In the Democratic corner we have Elizabeth Colbert Busch, who is no relation to the evil Bushes (note the spelling), although I suppose she could be related, by marriage (ex-marriage, actually) to the Anheuser-Busches, which would not be a bad thing.
Not as funny as her brother, but she’d have to be better than her sleazy opponent
She is, in fact, Stephen Colbert’s big sister (Stephen is the youngest of 11 children), which is a super-duper plus. All liberals love Stephen Colbert, plus a few extreme conservatives who are so stupid they don’t know his hyper-conservative comedy routine is not satire, and that might be enough to put her over the top.
In the Republican corner we have former governor Mark Sanford who, with comically bad timing, disappeared on Father’s Day in 2009. He told aides to tell the press he was “hiking the Appalachian Trail.” He was actually in Argentina, with Maria Belen Chapur, which seriously pissed off his wife, Jenny, when she found out about it. (When Sanford was in Congress, before he was governor, he voted to impeach Bill Clinton, saying the affair with Monica Lewinsky was reprehensible.)
Oh, yeah, he also paid for the trip to Argentina with state money.
The two are competing for an open seat in the House of Representatives, in South Carolina’s 1st congressional district, which includes Charleston. It could be the funniest political race in recent memory, and there have been some funny ones.

pathetic.
as in ‘pathos’ + ‘ick’ = piss poor.
or: ‘pathos’ + ‘tick’ = emotional parasite.
I don’t quite understand your objection. Are you saying that the writing was weak (O.K., not my best, sort of just rehashing the news of the day without a great deal of original insight), or are you saying that her candidacy is weak, or Sanford’s is?
I don’t know, Willie. Sorry, I was drunk and on a rant / rampage – you weren’t the only victim. It’s not that the writing is weak, the subject matter is uninteresting and filled with pointless partisan bias, as is your trademark and that of pretty much everyone these days, unfortunately. You point out hypocrisy, but are, at the same time, just as guilty of it.
Maybe a hard look at the ESM that Zeman just signed may have more relevance than small potato US politics. They all suck pretty much. Right and Left are just paid puppet garbage the lot of them.
