Submitted That Mark Sanford Is In Fact An Incredible Asshole

Two stories from today.

First, South Carolina now has an unemployment rate of 10.4%. It's second worst in the country, only Michigan has a higher rate, and it's the worst unemployment rate in 26 years in the Palmetto State.

Second, naturally this means with people in his state hurting badly, SC Gov. Mark Sanford wants to take $700 million of the state's $2.8 million in stimulus to pay down the state's debt instead of using it on unemployment benefits or job creation as he plays politics with the lives and livelihoods of thousands for his own Presidential bid in 2012.

The prosecution rests.
