Random: Sanford and Dodd
Just because a politician cheats on his wife by flying to Buenos Aires (hahaha… WOOOooooo) does not mean that the ideas that politician represents are invalidated. This goes for Governors who come out of the closet or get caught with prostitutes, Congressmen caught stealing, Presidents who have sex with interns in the Oval Office, Mayors who cheat on their wife while in office, and any other politician who ends up screwing up.
What a politician represents (the wishes of the people? Hello?) should be bigger than the politician.
I know when a politician gets caught being immoral or unethical, his politics tend to get attacked. This is wrong. Hate the player; don't hate the game. Mock the politician; not the constituents.

That being said, Governor Sanford should RESIGN for irresponsibly going to another country without formally transferring power to the Lieutenant Governor of South Carolina. He is irresponsible and not trustworthy.

When I heard Senator Dodd from Connecticut claim that bipartisanship was not needed to pass a healthcare bill on NPR this morning, I almost drove off the road.
I KNOW he cried for bipartisanship when the Republicans were in power. What a joke. No shame. No shame.
And, to think, Republicans caved to Democrats on a variety of issues during the Bush administration.
