Silly S.C. Lawmakers

As much as we’ve been on S.C. Gov. Mark Sanford’s case lately for letting down the cause of fiscal conservatism, the fact remains that his antagonists in the South Carolina General Assembly are a bunch of inbred, knuckle-draggin’, mouth breathing barely-literates who wouldn’t recognize a common sense idea if it flew up their backsides and started singing camp songs.

And yes, we like that expression and will continue using it – despite its obvious proctological connotations.

Take last weekend’s S.C. House Republican Caucus meeting in Myrtle Beach, at which Sanford’s fate was discussed extensively by a bunch of low-grade morons.

Of course, those low-grade morons do have every right to toss the governor out on his “arse,” but as is their custom, they’re holding off on taking that action until they’ve had a chance to confirm their own ineptitude.

Take S.C. Rep. Greg Delleney, who accused Sanford of engaging in a “premeditated effort to have sex.”

Say what?

The last time we checked, a man (a straight man, anyway) engages in a “premeditated effort to have sex” every five-to-seven seconds.  Gay men?  It’s probably more like every 3-4 seconds.

And yes, there are both of those in Sanford’s would-be “Grand Jury.”

Then there was Rep. David Umphlett (a guy who, amazingly, is dumber than he looks).  Umphlett’s response to the Sanford mess was that lawmakers should simply ignore the governor and his ideas over the remaining sixteen months of his term.

Ummm … dude …

How is that any different from what lawmakers have been doing for the past six-and-a-half years?

S.C. Republicans … gotta love ‘em …
