Note to Jenny Sanford: God Doesn't Care, and Neither Do We

By Sniffles

We cats would like to amend our previous comment about Jenny Sanford. She's not just a pain in the ass. She's certifiably creepy.

Today she's released a self-righteous new statement about how she's ready to forgive her wayward husband. Here's part of what she says:

"Mark showed a lack of judgment in his recent actions as Governor. However, his far more egregious offenses were committed against God, the institutions of marriage and family, our boys and me."

Brrr! The Palmetto State's first lady not only is icy as a julep, she's missing the point. She's making the mistake of confusing her spouse's performance as a husband with his performance as an elected official. Although we frankly hope Sanford never resigns — the story's too much fun, and too damaging to Republican family values — anybody who'd vanish for days without putting his second banana in charge, and who apparently used public money to finance his trysts, clearly is not fit to stay in office.

It's just another Republican smokescreen. Try to distract people's attention with matters that, in the end, don't make a bit of difference in the lives of voters. We cats HISS.
