Ethics

Dumbass Quote of the Day

By Ed Brayton

From disgraced South Carolina governor Mark Sanford, vowing not to step down:

Mr. Sanford vowed not to quit despite growing pressure from South Carolina lawmakers and Republican Party officials to resign or face impeachment. He said he intends to complete his term, not to hold on to power but to fight for conservative principles of governance.

"I feel absolutely committed to the cause, to what God wanted me to do with my life," he said in an interview. "I have got this blessing of being engaged in a fight for liberty, which is constantly being threatened."

Isn't it amazing how often God's alleged commands to people so neatly coincide with what is convenient for them? Thank you, Gov. Sanford, for being so selfless. You're a giver. You give.
