Sanford sans son
I have to say that I’m not really that interested in Mark Sanford and his Argentinian lover. Yes, I understand that politics and sex is always a wonderful story. Beyond that, there is the mysterious disappearance, the possibility of public funds being used for his trip, and the hypocrisy of Sanford’s past (calling on Bill Clinton to resign for breaking his marital oath). I just don’t care.
I think Sanford will resign, sooner than later. Good riddance. I can’t imagine the turmoil in his family right now. It’s too bad.
But, honestly, there is not one bit of public policy that will be changed because of this. This will not matter a month from now, much less a year from now. It is, in short, a non-story. Except that it’s about sex.
What I wonder about is Iraq and Afghanistan. While everyone is worried about Iran cracking down on protesters (what did they expect?), I wonder about Pakistan. And then there is unrest in Somalia.
I wonder what’s going on in Congress with the healthcare plan, the economy, and the rest of the 2008 campaign agenda.
But we don’t hear about such things. At least, not much. People’s lives don’t matter. Who they have sex with does.
