Mark Sanford explains his refusal to resign as governor of South Carolina in Biblical terms. King David didn’t resign after the Bathsheba affair did he?
In case you thought it was some kind of accident, Sanford restated his analogy in a press release.
Late Update: In a statement issued after the meeting, Sanford doubled down on the David analogy:
I remain committed to rebuilding the trust that has been committed to me over the next 18 months, and it is my hope that I am able to follow the example set by David in the Bible – who after his fall from grace humbly refocused on the work at hand. By doing so, I will ultimately better serve in every area of my life, and I am committed to doing so.
Ummm….yeah.
