I Would Ask For Y'Alls!

Right now, even as I type, Mark Sanford is apologizing to Jesus for not telling him that he was gonna head down to Buenos Aires for . . . for what now? I know that whenever I go out, I leave . . . wait, he is fucking his Argentinian pen pal!

It is kind of neat, looking back at how far we have gone past the point where it was possible to parody these people.

It's like the plot of Sleepless in Seattle crossed with the plot of The American President crossed with the cast of Deliverance crossed with the Lifetime Original Monica Lewinsky story crossed with National Lampoon's Airplane! crossed with Everything Else ever!

I think this tops, as well as compels the creation of, the list of bizarre political suicides.

But hey, when you've just got to have some hot portena action . . .

I guess Sanford decided he didn't want to be a politician anymore. Its not like he didn't know exactly what was going to happen when he left without even bothering with a decent story. One wouldn't have been that hard, considering his wife already knew what was going on (and was ok with it, apparently). But why not just quit to spend more time with the family, like a normal politician?

This one's classic.

Where do these guys get the notion that apologizing to Jesus or their wives somehow requires the use of a microphone? Maybe it does. I don't know.

Because he wanted to spend time away from the family.

And I'm reasonably certain the family wants to spend time away from him.

That press conference was a delicious spectacle. One of the very few things on tv that exceeded my expectations. He played the whole thing straight- it would have been mere theater if he hadn't.

The emails, on the other hand...pure embarrassment and shame.

Just like Wilbur Mills, brought down by an Argentinian firecracker, but sadly, no hot Tidal Pool action.

Or he looked at David Vitter's career, and figured "What's the worst that could happen?" And once Jeebus has forgiven him and washed the sin away, the social conservatives will eat him up with a spoon (hmm, perhaps not the best choice of words, there). Never mind his past calls for a certain philandering President to resign by explicitly (hmm, perhaps not the best choice of word, there) stating that it's what he himself would do under the circumstances.

@mds

This is very, very unlikely to help Sanford's career.

For a moment I got confused between Sanford and Stanford until I realised one was just fucking and the other was fucking with the money.
