As they used to say in the Old South, Mark Sanford is hiding behind Bill Clinton's skirts. (Or in this case, would it be pants?)
In last night's Congressional debate with Elizabeth Colbert-Busch, Sanford did his best to duck behind 42 when he asked, "Do you think that President Clinton should be condemned for the rest of his life based on a mistake that he made in his life?"
Just for the record, Sanford didn't direct that awkwardly phrased question to his opponent. He asked it of a debate moderator, which is really dumb. But then, since he isn't being politically enabled any more by his former wife and ex-campaign manager, Sanford has almost never been more stupid than he is now.
The bottom line is this: The Republicans have come full circle. From trying to hound Bill Clinton out of office for his private life, they're now using Clinton's bad behavior to justify their own.
The difference? Bill Clinton never lectured other people about how they should live. We cats will take the non-scold, any day.
(IMAGE: If Sanford loses next week as he so richly deserves to, we cats think the world will point to this photo as his game-changing mistake. As they used to say in the Old South and everywhere else, hell hath no fury like an ex-wife needlessly pissed off.)
