1. What a cheated on Spouse is supposed to look and act like - South Carolina Governor (for now) Mark Sanford is a jag-weed. His wife didn’t stand by his side at his rambling press conference, nor is she hiding out in the Governor’s mansion. Ruth Marcus of the Washington Post points out: “What I admire most about Sanford’s response is that she has apparently concluded — correctly so — that the person who is humiliated by her husband’s affair is, in fact, her husband, not her.”
Agreed. And what really blows my mind about the Mark Sanford Argentinian disappearing act/affair/ fiasco/circus is this: “‘He was told in no uncertain terms not to see her,” she said in an interview with the Associated Press last week about her husband’s pleas for permission to visit his mistress.”
I’m sorry what? He asked his wife if he could go see his mistress? There’s so many levels of wrong with that I can’t even begin to process it. Only disagreement I have with Marcus’s view: “I admire her mature view of adultery as not a one-strike (or even three trips to Argentina) and-you’re-out transgression”
I’m not sure I agree. To me, he is and should be toast. To not just his wife, but to the people of South Carolina as well. Adultery isn’t a crime… but disappearing for a week, making insanely poor choices, and more or less being a crackpot nutcase mess isn’t a recipe for effective leadership. So hit the road Mark.

2. Meanwhile… Governor Sanford won’t shut his pie hole - He claims he “crossed the line” with other women, his affair with his mistress is a “Love Story” and he’s also trying to fall back in Love with his wife. This guy just sucks on so many levels. (From Hot Air)
3. Al Franken is a Senator - Yeah well, The Governor of California is Arnold Schwarzenegger. And it’s not like all 60 Democrats in the Senate will really ever all agree on anything.

4. Former McCain aide on Sarah Palin = “Whack Job” Care to elaborate? Well sure! - Extensive article breaks down the brand that is Sarah Palin. And guess what, it’s not real positive.
(From Vanity Fair)
5. Do Celebrities really die in Threes? - Ed, Farrah, Michael. But then Billy Mays… is he considered a true celebrity when compared with the other three? Or… as many have put it… was he such a good pitchman that he threw in “one more… absolutely FREE!” (From the Washington Post)
Dappered
Jenny Sanford is better than her Husband
