Sanford on the tube right now admitting affair. Unreal. Father’s Day weekend, no less.

In one respect, the way Sanford’s doing it is the right way to handle it politically. Caught; admit it rather than cover up; invoke your faith (to assure your people-of-faith constituents that you’re still with them, really, you stumbled but you still hold to those “moral absolutes” you just violated).

And what will happen is, he’ll come out of this with a relatively high approval ratings from conservative evangelicals - who will say, all men stumble, let us not cast stones or aspersions on this one particular sinner. Fine - but do they say the same thing when the sinner is on the other side of the aisle. And the answer is - no.

Will be hilarious to see how this is spun by O’Reilly and Beck and Hannity tonight. Sanford will be the victim - you watch.

Update: And who knew? Sanford is a Democrat, at least according to Fox:

Mistake? Fox has done this before.
