Sanford Press Conference: Live Thread

[Kay]

Yeah, he rambled from one “sorry” to another but it did not sound sincere. Kinda like “Oh, shucks, yeah it wasn’t right” No real concern. Weird.

Tangential thinking. I still think he should have an MRI to rule out a brain tumor or something.

[MHGinTN]

They’re busy right now relating the emails to the needy democrat public who were starved for details when John Edwards’ affair was squelched in media and no really juicy dirt showed up with Ensign’s affair. The enemedia should get at least a week of distraction from this dickhead SC governor.

[khnyny]

Yes but Bill Clinton wasn’t stoopid enough to fly off solo to foreign countries to entertain affairs.

That we know of.

Clinton was POTUS (as opposed to a state governor) who just happened to get BJ's in the Oval Office which, in my estimation, is far worse.

[Jrabbit]

Oh good....Shep is all over this....

Wife is trying to forgive him

E-mails from lovers to each other are very pukey. Maria is soooo in love and just can’t help it....

Shep is going to replay the presser right after he reports on Iran.....

[khnyny]

Ugh...why Ensign? Why Sanford? If a Republican has to go down in flames, why can’t it be Charlie Crist and Lindsey Graham being spotted by the press cavorting on a boat with Thai ladyboys or something?

Exactly, lol.

Apparently, personal emails between Gov. Sanford and his paramour are now public knowledge. This means his personal email account was hacked into by someone. I'm sorry, but this kind of political payback sh*t is not helping anyone, not in South Carolina or nationwide.

[lainie]

Did I hear correctly?? Someone, newspaper or media has had these e-mails since Dec.??

That's what I heard. Local Fox affiliate in SC.

link to Maria's letters

[Jrabbit]

Wonder how they got them? And, why they’re publishing them...

[lainie]

Sorry, meant this link. And many of the commenters at the bottom are asking the same questions you are.

[eleni121]

NO way Jose.
Bush - NO Mas!

[dragnet2]

Jeb Bush may emerge as a dark horse.

With comments like this, the GOP is utterly hopeless.

[NewLand]

You are hired. Good writing.

Thanks Kay...but those words were were taken verbatim from Bill Clinton's speech on national TV after he testified and the night before the truth came out offcially. I just chaged a few words i.e. President to Governor, Ms Lewinsky to Argentine woman...etc.

I'm still open for some p/t writing opportunities... :-)

[dragnet2]

Now reporting this AH used tax payer funds 3 times to go to Argentina...

This government corruption is endless.

[Norman Bates]

“Now, if Huckabee doesn’t run, I think that opens things up for Palin a bit.”

IMO Huck is definitely running.

[rintense]

Huck running means he’ll be the stalking horse for whoever is the leading RINO. I will never vote for the Huckster. He’s nothing more than a Christian socialist bastardizing the faith for political expediency. ‘I raised taxes because children need roads...’ Pfft.

[Palladin]

Maybe after he’s impeached, Sanford can get a job writing romance novels:

“Two, mutual feelings .... You have a particular grace and calm that I adore. You have a level of sophistication that so fitting with your beauty. I could digress and say that you have the ability to give magnificent gentle kisses, or that I love your tan lines or that I love the curve of your hips, the erotic beauty of you holding yourself (or two magnificent parts of yourself) in the faded glow of the night’s light - but hey, that would be going into sexual details ...”

I wonder if he ever talked to his wife that way?

[rintense]

Highly doubtful he talked to his wife that way.

[tioga]

sanford is the king of the world wind romance novels......LOL

[tioga]

oh, boy.....he used the taxpayer dime to go on world wind romantic vacations?

[Norman Bates]

What are you smoking? Of course he has to resign and he should. He disappeared off on a foreign trip to have an affair - no one in his state government had any idea where he was. He is a gross incompetant and a derelict and erratic. This scandal makes it 90% sure even with his resignation the seat will go to the Democrats the next time. If he doesn’t resign it will be 100% sure it goes to them.

[muawiyah]

Sanford was AGAINST "Real ID" ~ and one does wonder to what degree the fact he had a Latina Firecracker girlfriend influenced him.

Could his affair constitute "taking a bribe"?
