  • A Clarification on Sanford’s Records

    Patrick's Place

    It’s worth mentioning clarifying earlier remarks about Mark Sanford’s voluntary release of his personal travel records.

  • Days like this we miss Bob & Ray

    Waldo Lydecker's Journal.

    Our Lady of Wasilla's afternoon remarks leave Waldo scratching his head. As he's remarked before, Governor Palin is the best Republican orator since Warren G. Harding and both massed huge armies of words that wandered the landscape in search of an idea.

    Just in time for the holiday weekend, Athlon’s 2009 College Football preview magazine is out … although it probably won’t put University of South Carolina fans in a celebratory mood.

    Former GOP Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin is stepping down as governor of Alaska at the end of the month, cutting her term short by seventeen months and sending the clearest signal yet that she is running for president in 2012.

    Gov. Mark Sanford’s longtime friend and strongest legislative ally says he counseled Sanford “on several occasions to consider resigning” in the wake of his sex scandal - advice the governor obviously isn’t taking.
