Mark Sanford's last tango

sanford.gif
This is happening so regularly now that it almost isn't worth commenting on. After all, we'd just gotten over Senator John Ensign of Nevada last week when Mark Sanford obligingly added his name to the rapidly growing list of Politicians You've Probably Never Heard Of Until They Cheated On Their Spouses.

This latest sex scandal borders on the garden variety (everything seems rather ordinary after Eliot Spitzer and John Edwards), except that there's a certain deliciousness to the self-immolation of someone who was so quick to condemn Bill Clinton for the same behavior. Hypocrisy is the spice that livens up an otherwise mundane dish.

And besides, as I've pointed out in the cartoon, what's wrong with nice, red-blooded American girls? What are our womenfolk, chopped carne asada?

It's an insult to the locals, like joyriding around Detroit in a Hyundai.

Chan,

That's one of your more hilarious cartoons. Once again you've gotten to the heart of the matter by connecting dots most of us wouldn't even notice are on the same page.

I think this cartoon, though funny, downplays what happened. Gov. Sanford was infatuated to the point where he vanished for days from his job and family, i.e. let his feelings take control of his judgment, moral obligations etc. That's not the same thing as a hour-long fling with a stripper in the VIP Room at the Cheetah.

Gov. Sanford lost control of himself.
