Nation Poll

Should South Carolina governor Mark Sanford resign?

  1. It seerms that D's who "get caught" in this area resign...but R's just seem to think they are somehow "immune"...so much for the party of "personal responsibility". Every day, the hypocrisy just gushes from the GOP; the few decent ones are never heard from, just the slugs who carry on as if it will all be OK if they show some fake contrition. Miserable miscreants.

  2. John Edwards (D), another Carolinian, gives Sanford a pretty good run for the money in the wild adultery sweepstakes, particularly when offering a "take care of you for life" deal to his campaign aide Andrew Young in exchange for publicly claiming to be the father of the L.A. video director's baby ... which lie Young did indeed perform just before the Iowa caucases & which he's now retracting in a "book" soon to appear from the ever obliging hack house, St. Martin's Press (entirely owned by those great lovers of literature, the German conglom von Holtzbrinck). Either Edwards didn't pay up as promised, or Young is looking to cash in twice.

    Let's hear it for Ars Gratia Artis (D or R).
