Sanford: King David Didn't Resign, So Why Should I?

Sanford: King David Didn't Resign, So Why Should I?

<...>

Said Sanford:

I have been doing a lot of soul searching on that front. What I find interesting is the story of David, and the way in which he fell mightily, he fell in very very significant ways. But then picked up the pieces and built from there.

<...>

Late Update: In a statement issued after the meeting, Sanford doubled down on the David analogy:

I remain committed to rebuilding the trust that has been committed to me over the next 18 months, and it is my hope that I am able to follow the example set by David in the Bible - who after his fall from grace humbly refocused on the work at hand. By doing so, I will ultimately better serve in every area of my life, and I am committed to doing so.

Someone needs to start drug testing Republicans.

1. But yet he resigned from the RGA...why?

[Ocracoker16]

2. Wow- I thought that the first statement was really funny

He is really living in his little own world. He is so pompous.

[theoldman]

3. King David was not up for re-election.

King David also had many wives and concubines to take care of his sexual needs. Apples and oranges in my opinion.

[camera obscura]

4. This scandal's new theme song - "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen or "Dead" by The Pixies

Along with "Don't Cry For Me Argentina", naturally.

5. David "Diaper-boy" Vitter didn't resign... doncha know he's got it covered with -

that favorite xtian bumper sticker "Not perfect - just forgiven"

[rurallib]

7. Is this the King David Sanford refers to?

I can see Vitter in his diapers, holding a scepter with a crown on his head.
Must go wash brain.

11. It should read..

"Not perfect just a pervert"

6. Governor Sanford's Aide: "Sir I think we should throw in something from the bible into your response

"Hey, not bad. Wish I'd thought of it. Good call there."

Cue the music, Governor.

I wonder how the head of the SC National Guard is sleeping tonight.
