Lame attempt at a diversion.

Then again, if I had a governor like Sanford, I'd be this desperate also.

Back when Mark Sanford's name wasn't a punch line, he was hiking the
Appalachian trail of fiscal austerity. His big maneuver was to send back
all stimulus funds on the grounds that they were wasteful and unnecessary.
That was a long time ago - one admitted adulterous affair ago, to be exact.
So today, Sanford is in Washington, after having stopped off at the
National Prayer Breakfast run by his theocratic buddies in The Family. And
he's looking for a $300 million dollar gubmint handout for South Carolina.

Gov. Mark Sanford flew to Washington on Thursday to tell the Obama
administration that South Carolina wants $300 million in federal stimulus
money.

Sanford, who spent much of last year fighting parts of the Obama
administration's stimulus plan, now wants S.C. to have a piece of $4
billion in "Race to the Top" education money.

The money is awarded to states based on their plans to improve education
and innovate. Forty states have applied so far.
