I am dead tired and wanted to go to bed early but I had to stay up to watch the Gov. Sanford press conference. So worth it! It starts 15 minutes late and he spent the next 15 minutes apologizing before he explained what he was apologizing for: He had an affair with a woman in Argentina.
It's an unbelievably emotional press conference for a guy who has spent his life building a political career... to know its gone up in smoke.
The wife and family knew about it for months. He even mentioned having a hard conversation with his father-in-law. I'll bet.
The presser is still going on and I'm actually impressed with his performance. I don't see it resurrecting his political career but it's impressive.
Admitting he liked to hike in the nude would have been so much easier.
Still not as good as the Chuck Hagel 2007 press conference to announce that he would hold a press conference later in the year announcing his future plans. That was solid gold especially since you could literally sense the "we flew all the way to Omaha for this" sweeping through the press pool.
