Chad “The Elder” Dowdy over at Fraters Libertas (a proud Minnesota blog) says the words I was groping for about the Mark Sanford scandal:

The other thing that bothered me about Sanford’s commitment to “get my heart right” is that this isn’t all about his heart. Sanford is a Christian (Episcopal) and I know that he talked about his faith during the press conference. However, I’m surprised that a bigger part of his contrition wasn’t focused on the sins he committed against God. It’s great that you’re going to work on getting your heart right Gov, but how about getting right with God? When you blindly follow your heart (or other parts of the anatomy) you easily can stray from God’s path.
