House votes to censure Sanford (Senate, take note)

Well, thanks for taking my advice, folks. The House voted overwhelmingly to censure Sanford, which is appropriate. Pay attention, Sen. McConnell — it only took 20 minutes, according to Gina Smith, who is among the few who still have a job at The State. So there’s no excuse for the Senate not to do likewise, and right away.

Here are Gina’s Tweets from the scene:

  • House votes 102 to 11 to censure Gov. Mark Sanford. Whole thing took 20 minutes. about 1 hour ago from Twitterrific
  • 11 who voted against censure say gov should have been impeached. “(Censure) is a total waste of time,” said Rep. Todd Rutherford after vote. 35 minutes ago from Twitterrific
  • 11 are Rutherford, Guillard, Erickson, K Kennedy, Knight, M Smith, Umphlett, Herbkershman, G Brown, Brantley, Merrill. 16 minutes ago from Twitterrific
  • Not all 11 wanted impeachment. Herbkershman says he’s talked to gov man to man n doesn’t want to publicly humiliate the gov further.    14 minutes ago   from Twitterrific

Good job, House. Now move on to more relevant and important matters…

    Well, they couldn’t just haul him out the back door and shoot him. That would have gotten the state talked about again.
