South Carolina governor Mark Sanford stood behind his plastic Jesus, claiming he was like King David, appointed by God.
The governor, who talked about "moral absolutes" and God's law during his revealing, yet rambling news conference Wednesday, said King David "fell mightily, fell in very, very significant ways, but then picked up the pieces and built from there."
His out of office trysts and his constant confessional on TV over the last few days only seems to worsen his plight.
Sanford has said he would pay back an undisclosed amount for the nine-day trip to Brazil and Argentina for which taxpayers paid $12,000 last year. That includes $8,687 for Sanford's plane ticket, and $453 in lodging.
A spokeswoman for the Commerce Department said Friday that initially plans were made to only visit Brazil, but Sanford asked for extra meetings in Argentina. Gee, I wonder why.
Sanford, who also admitted meeting his lover more times than he had previously claimed, told The Associated Press in emotional interviews that he “crossed lines” with a handful of other women during 20 years of marriage, I wonder what he means by that?
But he said he never went as far as he did with Maria Belen Chapur, the woman at the center of the scandal that has derailed his once-promising political future.
Even with the latest revelations, Sanford maintains he is fit to govern and has no plans to resign.
And he insisted his relationship with Chapur, whom he met at an open-air dance spot in Uruguay eight years ago, was more than just sex.
Maybe so, but the rest of us don't need to hear the gory details, thanks.
South Carolina voters need to decide whether or not to throw this self-righteous sack under the bus.
Another hypocritical, right wing fascist nut, exposed like the business end of a sausage grinder. Pretty.
