... (R-NV) and Gov. Mark Sanford (R-SC) of affairs and marital infidelities. The reality is that if you run as the party with a moral high ground you better act like it, because when you get caught with your pants down, the public is going to give you a wedgie.

The Reaction —
... His Argentine mistress was his "soul mate," he claims, but he wants to reconcile with his wife? Okay, but what does his wife think of that? "This was a whole lot more than a simple affair, this was a love story. A forbidden one, a tragic one, but a love story at the end of the day." Sure, I get that.
