South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford appeared to have survived his Argentinian political scandal, but this AP interview -- in which he continues to embarrass his wife and himself with a surplus of candor about what really should remain private -- could very well blow the whole scandal open again. Sanford is an introspective man and he clearly was (is?) in love with the woman with whom he was unfaithful. But if he wants to govern, it is well past time to move on.

Sanford finds himself in a hole and he needs to stop digging. Of course, he hasn't taken that advice in the past.
