Craig Crawford's Trail Mix

Wahoo-WA!

Oh Craig, there you go again. It's not what Sanford did, its how he is dealing with it that makes him a worthy object of derision.

I'm telling you, the guy needs to see a counselor, he doesn't know when to keep his personal life personal. The pain of watching the first confession was bad enough, but he just keeps talking and talking and talking. Bet his wife would like a GAG order!!!

oh yeah....
well I heard that Sanford was actually having an affair with Michael Jackson in Alaska in Monica Lewinsky's house..... they often used the candlestick that belonged to Colonial Mustard....

will these people never learn.....

The more I see Sanford, the more I think he is not just "in love" but really really angry with his wife. No one says the things he has said in public unless they are trying to inflict some deep wounds.

It is one thing to have an affair and even admit it, to even say you are working on reconciliation, but the "soul mate", "deep love" to all and sundry only has one purpose: To embarrass and injure the woman to whom he is married.

Renee,

I heard he was wearing Monica's blue dress while dallying with Miss Scarlet in the kitchen.

Yesterday our 14-year old grandson spent much of the day with us. The Sanford affair afforded me a teaching moment. I simply asked my grandson if he was aware of the governor's 'problem' and, if so, describe it too me.

He started giving me a basic newspaper description of what had transpired. So I asked him what caused the problem. Once again he danced around the major issue.

So, I told him, once again, that the problem was caused because the governor couldn't keep his pecker in his pants.

Of course I

Jamie, your comment is reinforced by the fact that their physical appearances, from the photos I've seen, are quite similar.

Oops! I'm back...

Not being a South Carolina resident, my opinion is damn near if not completely irrelevant on this matter, but:

My issue isn't with his personal life, it's that he was incommunicado and out of country for a week or so, as well as possible misappropriation of state funds. That'd get my ass fired. Good work if you can get it, being a governor, eh?

Pardon the interruption.

Sanford will sink if he thinks the public has no right to see if public money was used to finance his erections.

Spitzer escaped because he resigned. Edwards should have to account for his stupidity. I give Clinton a pass, because his behavior in the White Houe on our dime is not regulated unless it wa a crime. I don't believe adultry is a crime in D.C. Smoking crack cocaine with a prostitute is as Barry found out, but not what Clinton did......

Sorry for my interjecting an observation tonight about how Powel and Obama have some things wrong. I hope they take a look at this too. Now please do not attack me for posting FrontPage. It is not the name that is important but whether there is substantial truth to what the author says.

Obama has staked a lot on large sums changing the ground perception of the US in Afghanistan, Gaza, Pakistan and elsewhere in the Muslim world. The article shows that our investment may actually be counter productive. To change this we might have to create "safe" zones where Westerners can distribute humanitarian aid and show locals what we are all about. The way we are doing this is plain wrong.

See for yourself and forget ideology. Does the observation make sense?

Now add to my last link the following NYT article. You can see the pattern and it is not pretty.

I'm not sure about what this has to do with Sanford, but at least Craig was referring to honesty. In the end, I agree that this is much ado about nothing as long as no crime happened. Clinton derailed an important finish to his last term.

If Obama and Powel were as honest about our Muslim aid packages, perhaps we could re-evaluate them. And the voters will get a chance to reevaluate Sanford.

In my book, not half as bad as Sir Stanford......

Glad your grandson didn't tell you the lesson was about not getting caught Flatus...

Max, he still believes that he _will_ be caught if he doesn't obey the rules.

Ah, a nice pop-up shower has lowered our temperature to 84-deg.

Alittle gentle humor for the Fourth:

Jamie and Flatus, Between you, you stole my thunder.
It seems to me there's no other reason for the things Sanford is saying other than to hurt his wife. She sure seems tough and maybe a control freak or whatever, but saying you're going to try to fall in love with your wife again as a penance is so insulting and demeaning as to be a personal attack. "I'll learn to love her again even if it gags me!"

And she does look a lot like his soul-mate - I mean she resembles the other woman, whichever one is the other woman.

Did anybody besides Chloe check out that website
I'mTired Of? Maybe we should start our own list. I'll go first:

#1. Michael Jackson's death
#2. Sarah Palin
#3. Mark Sandford
#4. Technology
#5. Dick Cheney
#6. Dick Cheney
#7. Crises - of any kind
#8. My left shoulder hurting
#9. Me talking too much - see, it irritates even me.
#10. Control freaks

That does it. I'm going to read. I agree that Darklord is not Brian. He used to deal with Brian pretty darn well.
I enjoy Darklord even when he's wrong. He's pretty darn creative.

Mark Sandford. Hmmm.
Seems he's been having a lot of trouble coping with the life he's built, so he needed to find a way to tear it all down in one swift move.

He's one of those characters that had to talk himself into thinking he's in love and has found his soulmate, in order to suppress the guilt of disappointing everyone in his life. The 'only' person he's worried about is himself. So he's painting himself as a helpless innocent, caught in this web of love, and now, in his mind, he's attempting to convince the whole world it wasn't his fault. Circumstances and feelings of love just drug him in -- it had nothing to do with satisfying his fantasies. This is all about escaping the life he's created.

Just watch. Good bye wife, good bye family, good by politics, who knows, maybe even good bye America. I can't help it, I've met my soul mate.

Champ, you were right that first day about Sandford (unconsciously) sabotaging his career (and marriage too, I'd say). But not just that, he's out to destroy every important person in his life, except for Maria. Maria represents his escape route. But we all know how long that will last, once the loving new couple get to spend a little time together.

Sandford is a coward. He'll destroy everyone in his path, most importantly his family, rather than wake up and take responsibility for his decisions. He considers himself a victim of circumstances. Poor guy.

Craig, regarding your post today. You have 'got' to be kidding.

Carol,

I know I probably won't be here in time to say hello to you in the morning, so I'm saying it now. Hope we'll be able to catch up on the holiday weekend. Maybe be able to discuss all that's happened (and ended) this week.

Do men see Mark Sanford in the mirror?
Why does there seem seems to be an undercurrent of pity for the adulterous South Carolina governor.

In the Google News, there are several articles about folks questioning Mark Sanford's mental health due to his incessant talking about his personal life.

Craig...I think I am reading your post correctly...you are commending Sanford for being honest about being dishonest. Geez....makes my head hurt. The guy has his head in the clouds...I can see him trolling bars asking women "what's your sign?" Yep, no time in that brain for his job...he just letting his dick lead him around and like Edwards, attributes some "new age" connection, special relationship, lovers on the soul train of life. Really embarassing, like some teen magazine.

His love life descriptions are turning me on....no off..no on....
