Mark Sanford Reunites With The Reporter Who Exposed His “Argentine Tail”

“LUV GOV” WORKING THE PRESS …

S.C. governor Mark Sanford paid a visit to the offices of The (Hilton Head, S.C.) Island Packet this week – ostensibly to discuss the contours of the interior of his navel.  Or the nuances of “what it all means.”  Or just how deep inside the rectum of the “Republican” establishment he can crawl …

(Wait … we already know the answer to that last question, don’t we).

Anyway, the former “Luv Gov’s” visit to the paper – a regular occurrence – was noteworthy this time because he posed for a picture with Gina Smith, the reporter who ended his presidential aspirations in 2009 when she caught him returning from an undisclosed trip to see his Latin lover in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

What made Smith’s “gotcha” moment so impactful?  Sanford claimed he had been hiking on the Appalachian Trail at the time.

After being busted by Smith, the lovestruck politician wound up tearfully confessing his infidelity.  He then refused to shut up about how much he loved his “soulmate,” Maria Belen Chapur.

Sanford still won’t shut up about the drama between him and Chapur … who for some reason has stayed with him even after he called off their lengthy engagement in late 2014.  In fact he’s earned the nickname “Representative TMI” for his refusal to stop over-sharing about his personal life.

Anyway, Smith referred to Sanford as her “favorite politician of all time.”

“I’m always happy to see him,” she added.  “He’s a great sport who – unlike many of his brethren – does not hold grudges against reporters.”

Um, really?  We’ve had a vastly different experience with the “Luv Gov.”

Anyway, Sanford has been a profound disappointment since returning to the U.S. Congress in 2013.  Once a principled advocate for freedom and free markets, he’s turned into nothing but a corporate and partisan whore – one who invokes the divine right of kings whenever he’s criticized.

In other words, he’s not our favorite politician …

Still, we can’t be mad at Smith.  Were it not for her, this narcissist sellout could have been president of the United States.  The service she has done humanity cannot be overestimated.

Mark is flawed like the rest of us however he wrote the political playbook on how to ‘buck’ the establishment on both sides and still win elections.

Fits apparently has never forgiven Sanford for firing/getting(?) rid of him apparently for the criminal domestic violence incident and subsequent conviction.

I recall on election night in SC1 when Fits attended Sanford’s victory party and Fits reported on here that Sanford was cordial and said something like that he missed him.Despite the attacks from FitsNews on Sanford.

Life ain’t fair and we all make mistakes.Some of ya never Will.Sanford has proved to be the better man despite his personal failings, in my opinion.

If you were to remove all blacks and Latino’s from America’s economic and education statistics then America would be doing excellent. Our unemployment and poverty rates would be pretty low. Our rank in education would improve a lot. The welfare state would shrink incredibly. America would be on top! The fact is capitalism has not failed America at all. A lot of blacks and a decent amount of Latino’s have failed capitalism even with a moderate welfare state. Capitalism requires self-responsibility and many blacks and Latino’s have proved they lack self-responsibility.

Democrats are going to massively redistribute wealth by raising taxes very high on the upper class. You would assume this would cause the rich’s money to flee America but it won’t because the Democrats will have the government controlling them. The Democrats will create some law that keeps the rich in America. Socialism=control. People below the rich are going to get free healthcare, free education, probably free housing and a bunch of other free stuff all bought and paid for by the upper class. We will probably have a living wage which is a minimum income necessary for a worker to meet basic needs. Socialism should be able to last for a while in America since we have a strong upper class the government will be able to milk money from the rich for a while before America goes broke.

None of this other stuff matters.Elect Hillary or Bernie and the above is our future.

National Republicans are pulling the plug on Mark Sanford’s suddenly besieged congressional campaign, POLITICO has learned — a potentially fatal blow to the former South Carolina governor’s dramatic comeback bid.

Blindsided by news that Sanford’s ex-wife has accused him of trespassing and concluding he has no plausible path to victory, the National Republican Congressional Committee has decided not to spend more money on Sanford’s behalf ahead of the May 7 special election.

Ms. Smith deserves bunches of credit and she’s a “Spartanburg Girl” at that!!!
One odd thing though….FITS constantly slams that “dinosaur” called the “newspaper” (and printed media in general) but utilizes them for information and gives credit (where it is truly deserved) to reporters like Ms. Smith who are doing an invaluable and noble service.
*****Just wait and see if that draft-avoiding SOB Trump becomes Prez—that lying fake-assed sack of shit will use the First Amendment for toilet paper!!!*****

That’s right—you all-day suckers who keep reelecting this scumbag deserve just what you get

A thug-RINO-Boehner-supporting serial adulterer and liar who’s only begun to shaft you yet

But hey…I-Lie-To-Cons-And-Rip-Patriots’-Flag-WITHOUT-Your-Vote-Joe Wilson—yes…YOU

When we take out Mark-Sure-I-Left-My-Wife-And-Four-Sons-Sanford—you WILL go down, too !!!

Flag of patriots that seceded from the union so they could keep their slaves, sounds like a bunch of racist traitors.

He is disloyal, that being his number one character trait. I am sorry I voted for him, not ever again. I like Trump remember…..why don’t we see who we could get to replace him???.

This was probably prepared in 1999 or 2000
———————————————————–

Can you imagine working at the following company? It has a little over
500 employees with the following statistics:

* 29 have been accused of spousal abuse
* 7 have been arrested for fraud
* 19 have been accused of writing bad checks
* 117 have bankrupted at least two businesses
* 3 have been arrested for assault
* 71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit
* 14 have been arrested on drug-related charges
* 8 have been arrested for shoplifting
* 21 are current defendants in lawsuits
* In 1998 alone, 84 were stopped for drunk driving

Yes, these employees are the 535 members of your United States Congress. The same group that perpetually cranks out hundreds upon hundreds of new laws designed to keep the rest of us in line.

That’s it on that one. The site I found it on has about 5-6 other items that I also saved. Many humorous jokes/stories/etc. that I have can be updated and convoluted to fit a posting, but that one has to stand.

It was a celebratory mood for the boys at NASA; they had just made the scientific achievement of a lifetime. As they were uncorking a bottle of champagne, the head of the project, Dr. Wilson, asked everyone to be quiet as he was receiving a congratulatory phone call from the President of the United States.

He picked up a special red phone. “Mr. President,” said Dr. Wilson, grinning broadly, “after twelve years of difficult research and spending billions of dollars, we have finally found intelligent life on Mars.”

He listened for a second, and his smile gradually disappeared, replaced
by a frown.

He said, “But that’s impossible… we could never do it… yes Mr. President,” and hung up the phone. He then addressed the crowd of scientists staring at him curiously.

“I have some bad news,” he said, “the President said that now that we’ve found intelligent life on Mars… he wants us to try to find it in Congress.”
