Gov. Mark Sanford’s bizarre press conference in which he revealed his Argentina “disappearance” revolved around marital infidelity was the top story last Wednesday. Daily Show host Jon Stewart noted that the Republican needed an “act from God” to get himself off the front pages. Then the “King of Pop” passed away last Thursday.
“Boy, you can imagine the sentiment around the Sanford camp,” Stewart mocked, before shouting in a happy and excited voice: “Hey everybody did you hear the tragic news?”
Stewart then pantomimed the Sanford campaign team celebrating and giving each other high fives.
“All he has to down is keep his head down, not say anything, and the whole thing will blow over,” Stewart continued, before showing a clip about how Sanford had revealed more infidelities to the Associated Press.
“God killed Michael Jackson to save your ass!” Stewart screamed.
Stewart later played a clip of Trinity Episcopal Cathedral Reverend Philip Linder saying, “Many of us are praying that he goes into a more silent mode.”
“That’s actually Episcopalian for shut the f*ck up,” Stewart joked.

Mark is talking because it keeps the thoughts of Maria with him. Now like it or not Mark is and always will be in love with Maria. Jenny knows this and she is so desperate she will accept Mark knowing he will never ever love her. She will use the kids until they are grown and then hope Mark can’t fine Maria because he will leave Jenny at some point. Mark had been looking for his soul mate ever since he married Jenny. He found Maria 8 years ago but had been looking since 1989 the year he married Jenny. Like a lot of woman who know their husbands don’t love them Jenny had kids in hopes of holding on to Mark. It didn’t work and now she can stand up like a woman and move on or settle for what little Mark can give her as left overs.
Sounds like a storyline from Days of Our Lives.
LOL - Another fine moment from TDSWJS!
