Sanford’s Political Suicide

Mark Sanford should resign because he is to stupid to be a Governor of a State. I mean think about this for a minute. Here is a Governor of a State who actually thought that, without getting busted, he could take a state vehicle to the Atlanta airport and hop on a plane for another Continent and pass through customs and spend six days lounging around Buenos Aires with “The Girl from Ipanema,” and then get back on a plane and go through customs again and tell his staff that if anybody questions his whereabouts to just tell them that he “just went for a hike on the Appalachian trail.” I mean he obviously concluded that he could do all that without getting busted. Word has it that next month he planned to fly to the Arctic circle to hook up with a hot Inuit babe he met while at a UN conference on the plight of baby seals.

Nobody this stupid should be allowed to govern a car, never mind a whole state. I’d rather be governed by the mother of Le-a then be governed by Mark Sanford. Her story makes more sense then Sanford’s.

The stupidity of all this really has to be an issue. I mean if Sanford wanted to cavort with strange flesh besides his wife he certainly could have been far more clever about it then taking off for freaking Argentina. What US Public official, not suffering from insanity, goes to Argentina to get laid? Not even any of Joseph Kennedy’s sons were that hormonal. I mean at least Idaho Senator Larry Craig realized that you didn’t have to leave the airport Men’s Bathroom to get a little action.

Mark Sanford should resign because if a man would break his vows to his wife there is no reason to think he will not break his vows to the state. Mark Sanford should resign because if a man will treat his sons the way that Sanford’s has treated his it is unspeakable to think how he would treat the citizens that he is supposed to be serving. Mark Sanford should resign because he obviously has no self control. Do you want somebody governing a state that is being governed by their genitalia?

Man, I hope that Argentina woman was worth it, because at age 49 this trip to meet up with his little Lolita is going to be the memory he carries with him the rest of his life and that memory will have to be his satisfaction for the rest of his life since nothing in his career from here on out will be giving him any satisfaction.

Sin never makes sense.

Never.

But sometimes it makes a little less sense then other times.

This is one of those times.
