They stay. Like spoiled fish or unwanted house guests, you cannot unload them. And they do not have enough sense or enough dignity to go on their own. I will be surprised if Sanford goes.

What we can depend on is the next GOP mistake. I will make a bet on that. There are so few sure ways to make a buck these days. It’s nice to know there are some sure things.

I don’t know if paying a hooker to change your diaper is technically cheating.

Good point. I doubt if his wife wanted first crack at that. Er, so to speak.

Nah, he’ll cry and beg forgiveness, and say that Jesus has personally forgiven him for his terrible sins, and the Repugs will slap him on the back, agree that we are all born sinners, and it’ll be hunky dory again.

I’ve got a funny feeling he’d just rather chuck it all and retire to Argentina. Seriously, we’re just keeping him away from his one true love with all this political crap.

Libs, remove the plank.

You mean the “family values” plank from the GOP platform? We’re working on it, thanks.

First and foremost,

Governor Sanford BROKE the “Chain of Command” in my state (SC) leaving us with NO immediate response capability in the event of an emergency. For this action and this action ALONE he should be impeached! I don’t care that his wife didn’t know where he was or not. I don’t care he had an affair. I do care that his staff either covered for him or did not know how to reach him and he had not released power of authorization to the Lt. Governor as ANY Governor would have if they were going incommunicado.

Spin the rest of the story anyway you want but dereliction of duty makes him a dangerous liability to our state.

Now should he be attacked publicly?

For 15 years Gov. Sanford presented himself as a rabid family values candidate and has now been caught in dereliction of duty due to his INFIDELITY!

Are we not to point out the hypocrisy of this man’s actions and beliefs?

Remember this man publicly demanded Clinton resign for his “infidelity” with Lewinsky.
At least Clinton never disappeared and left us with no chain of command.

How about John Ensign? That one’s a dooozy!

When can I anticipate hearing that the Sanford affair was the fault of Clinton ?

And as for the dems in SC saying something, they can play the high ground and just watch Gotterdamerung as spectators. Sanford has taken a scorched earth policy with many republican ideals also.

Believe it or not, Limbaugh is blaming the affair on Obama, saying that Sanford (and other Americans) are trying to get their “kicks” in before Obama’s policies bring total destruction to the American way.
I kid you not.

Rush has joined Michael Savage in jumpuing on the bandwagon that it would be worse if it were a Democrat, and Rush has added that the Democratic Party way would be to attack the woman in the affair.

I’m surprised Rush is even touching this subject. Wait a minute. No, no I’m not.

The only “caught cheating” politician of either party who is still in office would be Vitter. He’s a Republican.

Sanford is going to resign over this. That’s definite. It leaves South Carolina in a very unstable environment. I’m hoping that the state can get through this transition safely.

To me it is not the adultery its the hypocrisy. Republicans point out the adultery of Democrats and state that they keep their political positions…
