After days of speculation as to where Governor Mark Sanford (everyone thought he was in the Appalachian Trail hiking) was he finally comes forward after a trip to Argentina that he is unfaithful. Is being a politician synonymous with infidelity these days?

The Media is going crazy over this story. They were able to get some of the emails he sent to his mistress:

From Gov. Sanford, Date: Thursday, July 10, 2008, 12:24 a.m. "One, tomorrow leave at 5 a.m. For New York and meetings. Will think about you on its streets and wish I was going to be there later in the month when you are there. Tomorrow night back to Philadelphia for the start of the National Governor's Conference through the weekend. Back to Columbia for Tuesday and then on Wednesday, as I think I had told you, taking the family to China, Tibet, Nepal, India, Thailand and then back through Hong Kong on world wind tour. Few days home then to Bahamas for 5 days on a friend's boat for the last break of the summer. The following weekend have been asked to spend it out in Aspen, Colorado with McCain - which has kicked up the whole VP talk all over again in the press back home ... Two, mutual feelings .... You have a particular grace and calm that I adore. You have a level of sophistication that so fitting with your beauty. I could digress and say that you have the ability to give magnificent gentle kisses, or that I love your tan lines or that I love the curve of your hips, the erotic beauty of you holding yourself (or two magnificent parts of yourself) in the faded glow of the night's light - but hey, that would be going into sexual details ... Three and finally, while all the things above are all too true - at the same time we are in a hopelessly - or as you put it impossible - or how about combine and simply say hopelessly impossible situation of love. How in the world this lightening strike snuck up on us I am still not quite sure. As I have said to you before I certainly had a special feeling about you from the first time we met, but these feelings were contained and I genuinely enjoyed our special friendship and the comparing of all too many personal notes ... Lastly I also suspect I feel a little vulnerable because this is ground I have never certainly never covered before - so if you have pearls of wisdom on how we figure all this out please let me know... In the meantime please sleep soundly knowing that despite the best efforts of my head my heart cries out for you, your voice, your body, the touch of your lips, the touch of your finger tips and an even deeper connection to your soul. |

This guy is a total idiot!
First off, how on earth can he possibly believe that he is smart enough to keep this thing going and the press not eventually find out about it. You are a senator. There are only a few of you in the whole country. You are watched. To top it all off, you just mention in the first paragraph that you are being considered for the VP spot on McCain's ticket! Knowing your name is on a short list, you still had no idea that this little affair might be some tasty fodder for at least the tabloids or the press you alluded to in the email? Either he is ridiculously stupid and thinks that he can do whatever he wants or he has a elevated view of himself that leaves him impervious to the recent trappings of other senators.
Secondly, that has got to be about the stupidest excuse for being gone I have ever heard. Goin to the Appalachian Trail...dont call me. DUDE, your cellphone has reception through large parts of the Appalachian Trail. Your Attorney General hates you and you had to know he was going to question your location and you give your staff this crap answer? Geez...why not just say you are headed to Mt Kilimanjaro. At least everyone would understand the lack of cellphone availability.
Lastly, how did let his emails get collected? False accounts Senator...false accounts
Hope he enjoys his infidelity, former job as a Senator and former family.
Is the entire Republican party trying to shoot itself in the foot?

The wife issued a long statement about this including her asking him to leave their home for a couple of weeks and that is why she did not know where he was. She did say she is open to resurrect the relationship. As for the Emails, the Argentine press says they had knowledge of the Emails for many months but waited to authenticate them.

Another cheating politician
Governor Mark Sanford of South Carolina, whose whereabouts were unknown earlier this week, admitted yesterday to having cheated on his wife. The affair was with a woman from Argentina, which doomed this relationship from the start. Really, how stupid do you have to be not only to cheat on your wife -- but to pick someone who lives as far away as Argentina? Glenn reacts to the news of the latest cheating politician. Ref. Source 3
Mark Sanford says he will not resign. Not only do politicians today shame themselves in the biggest way, they continue to dishonor their reputation by carrying on as though what they do is OK.
The woman in Argentina is actually a known reporter. This is the poor quality picture of her. Do you know who she is LDS_forever?
