At Least This Isn't Your Trainwreck of a Campaign

Mark Sanford
Who is winning the race for most screwed up candidate? This guy!

THURSDAY UPDATE: Who the hell is running Sanford's campaign? As the Huffington Post reports, yesterday Sanford held a sidewalk debate with a cardboard cutout of Nancy Pelosi. Yes, we just wrote that sentence.

Congressional candidate and former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford (R) held a mock debate with a cardboard cutout of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) Wednesday morning, on a sidewalk outside Medical University of South Carolina. Sanford said the Pelosi cutout was a stand-in for his opponent, Elizabeth Colbert Busch, because she is avoiding public appearances.

What. The. F***?

Former South Carolina Governor and current Republican Congressional candidate Mark Sanford is bungling his political comeback attempt to such an outrageous degree that it's hard to understand how he ever got elected to anything before. Like, ever.

Last week the NRCC pulled their support for Sanford after it was revealed that his ex-wife recently accused him of trespassing. So what does Sanford do? We'll let our friends at "The Fix" (try to) explain:

Fix rule of politics: ItВ’s never a good thing for your campaign when you take out a full-page ad in a local paper explaining why you trespassed on your ex-wifeВ’s property. Like, ever.

But, thatВ’s exactly what former South Carolina governor Mark Sanford did over the weekend in the Charleston Post and Courier…

…What better way to solve that problem than a 1,200-plus word paid ad that not only rehashes В— in painstaking detail В— SanfordВ’s decision to go to his wifeВ’s home when she was out of town to watch the Superbowl with one of his sons but also includes phrases like В“I have faults and they are well chronicledВ”?

Here's the full ad in all of its idiotic glory.

    1. That was the part that jumped out at me too. The last paragraph starts out, "In March of 1863, … a South Carolinian by the name of…" and I honestly thought the ad was going to ask Republicans to help re-fight the Civil War.

        1. Wrong, again.  Dr. Ron Paul, long time Texas Representative, has just sent out a fund raising letter for Sandford.  However, the story was accompanied by a picture of Senator Rand Paul, who is the son of Ron Paul, not to be confused with Paul Ryan.

  1. Hold on everybody.  According to Eliot's air tight method of reasoning this ad can't be as stupid as it reads because Sanford couldn't be so stupid as to place it if it were that stupid. Doesn't that make perfect sense?

    Further, it doesn't produce any political advantage, ergo (that's Latin which automatically wins any argument) no GOP pol, including Sanford, could possibly be responsible for it . 

    Either it doesn't exist and is perhaps a Dem black ops mind control thing making us all think it exists or it does but there is some perfectly smart message in it we aren't perceiving, the way we didn't see the duplicated white lady in the red  against red mailer as a symbol of the dangers of duplicate voting. That should have been obvious and I'm sure all the recipients picked up on that.

    Do not bother to dispute any of this. These are the simplest explanations and whatever anyone opposed to them might have to say is a wild stretch that ignores Gordian Knots or something. Or a tangent. Or not supported by any evidence. In fact, I bet nobody has any evidence that either of these perfectly sound explanations is not true. So there.

    How'd I do? Well enough to fill in in case Eliot suffers a typing related inury?
