Public Fri, 26 Jun 2009 20:28:40 +0000 http://thenewagenda.net/?p=11606#comment-19229 I totally agree on the double standard. But why is Sanford's girlfriend a "concubine"? She's a woman who made decisions we might not agree with, but concubine connotes social inferiority and possibly financial dependence or slave status. We have no reason to believe the relationship was anything but equitable. Also, I can't stop thinking about Nikki Haley, the candidate for SC gov who Sanford all but endorsed - how will this impact her campaign? Will we find that another woman has been harmed by this scandal? The thought makes me shudder. I totally agree on the double standard.

Excellent analysis in exposing yet another huge double standard between the genders. I still remember the vitriol that followed after Hillary chocked up in Pennsylvania and I'm still not "over it"! I think this message should be trumpted everywhere and consistently. I'm sickened by the amount of sympathy this guy is getting by the pundits for only speaking out because he got caught. Frankly, I think the obama camp leaked his whereabouts in order to destroy his political career as payback for his opposition to the obama bailouts. They had the e-mails for 5 months and held them back. Why? There seems to be more to this than meets the eye. pumaforlife,

HA! Hilarious! Yehhh - if it was a woman fessing up she would be called a whore and symbolically burned at the stake. This is disgusting, he is only concerned about losing his political power and prestige and income, the jackass anyway! His life is not a train wreck, his life centered on his penis and his ego and his lover from Argentina and now he can't have that any more and he is pouting via tears, self pity and it is disgusting. He should have stood up straight, stated he broke his wedding vows, psychologically violated his wife and shamed his family and is willing to fully own up to the consequences of his willful actions whatever they may be.
