Not really.
That’s just the punch line that my old buddy Michael Feldman is using on current promo spots for his show on public radio.
I pass it on because it provides a measurement of just how much of an automatic laughingstock we have become in South Carolina, thanks to the tireless exertions of our governor. You don’t even have to say “Mark Sanford.” You can just refer to him indirectly, at a step or two remove (in this case, the only connection is that he was until recently a fellow member of the same group to which ex-Gov. Palin still belongs, which I suppose we could describe as “marginal people whom the national media have inexplicably decided to regard as serious contenders for the 2012 GOP presidential nomination”), and still get a laugh.
So this is what we’ve come to.

South Carolinians, lol. Is there anything those losers won’t do (besides get an education and a job)?
Pooping on our state is fun!
Granville’s Cafe, a new restaurant on Devine in the former Tiffany’s space, offers an Argentinean Beef menu item. I couldn’t help bursting out in titters. A whole country is a laughingstock, as well!
