If you didn't think Politics Daily could advance the Mark Sanford story one more inch, think again.
We have unearthed the customer reviews of Mark Sanford's book, "The Trust Committed to Me" from Amazon.com. Yes, that is the title of the book Sanford wrote in 2000, complete with a forward by Robert Novak and published by the Term Limits Foundation. Plans for another book, "Within Our Limits," were recently scrapped.
At first, reviewers of "The Trust Committed to Me" seemed to love Sanford's writing:
* "DFlores" says, "Let me just say that I enjoyed this book tremendously. I most appreciated the author's vivid descriptions of Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina. The sights, the sounds, the people and their customs, he captures them all."
* "Mahousu" says, "For all that, it's a relatively quick read, (but) this book still takes a while to get going. Sanford does start crossing lines early on, but it's not until the last chapter that he crosses the ultimate line."
And it goes downhill from there:
* "Jim LaRock" writes, "Governor Sanford writing about trust is like Jeffrey Dahmer writing a vegetarian cookbook."
Amazon also helpfully tells us that people who bought this book also bought "Breach of Trust," by Tom Coburn (now a Republican senator from Oklahoma), "Atlas Shrugged," and "Animal Farm."
And those with a Sanfordian dedication to thrift need not worry. "The Trust Committed to Me" can be yours, gently loved, for $3.98.
