We posted this item yesterday but thanks to our crash, it apparently traveled the path of non-existence.
So we’re doing it again.
It’s a simple question – since ever major political scandal must end in “-gate,” what do you propose S.C. Governor Mark Sanford’s sex scandal be called?
Post your thoughts in the comments section below … we have some fabulous prizes for the winners that may or may not include pillow talk emails from the governor himself!

Well if we could arrange for him to run through the pool at the National Mall screaming, “Jenny, Jenny”, then we could call it “Gump-Gate”.
Otherwise the title must pertain to that certain condition in which the little head is thinking for the big head so perhaps we go with “Inadequate cranial perfusion gate”.
Pal-meeting Gate,…maybe…no…OK

“The Laughing Gate”

I’m quite certain I called this “Haley Gate” in my last comment and I knew when I wrote that, that it would ruffle female/tea party types. Theses gals are by the way, the first to gang jump/lynch Sanford when his adulterous affair was found out. While Sanford would admit the entire act and not contest his wife’s lotto like divorce settlement, Haley, so obviously guilty, seems to believe she can deny her way out of it and her mindless throngs refuse to hold her up to the same standard of scrutiny they happily heap on any and all male candidates, well all except Andrea’ but that’s a whole other ball of wax that I fully expect to see “leaked” should he win the primary, which if there is a just and loving God, he won’t.
Haley now is pushing the tired old “this is why good people don’t run” which is odd coming from such an obviously “not so good” candidate. She is also claiming her yard signs and bumper stickers are flying out the door. I rode my Harley from Clarendon County (301-261-378 to Lexington yesterday and back about 200 miles round trip) and saw no stickers and only a hand full of signs.
Clearly, Haley is delusional at best and a liar at worst. Should she survive the primary she will be easy for Sheheen to crush. Female devotees of Haley take notice, you are electing Sheheen, which on balance might not be all that bad for the State but could be the end of your alleged movement’s agenda.
