After going AWOL for seven days, S.C. Gov. Mark Sanford admitted Wednesday that he’d secretly flown to Argentina to visit a woman with whom he’d been having an affair.
Questions about Sanford’s whereabouts arose early this week. For two days after reporters started asking questions, his office had said he had gone hiking on the Appalachian Trail.
Appalachian Trail? What was the man thinking? Another Republican presidential hopeful bites the dust.
The Washington Post has an interesting piece on Republican’s sorry state in light of this latest scandal.
Coming a week after Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.) admitted to an extramarital affair, the scandal will impact the Republicans in several ways. First, it further damages the GOP brand, potentially driving away more voters or at least making it more difficult to win back some of those who abandoned the party in the past two elections. Second, it could disillusion social and religious conservatives — a critically important part of the Republican coalition — who may now wonder whether those who share the Republican label truly share their values. Third, the Sanford saga removes one more new-generation GOP leader from the field of prospective 2012 candidates, adding to doubts about the strength of the party’s bench.
Glenn Church over at Foolocracy takes a look at the Sanford scandal from a different angle and here’s an interactive thingy on political sex scandals over the last 35 years.

I found it difficult watching Sanford speaking to the press yesterday. The man seemed to be genuinely lost and confused. I’m not making any excuses for his hypocrisy but watching a person in pain as he obviously was, is never pleasant.
I took no joy in watching Sanford but at the same time, I felt no pain for the man. He and fellow republicans claim that same-sex marriage places the sanctity of marriage in jeopardy when these hypocrites are running around with mistresses. Let this man get whatever he deserves.
I DID take joy in watching this lowlife grovel. Aside from his stance on gay marriage, he refused millions in stimulus money which would of helped the less fortunate in his state, all the while living the good life. Screw him.
It was painful and odd to watch Sanford confess. His tone and behavior was a bit odd. I was irritated when he mentioned who he has hurt he named the mistress first and the wife and children fourth or fifth. What’s up with that? And why, why take questions?
I agree with @DonLA and @Convert Me re the hypocrisy of decrying same-sex marriage/holding out the sanctity of a marriage between a man and a woman and running around with the mistress…..
Is fidelity so unrealistic? If I’m capable of it, shouldn’t my husband be?
