SC Newspaper had Sanford's emails since December?

What were they doing with them?

1. Sitting on them until it became obvious the story was breaking anyway

Call it the NYT way of running a newspaper.

[Jackeens]

2. I wondered that too. The paper's reporter on the Situation Room tonight...

...was less than convincing in his 'explanation' for why they didn't publish them before now, it sounded like they made little effort to find out if they were authentic.

Does anyone know the, um, politics of that particular paper?

4. The paper is owned by McClatchey. It endorsed Sanford's

opponent. It has a moderate reputation.

7. People need to start questioning whether the newspaper should be a considered reliable source.

3. Just an affair may be more Nat'l Enquirer, but this story, dereliction of duty, etc., different.

5. Masturbating with them.

Or (Maybe?) Holding them until after Sanford won the 2012 Republican Primary.
