"In the meantime please sleep soundly knowing that despite the best efforts of my head my heart cries out for you, your voice, your body, the touch of your lips, the touch of your finger tips and an even deeper connection to your soul."
Gov. Mark Sanford, e mail to Argentinian lover

I wonder if he's written such sweet words to his wife?

If the fundies want to make a marquee defense of the sanctity of marriage between a man & a woman, they can do so in South Carolina, which has a law against adultery & fornication on the books & a governor who just confessed to cheating on his wife. The problem is that Mark Sanford had the affair in Argentina. Long-distance relationships rarely work out. I'd bet he's fooled around closer to home.

An extramarital affair by itself shouldn't be a career-breaker. But Sanford did some stuff we wouldn't abide here in New Jersey the Fuggetaboudit State, where Bill Clinton could have run for a third term & won. He tried to turn down stim bucks. We get so few cents back on the federal tax dollar that we'll take all we can get, strings attached. No one wants to secede from the Union, although some parts of the state wish they could secede from New Jersey.

No matter where super-rich Jersey Governor Jon Corzine spends his weekends, or who he spends them with, when he's out of the state we expect him to inform Senate President Dick Codey, who knows what to do & won't get rattled if there's flash floods or a prison riot.
