CNN

It is ridiculous to watch republicans try to qualify Sanford's poor judgment as something that is only occurring in the personal aspects of his life. Bad judgment is bad judgment is bad judgment. Another fundamentalist in denial.

bored now....bye bye!

The guy was embarrassed by his boss, so he's leaving. It's that simple.

Hope that more jump ship– Who wants to be associated with a liar and a person of no principles at all.

not a thing to du ewith the Gov and you said that with astraight face

Hey Sanford ... how it is going with the wife?? ...... does she feel like she is your real ' soul mate ' ?? .... have you compare your 'love to a tragic story' .... have you made comments about her body and mind and etc etc .... oh yeah and cried??

Sanford is only making it easy for the Democrats to make significant inroads into SC.

What is going on in the C-Street cult, of which Sanford is a member, that a large portion of these men have had many extra-marital affairs? Why would Sanford and these other wealthy politicians go to live in this townhouse 'dormitory style' in DC, when they have apartments there as well? What is going on there?

He wants to "spend more time with family" which are code words for "I'm about to be indicted as well". Ha, Republican family values on display – don't you just love it!

Why can't this guy just say he's leaving because he doesn't want to be associated with this embarrassing mess? Why the song and dance about "personal reasons" and "what's best for my family"? Do they send politicos to some special school to learn double-talk and mumbo jumbo? Do they really think we're all stupid??? Anybody with half a brain should bail out of this anyway...

Drip, Drop, Drip, Drop... & It Begin's...

He may be distancing himself from all things "C-Street".

Yeah CNN, be a News organization, not not the TABLOID you have become a 24 hours TABLOID network, but so have MSNBC and FOX.
be different do your job inform us, not entertain us.

This is real NEWS go get it, or do what seems like you new normal talk about news after the fact.

time to bail on the sinking ship, eh??? lmao!!!!!

Mr. Communications Director obviously cannot take the heat so he is getting out of the kitchen. How can someone in charge of communications be in wonderland when the Head Honcho of the State is MIA and his whereabouts cannot be ascertained? Or is it that he is geographically challenged as regards the difference between the Andes Mountain and the Appalachians? Alas, communication does not seem to be his forté; he definitely needs to try something else.

Sanford should resign. I don't care about this affairs but he is a crook who stole $$$$ from the taxpayers.

Sure, "personal reasons". Like being associated with a lying, unreliable and discredited Governor, given to flights of gonad fantasies, would be a resume-enhancing experience.

Good try Joel, but no cigar.

At least we can give you more credit for good sensibility than the rest of Sanford's team.

Sure, Joel, nothing to do with your decision........

Well, if I worked for Sanford, I wouldn't want to be near him or be associated with him in any way. But the one who should go is not you, it is your Govenor.

lame duck?? isnt that why palin is stepping down. no one believes in them anymore??

I don't know what they are waiting for – Impeach the Player.

He may be distancing himself from all things "C-Street".

For some reason, CNN is unwilling to give in-depth details of the "Family" (or sometimes called the "Fellowship") that has a very secretive creed and many politicians are involved in.

What's the problem CNN? No journalists?

I guess Joel has gotten tired of lying for Sanford! Good for you, Joel. I only wish you would take the bum Sanford with you!!!!

Gov. Sanford should follow his lead.
