Last week, Jack Hunter reported on the American Conservative’s top-dollar profile of Gov. Mark Sanford. It’s a bit of rock-solid reporting, and it’s jam-packed with one eye-opener after another.

Here’s what we we learned:
1. Sanford does not allow the air conditioner to be run at the governor’s mansion in Columbia.
2. During his childhood, his entire family slept in the same room, with his sister sleeping on the window seat.
3. He built his father’s coffin.
