Politics: Joe Wilson: You got one apology from me. You’re not getting two.

  • I’ve apologized one time. The apology was accepted by the president, the vice president. … I am not apologizing again. I believe that is sufficient.
  • South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson • Talking to “Fox News Sunday” about the “You Lie!” incident. Democrats are pushing for Wilson to apologize on the House floor, but Wilson is pushing back. He also stands behind his remark, if not the way it was presented: “I believe in the truth. What I heard was not true. I believe (Obama) was misstating the facts.”  • source

U.S.: Mark Sanford: You South Carolina sons of #(^@&! are stuck with me

  • I’m not going to be railroaded out of this office by political opponents or people who were not fans of mine in the first place.
  • South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford • In remarks regarding his status in office after Lieutenant Governor Andre Bauer (who, like Sanford, is a Republican) pushed for the governor to resign. We wish that the lieutenant governor were Andre Braugher. He’s a great actor, not a guy plotting against a governor who hasn’t broken any laws. • source

U.S.: Mark Sanford and Jenny Sanford: No longer under the same roof

  • Jenny (and her sons) moved out Friday. South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford continues to be on the outs with his wife Jenny, with the state’s First Lady moving her stuff out yesterday. She plans to take the kids back to Charleston, where they’ll attend school. Both husband and wife said this was for the best for now but said they planned to continue to work out family problems. Personally, we would have loved to see Mark move out into the doghouse. source

U.S.: Mark Sanford is on another undisclosed trip, this time WITH his wife

  • This trip is personal in nature, and we’re not going to offer any further comment. The governor remains committed to repairing the damage he’s done to his marriage, and so it shouldn’t be any surprise that spending personal time with his wife is a part of that process.
  • S.C. Governor Mark Sanford spokesman Joel Sawyer • On his boss’ decision to leave the state for a week with his wife Jenny, not saying specifically where he’s going. Last time he did that, he was in the Appalachia…Argentina with another woman. But his wife wasn’t there. • source

U.S.: They *think* they killed and identified the S.C. serial killer. *Think.*

  • We *think* that’s good, but man, we wish they’d clarify. Patrick Tracy Burris, 41, was identified by authorities as the man killed in a standoff with police in Gastonia, N.C. While they’re not 100% certain he’s the guy, they say he probably is. We’re sure there will be some evidence which will verify this in the coming days, but until then, expect the words “think” and “probably” to be tied very closely to the man who killed five people in Gaffney, South Carolina in the last two weeks. source
