Editor:

Governor Sanford’s article in the current issue of Newsweek magazine is not clear as to whether he intended it as a book review, promotion of Ayn Rand for some political office, or just more ranting about his wacko ultra-libertarian political ideas.

What is obvious is that he continues in his apparently delusional separation from reality. Maybe someone could take him aside and explain to him that Ayn Rand’s books are fiction. Pretend. Make believe. Kind of like imaginary hiking trips on the Appalachain Trail.

Ayn Rand’s writings should certainly provide no model for our state’s governance (or, in Mr. Sanford’s case, non-governance). Every day that Mr. Sanford continues in office is an embarrassment, and it is high time that our legislature gave him the boot.
