#1 Someone ought to convince this schmuck that "When you're in a hole, stop digging" is a Bible verse...maybe then he'll finally STFU and go away.

#2 ...He really did luck out when Michael Jackson shuffled off this mortal coil a couple days later. He's got no intention of being the first SC governor run out of office since 1865, and even the Columbia paper says there just isn't enough indignation to push him out.

#3 Actually, from Christian theology, God will make him better -- as a matter of fact its his only recourse.

But he keeps overlooking the components of reconciling one's self to God from a state of sin: penance (sack-cloth and ashes were the uniform of the day for that long ago) and reparations (making whole what you damaged), as well as genuine repentance.

Gov Sanford seems to be missing all 3.

I am thankful this happened - this guy was slated to be a GOP establishment front runner in 2012.

#4 THis one sentence points out the epic fail that the Country CLubbers in the GOP have continued to foster:

small-government agenda that sought to give his office more authority

Umm NO! Smaller government does NOT mean putting more power in the executive branch, it means reducing the size and power that ALL branches have.

These morons at the top of the GOP just Do. Not. Get. It.

#5 The possibility of a White House run in 2012 has all but disappeared.

Unless of course he changes parties....

#7 If he would just man up and make an honest woman of his mistress, then he could talk. Until then, everything he says is beneath contempt.

#8 rammer, he is still married to his wife. His first obligation is to her.

#9 Not to mention his children.

#10 All true. I do not mean to imply that he should give up on his current marriage, but he has said and done a lot of things that are not likely to lead to reconciliation. Whether that path is closed to him, which was my underlying assumption above, or not, he needs to accept the consequences and show some respect for one of these two women before he says another word. His behavior to this point has been ghastly.
