more crying, more spilling


sanford won't quit. out and wining yesterday, so thankfully only saw him blubbering, no sound. just as i predicted, his 27-minute tearful amble down confession lane last week was less than truthful. other romps with his south american soul-mate, other almost break-ups, oops-yeah, i used state money but i'll quick right pay that all back, other ultimatums from his hair-helmeted spouse were part of his teary quivering conference yesterday. and also almost cheating with other floozies. but he "didn't cross the ultimate line" with them. what does that mean? state line? equatorial line? belt line? the tan lines of which he's so fond? penetration? falling in love? tell us, gubbner, what's this line of which you speak?

have they learned nothing? this same saga has been played out how many times in recent years with philandering politicos? dogged muckrakers are gonna dig up your dirt, ok? jfk's tomatoes going in and out the white house backdoor is a custom long dead and you are now under 24/7 scrutiny, with a passel of jackals waiting for you to trip over your moral code. "yes, i have sinned. no comment." anybody wanna give that a shot next time around?

so sure of his own righteousness, sanford vilified bill clinton for "most importantly breaking his oath to his wife", hillary. cut to 2008, and he's banging a tv personality and groping her in bars. they also had years of e-mail and phone correspondence before actually boning.

so if your respect for your wife, your children and your god are so central to your self-identity, why did you keep on with this woman? if feelings started to stir, shouldn't you have dug some more holes in the backyard til they were buried and dead? guys who walk the walk actually resist temptation, ya know? instead, you find yourself in buenos aires deep in a latin lady love-box.

he still has not said he will quit her.

he has also called it a "love story", and that he told his problem-named-maria that "he was trying to fall back in love with his wife." now, i'm no expert on monogamy, but heating it up between the loins of a latin hottie sounds like the biblical opposite of good quality opposite marriage-building.

can somebody punch him in the mouth and make him shut the hell up? spare himself, his wife and those boys any more public embarrassment?

my understanding is that the governor of south carolina holds very little real power, and that nobody, but nobody wants the lt. governor to ascend a step. i don't think the guy needs to resign because of his wandering willy. however, he lied to his staff and his security about his whereabouts for a week. he now has admitted using state money to get laid. uh, yeah, that's all criminal, ok?
