On Governor Mark Sanford (R-SC)
The facts that emerged today regarding the illicit and salacious adultery committed by Republican Governor of South Carolina, Mark Sanford, amidst the numerous other sex scandals within the (mostly) Republican party, seem to reflect a deep-seated and very obvious lack of any kind of self control. Hypocrisy comes to mind first, of course. The maddening fact of the matter is that this Sanford man, along with so many other smarmy and villainous characters in the Republican party, has/have this uncontrollable need to actually preach to us, the American people, about moral conduct and so-called family values; all whilst their own lives are utterly mired in turpitude, deception, lies, weakness of character, personality disorders, and general wickedness and/or stupidity.
1. Former Sen. Larry Craig (R-Idaho) for the "wide stance" excuse, the married-but-secretly-gay possibility, and the details of the bathroom stall.
2. Former Rep. Mark Foley (R-FL) whose instant messages to boys were so icky we couldn't stop reading.
3. Former Gov. Jim McGreevey (D-N.J.) for the wife who stood at his side during the press conference (until the book came out) and the unforgettable "I am a gay American" line.
4. Former Gov. Eliot Spitzer (D-N.Y.) because Mr. Rectitude was a hypocrite who had paid for a hooker.
5. Former Sen. John Edwards (D-N.C.) for claiming he cheated on his wife only when her cancer was in remission and for apparently letting a loyal campaign aide pretend to be his girlfriend's baby daddy.
6. Former Rep. Don Sherwood (R-PA) for the 911 calls and police reports that alleged he'd choked his mistress, which Sherwood denied.
7. Former Rep. Vito Fossella (R-N.Y.) for his secret second family.
8. Former Senate candidate Jack Ryan (R-IL) for the pre-election bombshell that derailed his senate race and gave the country President Obama: Ryan's ex-wife reportedly accused him of trying to make her go to sex clubs, according records in the couple's divorce file. He denied the accusation.
9. Former Rep. Ed Schrock (R-VA) for an allegation by a gay activist that the congressman placed gay personal ads.
10. Sen. David Vitter (R-LA) for his phone number in the D.C. Madam's black book and his admission of "sin".
Cheers,
