Mark Sanford on Ayn Rand (not literally)
Tuesday, October 27, 2009 at 08:48PM Image rehabilitation isn't an easy thing. As an observer once noted, it can take years to build a reputation and seconds to destroy it.
A lesson that Mark Sanford learned the hard way. To the surprise of most observers, he's still governor of South Caorlina, having somehow avoided impeachment. He may not be a very effective Governor, but it looks like he'll serve his entire term.
And now for the rehabilitation part. I have to assume that his book review of Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged in the current issue of Newsweek marks a first step towards the slow slog of repairing whatever remains of his image. Why else would Mr Appalachian trail take time to weigh-in on the literary classic?
It may not seem like much, but it's actually a pretty good move on his part. It's literally the first thing he's done since that weepy press conference that wasn't explicitly about his marital infidelity. Ok, so it was a clumsy review of an ancient book, but he had to start somewhere. In reading it, I actually forgot for a second that he was a total creep. It might have been only a second, but it's a start.
