Self-Parody From the Luv Guv

This is just too good: Gov. Mark Sanford (Is he still governor? -Ed.  I guess so--he does seem to have disappeared from the pages of the National Enquirer, though), writing in the current issue of Newsweek, on why he likes Ayn Rand.  I've always found her books too heavy to lug in my pack while hiking the Appalachian Trail.

This is too good to be true. The Hiker gets this wrong, too: "Rand's essential truth—government doesn't know best." Her willful notion of the truth is atheism, which means that she of all human beings is God, as she is the most self-conscious of all. Being devoted to oneself is a bipartisan vice.
