"Sanford can be truly humble only if he stops dictating to others, who also have desires and weaknesses, how to behave in their private lives.
The Republican Party will never revive itself until its sanctimonious pantheon — Sanford, Gingrich, Limbaugh, Palin, Ensign, Vitter and hypocrites yet to be exposed — stop being two-faced."
— Maureen Dowd, Op-Ed Columnist NYTimes

Dowd rarely has a point someone else hasn't already made, but this time she repeats a great one. The question isn't whether Mark Sanford values family, it's how many families he values.
It's just more hypocrisy from the Rapture-panic party arguing that same-sex marriage is dangerous because it MIGHT lead to legal polygamy.
Still... does Dowd EVER criticize a guy without taking a shot at his junk?
I think not.
"In a weepy, gothic unraveling, the South Carolina governor gave a press conference illustrating how smitten he was, not only with his Argentine amante, but with his own tenderness, his own pathos and his own feminine side.
"He got into trouble as a man and tried to get out as a woman."
Obviously, her signature jab at a man's masculinity is college-level rhetoric and embarrassing to read in a NYT opinion piece, but at least we expected from her, so you can skim the inevitability of it while looking for a more salient point... just in case she has one you didn't already read in someone else's column just last last week.
She's repetitive, and she borrows a lot... like a lot of us do... but she gets paid to do it.
Color me envy.

The Indirect Prophesy of Tim Pawlenty: Premonitions of Hypocrisy and Pain
"Any time you have leading figures who are engaged in behavior that's sad and troubling and hypocritical, other people are going to look at that and say, 'Hmmm, they don't walk the walk.' And so the words and the actions don't ring true."
— Minnesota's Republican Governor Pawlenty
Read more about Pawlenty's Whack at Sanford
If there's ANYTHING we've learned during this endless parade of Republican hypocrisy-mongers out to burnish their crazy conservative cred on the shredded hope of their fallen, it's that a Rapture-ready End Times denizen like Pawlenty is most likely standing in line somewhere behind Sanford on a long walk of shame to a stage in front of the news cameras.
Here, Pawlenty joins the ranks of those who claim not to see the 50% divorce rate has ANYTHING to do with the institution of marriage... and he lines up with Tribulation-crazy lady Sen. Michelle Bachmann as they pledge to support a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage in Minnesota.

A comment like that can come only from someone completely out of touch with facts on the ground.
We need to realize these guys push legislation and proclamations that are better suited for characters who don't even intend to be here once they're disappeared in the twinkling of an eye... Raptured right when their bombs drop from the sky.
But... what if YOU're Left Behind?
The Rapture-panic party would withhold from us accessible healthcare, food safety, public education, and even basic human companionship... everyday necessities the heaven-bound simply don't believe WE'LL need when THEY're Taken Away.
