I can't think of a single reason.

After all, like David, Mark Sanford was chosen by God to lead his people. Like David, he had dozens of concubines and wives. Like David, and John Ashcroft, too, he was anointed with oil. Like Solomon, Mark Sanford rejected all worldly goods offered him by God and asked for wisdom instead.

The worst example of religious political hypocrisy I've ever seen--and I've seen plenty. On a side note, it appears that Maria's job and its connection to South Carolina's business interests, however distant, reminds me nothing so much as Roy Blunt Jr destroying HIS marriage by becoming lovers with a TOBACCO LOBBYIST.

This tobacco lobbyist is his wife today. And yet the incredibly red 7th Congressional District of Missouri keeps voting this hypocrite back into office.

Those Republican family values, and the pretzel logic that goes with them. Pure comedy GOLD, baby!

When Eliot Spitzer was caught hiring hookers, I just shrugged. Oh, well, I guess he's not gonna run for President after all.

When I discussed it with my buddy, he said in no uncertain terms that Spitzer would resign. I vehemently disagreed. Why should he resign, when every Republican caught with his pants down in the last ten years has apologized, teared up, wet down a dozen microphones in front of him, and continued serving his term of office?

Why is it that the Democrats are the only ones who are hounded out of office in shame? While the hypocritical Republicans remain in office, thwarting the progressive agenda endlessly?

Of course, my buddy turned out to be right in his prediction, no matter how pissed off the double standard made me...

Granted, there were some extenuating circumstances in the Spitzer affair. He should have been investigating the call girl organization instead of patronizing it. He was an attorney general and was caught breaking the law.

Still, it seems like it's a one-way street when it comes to sex and politics. It's ALWAYS okay if you're a Republican, and I'm goddamned fucking sick and tired of that shit.

Anytime I get a cheap laugh from a self-righteous hypocritical Republican, it's one of the best laughs in life! Hallelujah!

And Jesus is up there in Heaven right now, laughing with me.

And maybe they will. Who knows? Kim Jong Il has certainly made current events interesting.

But he knows better than anyone else that a nuke is only a defensive weapon. It's a THREAT. You SAY you're going to use it when you feel threatened. You HAVE it when you feel threatened. But you only use it in self-defense, unless Kim Jong Il has gone completely around the bend and decided, like "Papa" Monzano in Kurt Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle, "Now I will destroy the world"--right before he committed suicide.

Something tells me the guys in the big hats with all the stars on their lapels are going to stop the Dear Leader before he goes that far. Something tells me that the Cult of Kim isn't so deeply buried in the psyche of North Korea that they're willing to go into the Great Void alongside Kim. Just a little bird.
