WHAT A HEEL: King Of The Heels
As Gov. Mark Sanford (R-SC) and his oft-modified unlimited hangout continue day-after-day, it’s now impossible to ignore his staggering marital and political indiscretions, nicely summed up by Washington Post media analyst-cum-political pundit Howard Kurtz:
a) His "
b) His choice of an Argentine lover
c) His stream-of-consciousness press conference
d) His wife hanging him out to dry, especially after he asked permission to visit his gal pal
e) His endless apologizing
f) The e-mails
But wait – there’s more! Add Sanford’s admission to The Associated Press that he rounded a few bases with other women, though he went all the way home only with his “soul mate,” Maria Belen Chapur, in what ended up being “a whole lot more than a simple affair; this was a love story. A forbidden one, a tragic one, but a love story at the end of the day.”
And still more:
But is
Let’s compare low-blow by low-blow:
† Edwards paying off happily married campaign flunky – a father of three - Andrew Young to pretend that he was the one who knocked up Rielle Hunter is a far more diabolical deceit than
† As far as documentary evidence of marital misdeeds go, the sex tape Edwards and Hunter purportedly made together is an order of magnitude sleazier than the steamy E-mails Sanford and Chapur exchanged (“despite the best efforts of my head my heart cries out for you, your voice, your body, the touch of your lips, the touch of your finger tips and an even deeper connection to your soul”).
† And Sanford’s rubbing salt in his aggrieved wife’s wounds by describing his two-timing trollop as his soul mate doesn’t quite rise (fall?) to the vile callousness of Hunter and Edwards discussing what music to play at their wedding, once his cancer-stricken wife, Elizabeth, has shuffled off her mortal coil.
So toting up all the insults and injuries, John Edwards is King Of The Heels.
