Q: What do Governor Mark Sanford and Elvis have in common?

A: Both of their careers died with pants around the ankles.

Some of you may have heard that Michael Jackson died yesterday, thus ending his career too. But unlike Elvis, you almost never see a troop of Michael Jackson impersonators (Although it could be argued that Jackson was a bad impersonation of himself) And if you did find one, I wouldn’t hire him for a kid’s birthday party. Well, Jackson’s death might bring the financially strapped family some money in the form of movie and TV rights. I’d like to suggest a title for a movie, MJ: The Pedo File.

I’m waiting for Congress to vote for a bail-out for the Jackson Estate. It’s been estimated that he owes between 400 to 500 million dollars to various banks. Is the Kink Of Pop too big to fail? We’ll have to wait to see. I can hear Obama saying that he doesn’t want to run the Michael Jackson Estate.

Elvis is known as The King, Jackson as The King of Pop, and Sanford was looking to the 2012 Presidential elections. He was The Man Who Would Be King. Coincidence?

So, Governor Sanford’s and Jackson’s and Elvis’ careers are dead. Sanford’s just doesn’t have the grace to go to room temperature. Instead Sanford has decided to take a page out of the Obama Version of the Democrat Play Book. He’s going on an apology tour. Politics and monkeys sure make strange bedfellows.
