That is really a tough call. Although he spent 28 years on Capitol Hill (10 in the US House and 18 in the US Senate), Larry Craig’s name will be, forever, entwined with an infamous restroom in a Minneapolis Airport rest room. I, understand, that for a while, it was considered to be quite the tourist attraction after Senator Craig’s ‘wide stance’ in one of the bathroom’s stalls two years ago. The constant denials that he was gay, but then, pleading to a lesser charge, after his arrest, ‘hoping (the matter) would simply go away,” is delusional, at best.
Governor Mark Sanford’s public admission, earlier this summer, was the most rambling, incoherent public statement I had ever heard. He insists that he is a good Christian, loves his wife and children, but he also has a ’soul mate.’ Does that make any sense?
South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford has proven himself to be an embarrassment not only to his family, but more importantly, to his state and to our nation.
Twice in my lifetime, the extracurricular activities of my state’s governor (New York) has proven to be an embarrassment to us. The first time was in 1963 when Gov. Nelson Rockefeller divorced his wife of 31 years to marry ‘Happy’ Murphy. These actions cost Rockefeller the 1964 GOP presidential nomination. Infidelity reared its ugly head again when Rockefeller died, in 1979, when he was with his 25-year-old secretary. The scandalous circumstances of his death were widely reported. In March of 2008, Gov. Eliot Spitzer was implicated in a prostitution ring. He resigned within days of the public disclosure.
The actions of Gov. Sanford cannot be excused. They go beyond having an affair. He disappeared for days. He broke his bond with the people of South Carolina. His trust and his ability to effectively govern have been irreparably damaged. He simply must go.
His repeated apologies, and draping himself around his Christian faith and saying God will make him a better leader, do not fly with me. As a congressman in Washington, D.C., he shared a townhouse with other good “Christian evangelical” lawmakers, including Nevada Sen. John Ensign and former Mississippi Congressman Chip Pickering, who, since then, have all been implicated in extramarital affairs. Must be something in the drinking water, what do you think? Sanford has to go.
And, his abuse of taxpayers’ monies with expensive airplane trips. Where does the hypocrisy end with this man? Sanford has to go, not only for the sake of South Carolina, but for the sake of the nation.
And, to think he was considered to be a possible ‘dark horse’ candidate for the Republican presidential nomination in 2012!
I am counting down the days until he’s out.
In my opinion, Sanford is a bigger embarrassment for the Republicans, at leats, for now. I understand that the Republican conference of the state legislature had a pow-wow session, this wekend, to discuss Sanford’s fate. I sincerely hope they come to the right conclusion. Sanford has got to go.
