I don't want to hear you talk about Republican hypocrisy, Mak. JFK cheated on his wife with a mistress he shared with a mob boss; he's a national icon. Teddy Kennedy cheated on his wife and drunkenly drove off a bridge before fleeing to the hotel to construct an alibi, leaving Mary Jo to drown; he spoke at last year's Democratic convention as a hero. Bill Clinton cheated on his wife, sexually harassed subordinates, obstructed justice, perjured himself and suborned perjury, was credibly accused of rape, used the IRS and FBI to intimidate women who blew the whistle on his harassment; he's still a hero in the Democrat party.

When Republicans are caught in sex scandals, they usually resign. When they don't, they're usually defeated by Republican voters. When Democrats are caught in sex scandals, we're treated to a chorus on how sex doesn't matter, and the only difference is that Democrats don't get tarred with hypocrisy because Democrats don't have any morals to tread upon. I wouldn't be too proud of that fact while you're smearing Mark Sanford. The man is scum, to be sure, but that makes him scum--not the party he belongs to or the values that he promotes. To insinuate otherwise shows just how ridiculously unhinged you are.

And really: shame on you for making political hay out this. Do Mrs. Sanford and her children really need to be constantly mocked and reminded of this just so you can feel a little better about yourself, just so this can distract from the hole that your president is driving the nation into? What kind of person exploits the grief and pain of a betrayed woman for political gain? Think about that while you're sneering down your nose at Sanford.
