But you can say that there was a tiny part of Michael Jackson in quite a few children.

“No one’s excusing Sanford’s behavior. But as we slog through another week of the Jackson postmortem-paloooza and wonder at the fact that we’re also still hearing about the South Carolina governor’s love for certain tan lines, maybe it’s worth asking ourselves why. Is it because we’re uncategorically appalled? Or is it because maybe, just maybe, there’s a tiny bit of Mark Sanford in, if not all men, quite a few of them? And that’s more than you can say of Michael Jackson.

Who is this person, and why are they so stupid? I’ll stop talking about Sanford when they start talking about impeaching him. Not before — and not because I pity him. And, yes, I made a Chappaquiddick joke when everyone thought Ted Kennedy was dying. Because, you know, Mary Jo Kopechne is still dead.
