Twisted tho...LOL

No, I'm thinking of it on a more personal level. Taking him at his word when he talks about his faith, etc., he was engaging in behavior that was directly contrary to the values he claims to hold. If he's not lying about holding those values (maybe he is, but maybe he isn't), then somethings got to give or the self-conflict can blow up. What he did strikes me as possibly a way of forcing a resolution on himself, a sort of subconscious "save me from myself" behavior.

Why don't we declare a Political-Out-Your-Extramarital-Relationship week and get it all done at once?

Maybe John Edwards could publish his DNA results as part of the circus.

And the entertainment just keeps coming.

I wouldn't assume anything -- perhaps "make" was the wrong choice of words about the Spitzers. But I have seen enough similar press conferences where the wife stood there with stoic expressions and a killer vibe.

Add Pennsylvania's governor to that list. Now, if we could only get someone normal to run against him.

LOL - that was the talk of our office, too - followed by a deep sigh when the "other person" turned out to be a woman.

There's a saying in politics (if you'll pardon my language): "I hope the screwing you're getting is worth the screwing you'll BE getting." Gov. Sanford has thrown away any chance he had at the White House with both hands - not that I know enough about him to care one way or another. I just hate to watch people shoot themselves in the foot so blatently, especially if they were otherwise quite worthy of mention.
