His spokesman said his refusal to raise taxes is another reason why, and that the nation's best governors raised taxes according to TIME.

Yeah, I figured it had something to do with that.

And is it just me, or is the fact that Time magazine actually got something right scary?

After listing Blanco as 3rd from the bottom of Governors currently in office, I expected Time to also list George W. Bush as being at the bottom of the list of Presidents of the United States currently in office.

Why is MArk Sanford considered a bad Governor? I'm not up on SC politics, but I remember liking him..

[faithincowboys]

Third from the bottom.. That's an effing joke...

You're going to like Governor Blanco's brilliant response to criticism.

She said, "Watch my results." Watch what? Walking failure?

And is it just me, or is the fact that Time magazine actually got something right scary?

Scary, but it's balanced out by the fact that the five best governors in their list are all Democrats or tax-raising Republicans. (Maybe she's a token)

[Galactic Overlord-In-Chief]

Sanford's there because he keeps vetoing all the big spending goodies the legislature passes. No wonder they hate him.

"This poor thing tried to blame Bush for her uselessness.
Finally it backfired!"

I wish that were true.
As far as the dumb public and the MSM is concerned, BlankoBrain and NoBrain Nagin get a pass, and Bush is blamed as if he created Katrina.

[faithincowboys]

do the people in sc like him??

[Galactic Overlord-In-Chief]

From what I've heard, yeah they do. He doesn't have big time approval ratings, but they're still good. He's a favorite for re-election.

[CivilWarguy]

The five "best" governors include three Dems and two tax-raising Republicans. The three "worst" include two Republicans. Guess it isn't hard to figure out Times' bias.

[JRochelle]

Type 1 or TypeII?

[dearolddad]

Dazed and confused? That's being kind...........

She didn't know weather to sh*t or go blind is more accurate.IMHO

[Tijeras_Slim]

That's the strangest breathalyzer I've ever seen. ;)

[Kirkwood]

Dazed and confused... Heh! Well at least Blanco didn't get hysterical and blubbering like girly-boy Nagin.

[evets]

L'oreal... she's worth it!

[Proud_USA_Republican]

THe un-elected governor of Washington State Christine Gregorie will be joining blanco on that list within a year.

[nicmarlo]

She had results.....the were "poor"....but she "walked away"....so much easier for her than dealing with reality.

[asp1]

At least they are reporting that she is bad. :0) I'm sure this is the first stage of her media rehabilitation. First, she's awful; next month she will be doing good work; in about three months she will be demonstrating superhuman strength; and right before her next election she will walk on water. I don't trust Time Magazine anymore than any other MSM. :0)

[CajunConservative]

I hope for your state that it isn't because of her mishandling a natural catastrophe where people's lives depend on her leadership.

The only positive thing out of this is maybe just maybe people will think long and hard if hitlery runs.
