I think maybe the best thing Mark Sanford could have done was have an affair. Because that has deflected the focus from why he should be be forced to resign.
So, he had an affair. Woop de doo. Breaking news: people, especially politicians, have affairs. That's not special. But what people don't do, at least if they expect to keep their jobs, especially when that job is being the governor of a state, is disappear without a trace for five days without notice.
I don't care if he was having an affair or actually hiking the Appalachian Trail. The dereliction of duty aspect of his little jaunt is a firing offense, and it boggles my mind that he is still in office. The affair, the deceipt, and the abuse of taxpayer money to fund the deceitful affair are all gravy.
