Another day, another political scandal. Like most of the others, this one involves sex; it also involves the Governor of South Carolina. The previously unremarkable governor, Mark Sanford, has apparently been traveling to Argentina to carry out an affair with an as-yet-unnamed woman. Some have alleged that he has been using taxpayer funds to carry out these trips to the Argentine. So not only is he being investigated for misuse of funding and being asked to step down, but he is also the subject of late night fodder and less than stalwart support.
Meghan McCain, political blogger and daughter of John McCain has thrown her support behind Sanford writing, "stop requiring that our politicians live at such a high level of moral superiority" and "I suggest that the party concentrate less on what goes on in the bedroom and more on what is going on in policy." I find it interesting that McCain is so quick to say that people should concentrate less on what goes on in the bedroom and more on politics. George Bush won a whole election concentrating on what goes on in people's bedrooms. Also, misuse of taxpayer funds is basically fraud, whether or not there is a bedroom involved.
Sanford wife has also gotten involved, but like most other political wives who have weathered being wronged, she is basically ignorant of her husband's life and seems to like it that way, saying "his [Mark's] career is not a concern of mine". Well, it is now, i'm sure.
