This Mark Sanford Thing

[I.J. Reilly]

I love how people inevitably use the passive to describe themselves in these situations.

The love is inescapable. They did not want this. This is not a product of their behavior. The love was destiny, and everyone knows that you can't escape destiny.

Nail on the head, Babs......a keen observation. They always say crap like,

"We didn't choose this, some things just happen." I wonder if they all read Schopenhauer before they screw.

[Hallelujah]

Yes, very strange. I think he can kiss a presidential run goodbye.

Powell - check
Ensign - check
Sanford - check
Palin - almost check
Huckabee - pending
Barber - pending
Jindal - pending

Hey, Clinton's pre and post presidency escapades didn't seem to stop him. Perhaps it's a badge of honor these days.

[Hallelujah]

Obermann is almost giddy over Sanfords boner.

As giddy as Monica was?

That's because Dems revel in their amorality.

That's because Dems revel in their amorality.

If the Republicans want to be consistent they need to call for his resignation. If Democrats want to be consistent they need to lay low and say nothing. Not surprisingly, they are each doing exactly the opposite of that.

You could bring Reagan back from the dead and he couldn't even beat Obama in three years.

What are you smoking? What has Obama done that hasn't driven this country further in the poor house?

Oh, and he condemns a new world leader, every week. And they just laugh. That'ss the kind of president American's want? If so, you are right.

"I just don't know how we got here" or "We didn't plan it this way."

Right. You accidentally found yourselves alone together and the pants magically disappeared and everything went blank and next thing you knew you were in media coitus. I'm buying it.

It's because neither is a party of principles..........but merely parties to a huge game they are playing with us. It's winning and losing. And we're the losers in the end.

Only thing the republicans have over democrats in this area is that they haven't killed anyone.

Man! That must be some kinda sex!!

Reminds me of when Bruce Willis' character in "The Last Boy Scout" found his best friend naked in his bedroom closet:

Mike Mathews: Look Joe, it just happened.

Joe Hallenbeck: Sure, sure, it just happened. Could happen to anybody. It was an accident, right? You tripped, fell on the floor and accidently stuck your dick into my wife. "Oops, I'm sorry, Mrs. H, I guess this just isn't my week".

[Hallelujah]

Man! That must be some kinda sex!!

Post sex death.

[myboynoah]

Post sex death.

I prefer BG's suggestion of Repub prowess. Best to quit while you're ahead.

SC Repubs may still do so.

I see the Repubs as at least being a little more consistent in these types of things. Sanford and Ensign are finished as national level Repub politicians. These things do matter to most Repubs.

Dems are a different story, at least when it comes to Dems getting caught in these situations. I recall one of the biggest Dem responses during the Clinton/Lewinsky fiasco was "Nobody cares if they had sex!"

Given the response to Sanford, I guess Dems really only care about Repub sex. It's called penis envy.
