Spitzer, Ensign, Sanford, another WWWWW&W day & the hits keep comin'

If it's Wednesday it must be Wretched Wrepublican Wandering Weenie Wrevelation & Wresignation Day. (God help me, how schadenfreude tempts me.)

This makes TWO Wednesdays in a row that a Repuglican boy in high places had to fall on his sword. For unauthorized swordplay.

So this week it's the Governor Sanford show in which the leader of South Carolina tearfully confesses. He then spanked himself on the wrist and resigned from his leadership position amongst Rep Govs. Watch his act on C-SPAN, once it's racked in the archives. BTW, the woman regarded as his anointed successor took his pic and endorsement off her website today.


Not that Sanford.

Here's the pic that's no longer on her website:


Last Wednesday Sen Ensign, (R-NV) gave a small mea-culpa. He was a member of Promise Keepers, a men's Christian group that espoused devotion to family and marriage. This Mr Clean called for Clinton to step down and chided Sen Craig for airport potty footsie. So he resigned--not from the Senate, but merely from his leadership position [head of the Republican Policy Committee].

Oh I can't wait until next Wednesday. Oooo, maybe it'll be exprez daddy-Bush confessing. I'm sorry, that's like mentioning your parents have sex. Well, they did.

Flash (oh, I didn't say that) back to last year, and it was a Wednesday March 12 that New York Governor Eliot Spitzer spilled his beans. And quit his job. Wonderful Wednesdays.


An even uglier image, Newt Gingrich's multiple affairs. He confessed his recidivist sins to a conservative audience, however, on a Friday in 2007.

What is it? Do these repressed snarky nay-sayers represent an irresistible challenge to the "other women" of the world? Are they simply wild men once their rigid (oh bad word) reserve is penetrated? (ok, I'll stop now) Maybe once they've flung caution to the wind they simply become animals. Wild animals.

Oh, of course, they are animals. We all are.
