Another Day, Another GOP Sex Scandal

It’s been days since there was a Republican sex scandal, so kudos to Governor Mark Sanford for adding the “sneaking off to Argentina” twist, giving us a delightful new euphemism for infidelity in “hiking the Appalachian Trail,” and providing us with emails worthy of a tepid romance novel.

I’m not sure what’s worse: the affair, the lies, or the spelling.

By now we know the routine: the confessional press conference, followed by the inevitable Fox graphic misidentifying the party affiliation of the misbehaving politician.



They do this a lot.





Sometimes it's not even a scandal. Republican lost to a Democrat? Just switch those party affiliations on the graphic.



You have to admire their absolute confidence in the stupidity of their audience. “Just say they’re Dems. Our viewers will never know the difference.”
