A friend of mine was so impressed that Sanford attended a ceremony (this one?) and spoke for a few minutes. He had served this country in the first war, and is still in the National Guard. I nearly gagged when he told me how pleased he was with what the Gov. did. Wonder what he thinks now? I have not asked him, yet. But he is a good, Christian man, so he may not be as upset as I am.

Somewhere there is a happy medium in all this nonsense. I expect my governor to have a life and not be tethered to Columbia 24/7 because out-of-pocket costs of commercial travel are steep. In my opinion, a governor’s time is far too valuable to be spent waiting in a TSA line. As an agnostic Democrat, I do not begrudge a Blackhawk ride to attend a National Guard deployment ceremony – even if the other end of the trip was the Awakenings Conference!

I would be the last one to ever defend Sanfraud but I think you will find that the US military looks for any excuse to fly as they have to have so many flight hours a month in order to get “flight pay”.

GOP senator wants Sanford to be impeached

(CNN) — South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford should be impeached for abusing state finances, a Republican state senator said Monday.

A Republican senator in South Carolina says Gov. Mark Sanford should be impeached over financial violations.

Sen. David Thomas, in a letter to leaders of the constitutional/administrative subcommittee of the South Carolina Senate Finance Committee, accused his fellow Republican of violating state regulations.

The allegations involve flights he took to London, England, and China in 2006 and 2007 on state business. South Carolina requires the governor to charge the state the lowest rate available unless there are overriding circumstances, such as emergency travel.

“The two flights by Gov. Sanford were in violation of the South Carolina Code of Regulations,” Thomas said in his letter. “The difference in price between the most economical and the more expensive price of the seats the governor chose is approximately $13,700.”

Thomas said he thought the violations were enough to trigger impeachment proceedings.

Thomas urged Sanford to resign after he admitted his affair.

Rumor has it that the Awakening conference has the best call girls in the nation attending to each participant’s needs.
