Here's a place to start: Shut it. Shut your piehole. Your constituents, your wife, your children, your allies (the ones you have left), will thank you. Really, the only people who want to hear your serial confessionals are reporters and that is a bad sign. And I say this as a journalist who is eating. this. shit. up. Seriously, my news budget meetings haven't been this much fun in a long time.

Jenny Sanford may have just found the perfect opportunity to flee her husband's troubling obsession with explosives.

I hate feeling so powerless to change our situation here. All of our energy goes into maintaining the relatively modest status quo in this household, and keeping our jobs. It's awful to feel no economic mobility, no career mobility, and no power to improve the situation. I can only imagine what it's like for people who don't have our advantages.

yap and more evidence of this "soulmate" bs he keeps spouting... once he starts considering reality instead of this druggy love fog, that soulmate passion starts fading under the microscope.

in this situation though this doesn't have anything to do with a conservative or liberal view of marriage. it's just a middle-aged dude who got lazy with his relationship, took his family for granted, and then found some woman who "made him" feel sexy and alive again. like that's a big deal. it's why both conservative and liberal marrieds screw around. they need to have that validation of their potency. john edwards isn't a conservative.

Don't cry for me South Carolina,
You know the truth is I used to love her,
But then I emailed,
Now I love another,
And my Presidential
Aspirations are gone

The California budget crisis is also looming large, and I'm starting to wonder if Schwarzenegger isn't going to propose prematurely pitching parts of California into the ocean.

This is so clearly a case of what we were talking about a few days ago: Something happens to your brain chemistry when you're cheating and you just, somehow, despite all strikingly obvious evidence to the contrary, feel like it's alllll ok. It's ok to declare my love for a woman who is not my wife for all the world, her whole family, and OUR CHILDREN to hear! It's ok!!
God, the pain that woman must be going through right now. And those poor boys! Jesus H. Moses in the bullrushes. That man needs to go back to kindergarten and learn how to treat people.

But yes, I see your point. I think that's part of the lie that cheaters tell themselves (again, I say this as someone who cheated once, on an old boyfriend, so sadly I have my own experience to lean on) -- it was, somehow, Bigger Than Me.
"Pathetic and dismaying": A) I find this describes much of human behavior; and B) That would be a fairly awesome name for a band.

I can't imagine what type of music that band would play but I'm sure all the members would be wearing tons of eyeliner.
07/02/09
The band would have to be one of those over-intellectualized emo-punk outfits, don't you think? Lots of eye-liner, lots of skinny jeans, lots of girls swoooooooning.

Also, policymakers' fates are too tied with the fates of banks and other financial institutions.
My solution is to move to Candyland.

I think that's where the Kandyman came from. I'd stay away from the lemonade.

I wish I could believe like Megan mentioned that he is humiliating himself because that's the way Mrs. Sanford prefers to get her pound of flesh, but I agree with her that it probably isn't.
This story is the oft-mentioned gift that keeps on giving.

"Every elected representative in this country should feel a responsibility to encourage full participation in the census. To do otherwise is to advocate for a smaller share of federal funding for our constituents. Boycotting the constitutionally-mandated census is illogical, illegal and not in the best interest of our country."

ThinkProgress is speculating that if Minnesota loses a congressional seat b/c of an undercount, her own district would be right up there to be eliminated. That would be sweet justice.
