Still in charge of South Carolina

Approve of deficit spending to fund tax subsidies to the very rich and launch a war on phony pretenses? Check!

Publicly rails against the economic stimulus designed to save the economy? Check!

Pledge to turn down stimulus money? Check!

Wait for the news cycle to look somewhere else, then accept all the stimulus money you can get? Check!

No wonder Sanford is such a star in the Republican Party. He doesn't even need to jet down to Argentina on taxpayer money to have sex with his mistress to be a standout "family values" conservative.
