Dude, your fifteen minutes are up
Sanford has reached that point in a scandal cycle at which he compounds the self-embarrassment with each utterance. Goopy group-therapy-speak and detailed discussion of his feelings (his fling was “a love story” but he’s “trying to fall back in love with his wife”) and further revelations of his barely containable horniness. And, of course, some God talk. (What was supposed to be the breakup ws “chaperoned” by a “spiritual advisor,” but then he subsequently went to Buenos Aires to see her again).
Tell it to Oprah, pal. On second thought, please don’t.
Doesn’t he have a really close friend who can get through to him and tell him to resign, shut his pie hole and do his puking all over himself in a counselor’s office?
One thing I’m glad about is that this came to light before the 2012 election cycle got underway.

His agent says the Love Letters screenplay is worth millions, more than he could ever earn as a politico.

It is by Erika Lovley at ThePolitico.com. “Inside Sanford’s Love Letters — It’s a love story worthy of a … Nicholas Sparks novel. A high-ranking politician sneaks away from the pressures of political life to meet his secret lover — a beautiful, intelligent brunette from Argentina. He’s willing to risk anything, even a potential shot at the presidency, to be with her. In the meantime, he plies her with hopelessly romantic love letters.” This piece goes on to analyze the love letters. He’s a great writer. He’s “colorful, descriptive, and unabashedly romantic, at times to the point of being schmaltzy and embarrassing.”
