Sanford Might Want To Avoid Detroit

S.C. Gov. Mark Sanford might want to avoid the city of Detroit for awhile after his recent letter to President George W. Bush regarding the proposed automotive bailout met with a torrent of virulent – at times obscene – criticism.

Sanford told Bush that the bailout would be a “very great mistake,” prompting the Detroit Free Press (a.k.a. “Freep.com”) to write a story on his objections.

What’s interesting isn’t the article, necessarily, it’s the 838 (mostly angry) comments.

“The ‘Big Mistake’ was when Da Gov’s Daddy for got to wear his condom,” wrote one commenter, and believe us, it only got worse from there.

Here are some samples:

“Gov Sanford I would like to lob a couple of shoes at you!”

“Rumor has that Mark Sanford fathered Clay Aiken out of wedlock but its hush, hush down there.”

“South Carolina is a mistake, except for golfing.”

“If this is the way the south feels about the auto loan, then no more relief gifts after a hurricane. It works both ways.”

“I guess the south needs another ass-whipping.”

“So he’s a ‘leading Republican Governor’ huh? No wonder the GOP is in shambles. What an ass clown.”

“South Carolina is a ‘great mistake.’ Wait, let me re-phrase that………any state that starts with SOUTH CAROLINA, NORTH CAROLINA, GEORGIA, FLORIDA, ALABAMA, MISSISSIPPI, or LOUISIANA are all ‘GREAT MISTAKES!!!!’ This Governor can take a flying leap, with his foreign made auto, into a flaming bucket of sh*t!!!”

“Only thing I will do if passing his state is go to the border, take a dump right on the road, then proceed somewhere else.”

“Stanford is an @ss clown backward ignorant inbreed.”

Also, it appears some Free Press readers will no longer be vacationing in our fair state:

“I guess this will force me to make other vacation plans this summer. I had planned on taking the family to a nice resort in South Carolina called Fripp Island in July but there is no way in Hell I’m going to spend one penny in that backward state. If their governor wants to try to impact the Michigan economy – I’ll do my part to negatively impact his.”

“No more trips to Myrtle Beach for my family. I hope others do the same.”

Others hit on Sanford for his ubiquitous tan.

“He must have been in the sun too long.”

And one comment from a pro-union reader was downright threatening …

Red neck why don’t you kiss my norhtern a$$ before I take over the worthless south. You sit and talk until the north gets serious, and trust me if the UAW does fall, I will make sure we fuc* the south over even more, and I’m talking about all UAW workers going crazy.

Of course the governor did get a modicum of love, as a few Free Press readers (those who haven’t killed the majority of their brain cells on cheap beer) noted that’s he’s consistently opposed this sort of government intervention.

Many of you posting on this article should read it again. The South Carolina Governor is against Federal spending in HIS STATE as well as Michigan. He is against the Federal $700 billion bailout of the financial industry. He is consistent in his opposition to Federal spending. If you wish to criticize the state of South Carolina because one of its senators voted against the bailout of the Big 3 have at it.

Anyway, don’t expect Sanford to shop up at a rap-off against Eminem anytime soon!

And it’s good to know that as stupid as South Carolina most assuredly is, Michigan is every bit as retarded as we said it was.
