Sanford Used Taxes For Sex
South Carolina Gov.
Mark Sanford admits he used taxpayer money to see his mistress in Argentina
and
plans to repay the cash.
But the Republican still faces questions about the way he dismissed state law
officers assigned to protect him and whether he should have transferred power to
his lieutenant while he was away and out of touch.
"Did you
hear about Mark Sanford, the governor of South Carolina? He mysteriously
disappeared last week and nobody knew where he was. Today, Sanford admitted to
having an affair in Argentina. I'm like, great, now we're outsourcing
mistresses." --Craig Ferguson

"Mark
Sanford, the governor of South Carolina -- this just keeps getting weirder. He
was missing for five days. He finally showed up. He claimed that he was just
hiking in the Appalachian Mountains. Then just today, he revealed that he was
not hiking in the Appalachian Mountains, he was in Argentina the entire time --
in Argentina, where he was having an extramarital affair. Wow! It all seems
insane until you realize who his mistress is -- Carmen Sandiego." --Jimmy
Fallon

Blagojevich Update
Former Illinois
first lady Patti Blagojevich said Friday that making new friends during her time
on NBC's reality show "I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!" helped her get
over those she's lost since her husband's arrest on federal corruption charges.
Blagojevich arrived back in Chicago shortly after midnight after spending
several weeks in Costa Rica for the show.
"Needless
to say, this not great news for the Republican party. So many prominent
Republicans have been caught in these situations lately: Mark Sanford, Larry
Craig, David Vitter, John Ensign from Nevada. And do you want to know why this
is happening? The gays. They've destroyed the institution of marriage and now
this is what we get" --Jimmy Kimmel

"Gov. Mark Sanford disappeared...and it turned out he was in South America. And then it turned out he was down there because he was sleeping with a woman from Argentina. Once again, foreigners taking jobs that Americans won't do." --David Letterman
Rhode Island Plantation State-of-Mind
The country's
smallest state has the longest official name: "State of Rhode Island and
Providence Plantations."
A push to drop "Providence Plantations" from that name advanced farther than
ever on Thursday when House lawmakers voted 70-3
to let residents decide whether their home should simply be called the "State of
Rhode Island."
