SANFORD AND SON.

SANFORD AND SONS.

By: Jordan C. Fan, Prophet of Environment.

Warning: Leave Mark Sanford alone or face the consequence.

"Sanford Affair Will Help Republicans in the South" I Said.

SANFORD NEEDS SONS.

LIKE THE TV SERIES, "SANFORD AND SON"

Like the TV Series, "Sanford and Son." Who can really blame him for wanting to have more sons to carry on his family name and tradition by increasing his offsprings. Therefore he needs to have sex with more women The important thing is not to wear condoms when he was having sex.

More than likely it was also a conspiracy staged by Barack Obama and his Democrats supporters especially Black to set him up using beautiful women similar to what they have done for other White politcal figures such as the former NY governor(s). Their purpose is to replace them with Blacks.

Who would not doubt that Obama has never committed adultery.

Sanford should be allowed to enjoy his life as usual without anymore interference. In fact Obama should share his wife with Sanford if he wants a hybrid "SON" like himself! How about also showing the marriage liscense of his parents.

Republicans, Mark Sanford and sons should thank me for this comment.

My First Time Reading USA Today

--- and I learn its columnists can't really write. You can't say "from whence"! Whence already MEANS "from where". Writers should take care -- if you don't know how to use an archaism, don't use it. Back into the "don't bother reading" bin, USAToday.

No, Bonnie, we're not done

When Sanford resigns, then we're done. Until then, the coverage goes on 24/7. Us Democrats are owed that much for enduring these self-righteous twits who call themselves Republicans.

Dear USN&WR

When are you going to rotate through some new bloggers? These are past stale.

MARK SANFORD. I KNEW YE WHEN

Dear Mark,

Oh, boy.

I’ve cried real tears for you, old friend. But I know you too well: you have always done what you were gonna do and you did. God almighty, son, you did it up good this time.

When I begged you to go a little more crazy and have some college fun thirty years ago you wouldn’t. While I was sitting in front of the dean of students for streaking naked around campus you were writing speeches and studying in the library. You were our student body president and the campus mischief maker was your roommate. As your best friend at the time, I was proud of you then and I’m proud of you now. New York hot shot to real estate tycoon to congressman to governor of my beloved South Carolina, all in khakis and button downs. A real preppy hurricane, you. I have followed your career and admired every minute of it since we first met outside the freshman dorm in 1979. But you’ve got some fixing to do now, wild man. Who’s to say the first lady does, too.

And there’s one more thing I need to tell you ... man to man ... old friend to old friend ... from a father of sons to another: all the answers to anything and everything in life you have from this point on until you die are going to be found in those precious sons of yours. If you devote the rest of your life to what your sons need and want from you everything will be fine. All of your questions about what to do in any situation ... professional, political, personal, familial ... will be answered after you ponder your boys. Just do that simple, but vital thing every moment. I know this, too. It's the secret to living well. Hell, it's the secret to life.

You’ll do this because I know you and still understand you and love you as a friend. You’ll do this ... I know you will ... and you’ll be fine one day. So will the people of South Carolina. Tell them hello for me. I miss them, and I'm pulling for them, too.

Your Friend,

Todd
