Rant

It's bad enough when men cheat on their wives, but when a public figure does it? Do they think they're not going to get caught? When I heard on The View this morning that Gov. Mark Sanford was "missing" and then located in Buenos Aires, Argentina, I didn't want to believe the speculation that he was having an affair. He is a Christian and a pretty good governor, so I didn't want to think that he would give into temptation like that.

Then I saw the Fox News news conference where he admitted an ongoing affair with a friend for the past year. Ugh! It made me so mad. Why or how do people think they are going to get away with committing adultery? He said that the affair began with them just being friends, confidants who passed advice back and forth and then it turned into a sexual relationship. I mentioned it in my Jon and Kate soap box rant a few weeks ago and I'll say it here, too......the second you allow a member of the opposite sex into your life to give you advice, confide in, and become a "friend" you have overstepped the line. Governor Sanford is a Christian and he should have known better. I know we are all flawed and subject to sin each and every day, but when things like this happen, it just makes me so mad! The news is wondering if this will affect the Republican party. Who cares! It is affecting his wife and two young sons.
