I was shocked, saddened, and disgusted once again to hear of South
Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford's admission that he is the latest
politician to cheat on his wife. Of course, there has been intense
media scrutiny on this situation over the last several days given that
his staff had no clue where he was. I suspected there was a problem
when his wife told the media that she was also unaware of his
whereabouts. That's just not normal. Then he was hiking the
Appalachian Trail. Then he came back and told the press that he had
changed his plans last minute and gone to Argentina. "I wanted to do
something exotic," Sanford told The State. My first gut reaction to
reading that was, "Uh huh, what's her name?"
