Sanford
Well, at least we know he's heterosexual, which sharply differentiates him from all other Republican leaders. (Or should I call them Repooflicans?)
Seriously, I'm always puzzled by this type of scandal. I understand lookin' for love in all the wrong places; I did some of that before I soured on the whole mess of human relations. And I understand self-sabotage; I did a lot of that in adolescence, then grew out of it. What I don't understand is the high-stakes gambling drive, this compulsion to put yourself in situations where your own defects can bring down lots of other people when you fall. It's irresponsible, and the people who keep such a man afloat are also irresponsible. ¶ 12:59 PM
