Former S.C. Gov. Mark Sanford wore a sweat-soaked T-shirt, jogging shorts and tennis shoes on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives this week.
Why? Because he apparently didn’t hear that the U.S. House of Representatives – the chamber in which he served from 1995-2001 (and was re-elected to earlier this year) – had moved up a series of votes Wednesday evening.
Rather than trying to grab a quick shower and change of clothes, Sanford improvised.
“For the most part, he stayed sheepishly in one corner of the long hallway, hovering near one of the chamber doorways to monitor when he needed to run out onto the floor and cast his votes and trying to ignore giggling reporters,” reported Roll Call‘s ‘Heard on the Hill,’ which broke the story via one of its tipsters.
Eventually the former “Lov Guv” – who somehow managed to come back from his 2009 political implosion – donned an aide’s jacket, which only made him look more ridiculous.

Reached for comment, Sanford said he was trying to “pull a Jadeveon,” referring to the exceedingly casual attire worn by University of South Carolina superstar Jadeveon Clowney to the S.C. State House earlier this year.
UPDATE: Obviously we’re kidding about that “pull a Jadeveon” quote. Sanford knows absolutely nothing about football, as evidenced by his repeated references to getting various political reforms “to the 99 yard line.”

It’s part of his “mystique” don’t you know?
Hope he paid for the dry cleaning of his aide’s jacket….
He is sending it to Tripp’s at Five Points and hopes that they won’t charge him.
Oh, that only works if he’s got a better tan and a case of “the sugars”
Woolite.
Sink in public restroom at US Capitol.
Air dry in front of open window in office.

Actually just Sanford “the rules don’t apply to me” narcissism. Ain’t I handsome and hip in my jogging togs?

If Sanford is willing to get on the football field and take out opposing QBs, he can start dressing like JD. As if Spurrier would let a sad case like him on the field.

Obviously he does not live in his office otherwise he would have been able to change his clothes quickly. By the way, where are they living? In Virginia?
There is more to this story on “Heard on the Hill”.
He was just multi-tasking, so he could get home in time to eat Belen’s paella (before it got cold and dried out.)
Just the thought of that makes me want to puke. A cold-dried out paella. Do you thinkThe Luv Guv “smacks his lips when goes down on Señora Belen?

Forget the casual attire. How did he miss this bit of information and if he missed this, what other information is getting lost?

So the rules of proper attire only pertain to the black members. Stay classy SC repubs.

The Gimmick Governor has moved up from sleeping in the office and making plywood signs I see.

What’s the problem? Sanfraud was merely demonstrating the respect he has for Congress and, most of all, his constituents. All those sheeple that voted for him can say that at least he is not a Democrat.

How did he vote?
If I have to guess it would be “Nay” That’s his favorite word..
I though his favorite word was “¡Hola!”

Looks like today is The Sanford News Day-first with Mark voting in shorts and Jenny offering sympathy to Wiener’s wife, Huma.

Where are the pigs ?? Sandman is a helpless fraud who knows nothing about being well mannered at all. Given his silver spooned life you would think that he would be the exact opposite of himself.
No just a hygienic challenged buffoon !

I feel so much better knowing that the majority of US District 1 was born out of state. It is the carpetbagger district. It’s good to know it will be under ocean waters in the not too distant future.

This is great!
Rep. Mark Sanford (R-SC) “wasn’t aware the House moved up Wednesday evening’s vote series, and he was caught en flagrant delit excerciso, racing to the floor in sweaty attire and borrowing a dark blazer to attend to the people’s business on the floor Roll Call reports.
Asked Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA): “Where have you been? Hiking?”
Banging Belen?
