Inglis to GOP: ‘Lose Stinking Rot of Self-Righteousness’
South Carolina Rep. Bob Inglis made a name for himself in the late 1990s as one of Bill Clinton’s most zealous pursuers, an impeachment “manager” who attacked the moral failings of the president with a gusto that earned him a devoted following in the staunchly conservative “Upstate” of conservative South Carolina.

But with his governor now felled by similar temptations, Inglis sees an opening for the Republican Party, a chance to “lose the stinking rot of self-righteousness” and “to understand we are all in need of some grace.”

This is not “Bob Inglis 1.0,” the one that was a “self-righteous” expletive, he said in an interview with Washington Wire today. It is a Bob Inglis that is, if anything, more Christian, more attuned to the Gospels, he said.

His last conversation with Gov. Mark Sanford was about the hundreds of millions of dollars in stimulus money that the uncompromising governor was trying to refuse for his impoverished state. Inglis had voted against President Barack Obama’s $787 billion stimulus bill, ardently, he said.

3. It'll be like that scene in "body snatchers"
you know where the discarded human shell just deflates, having voided it's contents.

4. But were it not for the stinking rot of self-reichousness, what would 'pukes have left other than
maybe sanctimony, hypocrisy, hyperbole, disingenuousness, greed, avarice, misogony, racism, you name it: besides it would seem the typical 'puke politician lies through the asshole, but is otherwise only rotten to the rotten core. :P
