But what legitimacy do the sacraments have when administed by the likes of this and the Archbishop in SF? How can they even be called Christian?

The legitimacy of the sacraments DOES NOT CHANGE due to the priest/bishop/cardinal offering it. If you think it does, then you are abiding by one of the oldest heresies, Donatism. As long as they do what the Church does, then the sacrament is valid.
