I heard on Tuesday morning that the Governor of South Carolina, whom had apparently been missing since last Thursday, was found hiking in the mountains. What? Missing? I thought it strange for such an important member of our society to just take themselves off the grid without telling anyone (not even his wife and sons on Father's Day weekend). Then i thought, what a strange thing for ANY person to do that. You never hear about some business clerk shooting off to the woods for a week without telling anyone. He would be fired from him job and/or the police would be out looking for him.

Then I heard this morning that he was not hiking in the mountains, but took some alone time down in Argentina. What? I mean, really? You flew down to Argentina by yourself to look around? Really.

I just went to CNN and watched this. WHAT? Holy God.

Let's just consider the level of stupid this is. Having an affair when you are the governor of a state is dumb. But it certainly isn't unprecedented. Hell, if you told me that Elliot Spitzer was buying time with some madams in Jersey, I would have said you were crazy. But THIS dumbass gets on a plane on a THURSDAY and heads down to SOUTH F'ING AMERICA and stays for 5 or 6 days, doesn't tell ANYONE ANYTHING, and does so over Father's Day weekend. Didn't think maybe his wife or kids would think, 'HMM, its F'ing FATHER's Day, where the hell is Dad?' Or didn't think someone on his staff might think 'Wow, i haven't seen the highest ranking member of the F'ing government of South Carolina for the better part of a week, should we call the police?'

Good job soon to be ex-Governor. You truly are the dumbest person in South Carolina. And given the number of confederate flags i saw the last time i was down there, that is saying something.

Oh William Kristol. Will you ever be right? In a blog entry that echoed his comments on Fox News Sunday (which echoed every conservative's view almost exactly on the subject) my favorite neocon, Billy Kristol, compared the American President to Neville Chamberlain. He feels that Obama has not declared his solidarity with the Iranian people.

I wonder if it has occurred to Bill that if the President did that, he would forcibly interject the United States into the discussion and muddy the waters? Can you imagine a bigger Christmas present for Amadinejad? He would paint the protesters today as pro American/anti-Iranian and the very strong momentum and large scale outrage within Iran would all be for naught. The issue would be spun as "U.S. Imperialism" or even worse "U.S. election meddling".

I love Bill's fake outrage. When you watch him on TV, you get the feeling that he doesn't believe he's saying the things he is sometimes.
