South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford was cheap, terrible at giving presents, attention-hungry, unsettled and ultimately not true to his ideals. Oh - and he cheated on his wife. The last part we know from his overwrought confession on national TV. The rest we know because the wife he cheated on tells us about it in her new memoir, Staying True...
When Jenny Sanford dumped her overly weepy, cheating, lying husband Mark Sanford, governor of South Carolina, many people cheered.

The Senate blocks not just benefits for the masses, but legislation of all varieties. As Texas law professor Sanford Levinson—currently visiting at Harvard—wrote in his fantastic “Our Undemocratic Constitution,” the continued existence of the Senate agitates not just against the passage of foolish legislation, but of wonderful legislation as well. This is a recipe not for prudence...
