Mark Sanford releases a statement about trespassing charges:

Releases statement after charges came to light last evening.

The spokesperson for Mark Sanford's congressional campaign released a statement in response to the contempt of court charges that occurred in February and made public last evening.

"It's an unfortunate reality that divorced couples sometimes have disagreements that spill over into family court. I did indeed watch the second half of the Super Bowl at the beach house with our 14 year-old son because as a father I didn’t think he should watch it alone. Given she was out of town I tried to reach her beforehand to tell her of the situation that had arisen, and met her at the back steps under the light of my cell phone when she returned and told her what had happened.

“There is always another side to every story, and while I am particularly curious how records that were sealed to avoid the boys dealing with embarrassment are now somehow exposed less than three weeks before this election, I agree with Jenny that the media is no place to debate what is ultimately a family court matter, and out of respect for Jenny and the boys, I'm not going to have any further comment at this time,” Sanford said.

so he decided to trespass? He is such a narcissist. Rules just don't apply to him. What a piece of work!

On the Appalachian Trail?

Was it OK to leave his son alone for the first half?

restuarants that have the game on. We have a couple of them here in Utah. NOT a sports bar, but sports restaurant. He chose to trespass instead. Watch the Reps flock to his defense.....their hypocricy makes me ill.
