He'...Face it, Sanford is a wonderful Republican. He's not only a hypocrite -- aren't you all? -- but a sociopathic liar.<br /><br />Look at this thing. Not only did he lie to his staff, but he put them and his wife in the position of lying to the public. Once he returned from Buenos Aires, he lied to the reporter who greeted him in Atlanta, inventing a tale about being alone in Argentina to escape the crushing burden of celebrity (!!) imposed by South Carolina's governorship.<br /><br />Only after <i>The State</i> newspaper confronted his staff with the e-mail exchanges with Maria did Sanford hold that press conference. And even then, he continued to float the Appalachian Trail fiction, telling people that the flight to Argentina had been a last-minute decision.<br /><br />This is Republican behavior at its finest: When in doubt, lie! When caught, lie again!Placeholderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02967627809480888708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-42194991228127317922009-06-25T16:18:30.060-04:002009-06-25T16:18:30.060-04:00There is a gaping chasm that separates "comin...There is a gaping chasm that separates "coming clean" from "getting caught." Too often these press conferences are spun as cathartic epiphanies by deeply introspective souls, rather than the perp-walks they really are.RH Potfryhttp://www.thenoseonyourface.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-68313510799763131782009-06-25T16:14:35.441-04:002009-06-25T16:14:35.441-04:00It strikes me that getting into a dark hole was wh...It strikes me that getting into a dark hole was what got Governor Sanford into this mess in the first place.Rich Fadernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-86531149554736300092009-06-25T16:14:12.570-04:002009-06-25T16:14:12.570-04:00Dude, don't forget the original Argentine Fire...Dude, don't forget the original Argentine Firecracker, Fanne Foxe and the then Chairman of W and M, Wiiiiillllbur Mills.<br /><br />Hahaha, I long for the days when W and M chairmen were satisfied with women.dr killnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-57948730204176285062009-06-25T16:08:36.779-04:002009-06-25T16:08:36.779-04:00@Smitty -

I subscribe to the instructions given to a jury that if you find a witness to be false in one thing, that you are justified in believing them to be false in all things.<br /><br />What Sanford did was both morally and politically stupid, and if I were a citizen of South Carolina I would demand his resignation as he's proven that he's willing to lie to both me (as to his whereabouts while he's collecting a paycheck I wrote) and his family.<br /><br />It would be nice if both sides of the aisle held their members to the same standard.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17143782473850677784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-38235394709086815092009-06-25T14:09:15.601-04:002009-06-25T14:09:15.601-04:00@Jim,

Attempting to cling to power when you've shot your integrity wad just gives ammunition to other, lesser creeps.<br />Oh, and Senator Ensign: go and do thou likewise.smitty1ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06559464300318848169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-87626912264501934132009-06-25T12:25:51.147-04:002009-06-25T12:25:51.147-04:00This is just more false equivalency. What Spitzer ...This is just more false equivalency. What Spitzer did was a <b>CRIME</b>. He hired hookers.<br /><br />What Sanford did wasn't illegal in any sense of the word. His wife may not like it. But it wasn't a crime against the people of South Carolina.<br /><br />And they wonder why we accuse "journalists" like Shuster of being in the tank for Democrats.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17143782473850677784noreply@blogger.com
