(CNN) – South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford opened up about the state of his family on Wednesday — the first time he has done so since his wife, Jenny, moved out of the governor's mansion last week.

Asked during a radio interview how he's coping with being alone in the mansion, Sanford responded: "That part's hard."

"But there are consequences for any mess-up that we have in life, and that's one of them," the governor told Columbia-based WVOC radio. "That's probably the most bitter part of it."

>snip<

"I am dead politically," he said at the end of the interview. "I am not running for another office. I just want to make the most of the 16 months that are remaining in trying to honor where I started in this thing, which is, how do you do some things that hopefully make people's lives just a little bit better in South Carolina."

But he did that to himself with his erratic behavior, didn't he.

[Skink]

5. He should be a lobbyist.

[havocmom]

6. Actions have consequences, even for male GOP pols

He is old enough that he should have known that by now. So, not only a self-centered philanderer using taxpayer dollars inappropriately, but a really slow learner to boot.

[Ilsa]

16. But, but, but The Family told him that god chose him to be there! nt

[PRETZEL]

29. which is why I don't believe that self serving

little prick.

[havocmom]

34. Well put!

[Jack_Dawson]

Just kidding. That's what you get for not accepting stimulus money and flying around for haircuts on the peoples' dime.

18. Don't worry Mark

hopefully the state legislature impeaches your sorry ass before your term is up. Your super-rich wife won't have any trouble finding another man willing to raise your sons-asshole.

[peekaloo]

20. *sigh* no one to cast a sexy silhouette in the moonlight.

he's not politically dead, he's just pining for the tan lines.


fuck off Goober.

[Beer on a stick]

22. What, there are no hookers in SC?

[ejpoeta]

23. yeah ok... poor baby.... probably has to clean up after himself too....

instead of having the wifey to do all that work for him. whatever fallout happens because of his choices.... there are consequences to our actions. He should look on the bright side.... now he is free to be with his true love.

[Orsino]

24. "I am dead politically," he said...

...but he'll make sure South Carolinians can't have a real governor for another sixteen months.

She, at least, had the smarts to move out.

[Z_I_Peevey]

27. Thank God this is getting attention.

I've been worried sick about the Governor of South Carolina's mood.

:sarcasm:

[undeterred]

28. Maybe Spitzer's hooker has some free time

to keep him company. :shrug:

[David Zephyr]

30. He actually said "it's hard". He'd better get back to hiking on his trail again.

What an idiot.

[Supersedeas]

31. Compare his commitment to finish his term with that of Bible Spice.

[Cleita]

32. Well, why doesn't he do what Rudy Giuliani did and invite his mistress to

live there with him? It seems to be true Republican family values. Why should he be any different? At least the wife and kids are gone unlike Rudy's who were still in the Mayor's residence.

[SoCalDem]

33. "...It's hard" (wink wink)...living alone in the .... especially when I'm on the phone
