The guy's excuse was "King David didn't resign when he had an affair with Bathsheba." Fucking incredible.

No kidding. Listen sirrah governor: one, you are not the head of state of a land at war, two you aren't a head of state period, you're a governor, three, good god man, get off your high horse, you aren't the chosen king of god's people, you're an official elected by a constituency. You owe them, not god.

I just read that apparently Rush Limbaugh blamed Sanford's recent "vacation" on Obama: http://blogs.tnr.com/tnr/blogs/the_plank/archive/2009/06/25/limbaugh-to-gop-screw-it.aspx

It's a different time. Nowadays a politician cannot maintain credibility of caught cheating. King David probably owned slaves...can our leaders now?

Especially not a "Family Values" Republican.

Tail end of a comment of a person on this thread: http://themoderatevoice.com/37115/mark-sanford-youre-no-king-david/

"... He married Bathsheba and incurred the wrath of God, which included the death of his infant son, a sordid tale of incest, rape and insanity among his children, a war with his own son and the eventual death of that son at the hands of his own army. It's really kind of a great story and there's no reason to believe it's fiction. Sanford is also an adulterer and his incurring, if not the wrath of God, the humiliation of being exposed as a fool."

And there is a difference between a Biblical "God Appointed" King, versus some governor....
I hear a lot about politics through my dad, who's a political satirist by profession.... if i remember my dad correctly , this guy was a big decrier of Clinton, wanting him to resign.

WHY DID YOU DO IT, OBAMA!?
