1. details, please, for us at work

who cannot listen.

[LiberalFighter]

85. I want to know whether his staff knew he was having an affair.

[ObamaKerryDem]

102. Uh huh, I knew it!

Anyone giving THAT many flimsy excuses had to be hiding something.

Wonder what the GOP response is/will be? Imagine how they'd react if a Democrat got caught with something like this, after giving multiple, far fetched ( at best!) excuses. They'd be out for blood. It would make the whole Edwards thing look like nothing!


That said, it will be somewhat entertaining to see how this all pans out..:popcorn: :evilgrin:

[Hieronymus]

2. Has he had a psychological break?

[madaboutharry]

3. Oh boy, I don't think he has anything

good coming his way.

His wife is MIA.

[jefferson_dem]

4. Sanford: "What I have found in this job is that people desperately need a break from the bubble."

"I'm a bottom line kind of guy"

[FrenchieCat]

5. Melt Down!

Chip to fall where they may!

[jefferson_dem]

6. Apologizing to wife and kids...

...This is the first step in a very long process.

[FrenchieCat]

8. uh-ho!

[jefferson_dem]

9. "It's gonna hurt and we'll let the chips fall where they may."

n/t

[colinmom71]

Now apology to the wife...

[tridim]

10. Here comes the waterworks

[FrenchieCat]

11. He's crying! Oh, shit!

[goclark]

32. He started crying when he talked about his wonderful

male friend who is there today.
A dear friend who slept in his basement during his campaigns -- Tom Davis.

[MadBadger]

12. Is he getting teary-eyed!

Looks and sounds like he is about to cry

[jefferson_dem]

16. He looks and sounds like total shit...

Wow. This is a total meltdown.

[FrenchieCat]

13. Chick in the back is smiling broadly! WTF?

[panader0]

27. She's great!

[KatyaR]

14. No apology to the people of his state, I notice . . .

apparently he hasn't even been home or talked to his wife--man, I would hate to be him when he walks in the door tonight.

[Thrill]

15. Oh shit. Sounds like he is about to say he had an affair or something

hahahahahahha

[FrenchieCat]

18. Talking about "God's law"?

[KatyaR]

26. You hit it right on the head--

five bucks for you!

[The_Casual_Observer]

17. Oh tough tough ass you bastard republican!

[Prism]

19. This is going nowhere good . . .

This is one of the most bizarre press conferences I've ever witnessed.

[FrenchieCat]

22. Aye,,,,,,

God protecting him from himself!

[Prism]

44. That emphasis on God's law is making me wonder

Certainly adultery could be the one and only reference, but I'm sensing some slight pronoun gaming.

[Prism]

63. Serious pronoun gaming

So strange.

Edit: Ah, "she". That took forever.

[jefferson_dem]

25. This would have been a repug front-runner for the nomination.

[stopbush]

20. "God's laws" and "sin" "Walk of faith"

Asshole. He was getting his rocks off in BA.

[jefferson_dem]

21. "God's law is to protect us from ourselves..."

Sin... UGH!

Apologizing to "people of faith".

[demo dutch]

23. So when is he going to disclose "the bottom line"" as he mentioned

[FrenchieCat]

29. Argentinian lover!

Whoop, there it is! Bwawawawa!

[demo dutch]

40. sooo male or female?

[Hello_Kitty]

24. Now he's blathering about "God's laws"

Fundies have it made, don't they? They can do whatever the fuck they want and just cry "I have sinned! Forgive me!"

[sarah553807]

28. I FUCKING KNEW IT!

[demo dutch]

45. Everybody fucking knew it!!!!!!!

[demo dutch]

52. Ok you're having an affair, now shut up and disappear

[jefferson_dem]

Scumbag!

[babylonsister]

38. Ah, but with who? nt

[jefferson_dem]

He didn't mention the little boy's name.

[babylonsister]

[Kahuna]

[Dawgs]

Now he is soooo concerned about them.....after the fact!

[demo dutch]

36. affair with "someone" from Argentina (what male or female??)

[colinmom71]

42. Hmmm... Will we get treated to the pronoun game?

[Political Tiger]

48. Good question! n/t

[demo dutch]

54. Ah... "she"....

[madaboutharry]

37. What a jerk.

[Kahuna]

53. Dodged the "separation" question. I take his response as a, YES, we are.

[babylonsister]

59. Did he say that? I missed it if so. nt

[vaberella]

75. Yeah. He said he was resigning period. The other Governor thing was different. n/t

[babylonsister]

88. Not according to m$nbc; they have a caption saying 'I will tender

my resignation as chair of GOP Governors' Assoc.'

[stopbush]

47. GO FUCK YOURSELF, SANFORD!

Fucking holier-than-thou Xian asshole.

Resigning as head of the R Gov's Convention, but staying on as SC Gov!!!??

Big fucking whoop.

[FrenchieCat]

49. Is he resigning?

Cause he should.

So he can spend more time with his foreign lover! :rofl:

[vaberella]

62. That's what I heard. So he had a lover abroad---maybe he does have other kids.

He's crying now.

[11cents]

[stopbush]

100. Yuk! Good one!

[vaberella]

50. Did he just say he's going to quit? n/t

[babylonsister]

55. No, he resigned from republican governors assn. I think he was

head of that.

[vaberella]

69. Oh, too bad. But his career is ruined. OMG!!! He's crying. I feel bad. n/t

[babylonsister]

78. I have to give him credit for being so open about this, unlike,

say, Ensign. He's taking questions, and obviously feels miserable.

[alsame]

As head of GOP Governor Association. Apparently not as

Gov of SC.

[LiberalFighter]

82. Like who cares if he resigns from THAT association.

[alsame]

94. More turmoil within the GOP...fine with me! nt

[jefferson_dem]

56. No SIREN on sludge yet.

So here ya go.

[Kahuna]

57. Here come the tears! Right on schedule.

[SeaLyons]

60. Just another republican freak!!!!

Disgusting.

[stopbush]

64. He's been attending a Xian Bible study for 5 months with his wife

to deal with his infidelity.

HOW'D THAT WORK OUT FOR YA, GOV??

Maybe a PROFESSIONAL psychiatrist/marriage counselor would have been a better choice.

[Democrat 4 Ever]

76. Year long affair. MSNBC said he is resigning as governor

You can't make this shit up.

*Edit - now it is saying Chair of GOP Gov Assoc. thought I saw that he was resigning as Governor. Stay tuned.

[KatyaR]

65. Still not saying if it's a man or woman--

very telling . . . . ?

on edit--just said "she"

[demo dutch]

71. "she"

[alsame]

66. I still can't fathom who the hell sleeps with these Rethugs. They

all turn my stomach.

[Political Tiger]

72. Don't Cry For Me, Mark Sanford.... n/t

[stopbush]

73. "Incredibly earnest conversation" with his later paramour.

"God's law."

What an arrogant fuck he is.

[FrenchieCat]

74. Developed a "remarkable" friendship.

Ye-Ah! :rofl:

[Kahuna]

79. Code for her you know what is banging!

:wow:

[Cass]

77. Has he answered if he broke off the relationship with his girlfriend yet?

It's taking a long time to say yes or no.

[babylonsister]

83. He's 'committed to get his heart right', so no. nt

[vaberella]

99. He didn't break up with her. n/t

[vaberella]

80. Dear God. I feel like I'm watching a WifeTime ( LifeTime) movie for women. n/t

[demo dutch]

81. so.. they met 8 yrs ago, she's married with 2 children. What an idiot!

[stopbush]

84. Well, his political future is fucked. Literally.

Q: "Did you lie to your staff about hiking the trail?"

Well, he WAS hiking a trail of sorts and got caught up in a bush.

:)

[demo dutch]

87. Yep "toast"!

[Kahuna]

89. Scaborough is a must see tomorrow.

:evilgrin:

[vaberella]

I'm with you. n/t

[DrToast]

97. What's remarkable is that he tought he had a political future

What's with these people?

[grantcart]

86. Christmas in June lol

[Kahuna]

90. Indeed.

:)

[4lbs]

92. What a really bad two weeks it's been for the GOP (snark!)

Two of their leading possible candidates for 2012 go down in flames due to illicit affairs (with women these times) and have to resign their respective top spots in the GOP.

Ensign resigns his position as head of the Republican Policy Committee.

Sanford resigns his position as head of the Republican Governors Association.

At this rate, we'll be seeing Palin, Gingrich, and Cheney all duking it out for that 20% on the hard right.

[bluedeminredstate]

93. I've only caught part of this presser...

Has he said whether anyone knew where he was? Did someone from his staff know? Anyone? Were people in his office lying for him? Sorry so many questions but I'm curious if someone, anyone knew where he was!

:popcorn:

[demo dutch]

98. mentioned staff did not cover up his affair and they did not know

[Prism]

95. A new and interesting way of saying "I lied"

"I shrouded the trip"

I kind of like that.

"C'mon, guy. I didn't lie! I merely shrouded the fact I was at a strip club."

Must work this into as many conversations as possible.

[stopbush]

96. It's Republican Family Values time again!

"Clark, that's the gift that keeps on givin' the whole year long." - Cousin Eddie

[CitizenLeft]

101. another one bites the dust.

:rofl:

Will the GOP applaud him too?

Dumbasses. All of 'em.
