Sanford in Good Company

Let’s talk about the South Carolina's governor Mark Sanford, shall we. This is the guy that wandered away from his office for three days without telling anyone where he was going, answering phone calls or checking in with his Lieutenant Governor. When asked, his poor wife told everyone that he had gone on a Father's Day hike to get away from the pressures of his job.
      
      He had not, been to the Appalachians for a hiking trip. He had, he said, been to Argentina to explore an extramarital affair with a "good-good friend."
      
      He, of course, is neither the first nor the last politician who will wreck his own home and publicly embarrass his wife just so he can clean his dipstick. Our champion is still "Slick Willy" Clinton who the oval office for knockin' it out. Hillary certainly handled the situation with grace and a glorious comeback. Nobody has a corner on the grace department like Mary Edwards, who's husband John blew any chances for higher political office when he repeatedly lied about his affair and his love child the whole time his darling Mary was fighting for her life against breast cancer. That's a pretty hard one to follow.
      
      Unless you solicit sex in a men's bathroom at the airport-- then plead guilty, then try to reverse the guilty plea all the while claiming you are not gay. Imagine the evening's dinner conversation between Former Idaho Governor Larry Craig's wife after that fiasco. Don't let's forget about Elliot Spitzer who got New Yorkers all worked up on the promise to clean up prostitution. He did his part too, personally verifying that the expensive call-girls would actually go all the way for money. See ya.
      
      Speaking of the gay and the whoremonger, New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey faced a lawsuit to force him to confess that he was batting for the other team, and Louisiana Senator David Vitter is on the path to re-election next year despite admitting he had been a customer of a Washington D.C. prostitution ring.
      
      Finally, let us not forget the dog of all dogs, Nevada Senator John Ensign, who not only cheated on his wife, but cheated on the person he was cheating with, and ended up marrying a political aid -- brings a whole new meaning to the term political aid.
      
      The most horrifying thing is of course what this says about our politics, and especially the Republican Party. Ensign, McGreevey, Vitter, Craig, and Sanford are all members of the GOP and yet Clinton and Spitzer are the only ones on our list who have had legal action taken against them (McGreevey's was only a threat). Moreover, the Democrats have never run on a platform of family values. Dems have known, and the Conservatives have demonstrated that you cannot legislate family values. These Democrats on are list are dogs, to be sure, but at least they are not hypocritical dogs.
