Gov. Sanford, another defender of marriage

"Let's defend the sanctity of marriage between one man, one woman, and one woman in Argentina." -Imaginary quote from Gov. Mark Sanford

OK, I made that up. He didn't really say that at his press conference. In fact, I couldn't tell you what he actually said because it was darn near incomprehensible. Something about apologizing to his wife, his four boys, his staff, his state, his friend at the gym, his father-in-law, oh and by the way I had an affair in Argentina and lied about where I've been for the past five days.

However, I take no pleasure in watching (another) Republican officeholder fall from grace on the issue of marital fidelity. It's sad. The only silver lining is that the most recent Republican adulterers have been swinging with women, instead of other men. That's the kind of change that the GOP can be proud of.
