage is complete?

Boy, I bet Strom Thurmond is really pissed off that he's dead and missing all the fun.........................

A quick explanation for the thick Mark Sanford
When you do something offensive in a room full of people, you need to apologize to that room full of people. It's cheap grace for the class disruptor to stand in the the principal's office and mouth a sing-song "I'm sorry." No, it's fitting that he apologize to the whole class whose time he wasted with his antics.

By the same token (npi), it's fitting that Addison Graves Wilson Sr. apologize to the room full of people he offended and the occasion he disrupted. See, that's what a grown-up would do. But I'm not too surprised that you wouldn't know that.

4. What a idiot.
Well, there's nothing like crazy to pat crazy on the back.

Wilson was reprimanded because he would not apologize to the House. And probably fundraising on the statement and his "persecution" probably had something to do with it, too.

6. This is the idiot who sympathized with Sarah Palin
He claims to be the victim of ethics investigations that are totally frivolous. He thinks that Palin has also been unfairly accused of ethics violations. Who will he sympathize with next?

7. I bet he won't be sympathizing with Acorn....
can you imagine him saying, "Hey, they apologized, can't we all move along? Everyone makes a mistake now and then. Cut them some slack, for crying out loud!":P
