I'm apologetic for doing it it was.

Deeply deeply hurtful to the people I care about the most.

It was something that I did that was just wrong and I regret.

I regret not being honest about this this was a big mistake tip.

I was embarrassed I was humiliated.

-- I'm still to this moment.

I was trying to protect my wife I was trying to protect myself and shame it was a mistake and I really and I really regret.

-- -- -- I thought he could outsmart the media with his lies but that didn't work no one has pulled the second story was well it's ridiculous.

And -- name -- pictures Heisman it was corner leaving him no choice but that tearful confession so -- what he's been ravaging your as a congressman for twelve years.

But -- constituents in colleagues -- our next guest knows.

We knew about Fox News political analyst piston -- joins -- good evening Houston.

Two got questions how do you know and number -- not should he stick around.

I've in front of friends of amber about ten years and ten years ago we -- very briefly and then we became friends and you know we were friends for along time and you know I haven't talked to him as much lately but you know he's he was always a very very good friend in this is really very painful to watch.

Should he stay or should he stepped down -- -- you know maybe even finish out his term and not run again.

Anyway you know what's -- standard we hold until does he get the same standard as Republicans get.

Well look you.

Now I have a standard that I stick to for everybody and then people can pull the tape from you know governor Sanford -- and -- -- the same thing about.

Anthony -- and his his situation you know it's between him and his wife this really is not have anything to do with his official capacity he has not broken any laws.

And Anna he's he's apologetic what he did obviously was wrong but now I -- I don't think he should resign and and I guess that I -- -- governor Sanford to -- he's a great congressman his constituents love him.

And it's up to them decide whether or not they want to have him come back she'll be up for reelection and and they and they can decide at that time.

Yeah -- review in the sense that they'll let that -- -- his wife but I guess I -- -- Along the lines of his constituents actually make that decision and they will make -- -- come election time.

But -- -- this is -- profoundly disappointing.

This isn't -- first -- not they only have we see this all the time.

And I guess the point is you know when do they learned how this was not to -- -- joke is he suggested.

In his press conference and on that began on -- the seems to be a much.

Deeper longer story.

Yeah out well.

Look I mean we've seen a lot of recklessness and -- you know people can psychoanalyze why people do it they.

-- now I mean I can get inside somebody's head to know why they did something but you know -- I do wanna say keep hearing that you know this is double standards it.

You know Democrats and Republicans -- David bitter cheated on his wife with a prostitute and he's still.

In the senate so you know if I'm I'm getting really tired of hearing this idea that somehow the Republicans come down so hard on their people.

You know if if other people have decided to.

-- -- after something like this that's their decision you know I think that Anthony made.

Obviously a very big mistake but it it is really a mistake that is between him and his wife and everybody getting up on a soapbox and and judging him.

You know I I don't think that that's really our place I think -- of the heat heat his job is to do a good job as a congressman which he does do.

You may have heard me -- there's sarcasm is trying to Rick clients Rick Klein said that -- better had also us up and another woman nice it was some degree of of sarcasm I think give bidders added that a city believe it clocked the prosecutor.

But found -- And I think that's Lisa what may be it sweet and if indeed there was a little bit more heat invest up to that one totally we haven't got medals glory -- The iPad but -- any thought any thought when that these sand that members of congress Iguodala -- learned her lesson that.

That inappropriate behavior is just that in a program.

I like you know I mean that people humans are flawed and that there's all sorts of stuff that goes on all the time that -- -- Is wrong people have affairs we have you know presidential candidates who have had affairs people who.

You know Rudy Giuliani or Newt Gingrich who who Republicans have no problem I know gathering around.

Who want of course flying is wrong but you know people always lie about these things eye to -- I was incredulous -- people say.

While it wasn't that the -- -- it's like not actually was the sax you know it's.

It actually was that the pictures are and -- he sent it acts that that really is the problem my name.

I'm not I'm not condone lying but I mean he was protecting his wife you know I mean he was trying to protect his marriage and his wife -- -- -- -- Protect himself but -- doing well yeah yeah yeah.

-- -- -- thank you can't.
