Committee should convene to judge governor's actions

First Byline: 
Carol Fowler - Chairperson, S.C. Democratic Party

Sex, lies and politics....

South Carolinians recently received a full course meal using this recipe for disaster from Gov. Mark Sanford. For more than a week, we were subjected to the greatest display of irresponsible behavior by an elected official in 100 years.

Sanford abandoned his official duties, deceived the public and misled his family, staff and closest friends. He has even admitted to using public funds to support his extramarital affair.

In spite of 10 days of full national humiliation, South Carolinians still don't know the whole truth.
