Of Course He Should Resign

Gov. Mark Sanford (R-SC) had been a stalwart for fiscal conservatives, as he fought hard–albeit unsuccessfully–to refuse federal stimulus money for his state.

Sadly, he had also been carrying on an affair with a woman from Argentina. Last week, he disappeared–traveling to Argentina–without formally transferring power and without letting anyone know his whereabouts. Yesterday, he confessed to the affair.

As if the affair were not bad enough, the fact that he took a week of unannounced leave–a firing offense for any state employee–is ample grounds for forcing his resignation. If the legislature had any stones, they would impeach him sooner rather than later, and the Republicans should lead the charge.

Unfortunately, the GOP has no stones.
