If
former SC governor Mark Sanford hadn’t been bitten by the tango bug, this
election could have gone the other way. A rising star in the Republican ranks,
this guy had the resume and the ambition to become the most powerful man in the world. Unfortunately for him, he had the sex drive of a politician but not the self-discipline and lost all control when he met a
young tanguera at an open-air milonga in Uruguay in 2001. Eight years later he
totally unraveled, dashing a promising career that could have put him in the
White House.
I’m sure
there are all sorts of conspiracy theories but, just in case, I will start one right now.
The
multilingual woman who tempted the governor was unwittingly working for Roger
Ailes and Fox News. The conservative ‘news’ channel and the former Nixon
campaign manager had already decided Mitt would be their man to succeed Bush in 2008 and then the 2012 election. They
could not control the pol from South Carolina and planted the seeds of his destruction long before he could see the road to the White House opening up for him.
In 2001,
a private detective, on the lam for illegal telephone hacking in the UK, was
hired by Ailes to tail the unsuspecting Sanford as he visited New York City and
immersed himself in Gotham City’s tango culture where he met an Argentine
reporter working on a 9/11 story.
Later,
the US Gov’t, now completely controlled by Rupert Murdoch and his World News
Corporation lackies, arranged a trade meeting between Argentina and the Southern
Governors Conference. In Montevideo, Uruguay, at a milonga on Lorenzo Merola
Boulevard, the two met again, seemingly by accident. Little did the tanguera
know that the television station she worked for was a Fox News affiliate and
that she was an unsuspecting pawn involved in a game between power brokers
engaged in electoral espionage.
There
you have it. If it wasn’t for tango, the two never would have met and our
nation’s first black president would have faced a much more competent opponent
than the two-faced liar who was defeated last night. Thank you, Tango, you may
have broken up a marriage but you inadvertently saved America!
