South Carolina Lieutenant Governor Resigns After Spending Campaign Money On Playstation, iPads

I just LOVE this crap. Another Republican who thinks laws do not apply to HIM and his family.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with blah, blah, blah, etc., etc., etc. ...........". Now, don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

Wait, wait, did they say SOUTH CAROLINA? The place where "family values", "Christian Principles" and "Adultery among the Argentines" all co-mingle?

Fucking amazing!

South Carolina Lt. Gov. Ken Ard, who spent campaign money on a Playstation, women’s clothing, iPads and his wife’s cell phone bill, will submit his resignation on Friday morning.

“During my campaign, it was my responsibility to make sure things were done correctly,” Ard said in a press release, according to The State. “I did not do that.”

Ard said he “must take full ownership and resign from the Office of Lieutenant Governor … I am deeply sorry and take full responsibility.”

South Carolina Republican Party Chairman Chad Connelly issued the following statement:

“Lieutenant Governor Ard has taken responsibility for his actions. His resignation will help our state move past this sad and unfortunate incident. Our thoughts and prayers are with Ken and his family during this time,” said Chairman Connelly.
