Heroic Joel Sawyer Abandons Adulterous Patriarch

Famous harried slave and recipient of comical e-mails Joel Sawyer has regrettably tendered his resignation as Mark Sanford’s spokesman, although it is unclear as to why. Perhaps the Washington Post’s Chris Cillizza should resend this e-mail to procure his latest Fix! [AP]

    I just sent Cillizza an email:

    “Douche, is everything ok?”

  2. magic titty says at 3:01 pm, July 17th, 2009

    Maybe he’s maneuvering on the Argentinian firecracker?

    I’m sorry what was there in my email about wanting to see MARK SANFORD’s resignation that you did not understand. when I ask Wonkette to report on Sanford’s resignation-I expect you to get it right. Now my weeked is in shambles. I will have to take to the drink.

  4. AnnieGetYourFun says at 3:02 pm, July 17th, 2009

    Chris Cillizza is a good name if you say it over and over again.

  5. Mahousu says at 3:05 pm, July 17th, 2009

    I didn’t know slaves were allowed to resign. That makes the whole Civil War thing seem kind of pointless in retrospect.

  6. More road-kill on the Appalachian Trail.

  7. A “Cillizza” is what one does with an Argentinian firecracker, my fra-ends.

  8. paintitblack says at 3:06 pm, July 17th, 2009

    Maybe Cillizza finally got tired of being kicked to the back of the bus, whilst Mark “The Family” Sanford used $44k in public funds to fly first class to tango w/his Agentinian soulmate.

  9. El Pinche says at 3:07 pm, July 17th, 2009

    Chris never got a response to that email from Sanford.

    Republicans no longer respond to emails. All responses come from Grassley’s supple tweets.

    Don’t Cry for Me, Mark Sanford

    The governor said in a statement that Sawyer has been a devoted staff member.

    And the governor would know about devotion??!

  12. A Better American Than YOU says at 3:11 pm, July 17th, 2009

    Dude got the rubber glove-and-Lysol franchise for The Fellowship. Mucho dinero.

  13. freakishlystrong:

    “And the governor would know about devotion??!”

    Devotion, yes. Fidelity, no.

  14. SayItWithWookies says at 3:13 pm, July 17th, 2009

    Maybe Joel Sawyer just got tired of covering for an incompetent boob who compares himself to King David?

  15. V572625694 says at 3:15 pm, July 17th, 2009

    paintitblack: Yes because South Carolina public officials are constantly thinking of their dignity, and how the public will perceive their behavior. Look at Lindsay Graham.

    Plus Graham brought along his designated successor, Indian-American hottie Nikki Haley, and she sat next to him in First, although she claims she can’t remember. Certainly when I go on 9-hour flights in coach, it’s often hard to remember where I sat, because of the pain.

    Sent it all to Tips@wonkette.com, so it’ll languish forever.

  16. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 3:15 pm, July 17th, 2009

    Surely he quit to spend more time with his mistress.

  17. norbizness says at 3:17 pm, July 17th, 2009

    Is Cilizza that guy from the party Wonkette covered who looks like McLovin after chemotherapy?

  18. Todd Mecklem says at 3:17 pm, July 17th, 2009

    You know things must be very bad if he’s willing to give up that wonderful gov.sc.gov email address. Way cooler than Gmail…

  19. Bro, thanx 4 being there. No its not.

  20. finallyhappy says at 3:22 pm, July 17th, 2009

    V572625694: Problem with your remarks- Lindsey Graham had a hot WOman sitting next to him? Are you sure?

  21. norbizness says at 3:23 pm, July 17th, 2009

    Crab1: Hows about a patented double-C back rub, clothing optional? Dude!

  22. takes12no1 says at 3:31 pm, July 17th, 2009

    V572625694: I’ve often wondered about tips@wonkette.com as well.

    But do you mean Nikki Haley was sitting next to Sanford or Graham because she has been groomed to be the gov’s successor not the senator’s…although when you’ve seen one redneck South Carolinian you’ve seen them all right?

  23. BobLoblawLawBlog says at 3:44 pm, July 17th, 2009

    magic titty: “Tia, que pasa?”

    Cilizza should be always and forever ruthlessly mocked for this, is what I’m saying.

  24. WadISay says at 3:46 pm, July 17th, 2009

    Hey, what has happened to Sanford’s Argentine soul-mate? Did she just drop off the face of the earth? I am hoping she is working on a really bitchy book about how she had to listen to a lot a blah-de-blah about Jesus and fake orgasms because Mark Sanford is hung like a gerbil.

  25. V572625694 says at 3:54 pm, July 17th, 2009

    finallyhappy: Oops, meant to say Sanford. I was in a transport of investigative rapture when I wrote it.

  26. a4phantom says at 4:02 pm, July 17th, 2009

    What Cizilla should do is quit the WP and take up “hiking the Appalachian trail” from under Sanford’s desk.

  27. He’s leaving the ship before it’s completely submerged. All the best rats do.

  28. Lord Growing says at 4:18 pm, July 17th, 2009

    “Like it?” Sawyer said. “Well, I don’t see why I oughtn’t to like it. Does a flack get a chance to whitewash the intercontinental philandering of a degenerate Southern governor every day?”

  29. snideinplainsight says at 4:27 pm, July 17th, 2009

    It’s this level of relentless, brutally probing, razor-sharp investigative reporting that has gotten the WashPost to where they are today.

    That and, on the editorial side, somebody leaving azzhat Fred Hiatt in charge of something larger and more complicated than a cheese ball.

  30. AnotherManforHillary says at 4:56 pm, July 17th, 2009

    Is it just me or is Cillizza kinda hot?

  31. Mr Blifil says at 5:03 pm, July 17th, 2009

    Dude, suck your root for a quarter?

  32. hobospacejunkie says at 5:21 pm, July 17th, 2009

    Chris Cillizza has a lisp that is perfect for newspaper writing. Not so good on the teevee. If all i’m hearing is your lisp, Chrith, I’m not hearing what you’re saying. Communication FAIL.

  33. hobospacejunkie says at 5:26 pm, July 17th, 2009

    AnotherManforHillary: I can speak only for myself, but yes, it’s just you. The glasses, the lisp, the overeagerness to impart conventional wisdom (i.e. never says anything interesting,) doesn’t add up for me. He’s all yours.

  34. dbrandcorp says at 3:40 am, July 20th, 2009

    Hi All, Maybe Cillizza finally got tired of being kicked to the back of the bus, whilst Mark “The Family” Sanford used $44k in public funds to fly first class to tango w/his Agentinian soulmate
