SUMMERVILLE -- Gov. Mark Sanford has not decided whether he'll allow (WTF!!) the State Ethics Commission to release information about a possible investigation into his use of state planes.

SUMMERVILLE -- Gov. Mark Sanford has not decided whether he'll allow the State Ethics Commission to release information about a possible investigation into his use of state planes.

But he said he's still committed to transparency in government.

Gov. Mark Sanford bows his head in prayer alongside Rotarians William Lomax (left) and Rutherford Smith at the start of the Summerville Rotary Club meeting Wednesday. (GIVE ME A BREAK !)

"We have no problem with transparency whatsoever, which is what this administration has consistently been about," he said Wednesday. "I think we have an incredibly great story to tell as far as watching out for taxpayers on airplanes. In so many ways, we tried to go the extra mile." (and miles and miles and miles to Argentina 30-leven times)

Sanford's use of state-owned planes has come under scrutiny after an Associated Press report found he used state aircraft for personal and political trips, often bringing along his wife and children, contrary to state laws governing their official use.

Sanford said he hoped lawmakers would be willing to work with him now that it's clear he is not using the office as a political stepping stone. "If anything is abundantly clear, it's that my time in politics is over. I'm not running for president. I'm not running for something after that. It is about the next 16 months."

Just in case a lightning bolt comes down on the Gov's noggin while they are in prayer.

9. Mark, you'd better go home son and make up your mind
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MK87ejPDZOk

Did you ever have to make up your mind
Pick up on one and leave the other behind
It's not often easy and not often kind
Did you ever have to make up your mind


Did you ever have to finally decide
Say yes to one and let the other one ride
There's so many changes and tears you must hide
Did you ever have to finally decide

Sometimes there's one with big blue eyes, cute as a bunny
With hair down to here, and plenty of money
And just when you think she's that one in the world
Your heart gets stolen by some Argentine girl



And then you know you'd better make up your mind...

Sometimes you really dig a girl the moment you kiss her
And then you get distracted by her older sister
When in walks her father and takes you a line
And says, "You better go home, son, and make up your mind"

And then you bet you'd better finally decide...

12. you know you're an asshole
when the biggest carrot you have to dangle in front of people is that you're going away.

forever.

if they'll just let you do this one last heist.

Yeah, you've gotta be pretty bad if the best gift is your eternal exit.
