Via MSNBC – News of the Weird:
South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, intending to score some publicity in his battle against what he believes is irresponsible spending by the state legislature, held two small pigs in his arms at a photo opportunity outside the House chamber in May, telling reporters that one was named “pork” and the other “barrel.” Before the event ended, both pigs had soiled the governor’s suit jacket and the elegant carpet at the State House, forcing Sanford’s press secretary and speechwriter to pull quick duty with cleanser and paper towels.
Didn’t say if he was Republican or Democrat, did it? Must go ponder…
