Read This Now - Be Glad You Don't Live In South Carolina

Several Republican Governors have made noises about turning down Federal Stimulus funds, and for a while there was quite a bit of discussion over how to get past the ideologues who clearly do not have their constituents best interests at heart.

By and large we've moved on to other news stories, except for South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford who is still tromping around proclaiming that he won't take the Federal money to fix the schools in SC, schools in a state that would be embarrassing in most developing countries let alone America.

Joan Walsh cuts right to the chase with a scathing take down at Salon. Referencing Ty'sheoma Bethea, Obama's guest at the not quite State of the Union, Walsh lays into Sanford:

Sanford cares about one set of kids, and it's clear whose they are. The GOP's Southern Strategy is alive and well, even if it's only working in a handful of states. Too bad Ty'sheoma is unfortunate enough to live in one of them.

Clearly, the irresponsible teen should have had the sense to be born somewhere else, and preferably in a different color skin. Next time she'll know better.
