Republican presidential hopefuls are getting caught with their pants down faster than I can write about them. Last week it was Nevada Senator John Ensign (see here); this week it's the Governor of South Carolina, Mark Sanford (read about it here).
.
Of the two, Ensign was at least the smarter dirtbag - he only came forward once his mistress's husband started demanding beaucoup d'argent for his silence. Sanford "disappeared" to Buenos Aires for a week, for some reason thinking that no one would miss a governor for that amount of time.
.
Sanford did the usual Jimmy Swaggart "I have sinned!!" tearful confession today. Ho hum. He claims he spent the week in Argentina crying and telling his little Spanish hottie that the affair was over. My my, does it really take that long to say, "Hasta la vista, baby"?
.
Let's be clear about one thing - I'm not suggesting that Democratic politicians are any better. Bill had his "Monica", and John Edwards is particularly scummy for fooling around while his wife battles terminal cancer. But Republicans are the bigger hypocrites because they posture themselves as the "Family Values Party" and espouse their "Contract With America" bullsh*t. All the while boinking away.
.
So put away your hanky and dry those tears, Governor. You're only crying because your White House aspirations are now completely screwed.

Yeah Terry! Scumbags all of them. It makes me want to hurl when I listen to these lame press conferences.
amen, sister! and don't get me started on the phony apologies by Hollywood stars such as Mel Gibson. he had to hire a Public Image company to teach him how to act sorry?! what utter rubbish.
The Fark headline for Ensign's affair, replete with tag proclaiming him a hero, was "Republican Senator admits to extramarital affair WITH A WOMAN!"
I think the fact that a Republican's infidelity is considered less bad because it was, for a change, heterosexual in nature just about sums up the GOP's rights to the family values banner.
