Mark Sanford also Rises

What did Mark Sanford do, that was so bad, that it has got everybody so damned worked up? For Pete’s Sake…Sanford was doing a woman, right? Not a kid, or a dwarf, or tapping his foot under a stall in the men’s room as is so popular among our duely elected representatives these days.

I’m afraid that the sun does not rise and fall on Mark Sanford’s pitiful erections. But, at least apparently, he has them…which is something the holy-rollers and moral-howlers can’t seem to stand. So…Sanford had to do a little weepy “welcome me back to the flock,” speech that, at least in my eyes, was somewhat embarrassing to watch.

Are Americans so naïve they think that this doesn’t go on all the time? Do they think that the goings on in their state capitol are any different than that night they had too much wine and wound up in their newly divorced neighbor’s hot tub? My, My… we are such a bunch of prudish prunes…and looked that way right after we got dragged out of that hot tub by the angry missus. What are we going to do about it anyway? Stone Mr. Sanford; shun him; make him wear a scarlet letter on the lapel of his expensive, tailored suit.

Not me...I'm glad the guy got a little. Too bad for him he's getting a little more.
