Mark Sanford: Still Talking

Mark Sanford is back with another editorial (http://www.thestate.com/editorial-columns/story/869645.html, if you really care). This time he is coupling his third (or fourth, I forget) public apology with a story about how he has grown personally and a pledge that it will make him a better executive.

This blog will not feed his conceit by posting anything more than a link to that editorial. Mr. Sanford, a man once adored by many (including myself) for his ability to stick to fiscal values even in the face of massive public pressure, has shown his true colors as an egotistical attention whore. He made a mistake, and while it is good that he is making personal, private growth, he has no place sharing it with us. When he made the decision to stay on as Governor of South Carolina, it was with the understanding that this would not affect his ability to govern. Maybe the affair didn't, but the amount of time he takes talking about it clearly does. Cut him loose.
