Mark Sanford has let down South Carolina in all sorts of ways over the last seven years, but this latest failure was unexpected: He failed to make the cover of a People magazine special edition devoted to scandal.
With all the foolishness that’s gone on in our state this past year — the Sanford follies, from refusing to take the stimulus through the Argentine misadventures; Joe Wilson’s outburst; the infamous “Keep your government hands off my Medicare” quote by some Palmetto State genius at a townhall meeting (which actually topped a Yale list of quotations, so take that, People); Jim “Waterloo” DeMint’s shenanigans — surely South Carolina deserved to have the cover to itself.
Of course, this scandal edition was obviously not confined to 2009, or even to this decade (judging by the O.J. photo), but still…
But we just can’t get any respect, even the perverse kind. At least we got some love from “The Daily Show.”
