Maybe Snow nicknamed his love Rain because he felt like she melted his icy heart, just like the spring rain melts the snow. Corny I know, but incredibly romantic.Melindahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09345272830039902307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2824476215637384474.post-38223889367413023342009-06-28T08:08:29.904-04:002009-06-28T08:08:29.904-04:00@yogagrrl - people who are in love do and say stupid things, what can I say? The Bible is his crutch, I suspect; he feels guilty about what he did so falls back on what he knows best. As a hardcore liberal I don&#39;t have much sympathy for the man who voted to impeach Clinton, but as a person, I do feel for him.<br /><br />@Ed - I think you&#39;re right about getting off on doing something forbidden - which is one of the similarities I see between him and these advertisers. I think they liked to see themselves as heroes in tragic romances (thus the use of nicknames like Othello and Desdemona), and their language matched that. Maybe he was the same.Pamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10602862698828443177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2824476215637384474.post-42118424152194420512009-06-27T13:04:47.063-04:002009-06-27T13:04:47.063-04:00Ah yes, Sanford&#39;s emails to Maria. How can such a boring man write such Harlequin Romance Drivel? <br />I think the reason that he wrote so floridly compared to what you expect comes down to the fact that what he was doing was wrong, and he got off on that. The threat of getting caught was a turn on, if you would. Like many Holier than Thous, Mark has his Kinks, although we aren&#39;t quite in Vitter territory!<br /><br />Being a cynic, I think that most men in power pursue power to get laid (there are exceptions, of course). I have a hard time coming up with a post WWII President that did NOT, at any time in there life, have an affair. The one exception would be Jimmy Carter, no way he had an affair (and maybe Barack, I know I wouldn&#39;t want to cross Michelle :-))! <br /><br /><br />On a personal note, I live in South Carolina. Him being in Argentina and nobody knowing where he was, probably meant that the State was better mananged than ever during his reign. All the stories are true, even the Hard Core Repub base here thinks he&#39;s a little &quot;off.&quot; On a plus side, I&#39;m glad that Sanford is finally giving me entertainment that I can enjoy and smile about. Couldn&#39;t happen to a nicer guy! A**Hole!<br /><br />-EdEdnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2824476215637384474.post-6926461108795304912009-06-27T12:39:59.690-04:002009-06-27T12:39:59.690-04:00What&#39;s kind of hilarious to me, having read the article, is his use of THE BIBLE to justify his actions/desires. Especially funny given his long, circular rambling about God and God&#39;s laws to open the press conference. :D<br /><br />I think it&#39;s also easier for people to write what they feel rather than say it to the people they care about. Hurtful things on the internet are at the other extreme of the spectrum, but I think it&#39;s because we consider correspondence to be &#39;safe.&#39;yogagrrlhttp://yogagrrl.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
