SC senator calling for Sanford to resign.
In an interview with CNN's Ali Belchi(sp?). SC state senator Jake Knotts, is calling for Gov. Sanford's resignation, due to financial irregularities surrounding Sanford's trip last year to Argentinia, which was funded by the taxpayers.

The trip, originally scheduled as a Trade junket to Brazil was amended to include a stop in Argentina, at Sanford's request.

When confronted, Sanford offered to repay the state; however, that was not enough to placate Sen. Knox, who equated the Governor's actions to a bank robber, who, when apprehended, offered to give the money back.


This just keeps getting better and better!:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

3. I posted earlier on another thread that the long knives would come out
as soon as these hypocritical fundies found out his hand was in the till. Cheatin' on the little lady is a time honored republican family value. Robbing the state blind is unforgivable. Never, and I do mean never, get between a repuke and his money.
