The race to succeed Senator-designate Tim Scott in Congress got a whole lot more interesting tonight. According to CNN, none other than disgraced former Governor Mark Sanford will seek the seat. Given the governor’s history of taxpayer-funded Argentinian peccadilloes, we’re not sure who told him that this is a good idea, but Twitter was happy to inform him that it isn’t.

Mark Sanford must have decided to run for Congress when he heard they were leaving town instead of doing their jobs.
