Sanford’s Bicycle Bust

By fitsnews • on September 24, 2009

S.C. Gov. Mark Sanford sprained both his wrists in a bicycle accident on Saturday, the governor told an Upstate newspaper on Wednesday.

Sanford was riding bikes with his youngest son, Blake, when according to the governor the child veered into his path.

“He had not yet learned the rules of the road, so to speak, and he turned left and I was stupidly locked in my pedals,” Sanford told the Greenville News. “So down I went. I was lucky I didn’t break both wrists.”

No word yet on how the injury will affect the large amounts of “personal time” on the governor’s schedule these days.

Just like the Gov’ to blame it on someone else. He might want to be careful, it sounds like maybe his kid is working for one of his political opponents. According to Mark, South Carolinians still want him in office. REMEMBER… Jack *$$

Can we be sure one of his brood can’t take credit? Maybe sprained wrists wouldn’t be what Jenny would aim for but it’s a start. Bet some folks here personally know if this injury impedes a certain form of immediate gratification.

Who’ll type the lovies to Maria now or press speed dial? Will he hire a temp at his own expense? Or just dictate to Ben?

How will Sanfraud adeptly conduct his euphonious chart symphony at the SC Rotaries?

Will the appendages heal in time to host many press availabilites when the hefty ethic report arrives?

Is it now too painful to point fingers?

Who will carry his walking stick on hikes?

How quick can C-Street prayers heal him?

Will Sanfraud be able to adequately hug the too many SCers with the tremendous capacity for forgiveness?

Will he still be able to perform his duties, dot I’s and cross lines?

Nice — blame the kid – typical Sanford. But, Blake is my new hero. He’s done more to bring down Sanford than the clowns in the legislature. Sanford totally screwed up little Blake’s world — sure, go ahead and believe the left turn was an accident . . . . I say it was a brilliant maneuver. Nice work Blake.
