Hey Sanford!!! WHO'S YOUR DADDY?!!!

http://www.mcclatchydc.com/homepage/story/65407.html

Sanford gives in on stimulus, will seek funds for S.C.

WASHINGTON — Gov. Mark Sanford will comply with a midnight Friday stimulus deadline and become the last governor in the nation to seek millions of dollars in federal economic-recovery funds for his state, aides said late Thursday.

Sanford will continue contesting $700 million in education and law enforcement money for South Carolina, but his 11th-hour move to meet the deadline buys time for schools fearing mass teacher layoffs and draconian cuts.

Sanford's month-long fight over stimulus money placed South Carolina in the national spotlight and put him at loggerheads with President Barack Obama.

"Tomorrow the governor is going to send the (Section) 1607 certification for everything except the stabilization funds," Sanford's spokesman, Joel Sawyer, said Thursday evening. "The governor will apply for that (additional) money if the General Assembly is willing to compromise and pay down some debt with it."

SMACK!!!

OBAMA'S YOUR DADDY!!!

YOU WILL TAKE YOUR STIMULUS AND YOU WILL LIKE IT!!!

1. Thank you

for the funniest post I've seen on DU in a long time.

I'm wiping the tears from my eyes, but they just keep happening, and I keep chortling.

Nice work on capturing perfectly what went down.

Thank you.

4. Sanford just had to do an embarrassing cave for stimulus funds.

He's not going to win the battle to withhold unemployment money - there's clauses in the stimulus bill telling him he has to use it for what Congress tells him to use it for, not for paying down debt.

5. "Sanford will continue contesting $700 million..."

I can hear it now as he accepts the stimulus:

Yeah, I really don't want this. You know, I said all along I didn't want this. From the beginning, I made it clear I really don't want this! Oh, by the way, you're short five bucks...
