Mental Breakdown Imminent
To be more accurate, it’s probably already happened.
Gov. Mark Sanford (R-SC) seems to be riding the mother of all guilt-trips. He disappeared last week, telling neither family nor staff where he was going. Because he’d already gone, presumably. He subsequently stayed missing, over Fathers Day weekend no less, until he resurfaced today.
Then he promptly attended a press conference (warning: kinda long and dull vid) admitted that he’d been in Argentina with his floozy and is now, I imagine, holed up in a bathroom somewhere bawling his eyes out, John Edwards-style.
Yeah.
Talk about shafting yourself through a succession of life-changing decisions.
Thank you, Mark Sanford, for distracting from the avalanche of Democratic sleaze and criminality that the media wasn’t reporting anyway, and instead giving them something juicy that they’ll really appreciate sinking their teeth into.
And, no doubt, the MSM will delight in actually identifying this dope as a Republican, displaying none of the party-affiliation-amnesia that afflicts them when reporting on wrongdoers of the Democratic variety.
As dumb as he is, though, he’s still not quite as stupid as this guy.

They’re already reveling in this latest scandal on the part of a Republican. Ugh!

Time for him to step down.

I still find it difficult to understand how a governor could just disappear. Seems odd that so few people would know. Nonetheless I feel for Governor Sanford, he clearly has other issues going on. Hopefully everything ends up working out in the end. While his career, for the time being, might be over, ten years from now people will hardly remember this scandal.
I don’t see the media as over-covering this story particularly biased. There is without a doubt a left-leaning bias in the media, but with infidelity they seem to cover it based more on the person and the office and less on politics. Consider how prevalent pop-culture makes cheating seem in politics: if it is true, then they will really only want stories about people in high office or with name recognition.

“Do not let your heart be troubled..”
This is a two-day story and it will fade before the serial bumbling of our beloved Clown-in-Chief, the Henny Youngman of Presidents.
“Now, you take my health care plan..please!”

This man had to have some mighty enemies. Where did those emails come from? You are exactly right: this distracted from the ongoing Democrat attempts to take this country where it has never gone before. Unfortunately, even Iran is doing the same. It’s basically a “lucky break” for BO with Waxman-Markey coming for vote.

Yeah, and Neveda’s got Sen Ensign up to the same nonsense.
