Sanford should have read a prepared statement, something that went like this:
===========================================================
Indeed, I did have a relationship with an Argentine woman that was not appropriate. In fact, it was wrong. It constituted a critical lapse in judgment and a personal failure on my part for which I am solely and completely responsible.
I misled people, including even my wife. I deeply regret that. I can only tell you I was motivated by many factors: first, by a desire to protect myself from the embarrassment of my own conduct. I was also very concerned about protecting my family.
Now this matter is between me, my wife, our family — and our God. I must put it right, and I am prepared to do whatever it takes to do so. Nothing is more important to me personally. But it is private. And I intend to reclaim my family life for my family. It's nobody's business but ours. Even Governors have private lives.
=========================================================== Something like that might improve his popularity, you think? /sarc
You are hired. Good writing. Do you have a card?
Sanford is going to rue this pressor. HE was so random! I wouldn’t hire him to mow my lawn. He’d get distracted by the plants. How has he made it this far?!
Aside: Solomon had 1000 women and yet everyone sings his praises for his wisdom. He didn’t turn out so well after all.
