Governor Gone AWOL
The other day I was having a conversation with someone and we were discussing whether or not it was likely that South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford would resign his office. The other person -- a Republican -- took the attitude "why should he resign -- Bill Clinton didn't!"
Yes, both men strayed from the monogamous straight and narrow, but the difference is that Bill Clinton ran his job while doing so instead of going AWOL for a week like Sanford did.
I think he should resign, but it's not because he had an extramarital affair. That is a private matter between him, his wife, and the other woman involved and I wouldn't give a flying fuck who he screws as long as he ran his job.
Rather, I think he should resign because the man disappeared without anyone, including the Lieutenant Governor, knowing where he'd really gone and was incommunicado for that week. He wasn't running the job he'd been elected to do. That is the real scandal.

..and it seems pretty low to disappear on "Father's Day" when he has children at home..
I could also deal without him quoting the Bible every time he speaks, but that's a whole different issue.
And, both, Gov. and Lt. Gov., get great benefits for life. Only in America! However, I don't think the SC politicians can hold a candle to the politicians in California. We have, the very best of the best.... nutjobs
Good writing and a good 4th.
