Sanctimonious? Check.

Family values? Check.

Busted? Check.

 It's not just liberals, even conservative pinheads like Fred Thompson (R., Law & Order) are using the Sanford scandal to make political hay. Somehow I got on Fred's e-mail list (okay, who's been sabotaging my e-mail account?), but sometimes it's good for a laugh. After all, if it weren't for Fred Thompson I wouldn't know the true message of l'affaire Sanford: We need term limits. 

But guess what, Fred: Sanford is already term-limited. Placing any bets on whether he'll make it to 2010?

And the Vermont angle: Who's worse for his state–Sanford in Buenos Aires, or Douglas in Montpelier?
