Yup, that was my first thought, too.

Great minds think alike!

Breaking news from Associated Press just pushed to my iPhone:

South Carolina Governor Sanford unfaithful to his wife in Argentia!

You can't make this stuff up. Was it Naked Fly to Argentina Day?

And I feel the need to point out that this father of four children missed Fathers' Day whilst on this little trip.

This anti-gay marriage, anti-Obama, right-wing family values Christian conservative spent time with his squeeze in Argentina rather than his children on Father's Day?

Well, color me surprised.

Some of the snarkier political blogs are already calling her his "Eva Peron" and "Paramour of the Pampas".

Y'know, as many conservatives as get caught with their trousers down, I wonder anyone noticed Clintons's hijinks.

Makes sense - they certainly make sure they know what to look for

At the risk of incurring everyone's wrath...

Yep, I got this from Syn. He feels obligated to send me every Obama-bashing cartoon/clip/etc. he can find. Just to push my buttons. In all fairness, he sends me lots of Republican bashing stuff, too. He is a dyed in the wool Libertarian and can't stand either major party. The difference with this one is that it hit a cord with me somewhat. If the figures aren't totally skewered, we have a problem.

I'll reply by quoting the latest comment (at this moment) to that video:

'There is no comparison between the starting points of W and O. One inherited a shrinking debt and a growing economy while the other inherited a rising debt and a worldwide depression.'

Dubya created a mess. Obama won't be able to untangle that mess for free. It will cost.

Thinking that Obama should slow down a bit doesn't excuse Bush. Bush mismanaged a lot of things. I happen to like Obama very much. But I don't think he walks on water the way so many people do. And I've never thought that the way to solve every problem is to throw money at it.

Well, the opposite of 'throwing money at it' is cutting down on expenses, right? That would bring things to a stand-still I think, leading nowhere.

You cut down in some areas and invest in others - and I do hope Obama has advisers that know the difference...

I agree with Hyp that Obama doesn't walk on water, but I do think he has demonstrated an extremely rare quality, to date -- the ability to make and follow long-term strategies.

The problem with making and following long term strategies is that most of the American people want it fixed yesterday, if not last year, they don't have the ability to realize that it won't be. It's a pretty sad state of affairs.

>>>>most of the American people want it fixed yesterday, if not last year, they don't have the ability to realize that it won't be.

I can't believe I'm all that special among my fellow Americans. This mess took years and years to create, and won't be fixed in a minute.

Has the most bizarre news of the weekend already happened? Sarah Palin just announced her resignation from the governorship of Alaska to 5 or 6 people and a flock of geese in her front yard.

And a turkey being beheaded in the background, or maybe I'm just disillusioned by all the youtube videos commemorating this moment.

Any which way, it was a bit unexpected, wasn't it?

Please Bob that it not be to run for the next 3 years for Prez?!

I also wish folks wouldn't give her so many excuses to expound on her vast store of outrage (no more Bristol jokes, and baby pictures doctored, thank you very much -- I would like her not to have any reason to attract cameras!)

Unfortunately being photogenic is her only talent ....or is that fortunately being photogenic is her only talent im' not sure . Either way she is gone for now .
