Here is the known dingus, Governor Mark Sanford, saying some thing about why he doesn’t want to spend the stimulus money on stimulation. Instead he would like to use it to pay off some loans. President Obama told him no dice, so now Sanford is literally taking food out of the mouths of poor South Carolinians and shoving that food into a giant incinerator full of money. Literally.

This guy needs to go to Oregon to learn about legal stimulation. Get consent first, then anything goes!
God Damn, I can’t WAIT until China decides to ask for their money back.
Blingy! …oh, wait.
That’s very principled of you, Governor. Now explain why that principle only applies to 10% of the stimulus money.
Sanford misheard the old Boy Scout pledge: “Do a Good Turn Daily” became “Drop a Good Turd on Your State’s Face Every Fucking Day”
That backdrop really doesn’t help his cause. Sanford should sell his island plantation and move into a hovel to help reduce the state’s debt. Then I might consider listening to him.
He forgot to sing “Won’t You Be My Neighbor”.
Per dollar of federal tax collected in 2005, South Carolina citizens received approximately $1.35 in the way of federal spending.Is Gov. Sanford ready to return the northern monies that have been floating his state since reconstruction?
One Yield Regular: You don’t actually expect this man to hobnob with known Negroes now do you?
Haha. “Broken ways our government operates” or whatever. The award for zero self awareness goes to the obvious closet case from South Carolina.
Look, if he’s responsible for those loans he has to pay them back. Is he going to pay off my loans? No, so fuck him.
He looks like a dog, whimpers like a kitty, and has the brains of a guppie. Is anyone ever going to make him admit that his state was taking in more Federal $ than it donates to the nation’s coffers (as in, ahem, redistribution of wealth) LONG before this extra stimulus was offered? Is he going to balance his damn budget without that, too?
Eeeew, he’s so unctuous, and a really bad actor. All his lines sound phony. He actually makes you miss Strom Thurmond, who was an insane old addled racist coot, but at least he was real about it.
Yes, these problems were caused by too much government debt and not, say, not enough regulation on Wall Street.
I know libruls are supposed to be against literacy tests for voting. But in the case of South Carolina, the state in which liquor stores must be marked with a giant red dot since the populace could not otherwise find them; can we make an exception?
Noodle Salad: Somehow, I don’t think giving us (the North) our money back is what he means by debt reduction. Where was he during the Bush years, are spend and borrow Republicans to be preferred to tax and send Democrats.?
Gov. Sanford obviously a big, huge fan of truth in advertising.
He’s not nearly as lovable as Redd Foxx.
What’s really great about this video is when you realize that the government debt he doesn’t want to burden future generations with is not being CREATED by the stimulus money, but rather that HE created the debt ALREADY, and he just wants to burden the current, unemployed generation with it by stealing all their economic stimulus.
I liked him so much better as Delmar in “O Brother, Were Art Thou”.
“Paid for by Carol Innyan’s Furry Farm”.
Well, I do have to say two nice things about Sanford. He isn’t as dumb as Lyn Westmoreland. He also isn’t as crazy as Michele Bachmann. But on the downside he isn’t nearly as hilarious a wingnut wackaloon as Palin or any of the rest of the Alaska Clampetts.
Mr Spittley GayVoice needs to get fucked more, in the mouth, to stop his talking. then maybe he can die.
Let them eat tea bags.
Did he say “Idint”?
I said it before and I’ll say it again, why the LONG face, Sanford?
