The guy who couldn't decide if he was on the Appalachian trail
or in Argentina?

Who wandered from his marriage?

Time for Mark Sanford to take a hike.

Kind of like George Soros. Theyention her whenever they are losing an argument or are trying to score points with the base.

when are they, by the way? She will no longer be marked as "Stephen Colbert Sister."

She is entitled to be judged - for better or worse - as her own person.
