You may think so, but you are not.

Although all three of you have characteristics in common.

Like problems with the law, drugs or booze, problems with women (remember Bill O’s “pay her off and sweep it under the rug” effort?). Remember Rush’s drug problem(s) that he was busted on?

sic(k) willie…we’ve met Rush and Bill’O. You are not even close.

Except you are ahead in CDV convictions.

The Mighty Peacemaker will be rendered inoperable by the time Obama and his money printers bankrupt our country. And bankrupt our faith in ourselves!

Sanford would only be going through a PR exercise in not taking the money (which if the legislature followed suit would then be spent in other states), but people are watching him, Jindal, Perry, Palin and a few others closely to see how they play this.

The position of ideological purity on this one would be to announce that SC is refusing all of the bailout money, while aggressively lobbying the legislature to reject it and exploring a legal challenge to Clyburn’s “Mark Sanford amendment.”

There may be some money he just can’t touch, though, although we will leave it to you to determine whether he’s secretly happy about that or not.

Of course based on the way this federal government is behaving, the truest position of ideological purity would be to secede from the union and install Sic Willie as the state’s benevolent dictator.

Unlike Sheriff Leon Lott, though, we have no tanks. And dictators tend to need those.

As for “responsibility,” let’s not forget that our friends in the banking industry, certainly not a constituency of the Democratic Party, are being floated to the tune of a trillion dollar. Why not? George Bush bankrupted two companies and walked away richer than when he went in. His corrput brother ran a Savings and Loan into the ground and left unscathed. Heads you win, tails you win. Give me that deal.
