But if you are in an important position, you should always be reachable. A governor has responsibilities and shouldn't be going AWOL for several days on end. His staff should be able to reach him in an emergency at all times.

This really is the bottom line.

Sanford admits affair

South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, his eyes red, admitted to having an extramarital affair Wednesday with an Argentine woman.

"I've been unfaithful to be my wife," Sanford said at a state capitol news conference.

It began very innocently," he explained, saying that developed into an adulterous relationship in the past year.

He said he seen his unidentified mistress three times since they began the affair or, as he put it, "since the whole sparking thing."

Sanford said he was resigning his post as Chairman of the Republican Governor's Association.

Taking questions from reporters, Sanford said his wife knew about the relationship before his trip last week and that "they had been working through this thing for about the last five months."

He shed tears as he explained how helpful one friend had been.

He also choked up when he said: "This has been selfishness on my part."

Sanford's admission caps an extraordinary week in which he was revealed to having been in Argentina and not, as his staff said, hiking on the Appalachian trail.

Before disclosing his relationship, Sanford apologized profusely to a number of family and friends.

"I've let down a lot of people -- that's the bottom line," Sanford said.

In what were at times rambling remarks, Sanford delved into the nature of sin and explained his affinity for "adventure trips."

He requested a "zone of privacy" for his family.

Now he needs to resign and go away.

Seems to be a lot of Republicans lately doing this extra-marital shit.

I think it's now been established that the more "pro-family" you are, the more likely it is that you are a closet freak.

Republican?

classicman · 06-24-2009, 03:05 PM

Wow - I never noticed that before. Thats really pathetic. Do they correct their mistake eventually? Like after 4-5 hours?

Does it really matter? The people who watch Faux are so old they prolly can't read that part anyway.

Do they do that during every scandal?!

Happy Monkey · 06-24-2009, 03:06 PM

Apparently they did fix it eventually.

Not necessarily. The big difference is that Republicans have forced themselves into a close alliance with their fringe wing, which is fundie religionists. This magnifies a human foible into an act of hypocrisy.

If the Dems were to cater to their fringe wing, and a Dem politician got outed as a 'closet freak', the only response would be 'what took you so long?'.

BTW, my web research found that there was one openly gay Republican in Congress who actually served 10 years after coming out. There haven't been any since then.
