“No, give the guy a break.  Somebody’s libido has nothing to do with their brain or how they run their country, company, etc.  So WHAT!!!!”

Oh contraire!

Proves that old theory that some men have to carry their brain in their penis because it’s so small if they keep it in their head it will roll out the ear and be lost forever. As for the email eloquence ... the man obviously missed his calling. He should be writting Harlequin novels. Or perhaps he can blame it all on Obama’s “stimulous package.” I mean how hard must it be to live in denial, aka the land of the conservative lollipops, when one hears the words, stimulous package, stimulous package, over and over again?

I for one would prefer to have a Governor who actually has a brain big enough to safely stay in the head. And I suspect a lot of folks in South Carolina feel the same way.

Folks here are getting it right.

1) Sanford has an affair—Republican hypocrisy since he’s yet another “Family Values” guy. Otherwise, it’s between him and his family.  How many of these GOPers turn out to cheat after they make their phony statements on the sanctity of marriage, opposing gay marriage, advocating abstinence-only birth control programs, and ending ALL abortions.

2) He did it on the tax-payers’ dime. I don’t care if he “pays it back”—he stole their money and that’s a felony. You don’t get “do-overs” in criminal law—if you steal money, paying it all back doesn’t erase the crime.

3) He’s CEO of a state—you cannot go completely out of touch when you are in that position. Even when I, a middle manager, am away, I always make sure I can be reached by phone, email or both.  Do what he did and you get disciplined or even fired—-as he deserves.

4) If the woman reporter on HuffPo is her, what’s she doing with a funny-looking troll like Sanford?

5) Democrats (except for Blago) have the decency to resign when they go as far as Sanford did, such as Elliot Spitzer in NY.  At least in Illinois, the state lege had the decency to toss Blago.  Aren’t they predominantly Dem?  I don’t remember a GOPer resigning for an affair since Gingrich and Livingston BOTH got caught around the time of the Clinton impeachment.

6) That leaves the GOP field for 2012 down to .... Romney, Palin and maybe Newt.  Oy!

Do I care that Sanford’s marriage was on the rocks? NO.
Do I care that Sanford was shacking up with a love-interest in Argentina? NO.
Do I care that the corporate media is pushing this as “news”? NO.
Do I care that this is yet another example of Republican hypocrisy? Yes. Your’re damned right I care.

This is your so-called “family values” party, your “moral majority” party, your “Christian values” party…the same party espousing the sanctity of marriage. This is the party that pushed to impeach Clinton on his lying about having sex in the Oval Office. 

Oh, I can hear it now: “I cheated on my wife because the sanctity of marriage is being destroyed by gays!”

Hypocrisy.

And I thought he was hiking the Appalachians! I feel so betrayed…so soiled…so goooood.

Let us pray….

I’m amazed that Fox News labeled Sanford a Democrat, though not really surprised (more amusement than anything).

You know, it’s funny how Christians choose which commandments are worthy of damnation. I wonder ... what does the Newt, or Rush, or Steele or whoever the hell is the “head” of Sanford’s party has to say about this?

American (sex-obsessed) culture, not least as espoused/promoted by and in mega-media (and here too, obviously), at its most hypocritical. See Keith and Rachel programs for fine examples of how exploitation is carried out. Both juvenile as they come.

At least Sanford wasn’t caught hiking naked. As that would have been just TOO kinky! Cheating on wife is one thing, hiking naked a whole other thing.

Mark Sanford is an Idiot. 

The majority of citizens here have really had their eyes opened since the fiscal stimulus debacle.  Instead of trying to work with people to improve government, he picks fights with state legislators and threatens managers of state agencies.  Granted, there are issues of ethics and partisanship, graft and corruption, but that type of behavior will get you nowhere fast.

Now, his above-the-fray image has just disintegrated into a pile of dust, but not to fear, Gov. Sanford is not eligible for reelection, since he is halfway through his second term.  He can say and do as he pleases without fear.  He does not care about the average citizen of this state, which has been apparent from the beginning.

Another republican family values moment, should be about time for another democrat family values moment coming soon.

When your wife doesn’t put out anymore and you’re all alone in your big office…what’s a man to do?! If his luck has changed and he see’s the door as “open”, then he can only go for happiness. His soul be danmed, the penis speaks! I say be damned if that’s how it is. Face the music, slouch down your h’aid sinner! In the end we all pay. Measure your weakness against the reaper and see who wins out for a weekend in paradaise. He’s done…:next.

Sniff, sniff, sniff…
This smells of something more than just your garden variety Republican Hypocrisy. Ed Harges, maybe you’re onto something. Hey, maybe he’s been tap-dancing in Argentinian airport mens’ rooms? Or would that be “Tango-ing?” (And I wondering if he’s been billing the SC taxpayer for his flights of fancy?)

Fun stuff.

what so many stupid photographs making hundred of pics like little kids will not get one !

“Don’t cry for me, South Carolina!”  just doesn’t work as well as “Don’t cry for me, Argentina!”  as he was off with his personal “Evita”.

Another Re-thug bites the dust with a loose zipper—one who voted for Bill Clinton’s impeachment.

I’m not surprised Faux Noise can’t keep straight that Mark Sanford is a South Carolina Re-thuglican, when Terry Sanford is a NORTH Carolina Democrat.

Look at this: Fox “News” turns Sanford into a Democrat:

The narcissism and hard bark of these hypocrites is stunning, breath taking and truly comical.  The Daily Show’s Wyatt Cenac was right.  Sanford was in the woods screwing a coyote.

I doubt this is the whole story. Why go missing for 7 days? Why draw this much attention to himself?

The next shoe to drop: the Argentinian “woman” friend is a man?

(Oh please, please, God…..)
