SC Governor Mark Sanford was a Representative when he voted in the impeachment of President Bill Clinton. He now joins the ever-burgeoning number of Republicans who cheated on their wives, made inappropriate advances to teens, covered up inappropriate advances to teens, cruised for gay sex or lied under oath about their perversions.

Even at the time, Republicans were known to cheat on their wives and destroy families. John McCain, Newt Gingrich and Tim Hutchinson managed to keep a straight face as they accused someone else of infidelity. Since the impeachment failed, all three GOP Speakers of the House have left under a cloud. Historians are looking back at a very selfish time. As perversions and transgressions are revealed, the number of amoral Republicans we know about has now exceeded the number who haven't been caught.

Just like today, the news media knew about many of the affairs but said little or nothing if the perve was on the right. TALONNEWS is sitting on e-mails from several other wandering Republicans, so we sympathize with The State (SC) for refusing to report a bizarre story. But our staff is too consumed by the death of Jacko to really care very much about some asshole's reputation.
