Oh, stop it with all the self-righteous posturing about Sanford's right to privacy and how sleazy all this is.

It's not tawdry to publish those emails. We have no reasonable expectation of privacy, after all. It IS tawdry to commit adultery, no matter how much you dress it up in Argentinian candlelight and second-rate Harlequin novel speak and middle-aged male angst.
