Meet Roxanne Walker….The girl who scares the boys. The woman who gets turned on by politics and stimulated by a good steamy discussion of current events.
I was taught at an early age by my parents to have the courage to remain true to my convictions and beliefs in spite of the consequences. My belief in this concept has been sorely tested by the consequences of my early opposition to the war in Iraq. Speaking out against the war in Iraq led to my dismissal from WMYI a Clear Channel station on April 17, 2003. A lawsuit filed in July 2003 charging Clear Channel with unlawful termination of employment in violation of SC law which protects employees from termination of employment for espousing political opinions in the work place was settled by mediation in the spring of 2005.
South Carolina to Governor Sanford "SHUT UP and GO AWAY"
This week’s developments concerning Governor Mark Sanford prove the old saying, “Give a man enough rope and he’ll hang himself.” Just when I thought Sanford had skated away from being forced to resign or even being subjected to a SLED investigation, he hosts a visit by the Associated Press and reopens the case against his continued tenure as South Carolina’s governor. In a long, emotional interview Sanford opened up about other visits with his Argentinean girl friend and discussed his flirtations with other women as well. Most damming and hurtful of all were his continued defense of his affair, “This was a whole lot more than a simple affair; this was a love story, a forbidden one, a tragic one, but a love story at the end of the day.” Sanford compounded the pain of that confession by saying, he was “trying to fall back in love with his wife.” How nice of him. For those men who aren’t enlightened enough to understand the impact of these statements let me spell it out for you; casual sex with another woman might be overlooked but when a married man speaks of loving the other woman and dares to call his mistress his “soul-mate” the marriage is officially over. Jenny Sanford would be a fool to take his worthless, hurtful ass back now and there are no indications that Jenny is that foolish. She’s certainly been treated like a fool by her husband in the past but those days are over.

Random Thoughts About Mark Sanford
Now that we know Mark Sanford cheated on his wife, I want to know who leaked the e-mails to The State Newspaper and further more I want to know why The State didn’t try harder to break this story. They were sent e-mails documenting an affair from two legitimate e-mail addresses and they didn’t do anything besides send a message and wait for a reply? That just defies reason. I think it speaks to how cowed the media is in general and even more so in Republican dominated South Carolina. Never the less, kudos to reporter Gina Smith and The State for tracking Sanford down at the airport and finally breaking the story. Smith by the way did an excellent job as a guest last night on The Rachel Maddow Show.
