Oh, by taking cover when you hear thunder. This whole thing started as an inappropriate friendship in which Sanford was involved in this woman's personal life. She was not a family friend, but someone he'd met on some junket. That should have been his warning right there.
I'm truly shocked by the number of people who think that the sophomoric, bathetic mooning of this middle-aged, married father of four, fundamentalist Christian and supposed public servant deserves any sort of sympathy whatsoever. Obviously you've never known what it's like to have a parent or spouse desert the family for the supposed "lightning strike" of "true love."
It's not teh gays that are destroying marriage, it's this utterly adolescent and hormone-induced idea that you should follow your bliss, no matter how fleeting that bliss is or how many people you hurt in the process who truly love and depend on you.
