Remember Miss South Carolina Teen 2007? Of course you do.

I think she is now working for South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford – in his press relations office.

“Some people out there in our nation don’t have maps”

Apparently Miss South Carolina teen thought the Appalachian Trail was someplace in South America and she advised Gov. Mark Sanford to say he was out walking in the woods – the Appalachian Trail.  (Yeah, wood was involved.) Because…

“Some people out there in our nation don’t have maps”

I love what Anderson Cooper wrote:

But I am a writer and we writers are always looking for good excuses. Oh, my article’s late. Sorry, I was “hiking the Appalachian Trail”. Oh, forgot to take the trash out. Couldn’t. I was “hiking Appalachian Trail”. I didn’t sneak out to buy a box of Krispy Kremes. Oh, no. I was “hiking the Appalachian Trail”. Didn’t get my (fill in the blank here) in on time. Well, you know, I was “hiking Appalachian Trail”.

And, of course, this will now be also known as the Argentine Booty Call: “hiking the Appalachian Trail.”

No cracks about how secret negotiations to bring a rare Argentinian puma to the Columbia Zoo were disrupted by a cougar. No gags about a South Carolina education that blurred the difference between all those “A” countries (Argentina, Appalachia, Alaska, etc.). No assertions that he was looking for political tips from the corpse of Juan Peron, or that he visited the Falkland Islands to study how he might defend his state from an invasion by Tennessee, or that he became a desaparecido, another of the forced disappearances that characterized the country’s Dirty War of the 1970s.

You want to see a picture of María Belén Chapur or Shapur? So does everybody else. She has been on the top of Google search for hours. Think you can’t remain anonymous on the innerweb? María Belén Chapur has done a magnificent job of avoiding having her picture posted online.

Somebody thought they had María Belén Chapur, and even connected it to where she worked. But that was all a foul up.

I love this stuff. FoxSnews identified Governor Mark Sanford as an (D) for a while, just like they did the many times before:

• John McCain – Democrat
• Joe Lieberman – Democrat
• Arlen Spector – Democrat (when he was still a Republican!)
• Mark Foley – Democrat

“Media Matters also caught Fox listing a Democratic strategist as Bush’s head of FEMA — because his name happened to be Michael Brown. Oh, and we can’t forget the time they announced Rep. William Jefferson’s indictment using footage of Congressman John Conyers. They apologized to their audience, but never to Conyers personally.”

Just love this stuff!
