"We've got plenty of floozies right here in the U.S. of A.," charge critics
COLUMBIA, SC (AFA Newswire) The harsh criticism of South Carolina governor Mark Sanford continues days after the revelation of his extramarital affair with an Argentine woman.
"There is no excuse for this insulting and deplorable behavior," said state assemblyman Kurt Manners, "We've got plenty of women here in the great state of South Carolina — not to mention the rest of the country and various U.S. territories — there was simply no need for the governor to have taken his dalliance offshore."
The state legislature spent the day in vigorous debate over the proper response to the governor's actions.
One state senator drafted a bill to recognize only extramarital affairs between a man and a woman who are both U.S. citizens and another proposed building an impenetrable fence along the border between South Carolina and Argentina.
By the end of the day's session, the assembly had passed a resolution stating that the women of South Carolina are ". . . second to none in their abilities to be in political career-ending extramarital flings," and went on to honor them for ". . . the consistently high quality of their home-wrecking and hussying."
