They're still digging up mass graves in Spain from the days when these pricks were in charge.

Please pardon my lapse in judgment, y'all. That was an alcohol-fueled knee-jerk reaction on my part. What got my dander up when I read her words is that if she's been running Mark Sanford's campaigns she's been complicit in selling snake oil. On reflection that was pretty nasty of me.

I mean, come on, have their brains really stopped functioning by that point and they're just floating on the intoxication of lust? Is it the ultimate in compartmentalization? Hey, I am the Governor of South Carolina and I can wield power the way I see fit and still send salacious emails to my hot South American mistress.

Her statement was a little overwrought for my taste, but, based on what little we know, it doesn't seem that she's done anything to justify verbal assaults. Granted, she is probably not a proponent of same-sex marriage, but I'm not sure that we gain respect for gay marriage by sneering at straight people whose marriages fail. Your remark seemed to lack your usual deft touch, Alex. Yeah, I didn’t get the rationale for busting on Jenny either.

I figured I was willing to stay in the marriage because of two things: 1) the children and 2) the marriage itself, the most sacred vow in public that I felt I had ever taken, superseding even my oath as I was sworn in as an attorney. Someone once told me that the greatest gift a man can give his children is to love his wife, and this still rings hard and true with me. Again, you castigate Jenny, you are throwing rocks at more women than you know. Alex, you castigate Jenny, you are flinging it at me.

I feel sorry for him, to some extent. He's fallen in love, it seems, and is acting in a way that is consistent with his political persona--that is, a sort of romantic idealist of the right. What he doesn't seem to realize is that the opportunity to fall in love is all around us and that, if you are married, you're supposed to walk away. You can't always follow your feelings anymore than, in politics, you can always stick to your ideals.
