South Carolina governor Mark Sanford has escaped impeachment reports the State. Sanford will likely stay in office until his term expires in January 2011. A special session of the South Carolina House issued an official rebuke of Sanford’s dalliances this summer and verbally punished him for “bringing ‘ridicule, dishonor, disgrace and shame’ on the state, its citizens and the governor’s office.”
