I would have been bloody pissed if the other one had been my own, but now I only wasted a quality on it instead, which pisses me off quite enough. Wankers.

Apparently it was some schmuck named Joe Wilson, a Republican congressman from South Carolina. More here.

OK. I did "learn more". Patients United Now was launched by a conservative group called American for Prosperity.

From wiki:
In 2003, an internal rift between Citizens for a Sound Economy (CSE) and its affiliated Citizens for a Sound Economy Foundation led to a split in which the latter organization was renamed as a separate organization, called Americans for Prosperity.

Its foundation's chair and founder is David Koch of Koch Industries, which runs oil refining and pipeline companies. Another Americans for Prosperity Foundation board member is Richard Fink, a Koch executive who serves as a director of the refining subsidiary. Fink helps control AFP's purse strings. He is president of the Koch-affiliated Claude R. Lambe Charitable Foundation, which gave AFP's foundation $2.2 million from 2005-06, according to the Foundation Center.

On February 27, 2009, in collaboration with others, the organization sponsored a Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas and Washington, D.C. Tea party protest.

AFP aims to promote a sound economic policy that supports business and regulatory restraint by government, according to its literature. This organization leans conservative. AFP opposed the $787 billion stimulus package for economic recovery.

The organization has chapters in 22 of the 50 states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Virginia, and Wisconsin.

Americans for Prosperity is led by Tim Phillips, who was a former partner with Ralph Reed's Century Strategies. That organization became well-known when it was revealed in a Senate investigation that convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff was laundering money through Century Strategies and Americans for Tax Reform to oppose legislation that his Indian tribe clients wanted to defeat.

This is just WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!!! First of all, David also murdered a man. Does Sanford think he should be allowed to stay in office after that? 2nd, David wasn't elected to serve the people of South Carolina. 3rd, DAVID FELL from his favored position in the sight of God and was unforgiven because of how great his sins were. 4th, How much more of a doofus can you be? I have never been so mad at a Governor of another state as I am right now. What a deuche bag!

When you are a public servant, you better believe that an affair is our business. We're citezens, not subjects.

Kick his worthless heiney outta office!

Mark Sanford has been an idiot on the fiscal and monetary front, but he's never said that much about moral matters. Yes, he voted for Clinton's impeachment, but it's disingenuous to paint him as a Pat Robertson or Jerry Falwell type politician.


He supports teacher-led prayer in schools along with displaying the 10 commandments in school. He defines marriage as "one man, one woman" (and mistress?) and stated that South Carolina should not recognize same-sex civil unions. He also opposes adoption rights for gay couples.

Sure, there are far more vocal (and extreme) people out there on such issues, but that doesn't change Sanford's stated view of the importance of marriage and opposition to allowing homosexuals to take part in it.

He's certainly free to not like homosexuals, but it kinda sucks to see people use political office to promote religious "morality" at the expense of the rights of others. His infidelity doesn't change my view of him, it just makes his stance on marriage even more laughable.

Hahahaha. Well, Mister Sanford, let me be the first to say, um, your apology is accepted and hilarious. Secondly, can you tell me why anyone outside of my parents, who coincidentally live in South Carolina now, should care?

This has nothing to do with Catholicism or Boston.
It's a jack off who cheated on his wife and neglected his duty as Governor of South Carolina.
Please don't turn it into something it isn't.

Guys guys guys!

It's all okay! He was in love!

A dog and an orang-utan have forged an unlikely friendship at an animal sanctuary.
Suriya the orang-utan and Roscoe the bluetick coonhound palled up after meeting at The Institute of Greatly Endangered and Rare Species in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

Most dogs avoid apes, but Roscoe is happy to swim and play alongside Suriya and even lets his hairy friend take him for walks.

Their bond is so strong that US chat show queen Oprah Winfrey is set to feature them in a special show called Amazing Animal Friendship.

Dr Bhagavan Antle, founder of the centre, said: "Roscoe looked really thin and a little lost so we fed him and took care of him. He followed us through the gate and ran over and found Suriya.

"As soon as he saw Roscoe, Suriya ran over to him and they started playing. It was unusual because dogs are usually scared of primates but they took to each other straight away."

She was cuter when she didn't know the answer to the "map" question.

Oh wait, different blonde? All those beauty queens look the same to me. They should just keep their mouths shut and look pretty. I mean, that's their job, right?

Separation of church and state? In America? Ha ha, you gotta be kidding:
