The Gadfly On His Soapbox
Get Out: South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford should resign and go into hiding. Even in Argentina. This guy is an irresponsible goofball; he left his state and its citizens high and dry to go unzip his pants with his foreign sleep-in, lied about where he was and in subsequent interviews demonstrates he is lacking in commitment to his family and the citizens who elected him. Maybe Sanford could take Senator John Ensign with him and few would regret the departure of either one of these Republicans from public office and public life. They could invite Democrat John Edwards to join them and make it a bipartisan journey to nowhere.
Alrighty Then: It was three years ago The McCarville Report went online. Since, we've seen about 750,000 visitors and we're nearing 5,000 posts.
Just Asking: Why isn't former Oklahoma City police chemist Joyce Gilchrist in jail? Her actions and false "evidence" put innocent men behind bars; seems appropriate she should spend a long time there herself. For the latest in the sorry Gilchrist saga, watch this Fox 25 News report from Andrew Speno: http://www.okcfox.com/newsroom/top_stories/videos/kokh_vid_2635.shtml.
Finance Reports: New campaign finance reports for candidates in the governor's race will be examined at the end of the month to see which of them has financial muscle. Attorney General Drew Edmondson's initial warchest came in the main from trial lawyers. Lt. Governor Jari Askins, Congresswoman Mary Fallin and Senator Randy Brogdon raised their money the hard way...mostly from regular folks a check at a time. Enough Already: So a drug-addicted, 50-year-old man who likes little boys is now a cultural icon the media can't praise enough? Spare me the incessant idol worship. Sitting Duck: The National Society of Newspaper Columnists chose Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as the winner of its annual Sitting Duck Award, a tongue-in-cheek honor that pokes fun at the most ridiculed newsmakers in the United States. Palin beat out Democrat Rod Blagojevich, the ousted former governor of Illinois allegedly caught trying to sell President Barack Obama's Senate seat. Blagojevich was the runner-up. Palin was noted for making headline after headline, month after month. Oh, My: A group of teenagers in Torrington, Connecticut misunderstood a woman's screams during sex and, thinking they were stopping an assault, beat a 25-year-old man with a baseball bat and their fists in her bedroom, police said. The injured man is recovering. Four of the five teens face assault charges.
