Are the partisan glasses glued to your head or something?
You don't have to be a partisan to know what's going on when a guy leaves his wife and kids to vacation alone in a foreign party town and his wife agreed in advance to cover for him. That's just human nature. The British call it a "dirty weekend." What do you suppose he was doing in Buenos Aires, alone? Going to the Opera? What do you think guys do when they go to New Orleans, Amsterdam, or Las Vegas without their wives?
Honestly, if we have to have a Republican President, I prefer Sanford to some of the alternatives. Preferred.
I really am baffled by the whole thing. At this point, I am only curious. If nothing illegal happened, more power to him.
When I first heard the Appalachian Trail trip was a ruse, and that he had gone to a foreign country, I thought for sure it was a case of a Governor working on a very secretive deal to bring a company or business to his state. Sometimes those trips cannot be telegraphed because the companies involved get too skittish.
But since his staff didn't know and his family didn't know...well..."baffled" is my only reaction. I sure hope, though, that this doesn't prompt another round of "South Carolina is so gay" advertising.
