Of course it's the other gun Sanford used on Father's Day
that has gotten him in trouble with three of the most influential women in the
United States--his wife, the former Jennifer Sullivan of Lake Forest Illinois,
and Gail Collins and Maureen Dowd of the New York Times.
And now people are asking the usual ethics and judgment questions
about Sanford: if a politician will cheat on his wife who won't he cheat on? If
a politician will lie about sex what won't he lie about? If a politician will
squander tax payer money on this, what won't he squander it on?
Absent from the public discussion is if a politician gets a
thrill out of killing--repeatedly, for no reason and without a fight--what else
is wrong with his mental health?
Nor is anyone pointing out that the mourning dove used to be
called the Carolina Turtledove and doesn't leave its mate.
