mark sanford. "washington"washington is now next. -- "washington journal" is next. >> good morning, one headline today, "the tide turns against the public option on health care per cup in an interview airing this or our on abc, president barack obama says his administration is not being rigid or ideological about the health care issue. the chairman of the senate finance committee, max baucus, has set a 10:00 a.m. eastern deadline for to democrats and three democrats to respond to his proposal on health care. all this is setting the stage for tonight's prime-time address by the president, his second appearance before the joint session of congress since taking office trade it is wednesday morning, the night of december. . host: some details about what the president will be talking about here. he says will remains unclear is whether the president will insist on the government-backed public option to compete with private insurance companies, or compromise. there is again a reference to the abc "good mo

it's not how many of you know about mark sanford. everyone. so one of the arguments i make is what the press defines as scandal sometimes is the thing that suits their interest. as a commercial enterprise that are trying to hold an audience share. and what is truly scandalous because it really does represent really gross violations of appropriateness. or the things that become less interesting because they're more complicated. that would be one observation. but tucker, to pick up on your point, what are the things that you do when you go through a crisis or if you're ever caught in a position where you're a spokesman for someone who's facing that kind of allegation, i'll give you my mike mccurry five c's that i learned from my experience. now, some of you pulling out pens, if you write these down you'll be qualified to be white house press secretary. and i don't know if you want to do that. but let me start with the first c and the most important one, credibility. remember, the reason people get in trouble is because they dissemble and don't o

career of south carolina governor mark sanford. for your average conservative politician who had called for other politicians to resign for having affairs, who then themselves confessed in a rambling jet laggy press conference to his own affair, the pursuit of which led him to lie to his own staff and abandon his state for five days, for your average politician in that situation, that press conference itself or perhaps the expected resignation statement at the end of that press conference, would have been about as bad as it gets. that would have been the anvil hitting bedrock. but mark sanford chose not to resign, and has chosen since to keep talking about his affair and his view that he's an instrument of god, who understands sarah palin so much better now. and so for mark sanford, the anvil keeps falling. first his own republican lieutenant governor demanded that the governor resign. then 60 of the 71 republicans in the state legislature demanded that he resign. now the republican speaker of the house is demanding that mark sanfo
