Sanford: A Hypocrite's Tale

From the Rev. BigDumbChimp:

Our philandering idiot of a Governor didn't do himself any favors with the op-ed piece he sent out across the state this morning. I'm hard pressed to remember a piece from a recently publicly exposed hypocrite that so deflects personal responsibility as much as Sanford did with his exercise in shifting the burden on to his religion. Instead of coming out and saying "I am at fault and I am the one who needs to repair the damage I've caused", Sanford took this opportunity to say that forgiveness is a requirement of those who share his faith. Convenient now that he is the one seeking and desperately needing that forgiveness and wanting an excuse for his behavior.

Not only does he command that he be forgiven he says that God is in control of all relieving himself of at least some of the burden of the responsibility of his disgusting actions against his family, his electorate and his position as Governor of the great State of South Carolina. He also claims to have learned from his morally bankrupt actions "to use this experience to both trust God in his larger work of changing me". Well that's just great Mark. We so appreciate your earnestness in wanting to change yourself in the face of God now that you've been exposed, and deservedly so, in the most public way possible. Where were your standards before? The ones you have clung to citing God and your Christianity when seeking demean and attack others who you claimed didn't share your moral superiority?

Exactly right. There's more goodness so follow the link and check out the rest of his post.
