Apparently joining Miss Teen SC in the pursuit of giving the South Carolina education system a bad name, Governor Mark Sanford gave this bumbling performance on CNN yesterday:

If you can’t watch the video, here’s the transcript of this monstrosity-of-a-performance.

BLITZER: Are there any significant economic differences between what the Bush administration has put forward over these many years as opposed to now what John McCain supports?

SANFORD: Um, yeah. I mean for instance, take, you know, ummm, uhhhh, take for instance the, the issue of uhhh, of um — I’m drawing a blank, um, I hate it when I do that, particularly on television. But take, take for instance the contrast on NAFTA. I mean, I think that the bigger issue is credibility in where one is coming from … on … are they consistent where they come from.

Not exactly the Great Communicator, is he? Running against Obama, the Republican VP needs to be at least an average grade orator. Sanford obviously doesn’t fit that description.
