Also from NYT:
John Rainey has called her “the most corrupt person to occupy the governor’s mansion since Reconstruction.” Haley, a Sikh American, has called Rainey a “racist, sexist bigot.”)

John is a great guy. Maybe Nikki can get some help before it’s too late.

Haley is not far removed from India and India style politics.
Her mother and father immigrated and she was born here, just like Obama….maybe?
Obama has proven he feels America is the Great Satan and has apologized all over the world. He makes apologies for our sacrafices and coddles our enemies!
Haley is NO different. She sells out Charleston South Carolina Port for a few shillings and a speaking opportunity, costing South Carolina billions!
Obama sells out the USA and costs US billions in funds and thousands in lives.
They are one in the same Obama and Ohaley! Too many similarities to ignore!
Obama has been a disaster and should have NEVER been given a second term, which is worse than the first!
Haley does NOT deserve a second term! It will be a GRAVE mistake. A second term for her will be a GAVE mistake!
Let’s NOT make that mistake!

Sources tell FITS Sanford would have never asked Haley for anything for himself – but was particularly stung that she chose to make him look bad in front of his son.

No one has to *make* you look bad, Mark, you do a wonderful job of that on your own.

If Sanford really said that he is either too crazy or too stupid to leave his house, much less be in public office.

Guessing June 26, 2014 at 1:40 pm

She was always the source of the liquidity is my guess. Even if he is as wealthy as others suppose with the plantation property, he is probably like many others of that type: land rich and cash poor. That is a bad combination in light of the economics of the development or recreational market for the last several years.

I’m betting Congressman is the best paying job he ever had including his stint as a young Wall Streeter and certainly since his return to SC.

Nikki sings, to the tune of “Moon River”:

“Two grifters, off to screw the world
There’s such a lot of world to screw
We’re after the same shameless end
With the rules we bend
Poon Tripper and me …”

Jenny Sanford, as we know, worked hard to help Haley get elected. Did she do it for Mark in spite of the fact that they were getting divorced or was this something she wanted to do on her own?

I sure felt betrayed by Sanford. He made a lot of promises, but his immature bickering w/ his enemies turned everybody against him, and made him totally ineffective as a leader.

But of course, in his truly narcissistic style Sanford still made the best of his (legislatively anyway) impotency, “crossing the line”

Hope y’all got to read this. If not, it’s a GREAT read about Sanford. Spot on (even award-winning) some are saying: http://scdigest.blogspot.com/2014/06/five-year-anniversary-of-sanfords.html

Just making a point. They are all the same. Corruption runs rampant in South Carolna’s elected offices. I’ve read many columns on all of them. They’re all pretty embarrassing and sickening.

To say corruption runs rampant, w/o any more support than you offer, is simply giving into the clichés of the easily led.
Corruption does exist, but it’s usually confined to specific individuals. So much of the other is personal attack based on

Over 30 years of state service on my record. I’ve seen more than I am willing to discuss, on State and County levels. There is truth to most of the “rumors”, however, too many in high positions are willing to cover it all up. In the end, it comes out, examples: Charles Sharpe, ex-Commission of Agriculture/cockfighting, Thomas Ravenel, ex-State Treasurer/drugs, Earle Morris, ex-Comptroller General/Securities Fraud, James Metts, Lexington County Sheriff on suspension/gambling. There are SO many others. It will come to light down the road. It always does. It may take years, a lot of years, but when al is said and done, I would love to ask them all, was it worth it?

Add all of them up, and divide them by the number o people in public office, and it would not even qualify as a small fraction, except technically…

The reason liberals feed you this “they all Do it” crap is to shield them from accountability…and to distract from their POLIVES, that are worse than corruption…

As long as you are crapping over yourselves, believing in these secret conspiracies, the liberals can rob us blind, as you try to bottle carbon dioxide, as evidence.

Wait, please stop the presses. Did Sanford really accuse Hailey of making him look bad in front of his kid? The Mark Sanford who skipped fathers day weekend to be with his Argentine “soul mate.” The Mark Sanford who tried to sneak back into the country to perpetuate his hiking lie. They Mark Sanford who stole money from the taxpayers to fund his liaison, and got off scot-free. . That Mark Sanford?
God I hate that pathetic taker. Two decades living off the backs of the taxpayers. How stupid are we?

A few comments from the NYT piece:

Hugh Centerville Wappingers Falls, NY

Last year, when both Eliot Spitzer and Anthony Weiner tried to resuscitate their political careers, both were soundly rejected in Gomorrah, I mean New York, where, apparently, Family Values matter more than they do in SC’s First Congressional District.

Jay Steinberg CA

A bit amazed this man will allow himself to be photographed on anything resembling a trail.

recox Princeton NJ

This story made me feel like I need to take a shower. Sanford would probably get a perfect score on the DSM’s narcissistic personality disorder test.
