Don’t Cry for Me Argentina

I still can’t understand why infidelity and politics seem to cross paths so often… but they do. And it’s happened again with South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford. This week he admitted to secretly flying to Argentina to visit the woman he was having an affair with. This all happend over Father’s Day weekend while his wife and four boys were at home… and while staffers at the Governor’s office supposedly couldn’t reach him.
We talked about it on Better Mornings Atlanta and as we looked back at other politicans who’ve jepardized thier careers by straying… like Bill Clinton, John Edwards and Jim McGreevy… it was interesting that none of them made an addmission until their cheating was about to be revealed. Why couldn’t they just come out and tell the truth? Is there anyone who will ever be able to answer that question honestly? I think it was best stated by a longtime friend of Gov. Sanford… Warren Culbertson who said “Any man can fall. But it takes a real man to get up and honestly, from his heart, confess that he was wrong.”
