Star Parker: Welcome back to Washington, Mark Sanford

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.
