Last week, Democrat Elizabeth Colbert-Busch remained silent while her opponent for the vacant South Carolina first congressional district – former S.C. Gov. Mark Sanford – saw his “comeback campaign” take a major hit.
Colbert-Busch (or at least her advisors) followed the tactical wisdom ascribed to Chinese warlord Sun Tzu – and later Napoleon Bonaparte – which holds that you “never interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake.”
And so they kept their mouths shut while Sanford started taking water over trespassing allegations leveled by attorneys of his ex-wife, Jenny Sanford.
That’s sound strategic advice … among the many pearls of wisdom to be found in Sun Tzu’s masterpiece, The Art of War.
Of course there’s a flip side to this wisdom – which we shall refer to henceforth as the “Sanford corollary.”
“Never compound the mistakes you have already made.”
Unfortunately for Sanford, he can’t seem to stop compounding the mistakes he made …
First, let’s flashback to 2009 when then-governor Sanford gave his infamous rambling press conference at the S.C. State House acknowledging that he had been unfaithful to his wife. Given Sanford’s status as a potential Republican presidential candidate, the event was national news – and it became an even bigger story given the quirky and non-scripted (i.e. authentic) manner in which Sanford handled it.
Of course what could have turned into a potentially positive process story about copping to infidelity quickly wound up back into the minus column when Sanford simply wouldn’t shut up about his affair and the various feelings it aroused in his loins (as well as his overburdened heart).
Fast forward to this month – which began with Sanford convincingly capturing the GOP congressional nomination for the first district seat and opening up a decent lead over Colbert-Busch.
That’s when the wheels fell off though … or when Jenny Sanford decided enough was enough with this whole “comeback” thing.
Somehow (ahem, Jenny), the Associated Press obtained “sealed” court documents showing that the former governor was scheduled to make an appearance next month before a Charleston County family court judge.
The allegation against him? That he trespassed on his ex-wife’s property without her permission back in February (and apparently on several occasions prior to that).
Sanford copped to the February trespass, too … claiming he was watching the Super Bowl with his 14-year-old son (who was home alone).
The incident hurt Sanford – as evidenced by the results of a new poll in the district – but heading into this week he still had an opportunity to recalibrate the race back on the bread-and-butter fiscal issues
Of course that’s when he decided to run a full-page ad in Sunday’s editions of The Charleston (S.C.) Post and Courier explaining himself (again) over the trespassing incident.
The letter began with the line “it’s been a rough week,” which rubbed a lot of people the wrong way given that the previous week featured a domestic terror attack in Boston (which killed three people) and a massive explosion at a Texas fertilizer plant (which killed at least 14 people).
“Just when you thought Mark Sanford had outdone himself, he raises the bar on his own ridiculousness,” wrote columnist Jonathan Capeheart for The Washington Post, describing Sanford’s full-page ad as “doubling down on stupidity.”
We concur …
Sanford’s “rough week” comment (like his prior “wounded warrior” remark) was bad enough, but that’s not the real damage done to his candidacy by this ill-advised letter.
Once again – at the very moment he should have been pivoting away from his personal drama and back onto the issues that could carry him to victory in this decidedly Republican-leaning district, Sanford chose instead to veer into the self-indulgent.
Why? There’s really no rational explanation … other than the man simply cannot help himself.

Any lawyers here? Is releasing sealed court records a crime?
Is leaving the state as chief executive and lying about it??
No, it isn’t or he would have been impeached. Wrong? yes. Illegal? no. Theres a difference.
The strange thing here is this. He fucked up. Okay. But, since when does a governor have to tell anyone where he is vacationing. I’ve never heard much about former governors vacations while in office. Why did the dumbass not tell his staff that he was taking vacation at an undisclosed location and carry a cellphone? I mean, did Jenny believe he was hiking? She should have been the only one that he had to mislead. Or, did the dumbass tell her that he was on official govt business and then just disappear?
My long grueling point is this? Regardless if Mark Sanford wants to fuck a bunch of monkeys in Birmingham, Alabama and smoke crack all week if he can’t come up with a better plan that that how in the world can he be qualified to outwit, outfox, out negotiate other legislatures on Capitol Hill on behalf SC? How can he negotiate anything successfully? Better yet, don’t you think that the Dems up there are drooling at the thought of compromising him over acts that he has probably already committed but have yet to come to light? They are pissing all over themselves with joy at the thought of setting Sanford up and if the real truth were known Mark Sanford is probably thinking along these lines: “I tried the right way and I got crucified. This time around I’m going to take every thing that I can squeeze out of the job. Fuck a cot, fuck morals, Hi, I”m Mark Sanford, you are a lobbyist, here is my private line. Call often”
For Christ’s sake, Jake Knotts brought him down and look how smart he turned out to be. Governor of SC is a silver spoon job, US Congressman – ain’t likely.
LOL!
Lobbyists give the best cocktail parties with free booze and food, payola, and maybe some travel perks too. Sanford is going to want to impress and show-off Chapur, so he will be like a moth to a flame under their influences this time around. Moral and ethical lapses? Welcome to our party!
My understanding is that only the Final Order (dividing up property, granting the divorce, etc.) is actually sealed. Not the whole file.

Jenny was the brains behind this couple, not to mention the money.

Yep, he’s a narcissistic sociopath. It’s obvious. Thing is, so are 95% of pols holding office.
Btw, the AP probably obtained the sealed court documents the same way you obtained Thad Viers text messages.
Agree. No rational explanation for that idiotic and ill-timed “rough week” ad, so “narcissistic sociopath” fits the bill.
And aren’t Donehue and Sawyer repping him? Why did those two bozos think that ad would be a good idea? Maybe they suffer from the same disorder.
I don’t know much about either of them, but Donehue comes off as a back stabbing double talker who is not that bright. Sawyer called me years ago when he was much younger over an e-mail I sent over some gov’t waste when he was working for Sanford many years ago.(that’s when I thought you could change gov’t)
He was pretty green,though seemed genuine…but at the end of the day admitted to me that he/Sanford were powerless to do anything about it and the conversation ended weirdly.
I don’t know if he was looking for donor support or something, but obviously when you tell someone you can’t fix gov’t the you aren’t going to get money for further support of such nonsense.
Sanford is truly a moron in my estimation, as another poster mentioned it seems obvious to me that Jenny was the one making him a success. The fact that Sanford even hired Donehue, who called Sanford a “despicable human” or something to that effect really says everything about both of them.
Yeah, all evidence so far definitely points to Mark Sanford being a success because of Jenny Sanford. Without her – or with her torpedoing his candidacy with his help – he’s floundering.

At last Sanford is helping us CONSERVATIVES WITH VALUES politically get rid of him forever!!!!! His rise and fall is so much better than no comeback attempt at all because now we REAL CONSERVATIVES see how Harrell, Byars, and other power sucking/values dumping Republican “Leadership” were willing and ready to GROVAL AT THE FEET OF HIM WHO HAS VIOLATED ALL WE CLAIM TO STAND FOR!!!!!
When you lose your soul (finding your soulmate!), you should lose your office!!! Bobby Harrell knew 3 years ago AWOL Sanford should have been impeached, but NO, he didn’t have the ____ to do it!!!
GREAT POST…You are correct. Great to see a poster GET IT!!!
Also: The reason they balked at impeachment, is that Sanford got a gaggle of leftwing reporters hired at the SC Policy Council (still there.) along w/ FITS.
They were full-bore plundering through the private lives of the legislators…and ready to pull the trigger, at the first move to Dump Sanford’s sorry @$$…
Great insight on the background dynamics-believing every word of it!
PS: On May 7th it will be A GREAT DAY IN SOUTH CAROLINA!
Wrong, he did not get impeached because he was a Republican. Republicans do not care about sex scandals or much of anything else, unless the person is gay or a Democrat.
But the issue that I have is why did all of the so called CONSERVATIVES in this State elect Haley in 2012 – obviously a more adept liar than Sanford and her sins are just as bad as Sanford (he just more stupidly truthful and unfortunately more conservative than Haley).
But when it comes right down to it – both are adulterers and CANNOT be trusted.
But can someone give me a good explanation of why Haley’s adultery is any worse than Sanford’s.
The real issue here is the Republican party in this State allowing numbskulls non conservatives to run for all types of positions in this State – if the person does not support Republican conservative values, then the Republican party should refuse to allow them to run as a Republican and let them run under another party’s banner.
Did you really need Sanford and Haley’s follies to figure out the rest of these “elected” leaders are bums? Do you honestly believe the good people in their districts will oust their home boys?
We need TERM LIMITS – but in this State, you cannot even get this on the ballot without legislative approval. Most southern states have the same oppressed rules. Do you think our esteemed Legislators are going to let us vote on rule that is going to get rid of their golden eggs??

The worst part of Sanford: He is aloof, and thinks everything the people of this state gave him, was because he is such a GREAT and Awesome guy.
Sanford thinks he did everything ALL on his own. He thinks no one helped him (or did it for him, like his ex-wife)…
He never realized that he was making promises, and the people supported those pledges, not his Selfish, pampered and Egotistical @$$. He is just a stupid actor, folowing lines.
The Best Part of Sanford: He is just a clueles now, when he needs all the people he has F*%$ed over…
So let’s get out of his way: And let him show us how He does it ALL BY HIMSELF!!!

If you believe in TRUE LOVE,you’ll vote for ECB,reason being….If Sanford goes to DC he will have less time to spend with his soulmate. As a private citizen he will be able to spend weekdays in Argentina with two magnificent parts, and weekends in SC with his boys.In this case a loss is a win for these two impassioned lovers (gag),and for Sanford’s sons……..not to mention a really big win for SC.

in 1863, William Travis had been dead for 27 years. Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

Mark Sanford is in a tunnel..He looks forward and sees light. He looks backwards and he sees light. Then he hears a horn. Mark Sanford is trying to figure out which light is the train and the only people who will give him sound advice cannot get his ear. He has a secret and it is looming large I’m afraid.

The ad in the P & C references Travis at the Battle of the Alamo. However, the date got screwed up, and according to the Sanford ad, the battle took place in 1863, not 1836. Thought we were involved in some other little skirmish in 1863.
Sanford really does fuck up everything he touches.
According to the “Art of WAR” …..all war fare is based upon “deception”…!! This latest salvo by Mark Sanford is brilliant..!! Of course having WIl Folks play along is just the cake..!! Would Alexander the Great have done any better with an expose’ in the Post and Courier…!!? Women love DRAMA and Mark is dishing out more than “Days of Our Lives”…!!
Mark’s next move at the next debate will be a classic counter punch. He will treat Colbert-Busch just like Rhett Butler did Scarlet O’hara..!! All he has to do is ask Cobert-Busch about the OIL deposits and reserves in Chechnya…!!! …..and of course wink and smile when he asks her if there are any WIND TURBINES in Dagestan…??!!!

I don’t like ECB but if you keep feeding the pigs they are going to keep coming back to the trough. I wish someone with a little substance had run against him from the start and this wouldn’t be a story. I love SC I just despise our politicians.

Sanford says he went into Jenny’s house with his14 yr old son because he didn’t want his son to be alone and Jenny was out of town………well he lied again….seems the 16 yr old son was already at the house doing homework….Does he even know how to tell the truth?

HE CALLED HIS MISTRESS/FIANCE “LONG SUFFERING.” LOL then he claimed he didnt know she would be appearing on stage- which is either a blatant lie (my guess) or he’s an idiot for not knowing. its pretty safe to assume- since he has proven himself to be a habitual liar, that he knew she’d be there and he just can’t tell the truth. the picture of his son’s reaction says it all. he should have taken out a full page ad apologizing to his wife, sons, and the entire state A FEW YEARS AGO, right before RESIGNING and pledging NEVER TO HUMILIATE SC by ever seeking public office again and committing himself to real, selfless public service, not shameless self promotion MASQUERADING as public service. HE LIED WHEN HE SAID HE WOULD HOLD HIMSELF TO TERM LIMITS AS WELL- as he’s already served his SELF IMPOSED limit of terms in the very office he’s running for. maybe the most pathetic aspect of his most recent return to infamous notoriety in the public sphere is how he continues to refuse to take responsibility and accountability for his actions, THIS TIME USING HIS 14 year old SON AS AN EXCUSE for his own personal failure to fulfill the obligations he agreed to in the divorce contract. BLAMING YOUR 14 YEAR OLD SON IS AS PATHETIC AS IT GETS and proves he is completely unfit to even lead a boy scout troupe. that said, i still think he will win for one reason: the idiots who voted for him count ’em: 1, 2, 3 (first runs as dstrict 1house rep- not even counting any of thoise primaries), 4, 5, 6 (2002 guv primary and 2 guv elections), 7 (dist 1 primary), and 8 TIMES (runoff) are DELUDED FOOLS/GRAZING SHEEP who are not only incapable of self-reflection or admitting they had been bamboozled by this clown(certainly not critical and indepedent thought), but fear the act of self reflection more than ANYTHING, therefore they will reinforce all their past actions by voting for him for at least a 9th time.
I’d say you’re really sticking it to him…..
