I Blame "Global Warming"

Skanderbeg Tuesday, June 23rd at 12:18PM EDT (link)

Okay, sports fans. Let’s have another go at how we can blame THIS one on “global warming.”

Have at it.

Open thread within the open thread. :)

NO, NO, NO, You've got it wrong!

It’s now called “Climate Change” :)

Its obvious he was a climate change denier

Everyone knows we have ruined the environment so badly you can’t actually go outside.

Obama in his news conference justed voted present on the Iranian issue.

A political party cannot be all things to all people.
It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency, or simply to swell its numbers.

Every deer hunter in Michigan still likes to take a shot at a squirrel, rabbit, or even a troll every now and then.

At least this time he's calling on reporters he knows will ask tough questions

like Major Garrett. He’s calling on them, but still doesn’t like it.

Yes, I liked the tough question about his smoking.

He didn’t even try to dodge it. Just came right out with an answer.

He's still not too keen on follow-up questions

or when a reporter follows up on another’s question, like the ones on health scam care.

They're tough because the TOTUS can't read minds yet.

but Rhams working on that, I bet.

Apparently, Sanford's own Lt. Governor...

wesmorgan Tuesday, June 23rd at 4:40PM EDT (link)

…wasn’t in on the plan…and he’s a fellow Republican…now bashing his own Governor for “erratic behavior” over on CNN. Sheesh.

Oops, my mistake...

wesmorgan Tuesday, June 23rd at 4:42PM EDT (link)

It was the CNN guy who used the phrase “erratic behavior,” not Lt. Governor Bauer; Bauer cited “conflicting stories coming out of his office” and concerns about the chain of command.

 

Apparently the Gov and Lt. Gov there are long time political enemies

AKSteveB Tuesday, June 23rd at 9:19PM EDT (link)

This one does have me concerned. I like Gov. Sanford a lot, but this has the feel of something we haven’t heard the last of.

When his wife said she hadn't heard from him ...

… you know something is up.

I don’t have strong feelings on him either way, but I hope he’s OK.

 

Argentina?! ARGENTINA?!

It's a beautiful country

Tell you what, leftylurker

Neil Stevens Wednesday, June 24th at 11:06AM EDT (link)

You don’t get to talk about this story anymore.

Lately your comments show a pattern: whipping up this story, and talking up Obama.

You don’t get to just keep doing that here. That’s not what this site is for.

So knock it off.

Want to run for conservatives? Give.

Sanford statement is in progress.

And now he's digging a hole.

Better to step away from the mike for a few more days than to try to justify misbehavior. It doesn’t depend on what “is” means.

Rambling doesn’t help. Nor does the phrase “remarkable friendship.”
