That’s what I’m saying. There’s plenty of reason to be angry at both Sanford and Ensign but we should not lose sight of the big picture and neglect to ask bigger questions.
OK, so it was known since late last year, that Sanford was having an apparent sexual relationship with this Argentine woman. Known by a newspaper, apparently known by his political rivals and known by his wife, who by all accounts was the real striver of the two.
There was a weird, apparent non-sequitur from yesterday, regarding Sanford’s passport, offering a recent photo of it to the press.
He was supposedly out of contact, but they knew when his flight would arrive, even though he arrived earlier than scheduled.
The cell phone tracking thing ... doesn’t that strike anybody as Orwellian?
He cheated on his wife and lied about it. That makes him a tool and a fool, being in the limelight as he’s been. But something really smells here.
