Gov. Sanford’s Disjointed, Emotional and Just Plain Bizarre Press Conference
Governor Mark Sanford of South Carolina had some explaining to do when he faced the press Wednesday afternoon. He had been absent from the state capitol in Columbia for several days and there was much confusion about where exactly he had been.
What followed was one of the most disjointed, emotional, bizarre confessions of infidelity you are ever likely to see.
It started innocently enough. Sanford began to wax lyrical about the Appalachian Trail and other “adventure trips” he had taken. He talked about the pressures of the “bubble” of being constantly in the public eye. He talked about the strains of the latest legislative session and how he needed a break.
Then he began to apologize. The list was long — wife, kids, friends, relatives, in-laws, and constituents. He asked forgiveness from his family, friends, and God.
And then we discovered that this wasn’t “the whole story.”
Mark Sanford had developed an eight year internet relationship with a woman from Argentina that turned into an extramarital affair in the last year.
“I developed a relationship with what started as a dear dear friend from Argentina,” Gov. Sanford said. “It began very innocently, as I suspect these things do, in just a casual e-mail back and forth. But here, recently, over this last year, developed into something much more than that. And as a consequence, I hurt her. I hurt you all, I hurt my wife. I hurt my boys. I hurt friends like Tom Davis. I hurt a lot of different folks.”
Sanford also announced that he was stepping down as chairman of the Republican Governors Association. And it is probable that his long shot hopes at securing the Republican nomination for president in 2012 also ended with his public confession.
His wife Jenny was nowhere to be seen. He didn’t answer a reporter’s query about whether he was separated but he did acknowledge that his wife had been aware of the relationship for about five months.
Sanford rambled quite a lot and was obviously under a terrible strain. But he tried to say something profound about moral choices and forgiveness. Self-serving in that context, perhaps, but striking to hear a politician discuss such weighty subjects so passionately. I found it refreshing in that regard, although the backdrop made much of it seem surreal at times.
Michelle Malkin speaks for a lot of conservatives I’m sure:
It’s the only fitting word for a man who abandons his wife and four sons on Father’s Day weekend to indulge his “overdrive” on an Argentinian fling.
Mark Sanford: Bastard.
If you missed Sanford’s rambling, surreal disaster of a press conference, consider yourself lucky.
He had a hell of a lot more passion and pathos for his mistress than his own wife. He referred wistfully to the “great friendship” and “that sparking thing” he had with the mistress for eight years — during which his wife was raising his four children.
What a complete doofus!
Where to begin as another politician who preaches one way and acts another is unmasked? There was nothing uplifting in Sanford’s press conference, rambling about “God’s law”, spirituality and forgiveness and offering nothing but the tired old I’m human and I make mistakes. Well duh!
We should thank the lady from Argentina for being so attractive that Sanford had to take off to South America on Father’s Day for some spiritual advice or the GOP would have ended up with another John Edwards.
Slink into the dark Governor Sanford because you are now the excuse the state run media needed to get socialized medicine and Iran off the front pages.
I am so so very HEARTILY sick of this Public Confessional viz Press Conference viz MSM.
Oh, the breast beating… Oh, the doey eyed supporting spouse, the tearul confession with the lump in the throat.
Go AWAY!!!
He needs to step down from the Governor’s office NOW. Is he really going to try to hang on after this surreal display?
Was he ‘on’ something when he did that press conference? It was like watching someone totally have a melt-down.
Man. Talk about airing dirty laundry.
YYYYYYYYUCKKKKKKKKKKKK
With each “moral” Republican totally screwing over their spouse (after all Newt, Rudy, Rush, McCain by themselves have eight divorces between them), it’s going to become prohibitively more difficult for the anti-gay marriage crowd to bleat about the “sanctity” of marriage.
Why do so many men in politics practice such self-defeating behavior? It’s just bizarro.
What a tool.
Any imbecile who has serious ambitions in politics knows that extra-marital affairs are a no-no. Especially for Republicans given their affiliation with “family values”.
This guy is too stupid for any position of real authority. Here’s a tip for wannabe politicians who feels they deserve a night of passion with a willing tart – pop to the nearest restroom, jerk yourself off, and amaze yourself with how clearly you start thinking afterwards. It’s not rocket science.
6. Erasmus,
LOL! I think it’s going to be more like, “HELL! WHY do you want to get married? Have you seen what marriage does to people?” If anything, these cheaters are poster childs for NOT getting married.
ROTFL
8. Tony R.,
That was hilarious and so true! I wonder why women in politics don’t get caught doing things like this? Are they just more sneaky?????
Listen here you hicks.
Democratic politicians are every bit as repugnant as Republican politicians. They’re just as vile, hypocritical, power hungry, merciless and inhuman as Repos are.
But here’s the rub.
Repos ruin your life. Repos LITERALLY kill your mother by denying her the best healthcare that she needs (almost every other civilized nation has a longer average lifespan and healthier citizens than we do), they deny your children the ability to get ahead in life (most civilized nations allow every intelligent kid to get the college education of their choosing at very little cost), they keep you unemployed or in minimum wage jobs where you;re nothing more than an animal who talks and who is ever-fearful of the boss and – by extension – every customer lest they complain to your boss).
The Republicans are in the regular and sole service of those who DO NOT suffer like you do. They are in the sole service of people who have nice new cars, can fly overseas at will and spend upwards of $40 a day on food alone (yes, per person).
Now here the thing, if you’re gonna say, “yeah, but we vote for them because they’re fighting the commies…” or some such ridiculous simian knee-jerk salute to the capitalism that’s the bane of 95% of American humanity, then we have nothing to talk about. In fact, you haven’t even read this far and are an idiot hardly more worthy of speech than a dog. But here’s a defense for your Republicanism that would make some sense -
The loudest and most prominent liberals/progressives/democrats/leftists are rich, snotty, repulsive people who seem to posses a puppet-like jerk of defense for every foreign value. They mock our religious tradition, our cultural tradition, our cherished beliefs and our morals. These loud ones have nothing to say about the sacred nature of a woman’s purity or a man’s self-control, fealty and devotion to his wife. They regard virginity before marriage as a fossil to be held up for ridicule and regard marriage itself as nothing more than a temporary arrangement.
I hear. Oh, and there are other matters too, like the fact of their thoughtless comments on abortion, their affirmative action that harms innocent white christian males as if they were born into some dermatological sin, their excitement for a-human morals relevant to “global warming”, “animal rights” and “the LGBT community”. But let’s be honest, these latter issues are nothing but the garishly painted sheets waved about by people with nothing else to do with their time. These stained sheets make for wonderful copy on FOX News every night and they signal as a rallying call to hermitized Hollywooded ones but they are no actual threat to anyone and are already riddled with bullet holes (gay support for Democrats dropped around 20 points in 4 years, Hummers are still totally legal and PETA offers us all a good laugh every so often). The sole issue here – and one with society-wide implications is that of sexuality and family. It may be worth having a baton shoved up your backside daily by the people before whom the Repos kowtow because, at the very least, the Repos are “good people”. They’re good husbands, good wives, good parents and good neighbors. Their children aren’t wanton, their wives came to the altar in sexual innocence and their husbands are gentle, devoted and loving. THAT’S why we support the Republicans. They may be better off than we are but we share the same values and they’re good folk who are fighting the good fight to bring this nation back around to its forgotten communal virtues.
Except that they blatantly are not.
The Republicans are guilty of everything the Democrats are guilty of when it comes to corruption, cronyism, sexual matters, marital matters, parental matters and every other moral vice. They wrangle their way out of every sin and crime that they’ll denounce you for, lock you up for and ruin your child’s life over. They enforce values that they don’t keep and NEVER INTEND to keep while getting rich at the boot of CEO hundred-millionaires.
The fact that you’ve yet to guillotine them en-masse surprises me sufficiently. The fact that you continue to VOTE for them and to DEFEND them WITH THEIR PAID PUNDITS VERY OWN TALKING POINTS(!) disgusts me practically to the point of no return. I’m beginning to feel quite like they do – that you are worthless, mind-less, vestigial apes with whom there’s no more crime in exploitation than there is in eating a steak.
Congrads hicks!
… it’s going to become prohibitively more difficult for the anti-gay marriage crowd to bleat about the “sanctity” of marriage.
I agree. All the ditzy hair-twirlers are now thinking, “Gads, thoz cwazy Republicans. Now I think two men really can be married! Two Bawney Fwanks do indeed mwake a fwamily. Yessiree (tee-heeeee).”
Make hay out of this — it’s good politics, and you might get one week out of it. But don’t get carried away. Almost nobody knew who Sanford was, and the July 4th weekend follows this one, meaning that nobody will be watching next Sunday’s morning newsbabbling, unless it’s to see Obama bowing to Iranian ambassadors.
Nevertheless the fool Sanford needs a kick upside the head.
Unless of course this Argentinian is incredibly hot … in which case the married male population will be thinking, “Right on, Sanford; I’m with you on that one ….”
Just kidding. (I think.)
Republicans get thrown to curb by the other Republicans, yet the Democrats continue to keep theirs in power. Sanford should be ashamed of himself. I think many politicians allow the power go to their heads. Granted, we all make mistakes, but this pill is a little hard to swallow…
Oh well, another pathetic fail.
At least he’s got a little hottie down in Argentina. Pictures?
I bet there are a lot of mid-life crisis husbands ready to blow the scene if they had the opportunity to cash in what’s left of their 401K. Who could blame them. A wife, four kids to raise in a fast falling republic, a political career becoming too much to handle. Always in the public eye.
No excusing him. Just drawing a picture. An I’m speaking from the position of being a wife with kids, too.
In a way, I get his desperation. The country is going to shit. People are too stupid to bather about it. Argentina has a great climate and carefree lifestyle. And hey, got a hot babe in the wing!
Unfortunately for the GOP — “family values” we have another casualty.
I give up.
Tony R, you do speak the truth…
..still think John Edwards holds the all-time record for being a serial, unprincipled a**hole when it comes to betraying a terminal spouse.
We’re talking Bob Beamon, Mexico City Olympics world-eclipsing broadjumping (sorry) record.
Now he tells me…
Popcorn time! This is what I call “Free Entertainment”: watching you gullible buffoons suffer one cognitive-dissonance stroke after another, squirming in full public view like Michelle Malkin and the rest. And the funniest thing of all is that YOU IDIOTS WILL NEVER LEARN. That means the comedy show will continue. Thank you, morons!
Politician + extramarital affair + press conference/confessional = projectile vomiting. Will somebody please pass me a barf bag?
mnuez,
FYI, nobody got any further than “Repos LITERALLY kill your mother …”
You wasted about 720 words after that effectively convincing no one of anything.
Argument by List is a puerile tactic, the sign of an inferior mind. Seriously, just settle down and try to grow up. Throwing everything bad in the world into one bin and calling it Republican, conservative, or Christian is just plain dumb. It’s what stupid people do in a usually lame attempt to bypass the long, hard, timely process of having a clue.
At least try to understand the difference between a Republican, a conservative, a Christian, and people who disagree with you politically.
They’re not all synonymous.
18. Evolved,
I’m glad you have ‘evolved’ to grown-up status.
My, my. I’m beginning to think all men in politics are jerks.
Gary Hart sez: “Now he tells me …”
Just so you know: That made me laugh out loud!
Evolved. Please expound on “you idiots will never learn.”
Sanford is dead politically. End of story. What’s to learn?
(1) See the spring issue of ACADEMIC QUESTIONS, which has an interview with David Popenoe, a sociologist with a specialty in marriage. (He has been happily married for fifty years.)
(2) Why the outrage at the sexual behavior of some politicans – except for Representative Barney Frank, whose boyfriend ran a procurement service for male prostitutes from their home?
#11 mnuez: Which hicks are you talking to? The conservative ones or the liberal ones? Or the socialist ones? Or the Islamic terrorist hicks? The communist hicks? The ivy league hicks? The religious hicks? The atheist hicks? The gay hicks? The straight hicks?
Hicks come in all colors, flavors and sizes. You need to be more specific and let them know exactly which of them you hate so vehemently.
All male politicians need to repeat this over and over: “I did not have sex with that woman!”
I think conservative writers are as bad the MSM for criticizing a man and his d**k
mnuez,
That was funny. Don’t know if you were trying to be or not. So, you hate everyone…must be a very lonely life. Hicks? Project much?
Just as well to clean house now of as many losers/weaklings as possible.
What is incredibly sad about his confession is that you can tell he is/was in love with the other woman. It ISN’T completely about sex if you’ve been having private conversations with the other person for 8 years. So, it makes it much harder to reconcile with the spouse when it isn’t JUST ABOUT SEX. I don’t see how this marriage could be fixed. So sad.
It sure is refreshing to see that none of the poster in this thread have ever made a poor choice! Whew! I bask in the perfection I observe herein.
Aur – Y’caught me. Sorta. I actually wrote this on a different page actually FOR a bunch of hicks and subsequently mourned the fact that none of them would actually be able to read it. Cradling my literary fanged sneer I carried it over to these waters where the hicks are fewer but the very “Repos” against whom I’m railing (rather than the bible-thumpers who vote them in) make up the difference. I certainly expected no kinder treatment at the hands of the very scoundrels whose heads I’m shouting for but I knew that at least I’d be read. Never underestimate a man’s tenderness for his creations.
I believe, nonetheless, that my point stands. The volk I attempt comically to shake from their stupor every so often never quite seem to rouse to any sentience beyond that of a severely retarded pre-pubescent but my point regarding their well-being and the steel-wool that shreds their eyelids remain true nonetheless and will hopefully be read some day by some body and appreciated for its polemical pleasures if nothing else.
mnuez
“poster” should read “posters.” Obviously, I’m not one of the perfect ones in here.
Is there a political category for the Darwin award? Ordering that many trophies will stimulate the economy.
I still think that first prize for the lamest excuse was the “I’m a gay American” defense, but this isn’t far behind.
On the other end of the spectrum, Spitzer gets kudos for doing the right thing and leaving.
What these guys need to understand is that it’s not all about them. It’s about whether or not you can remain effective. When you can’t, you just go. Doesn’t matter who thinks it’s a big deal.
Moogie: You are spot on. I can honestly say that I am NOT perfect and never will be.
mnuez,
That you, Kirk Lazarus?
Yes, it is sad. I agree.
But I also know at some point in that last 8 years he had to have made a decision. And he made a decision while he had apparently, a loving, understanding wife (did you read her statement?). And, between them they had four sons, maybe three were born in that period of time.
From what I understand, he continued a relationship he knew should have ended. He also continued in a career knowing he would eventually expose himself and his family to a painful and disaster fall those concerned don’t recover from.
OK, so he met the love of his life. Really? Or was she just the distraction he needed to keep his passion for something when life’s responsibilities became overwhelming. I wonder if his “love” will endure. Maybe so. Maybe his Argentine love fulfill the man. Maybe his “Maria” is a lovely woman. It happens that way sometimes.
It’s all understandable and I get it. But, the hurt and the damage is fully from his inability to stand and be what he should have been when it counted.
His press conference did not give the impression he is a strong man. He looked and sounded sad and confused. Not someone who is confident that he has followed his heart with conviction. But apparently he is willing to go through that embarrassment to get, in the end, to live with the love of his life. Maybe he will be so fortunate to have that happen. But I doubt that is what he will find in the end.
23. kasper:
Evolved. Please expound on “you idiots will never learn.”
Sanford is dead politically. End of story. What’s to learn?
———————————
Perhaps I can help. What do you want to bet that having touched the hot stove of preaching to Americans about family values and gotten burned, Republicans will touch that hot stove again? and again and again and again?
I’m sick of Republican (mostly male) leaders’ sour-faced lectures on family values and the decline of civilization due to pair-bonding gays and women who can’t keep their legs shut. Despite this, I vote Republican and I try to persuade my friends to do likewise because (gulp) Democrats are liars.
Maybe we should shut our mouths about consenting adults and leave those issues to families and churches? If not, let’s enforce that anti-adultery law in South Carolina (read all about it on today’s recommended DailyKos diaries with an extra spoonful of gloaty goodness) and outlaw divorce and birth control like the good old days.
Sanford should be impeached. It’s one thing to have an affair, it’s another to disappear without telling anyone your whereabouts and leaving no one in charge, just to be with your mistress. The people of South Carolina shouldn’t stand for that sort of neglect of duty.
Oh, and the nastiest thing about the Sanford mess is that he really was about the only one who had the whole stimulus crapola right and who was willing to pushback. Now whatever pushback on the Obama/Democrat dictatorship he accomplished is null and void as of today.
We got nothin’ and nobody out there with a brain.
To give Sanford a tiny bit of credit, at least he didn’t trot his wife out to the press conference. Although after reading a statement from her I don’t think he could have dragged her out there.
As much fun as this story is, the only real end result of all of this is Sanford won’t be runing for president in 2012. all in all, a good thing for Republicans.
Oh, why did Fox keep showing a (D) after his name? Is Fox getting that lazy about lying?
Arhooley, I don’t get why it is considered preachy for someone to point to the fact that a solid family foundation is something to strive for, and pretty essential for children to grow into responsible productive adults.
When you hear of someone who has appeared to be living that life suddenly is not or has not been living that life, it’s disappointing. But it doesn’t make that fact less true.
No marriage is perfect. No relationship is perfect. No childhood is perfect. Nothing is. 40% of children are born out of wedlock in this country. Very often these children do not thrive because they don’t grow up in a stable home environment.
By the way. Evolved was just emoting and gloating like leftists usually do. In other words, “It’s OK for us, but not for you, because there are no standards for us to live up to. We’ll vote our guys in not matter what, because that’s the way we do things.”
Right Evolved?
You right wing conservatives better count your blessings that Sanford is a Democrat. It’s not like Republicans don’t do this stuff, too, you know.
How come mnuez doesn’t identify which Republican politician forced him to be retarded? Maybe the question answers itself . . .
I’m confused. Sanford says he and his wife have been trying to “work things out” for the past 5 months, and he doesn’t think they are “separated” after returning from a 5-day tryst with a “dear, dear, friend”?
I can’t help but wonder if he made the abrupt decision to fly down to Buenos Aires to try to re-light the “spark”, and when that fizzled, decided to patch things up with the wife?
Best possible scenario: After realizing what a self-centered and selfish baster he really is, neither woman wants him.
The polarization of America is evident in the gleefulness of the fall of another. Since when have other American’s become our enemies?
18.Evolved
It’s good to know you are “evolved”, but I have to wonder–”from what?”
In a 5 line post, you use the namecalling tactic five times.
One of the major problems we still have today, no matter what Mark Sanford did last week, is that we have an ignorant and arrogant fraud POTUS destroying this country. And that’s not namecalling. That’s solid information.
You see, as of yesterday afternoon, even Sanford’s closest buds were done carrying water for him. But we are all going to continue, against our wills, with the drowning brought on us by obama.
All he said was-
“I love the curve of your A$$.”
John Edwards said-
“Will you have my baby?”
Democrats always put more ‘zing’ into it.
Our journalist are a bit more clement with him
http://blogs.lexpress.fr/nycoste/2009/06/le-gouverneur-en-son-labyrinth.php
Why can’t these guys keep their zippers closed? Are their egos so big they really think they won’t get caught? Do they not give a crap about their “loved ones” and how what they are doing will affect others? No thought of the example they are setting for their kids, no thought of shaming the family? Is it all about their own gonads? This is a window into a person’s soul, and none of them is fit to be President. Lately it has been GOPers, but it cuts across both parties. It only seems worse when it is the GOP because Democrats have no moral bearings, so when they stray it is not unexpected. This guy is a great conservative who turned out to be no better morally than Bill Clinton. Mitt Romney is looking pretty good right now.
the party of morality once again shows what a miserable collection of hypocrites they really are. The list is getting incredibly long.
The reality is that many men and women get tempted into illegal, exciting relationships because religion is just a farce and Nature rules. The human code is the real law. Marriage is a convention. People behave as just what they are: animals. Just some more civilized than others.
Mnuez,
Steven Weber called.
He wants his thesaurus back.
What a bad boy, a nasty boy, maybe even a nasty naughty boy.
He was seperated, all he had to do was be honest about it. He wasn’t hiding anything from his wife, his coverup was the mistake that cost him… pretty dumb.
The DNC has been tracking his every move since he embarassed Chairman O with his rejection of porkulus funds. Anybody with a dozen brain cells could tell you he would get caught. They didn’t uncover this… but they would have eventually.
And on Fathers’ Day Sunday, when he’s got 4 young boys- hellooo!
I for one am glad nobody will be talking about a presidential run for the guy, I’ve seen enough of his judgement to know we’d be much better off with someone else.
He was never going to beat Palin, Gingrich or Romney anyway.
I hope it was worth it, Gov… I pray for your family.
@43 – Sheesh – Not sure if you’re trying to make a joke or not, Sanford is a Republican.
@38 – arhooly and @51 tom – I wouldn’t say that the Republican party is the party of morality. I would say that the people who tend to vote Republican tend to have a more religious moral code then those who vote Democrat. I don’t understand the argument that because a member of the party does something that doesn’t measure up to that code that the code itself is the problem. This is a specious argument at best. We do not believe that we are perfect, or better then others, because we have a moral code of ethics, and we realize that many will fall short, that is the human condition.
The more important aspect of the situation is not so much that one man fell short, but the reaction of the institution to the man. Republican’s tend to force those types from their office and their party. Democrats tend to circle their wagons and give them promotions. Can any lib out there tell me what it takes for a Democrat, the party of no morals, to be banned from the party? I’m guessing that adultery isn’t it, but maybe denying global warming would, I’m not sure.
One point that needs clearing up is the part where Sanford’s office kept saying he was “On the Appalachian Trail”. Some say the office was lying, but I tend to give them the benefit of the doubt.
Perhaps a staffer misheard him when Mr. Sanford really said “I’m getting some Argentinian tail”.
This is a pretty lame joke, but so is this whole story.
I figure the story will be more or less finished by next Monday. Of course at the rate Republicans are having sex scandals these days we might have a new person to laugh at by the end of next week.
Forget all the BS he rambled about, what honest hard working man or woman can take a week off without telling anyone, not calling in to report to his/her employer, then turn up a week later and expect to keep their jobs? We’d be fired in a heart beat, the people of South Carolina should ask for his resignation just as fast. He’s a joke.
Events like these, with Republicans at the center, attempt to take the spotlight off whatever current Democratic foible is going on. i.e. Obama’s mealy mouthed juvenile dithering over Iran.
rocketeer and kasper,
I agree on many points. Let’s end government initiatives that undercut the family, such as welfare programs that reward fatherlessness. Let’s get out of the way so families can flourish and endure.
But don’t kid yourselves that social conservatives don’t preach. They’re as preachy as Democrats. No one can stand sanctimony whether on the left or the right.
Absolutely disgusting! There is too much at stake for this country for our time to be taken up with listening to the kind of drivel these womanizing men put forth. If they can’t think of their families, can’t they at least think of the oaths they took when they took office?? If there are any more roaming Republicans, just come out with it, resign and get out of the way. There are plenty of people out there with the best interests of our country at heart. Sanford and Ensign both should resign and just fade away. We don’t need the distraction.
Wow. “Bizarre” was precisely the word I was thinking yesterday, too.. Only it was with respect to McClatchy advertising they’d be running a slew of his emails in their print edition today..
Hellooo, TMZ. :shakes head:
56. that’s precisely the problem. it’s YOUR moral code that we are all supposed to live by.
so when they clowns fall from grace… oh it’s so sweet… nothing more enjoyable than a the moral right being exposed for the crock they are. it’s a pity they use their “morality” to rally votes to their cause. but lemmings are lemmings…..
Gee, I don’t know. I think Sanford’s wife looks kinda MILFy. But then again, I haven’t been sleeping with her for 20 years. I’ve noticed about a million posts from women, obviously, that basically break down to “I don’t get it…I just don’t get it.” That’s because women will never understand men’s sexuality. The desire for variety is hard wired into us, ladies, and you’ll never understand the struggle we go through to remain faithful. Some of us do and some of us don’t. That’s just the way it is and the way it always will be.
56. rocketeer: . . . “Sheesh – Not sure if you’re trying to make a joke or not, Sanford is a Republican.”
No he’s not a Republican. Fox News said he was a Democrat. Said so right on the screen. So don’t come at me with your libtard shenanigans. Stay in your mom’s basement and eat Cheetos. LOL! Fox News is the only fair and balanced medium existing. Not like the MSM loony tunes who don’t get anything right ever. Maybe you should read a book sometime or maybe try learning some facts that are REAL. Get it, sport? Can you hear me, or is Olberman too loud in your ears? Tell me that, chum. You keep your DemocRAT cheaters like Sanford on your side where they belong.
“The desire for variety is hard wired into us, ladies, and you’ll never understand the struggle we go through to remain faithful.”
Oh yes we do, particularly on a morning when we walk into the bathroom that smells like a rino died-where darling hubby has forgotten to put the lid down (again), as we see you in your saggy shorts with the beer gut hanging over the wasteband acratching your hairy butt……we peer longingly outside to the tanned, toned, and sleek Argentinan pool boy.
Please note that the lady in question was once married….and that while Sanford was certainly no Argentinian pool boy, he apparently had more moxie between the sheets then hubby number 1.
We understand all too well.
Give the guy a break. It’s not your average joe that flies all the way to Argentina for some nookie. I call it true love. Look at it this way, the French wouldn’t be upset, why should you be?
… we peer longingly outside to the tanned, toned, and sleek Argentinan pool boy.
No you don’t. Your primary concern is not being alone. Once that is secured, you move on to complaining that your husband, your community, and your society have not provided you with everything you desire. After all, when one looks first to others for everything when not everything can be delivered, one lives in a perpetual state of disillusionment with said others.
Just grab a beer and watch the ballgame. You’ll find it’s far more effective at alleviating unnecessary disillusionment than pretending the average woman is as willing to play the field as much as the average man.
You act like men don’t know any women — or sleep with any of them.
Republicans, Democrats, men in general, it makes no difference, its in the genes. As we used to say when I was in the Army, a stiff **** has no conscience.
Reality bites, doesn’t it folks.
Your primary concern is not being alone
Sorry dude….I know plenty of women smothering under the weight of kids, husband, family job demands who would give anything for some alone time.
ANYTHING-even take a pass on the Argentinian pool boy.
Sorry that you haven’t been able to satisfy your wife. Must suck to be a failure eh?
… I know plenty of women smothering under the weight of kids, husband, family job demands who would give anything for some alone time.
Thus their primary concern has been met. I also said they then set about complaining and suffering under disillusionment when others fail to provide them with everything they want (including, apparently, the desire to comment without challenge), or as you put it, ‘smothering’.
And yes, of course anytime someone is even mildly critical of women in any way, they must be misogynist or have sexual problems with their wife. Yessirree.
Grow up, honey. Most of the people who comment here who are not trolls are well-adjusted adults. Leave that sort of nonsense for Facebook or MySpace or the ABC News Web site.
Don’t try to be tough. It’s not in your DNA.
Being mouthy, on the other hand ….
Areola . . . You don’t think very highly of women. Maybe instead of telling other people what they think, you should spend a little more time conjutatin’ on your own. You might not sound like such a pencil-dick putz.
Can I get an amen ladies?
Governor Sanford is an embarrassment to himself, to his wife, to his lover, to his kids, to his parents, to his in-laws, to his staff, to his political contributors, to his political party, to the citizens of South Carolina, and to the citizens of the United States.
The legislature should impeach him on grounds he violated SC’s law against adultery, was absent from work without notice, lied to his staff, took a state car on personal business, and used state funds for visiting his illegal lover in a foreign country.
And to watch him try to use the “God” card to try to bail himself out of hot water was embarrassing to all persons of “faith”.
What a pious jerk.
