I mentioned when the this story first broke...there would be more to this story...and it's not over yet! Next will be the news of more than one woman has had affairs with the soon to be ex-governor!

See, 7 trysts are not resignation material. 8? That would seal it. But 7 is ok.

Yesterday I received email from a SC relative that stated 3 other women are coming forward claiming they too ... have had flings with Sanford.

Whether true or not remains to be seen. thestate.com has been ripe with article after article but I didn't note any articles about the "other women".

Who can not find it outrageous? - yet again - a POS ran for office promising policies to discriminate against our citizens, deny equal rights and enact laws to do so while touting their moral superiority when they are nothing but spiritually constipated moral charlatans laughing all the way to the bank and political office.

I keep flashing back to the DeLay/Reed emails revealed in legal discovery doc dump... wherein the two men were mocking and chuckling over the nation's fundamentalists as being

(paraphrased).."whackos who will believe anything we tell them and send us money to do it"

It is quite dunning to witness innumerable posted comments on various news sites .... people who just cannot comprehend the "hypocrisy" of these 'values' conservatives. They don't see it, don't see the "problem".

First stage is denial. That stage has lasted decades, when do they move on to the next and begin healing their intellectual constipation?

Soon, Sanford is going to have to go back all the way to Greek mythology. "It's okay because Zeus never resigned and he had more than 10 affairs."

I'd bet real money his wife is the one who got him to start taking the Viagra in the first place.

I think in many of these cases part of the problem is that these ambitious men have made strategic marriages that never really turned on their lights sexually. They eventually realize what they are missing out on, and look for it elsewhere.

Sanford's wife seems a case in point. She may be a terrific political strategist, but it's hard to imagine that she's much fun in the sack.

Meh. I'm not sure I care to hear the details of Sanford's meetings with his mistress. If he misused tax money in order to do it (which it looks like has), that's one thing, but otherwise I don't care to know where he met his lover and when.

If the (apparently wholly unsubstantiated) rumor posted upthread - about additional women coming forward - turned out to be true, though, that'd be different. Feh.

Sanfords in like Flynn... the woman wasn't black and she wasn't a nanny in the US illegally. Everything else is just a good ol' boy getting a piece of strange.... har har har... ya hear that bubba? Piece of strange? Har har... pass me one of them Jax willya?

This guy's marriage is so over.

Oops - latest reports on MSNBC say that Sanford has admitted hiking other trails with other women. But apparently he never completed the hike with these other women.

Ooh, just when I was going to post "I bet it'll turn out to be 'Sanford Admits More Lovers'"...

Next up is Jenny will divorce him.

Yuck. May we consign Sanford's public agonizing to the trashy Too Much Information file along with: Palin's views on her illegitimate grandson's father, her grandson's father's views on Palin, Vitter's propensity for hookers and diapers, the transgressions of the Junior Senator from Nevada, the contents of Michael Jackson's stomach, the fact that Spitzer wore his socks during sex with a hooker, etc., etc.

Enough. We need to concentrate on the things we need to know rather than the things we'll never know and/or can exist without knowing.

....thinkin' with his dick....

I think the wife's comments were worked on with her lawyer so don't read too much into what she said. I have read pieces elsewhere implying she is either some gullible homebody or a naive dupe. Having lived in the south, I know that the only thing a wife can say is "I love him, I want to stay married to him, we are working on our marriage, I want us to be a family again" etc. etc. etc. Southern states mostly have fault laws still in place. Even if she wanted to kill him and leave him her lawyer probably said just keep saying you want your marriage to work. Then when he really acts too stupid about this too many times, which I think he has now, she can talk divorce. Which is still a gamble for a woman to do in the south. Or she can wait and let him get even more stupid. I actually feel sorry for the guy now. I don't think his bizarre behavior was brought on by the affair and loss of the hottie but because he obviously has a serious screw loose. He is now asking to be impeached, canned, asked to resign, divorced, you name it. I think he imagines if that all happens he can go live down in Argentina with his honey. But probably by that time she will be sick of him too.

Too much information.

This guy needs to know when to just shut the fuck up.

The focus should be on why Sanford thought it was acceptable to abandon his duties for almost a week, and how much taxpayer money went to funding his booty calls.

The word is that Sanford is on the brink of a mental breakdown. He might just resign on his own since he can't govern and have a midlife crisis/breakdown at the same time.

The guy obviously was really hooked on his latin honey, and can't get over it. This public grieving is like nothing I've ever seen in politics, maybe it was more than hot sex...I mean infidelity.

When the next press conference is announced I will be in attendance, and out of respect for Jenny and the children I won't be grinning from ear to ear like those at the last one.

Ol Sparky needs to keep his mouth shut for the sake of his wife and sons. If he believes Maria is his soulmate *cough cough*, he needs to get a divorce and move to Argentina.

Everytime he goes on these "talks of romance" and forgiveness, I can only think of the brilliant Jon Stewart line "...conservative mind and liberal penis." Sparky is truly becoming a joke.
