Mark Sanford is a hypocrite and an adulterer, but those are not reasons for him to resign or be impeached. However, flaking out and leaving the country without providing for a succession of government is an impeachable offense. The people of South Carolina will have to decide whether they trust Sanford not to flake out again. Actually, the members of the legislature will have to decide that. It isn’t that he lied about an affair that is the real problem. People need to remember that.
It’s always interesting when right-wingers fall short of their own moralizing rhetoric, but the price for that is paid at the ballot box. The price for leaving your state without leadership should be higher.
