In case you missed it, Mark Sanford is making his second appearance on the comeback trail — not to be confused with that other trail — tonight at 9 p.m. by appearing on CNN live with Piers Morgan:
LIVE: Former Governor Mark Sanford
In an in-depth interview, the former Governor of South Carolina opens up about the scandal that caused him to leave office & more.
This is 11 days after his appearance with Sean Hannity on the network where he is most at home. (In case you forget, he appeared on Fox News 46 times during the stimulus fight, before Argentina.)
And what’s all this about? Well, we’d all heard in the past about the possibility that he’d run against Lindsey Graham. But today I heard on the street — or reasonably close to the street — another scary possibility: He wants to be governor again.
Imagine the psychodrama. After the apology tour that seemed like it would never end, but finally did, he’s going to make us prove to him that we really DO forgive him by re-electing him. And the really, really scary part is that we’re highly likely to do that if he demands it of us. Because, let’s face it: We’re pretty messed up, too. We, the South Carolina electorate, have issues.
Anyway, now that he’s on this trail, I for the first time feel truly glad that I gave up cable. I don’t get those channels anymore! I can’t even record it! No one can expect me to watch it! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-haaaaahhhhh!…

Like it won’t be on YouTube.
Dang it, I know that, but I was hoping y’all would forget.
There’s no benefit in my having given up cable if y’all don’t excuse me from watching stuff like this…
“In an in-depth interview, the former Governor of South Carolina opens up about the scandal that caused him to leave office & more.”
I don’t recall him leaving office until his term was up.
You miss him. He misses you.
Admit it.
I don’t know why people comment there instead of here.
A couple of days ago, I ran across a plug-in that would cause all such comments and reTweets and the like to show up HERE so that the full conversation would be reflected here on the blog, where it ought to be.
It caused my blog to crash when I tried to install it. So I couldn’t use it. Dang.
And Jeffrey, this is TV news. You don’t expect it to bear a resemblance to reality, do you?
My own expectations are so low I didn’t even notice that…
Anyway, don’t expect the questions he is asked to be any better informed than that.
It’s funny if you analyze that error. They ASSUME it drove him from office because of course it SHOULD have driven him from office, because he should have resigned.
But no such luck.
Governor again? Excuse me? Only in SC! Ms. Kinder needs to meet Mr. Webster. The word is sAlacious.
Why doesn’t he just move back down to Argentina?
Yuck.
This interview was not in regard to being Governor again. Mark happens to need for people to believe his “story”. He has never breathed the ” real story” out loud however, many many good people in the state know exactly why he ran away in 2009. Go to Argentina and look for his mistress. Good luck finding her!
You left out the best part regarding the antics of our former anvilheaded governor
….his attempt to be nonsexist was a most appalling failure….
Read.
“You know, I didn’t properly love my wife,” said Sanford. “I think that, you know, fundamental to a woman, I’m not trying to be a CHAUVINIST here, is a need for security whether it’s emotional or financial or a nest. And if she gets that she’s HAPPY and PLAYFUL and encouraging and if she doesn’t get that she can be SOME OTHER THINGS.”
Similar to the way one would respond to a favored labrador retriever, no?
@ Terra — Jezebel was eaten by wild dogs.

I thanked him for taking his licks.

Isn’t that what got him in trouble in the first place?
By the way, here’s a continuation of that same conversation on Facebook:
Terra, the woman’s a whore, but Sanford deserved thanking? For what? Oh, right, he “always fought for less!” Now that’s some epitaph: He always fought for less. Wow. BTW, you have quite a double standard there between men and women.
She gave more, he fought for less. I don’t know, Kathy. That seems like a good way to me to sum up real-life gender differences…
OK, I THINK that conversation is over now. And here’s the rest of it:
Terra Kinder John Boudreaux, I will give you this: Ok, it is easier for me to forgive Sandford, but a lot of that was b/c of ML’s age… but I will concede to that point and do my best to work that out! Have an excellent day everyone!
