Mark Sanford South Carolina James Clyburn Zimbabwe Black Africa Racism

Thursday, March 12th, 2009

Welfare Queen and prominent asshole Gov. Mark Sanford of South Carolina, who continues to simultaneously call Barack Obama a sack of shit and ask Barack Obama to pay off his state debt, said today that Obama’s spending policies will lead to Zimbabwe-style hyperinflation, the only real-world situation in which the term “11 million percent” can be applied non-jokingly. Black South Carolina Rep. James Clyburn responded by calling Sanford a racist for comparing Obama to an African country, to which Sanford’s spokesman shot back “Rep. Clyburn always plays the race card,” and now… huh? [HuffPo]
