Sanford And Hon

I can't believe Republican Gov. Mark Sanford of South Carolina, that he actually had an affair, now confessed, with a woman in Argentina.

Good grief! How do these people in high office think they can do this kind of stuff and get away with it? Talk about living on the edge. A governor disappears for several days at a time and he thinks no one's going to notice? Is he just oblivious to sanity?

It'd be bad enough for some low level, anonymous person, whose comings and goings wouldn't make the news. Any kind of erratic behavior, especially if you were trying to conceal it, like being away for prolonged periods with no good explanation, is going to be known by someone. But to be a governor, and to have had (at least in the news) presidential aspirations, it's just absurd.

The happiest guy in town is Senator Ensign. Now Sanford takes the microphone of shame to confess. I just simply can't believe it.

Another Republican, by the way. The "family values" crowd. "Sanctity of marriage," "defense of marriage," and all that malarkey. I guess they can fool the voters, but they can't fool Freud.
