I ALSO FEEL BAD FOR MARK SANFORD
I guess he did have to come out and say something.
But it was too much. I could have done with less.
I expect to hear people talking about “the heart” in movies. Not under the rotunda in the state house.
I expect to see a story about a governor going awol to visit his girlfriend in Buenos Aires in the movies. Not under the rotunda in the state house.
I expect to read squirm inducing love emails on the big screen in the movies, in a fictional story where the hero gets caught doing something stupid but he’s real and authentic as well as vulnerable and devastated. In the movies. Not under the rotunda in the state house.
This is a very painful situation, obviously, for the people involved. But when it is so painful for the people watching that they can’t bring themselves to behave in the usual manner–mocking and deriding the people caught red handed–it’s obviously too much.
Sanford screwed up. He’s a politician so he has to own up. But this is one of those situations where I almost wish he would do what we normally consider to be the wrong thing–refuse to talk about it.
