Long way from the Appalachian Trail

This is so sad I almost feel sorry for the guy. Now abandoned by the national party and with his opponent, Elizabeth Colbert Busch effectively ignoring him, Mark Sanford is reduced to debating a cardboard photo of Nancy Pelosi. Why is he debating Pelosi instead of a cardboard Colbert Busch? Hell if I know. It's true, Pelosi is an all-purpose villian, especially reviled by cons, but she's not running for Congress in South Carolina.

TPM has a short video clip of the sorry spectacle at the link. Has to be seen to be believed. [photo via]
