By now I'm sure you are all aware of how this saga began. First he was missing. Then he was hiking the Appalachian Trail (on National nude hiking day by the way....can't make this stuff up). His phone got tracked down by a cellphone tower near Atlanta. The SUV he took was found at an airport in Columbia, SC. Then we find out he's in Argentina. To top it all off while all this is going on his wife and staff weren't worried at all. If that didn't ring alarm bells for you then God help anyone that is ever around you in case of an emergency.
So yet another politician who had an affair and will get brought down because of it. Only if we started to bring down politicians who sucked at their jobs in other fashion too. An affair shouldn't be the only way to take down an elected official. That's another post for later this week.
If you haven't seen his announcement from earlier today...here is is.
I get a little extra enjoyment out of this every time someone from the right gets tangled up in something like this. All the Republican party does is preach about morality and the sanctity of marriage. Don't get me wrong...there are enough Democratic politicians that have been tangled up in something like this too, but their party is going around on being the morality police.
I want to send out some Kudos to Media Matters. See anything wrong with this picture?
Yes, Fox "News" is playing some mind games with its audience again. Somehow Mark Sanford is now a member of the Democratic Party? As Media Matters points out, this isn't the first time they've done something like this either.
The Daily Show with Jon Stewart had some fun with this Sanford story last night. I can only imagine what tonight's episode will be like.
