As we watch the love addled lame duck S.C. governor dig in his heels to keep his job, citing "
God's plan" that he stay put, I've been wondering how long it will be until the
Associated Press (aka the Sanford family psychoanalysis couch) holds a small group session for Mark "put the genie back in the bottle" Sanford with both his romantic interests: the one he has repeatedly attempted to split with but for whom "there are still feelings in the way" and
the wife of 20 years for whom he is
trying to bestir himself.
The participants in the group session might want to also invite that "trusted religious advisor" to join them -- the one who went to church and dinner with Sanford and his "soul mate," in New York this year. To round out the gathering, they could include other interested parties: Say,
Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer, or perhaps the
young unnamed suitor of Sra. Chapur who she loyally defended against hacking allegations. Of course, it would be wrong for them to invite the married couple's four school-age sons "Marshall, Landon, Bolton and Blake" to the therapy, but they could bring their
stellar report cards. (I personally think it might be
too much to include the women who were the "handful of instances" with whom Sanford had "physical contact" but did not "cross the line.") While they work all this out, consumer
surveys,
calls from within his party and the
S.C. Democratic Party are all demanding that the star-crossed governor resign.
Our New Approach to Comments
In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers –
a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around.
