Mark Sanford

I know that the Mark Sanford issue has swirled for a week but I've stayed away from it to see what the reaction would be to his press conference. Oh, where to begin?
I'm aware that people do make mistakes & that forgiveness is divine, let he who is without sin...blah, blah, blah. The problem is that Mark Sanford was the one who's thrown the most stones in the past at others so it's about time he got some thrown back at him.
Let us not forget that when he was a congressman during the '90s, he was one of the main proponents for the impeachment of Bill Clinton for cheating on his wife. When Larry Craig was busted for trying to make a pass at a man in a bathroom stall, it was Mark Sanford who went on television & said that Craig couldn't govern any more & that he would resign. Now, the tables have turned & it is Mark Sanford who finds himself in the infidelity spotlight. Forgive me if I find this extremely humorous.
It doesn't help that even after the press conference, he still won't shut up. Three days later, he gives an interview to the associated press professing that he's found his soul mate & it's not his wife but he'd like to get back with his wife & make it work. Bet the Mrs loved to hear THAT little nugget of information put out to the media. I'm sure the public humiliation has made his wife want to reconsider taking back the man who skipped out on his security detail & his kids on Fathers Day weekend so that he could play house with his soul mate in Argentina; I mean, so he could go hiking on the Appalachian Trail.
If Mark Sanford had any decency left, he should just put out a press release saying that he's working on getting back together with his wife & for the press to please respect his family's privacy during this very trying time. He should not be giving interviews saying how much he wants to be with his mistress & that it's forbidden love. Do the right thing Gov. Sanford, please & just resign already.
