    If you cannot finagle a simple intercontinental love affair with all the privileges of elected office at your disposal and the wretched state of South Carolina backing up your treachery, much as they did for Ol' Jesse Helms since two days before God made Adam, then you, sir, are unfit to govern. Step down and make way for someone with better trade craft, asshole.

    Please. Much as I'd love to see this guy forced out of office for being a fucking moral majority hypocrite, what he did isn't at issue. It's that he got CAUGHT. How many of the Republicans and Democrats calling for his head are sneaking off for liaisons right now?

    @SybilDisobedience: They are not considering impeachment because he stuck his willy in a woman other than his wife. They are pursuing the ethics claims because of misuse of government funds and equipment.

    I could care less about the liaison, but I do care about using tax dollars to fund a booty call.

    @momof3wildkids: Oh, I totally agree. I was just bitching about all the clowns lamenting his affair when I imagine a good chunk of them are conducting liaisons themselves. I totally agree that the ethics violations should be the focus here.

    @momof3wildkids: They are pursing the ethics claims for one reason, and one reason only: they think it makes them look good in the next election if they do so - same as he thought during the Lewinsky [sham/circus/parade]. Lest you forget (as if you could) the Atty General of my fine state tried to lock up Craigslist's owners for facilitating prostitution just weeks before he announced his bid for the Governor's seat - and he's just one representative of the all-show, no-go type of politician that's kept us in the running for dead-last-in-everything for far too damned long.

    I hope they nail him to the wall. I could care less if he was boning some Argentine booty, but he should be impeached for the ethics violations.

    As much as I think Sanford is a tool, his desire for Clinton to be impeached was based, at least in part, on the stupid lie he told rather than the affair itself. [www.huffingtonpost.com]

    Is it just me or does anyone else find the photo absolutely hysterical? There's something so delightful about seeing her deep thoughts being peddled in a Costco type warehouse along side Cap'N Cruch and cases of Top Ramen.

    Evidently Recher is from the Dick Cheney reality where emails are supposed to magically disappear into an unattainable ether once read as opposed to being on a searchable, archivable server.

    Uh, "clustering away"? So her aide is as language-challenged as she is?

    And all they got is essentially, "Shame on them for keeping their emails"? I.e., the record in this matter?

    @BlinkyMcChuck: I'm starting to think that Alaskans who are able to use the English language correctly should identify themselves with some sort of badge, give us an idea of what the ratio up there really is. Because right now, the only evidence I have on the pro-language side is Jeanne on Mudflats, and I think she's an import.

    Considering her complaint that McCain didn't pay for any of her lawsuits, it's not like she thanked him for plucking her out of deserved obscurity and that dull dull governator job.
