By Michael J.W. Stickings I haven't written anything on the Mark Sanford saga since Thursday morning, when I commented on his humanity and hypocrisy -- what he did was all-too-human, however bizarre the contortions of his trip to Argentina and the lies of those close to him, but also, given ...

Mark Sanford, You’re No King David
The Moderate Voice —
... people of South Carolina, not to the rest of us onlookers and commentators. And South Carolinians are divided. A poll that was conducted shortly after his Wednesday press conference has it 50-42 in favour of resignation.
But Mark Sanford, to Mark Sanford, is King David, and he’s not about to resign. (One of his advisors has said that resignation is not an option. Of course, that’s what they always say.)
We shall see.

... is likening himself to my old poker buddy, King David, so he can justify sharing his nut butter with women other than his wife? What's next, changing his name to Metatron? Maybe this fake Christian asshat can go back to vo-tech, like the Wurlitzer noob did, and learn acetylene torch welding. He's going to need a new job pretty soon, and it ain't gonna be in Argentina. ...

By Mustang Bobby When the news broke that Sen. David Vitter (R-LA), Sen. John Ensign (R-NV) and then Gov. Mark Sanford (R-SC) had confessed to having extramarital affairs (and in the case of Mr. Vitter, engaged the services of a prostitute), the knee-jerk reaction among the conservatives was ...
