Gov. Mark Sanford (R-SC) says ...

There are consequences to every decision we make in life, and I'm comfortable with the consequences of this one. The easiest thing in the world would have been to accept the money and move on, but it would be completely at odds with the decision-making framework that I've used over the last 15 years of my life

Translation? I'm a gonna screw the people who elected me.
