We cats are already amused by the special election in South Carolina for Tim Scott's House seat (March 19th primary, May 7th general). How could we not be tickled, when Stephen Colbert's sister is running on the Democratic side? (If you'd like to send her some support, click here.)
But things are even more delicious with the entry of disgraced former Governor Mark Sanford in the race. Yes! Let's have another round of coverage of that fabulous "Appalachian Trail" chapter in Sanford's career. It's always good to remember Republican peccadilloes four years later.
Not that Democrats are pristine by any means. But then, Democrats don't go around lecturing other people on how to live their private lives. Republicans not only scream about morals — they try to legislate them.
So we did a big eye roll when Sanford — who, we note with interest, hasn't yet managed to marry the Argentine woman he called his "soul mate" — claimed in a recent interview that he never used taxpayer money so he could Be A Part Of B.A., Buenos Aires. We kinda doubt this. After all, why else did he reimburse part of the cost of his publicly funded 2008 trade mission to you-know-where?
And as long as we're on the subject, we cats think that impeaching a President for non-impeachable, private-life offenses is a big, big waste of taxpayer money. Especially when you end up being guilty of the same thing yourself.
Oh, Mark Sanford, you rascal, you! To further paraphrase Cab Calloway, we can't wait till you lose.
(IMAGE: Ah, memories. Here is Mark Sanford, caught red-pawed, getting off his plane from Argentina when he should have been hiking the Appalachian Trail. We think we know why he's licking his lips.)
