Put me down as happy to see former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford coming back to Washington. He just handily defeated Elizabeth Colbert Busch in a special election for a House seat he himself once held.

I hope he brings his piglets with him. While governor, Sanford once showed up at the statehouse in Columbia with two piglets — one named “pork” and one named “barrel” — to protest the legislature’s quick move to reject his proposed budget that included large spending cuts.
