At least this time it was a woman, so score one for the Rep Hets.

Brazil? Wasn't Sanford Argentina?

And he's not really a legislator, is he? Just a deputy assistant attorney general.

It's really not all that shocking story for the person, more just for the place and details. Graveyard, stripper, sex toys, Viagra. It's like the worst game of Clue ever.

Is this any worse than Barney Frank f*cking Moses (not the biblical figure) from the Fannie Mae board and then saying how great fannie mae was and how they shouldn't be investigated? Then Barney receiving 10's of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions.

And here's the kicker...these people, along with liberals on this site, think the GOP was the reason behind the mtg crisis.

Looks like the article has some of their facts wrong then:

My error, sorta. He used official trips to Brazil as an excuse to hop over to Argentina and see her.

Jophed,

I would think you people would condone Sanfords actions. You backed Clinton when he lied about his marital infidelity. You used the excuse that as long as it didn't affect his job performance it shouldn't matter. You also didn't mind that it was an young intern he was doing this with.

Disappearing for a week to a foreign country without letting your administration know where you are, what you're doing, lying to state officials about your location and failing to leave any delegation of authority in the event of an emergency is, in fact, the definition of something affecting your job performance.

How about lying to judges and the american people in an effort to cover your indiscretions?

The question is if his lying actually matters when they are asking questions that aren't relevant to his job performance or are anyone else's business.

Jophed,

Must be nice to live a life where double standards are the norm; I wouldn't know.

Just so I get this straight you're actually saying cheating on your wife, lying to a grand jury, having your law license suspended, and then lying to the american people about what happened, then having to apologize to everyone once you've been found out wouldn't affect someones job performance. Right...

The judicial process certainly would. The cheating in and of itself doesn't affect job performance.

We should be fair to the guy in the article, however. I mean, he was on his lunch break; it's not like he was working at the time. I believe it's not fair that he was fired, but hey, not my office, not my rules.

Edit: In the same way, Sanford wouldn't be affected if he had an affair in general. But the particulars made it a terrible decision, for all the reasons given before. The affair DID directly affect his performance.

No, the trial did. Getting blowjobs did not.

And it's an ordeal now to get sucked off? Man, I realize that Tennessee is bad at football, but to think the co-eds are bad are blowjobs... well, that sucks!

Locked,

Do you even remember what the trial was about?

And it should be a big deal when a politician cheats on his spouse. If he'll cheat on her he'll cheat on anything.

What Locke said. What affected the nation was the politically motivated perjury trial that came out of the completely failed Whitewater investigation. Sadly, it didn't work for the GOP with Clinton receiving wide support and leaving office with a phenomenal 66% approval rating.

Paula Jones sued him for sexual harassment, and during the trial he said he didn't have a sexual relationship with Monica Lewinsky. Later Lewinsky came forward and said she blew him, thus netting him on perjury that, get this, had nothing to do with his job performance. Not bad as I was like 13 while these were going on.

Your opinion is not backed up by fact. Even if it increases the likelihood (and I don't think you have evidence of that), it will not MAKE the person "cheat on anything."

Jophed,

And you don't think the attacks against Sanford are politically motivated?

As a matter of fact I'd say Clintons lies directly affected the entire nation; whereas Sanfords only affect SC.

I suppose so. His approval rating shot up during the trial.

I know you're kind of young so you probably think bosses sleeping with secretaries and interns is the "cool" thing to do but let me assure you that if any ceo of any corporation had done what slick willy did he would have been fired on the spot.

It was more than simply lying about a bj. It was about the leader of this country lying his as* off to save his own skin. He didn't care who he lied to or what he was lying about. A person of that kind of character should have been immediately removed from office. But like so many Democrat politicians he'd rather die than admit he did something wrong and step down.

Where did he say that? He simply agreed getting blowjobs did not affect Clinton's performance at his job. He never even had to leave the office! Sanford was wildly irresponsible with his job handling while getting some.
