Hypocrisy comes 'home to roost'



You can't make this stuff up. Governor Mark Sanford (pictured above), one of Bill Clinton's top critics during the Monica Lewinsky scandal, not only disappeared for five days, but he was in Argentina having an affair with a woman whom enjoys watching "the erotic beauty of you holding yourself (or two magnificent parts of yourself) in the faded glow of the night's light". Sanford's hypocrisy only highlights the problem that Republican's face when they fall off their moral high horse.
During the Clinton affair, Sanford was a Congressman who criticized Clinton and called him a rascal. He went on to call for Clinton's resignation. His moral grandstanding was hailed by the GOP and thrust him into the political spotlight.
But back in 1998, according to the Post and Courier, he said of Clinton, “Very damaging stuff. This one’s pretty cut and dried.” Calling the overall situation messy, he added: “I think it would be much better for the country and for him personally [to resign]."

Rhetoric like Sanford's helped vilify Clinton and keep the Lewinsky incident in the public eye. Now, he ask us and his wife for our forgiveness because he is truly sorry. Sanford should do what he asked Bill Clinton to do in 1998: Resign. He should go away and let us forget about his posturing and wind blown diatribes about stimulus. Go away Sanford.
