The Attempted Media Destruction of Mark Sanford

The media, known for trying to destroy any and all potential conservative leaders, are doing their best to make SC Republican Gov. Mark Sanford out to be a crazy man. Why? Because he took a hike on the Appalachian Trail for a couple of days to unwind. Jonathan Martin of Politico is a perfect example of making a mountain out of nothing, suggesting that he is crazy, a lunatic and a terrible father and husband for leaving his wife and kids for a hike on Father's Day.

This is completely absurd. Many fathers enjoy taking a day to themselves, either to golf, hike or fish - particularly on Father's Day. Sanford's wife did say that he took a couple days to unwind and was not worried about him at all. In other words, his family was aware of the situation the entire time, even if they didn't know his precise location every minute of the day.

Now somehow Mark Sanford, the most prominent conservative governor who has spoken out against Obama's agenda and his idiotic "stimulus" plan, is unfit to hold office. The media succeeded in assassinating Sarah Palin's character and now they're gunning for Mark Sanford.

*Update*
The latest report says that Sanford was indeed in South America - with the woman he's having an affair with. If true, Sanford's career will go the way of John Edwards very quickly.

Roland Burris and Chris Dodd have got to be happy.
