The wife of embattled South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford called his affair with an Argentine woman "inexcusable" but said Thursday she is willing to forgive him.

That's nice. But tell him, not us. It's none of our business. Is there something in the DNA of politicians and their wives that require them to be such exhibitionists with their personal lives?

She is in deep denial and is probably stating what all the Christian counselors are telling her. Enabling is different from forgiveness. Unfortunately this is the kind of counseling many churches hand out to women and it simply makes things worse. Good marriage counselors would tell her that he either stops the relationship or they must stop the marriage and she must face this.

It's just like a kid who keeps coming back for money and never learns. The enabling just makes things worse.
