Now let me start by saying that
Sanford should have been run out of politics forever, period. It’s not just that he cheated, though that is
bad enough. It’s also the fact he
abandoned his post. There were several
days in which literally no one knew where he was. On that day he decided that boning his
girlfriend was more important than doing his job. We should make sure his job never gets in the
way of that again.
So while I guess he was
marginally better than Elizabeth Colbert Busch, it was still a lousy
choice. I joked on twitter the slogan should
have been “vote for the louse, it’s important” a throwback to when Edwin
Edwards ran for governor against David Duke, with some wags putting up bumper
stickers that said, “vote for the crook, it’s important.” Just as Edwards had no business being in
politics, he was better than the other choice (though I don’t want to suggest
Ms. Busch was as bad as Duke by a long shot).
Still watching the left screech
about it on twitter was delicious, delicious fun. And none more so than Meghan McCain, who said
this:
@carolinemanzo I just can't right now. I am furious. You can lie and cheat and still get sent back to Washington!
— Meghan McCain (@MeghanMcCain) May 8, 2013
And if you look up the tweet, you
will see she is plainly talking about the Sanford election. Of course the most hilarious response to this
was from Iowahawk:
@meghanmccain if it wasn't for politicians cheating on their wives, you wouldn't exist.

Ouch. He knew he had a winner of a tweet:
What was the blast radius on that last tweet?

Could her entire career be all
about daddy issues? Well, the alternate
explanations are no dumber.
But less funny but more damning
is the fact that she wrote an editorial on the Sanford scandal back when. And what was the title of the article? Forgive
Mark Sanford.
Yep, read the whole thing. It is just as bad and hypocritical as it gets.
Could there be any further proof
that she just reflexively hates Republicans now? She asks them to forgive him and they do, and
she rages that this means that you can lie and cheat and get back in politics.
Only one of those sentiments might
be correct.

My wife and I have lost our jobs
due to the harassment of convicted terrorist Brett Kimberlin, including an
attempt to get us killed and to frame me for a crime carrying a sentence of up
to ten years. I know that claim sounds fantastic,
but if you read starting here, you will see absolute proof of these
claims using documentary and video evidence.
If you would like to help in the fight to hold Mr. Kimberlin
accountable, please hit the Blogger’s Defense Team button on the right. And thank you.

Disclaimer:
I have accused some people,
particularly Brett Kimberlin, of
reprehensible conduct. In some cases, the conduct is even
criminal. In all cases, the only justice I want is through the
appropriate legal process—such as the criminal justice system. I do not want to see vigilante violence
against any person or any threat of such violence. This kind of conduct is not only morally
wrong, but it is counter-productive.
In the particular case of Brett
Kimberlin, I do not want you to even contact him. Do not call him. Do not write him a letter. Do not write him an email. Do not text-message him. Do not engage in any kind of directed
communication. I say this in part
because under Maryland law, that can quickly become harassment and I don’t want
that to happen to him.
And for that matter, don’t go on
his property. Don’t sneak around and try
to photograph him. Frankly try not to
even be within his field of vision. Your
behavior could quickly cross the line into harassment in that way too (not to
mention trespass and other concerns).
And do not contact his
organizations, either. And most of all, leave his family alone.
The only exception to all that is
that if you are reporting on this, there is of course nothing wrong with
contacting him for things like his official response to any stories you might
report. And even then if he tells you to
stop contacting him, obey that request. That
this is a key element in making out a harassment claim under Maryland law—that
a person asks you to stop and you refuse.
And let me say something
else. In my heart of hearts, I don’t
believe that any person supporting me has done any of the above. But if any of you have, stop it, and if you
haven’t don’t start.
This is cool!
