… AGAINST MARK SANFORD
|| By FITSNEWS || Eager to cash in on her fifteen minutes of fame from last week’s contentious debate over the Confederate flag, S.C. Rep. Jenny Horne is making plans to run against U.S. Rep. Mark Sanford for the Palmetto State’s first congressional district.
Multiple sources have confirmed Horne’s intention to challenge Sanford – who won a special election for this seat in 2013.
What a race, right? Two emotional wrecks who have zero use for the truth … one a longtime fiscal liberal (Horne), the other a recent convert to the dark side (Sanford).
“Forget a runoff, will there be a cry-off?” one Palmetto politico joked, referring to Sanford’s tearful 2009 confession of an extramarital affair and Horne’s emotional speech calling for the removal of the Confederate flag.
Yeah … really. Is it too much to ask for a grown-up to run for this seat?
To say nothing of a supporter of freedom and free markets?
In addition to his ideological betrayals on a host of issues (most recently, Obamatrade), Sanford’s return to office has been marked by all sorts of fresh personal drama. He’s been a disaster on all fronts, in other words … but should he be replaced by Horne?
Eh …
A longtime fiscal liberal and staunch supporter of South Carolina’s failed government-run school system, Horne has represented S.C. House District 94 (which includes parts of Charleston and Dorchester counties) since 2009. She was reportedly in line to receive a judgeship after her aggressive (and ethically questionable) lobbying on behalf of corrupt S.C. chief justice Jean Toal back in 2014.
That plan has since fallen through …
“Crying is good for the national media,” one GOP legislative leader told FITS. “Not so good for judicial temperament.”
With her judicial aspirations officially kaput, sources close to Horne tell us she debated whether to run against Sanford or join a crowed field for governor of South Carolina.
Guess she’s made the call … although it’s worth pointing out the former doesn’t necessarily preclude the latter. If Horne runs and loses to Sanford she could still conceivably run for governor in 2018.
Assuming these are the only two options on the ballot for next spring’s GOP primary, we weep for the citizens of the first district. Seriously: They deserve better – and we need better in Washington, D.C. Much, much better.
Of course we’re not going to lie: A Sanford versus Horne matchup would literally explode our servers, driving tons of traffic to our website.
Beginning with the 2012 election, the first district has run along the Palmetto coastline from the Georgia-South Carolina border up through Charleston County – areas where Sanford has historically done well at the polls. It also includes a big chunk of rural Berkeley and Dorchester counties, which is Horne’s backyard.
Take a look …

Colonel, whoever Is doing these memes should look ahead. If Horne beats Sanford in the election, the meme could be him sitting in a buckboard wagon, straw hat tilted back, shoulders hunched down, and looking at the ass-ends of TWO JENNY’S pulling his wagon..!!
The ass end of two Jenny’s – I don’t think they make monitors big enough to show that…
Maury Povich —— where are you?
My favorite respond ever on the Maury Povich Show was by a black male to a black female accusing him of being the father of her child. The guy was standing in front of the picture of the child, and then pointed to the child’s face and proclaimed, “That can’t be my child, he ugly, he bald headed, his eyes are too far apart, he look like a damn Ethiopian.”
He WAS the father.
Even with Mark Sanford being Mark Sanford, Jenny Horne doesn’t have a snowball’s chance of beating him.
Here she is with her other family.

Isn’t that her brother on the right?
It’s her house boy.
Well, she did say she was related to Jeff Davis. ..
Looks like Darius Rucker. I’ll need to check the “Official Guide to Jenny Horne Familial Relations”.
I think she said Darius was a music student of hers come to think of it…
As Gomer would say, SURPRISE! SURPRISE! SURPRISE!
I am not in that district, but she should save her money. Maybe she is related to Alf Landon.
Do ya’ know what is going to drive Mark into a maniacal fluster, and possibly into a deep maniacal depression? Shifty knows! It’s how many times Mark is going to hear the nam “JENNY”..!!
Oh Jenny!!
Yeah, which one?
That will definitely tighten up his ole sphincter.

I’m hoping their will be two Jenny’s and two Sanford’s in the race.
Two Jenny’s would split the anti Mark vote and likely result in either a runoff or a straight up win for the “Luv Gov”.
I’m hoping for a Jenny.
Although, if she refers to herself as “Hornee” he might have different thoughts about her….
If she’s cryin’ she’s lyin’

Talk about “ugly cry.”
As usual, a lesser of the evils!
The Republican Party is sucking big time.
Almost anyone would be better than Sanford, lying, cheating, responsibility shirking, mentally imbalanced adulterer.
I knew there was a good reason for all the grand standing last week. Think of all the hundreds of thousands of campaign dollars South Carolina politicians have saved over the last 3 weeks.
Emotional wrecks get SUCH a bad rap these days.
BREAKING NEWS!!! Jenny Horne announces her own Argentine connection! Says she’s a direct descendent of Juan and Eva Peron.
+ 1,000 —- terrific!
That’s interesting. Is she single?
Has it ever really mattered Mark?
Not really. Well, okay, kind of. My weenie doesn’t do well with competition.
Markie,
It’s payback time! You’d never want to miss an opportunity to back-hand your former spouse.
Remember her commercials for Ginny, where she dissed “Mark”???
Don’t cry for me Carolina!
Et tu Jenny?

Next on Honey Boo Boo; Mama June runs for Congress.
Jenny with her distant Cousin, Anderson Cooper. Don’t question it, her maiden name is Anderson.

Everyone
can thank this snake in the grass as well for the Confederate Flag
coming down! I hope this has encouraged all people to go out and vote
next time to keep these morons OUT of OFFICE!
“…and that’s coming from a descendant of Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Martin Luther King, Jr.!!!”
Jenny Horne and Chip Limehouse – identical twins separated at birth
Both have DNA which confirms that Cowboys did in fact hump Buffaloes
… and they liked it!!!!!
Why don’t any of your candy-ass sources ever go on the record?
Why would they?
I wonder if her ancestral claims will be used against her if they can be proven/insinuated as untrue.

Go Jenny!
Jenny Horne, that crying, lying bimbo from Summerville. She made me sick with her made for TV crying act. She and that sorry Mark Sanford belong together. Both should run off together to the Appalachian Trail via Argentina: Adios you Padrones!
This redneck cow can’t make it past 4pm without a drink. It’s pretty well-accepted by those familiar with her at the statehouse that she’s an alcoholic. By the late hour of her “speech” – she was drunk. She’s one of those women who cry when drunk – and yes, it’s an ugly cry. We’re all just lucky she didn’t wet herself in the process. Please, please let someone run and get elected who won’t embarrass our state.
Worst crying I’ve ever seen.She ain’t no Meryl Streep.
She’s as good as Nikki.
She couldn’t even wait a few months for the connection between her crying binge and her own ambition to be a little less obvious.
That’s just plain dumb. I can’t see being much of a campaigner if she’s that stupid.
—- on target
Jenny is about to learn the Bill Runyon lesson. You help black Chas. Democrats all your professional life, and they still vote for the one who gives them the price of a box of chicken.
Fuck you, racist, redneck scumbag!
No thank you. I’ll pass that on to your mom.
More like descendent of Brian Williams.
Liar? Check
Hysterical? Check
Perfect for congress.
Are Jenny Horne and Converse Chellis still having an affair? Bumping nasty at the Marriott? Blubba- can you imagine that stink?
Do we really want to be known as the state that voted a “direct” descendant of Jefferson Davis to federal office?
We all saw how she behaves when her womb flips over, I would not vote for her if she run for the office of dog catcher.
Ummmm…Kemosabe…let’s see now—a PC-grandstanding-patriot-bashing-liberal
slut for ANOTHER arrogant serial-lying adulterer…well let’s see
Tonto has put a TRUTH meter to both and the needle did NOT
move so…hey—looks like anybody ELSE with a modicum of conscience for me !!!
