1 I'll tell you what the real travesty is here.  I just saw an advertisement on HA for "Sexy Arab Girls".

Are you effing telling me that ad couldn't run here?

2 Maybe he never really did have any presidential political aspirations. Could be the media and conservatives hyped it up for him, he was never interested at all.

3 Editor:  That's actually an ad for a goat farm in Biloxi, MS.

4 >>>Maybe he never really did have any presidential political aspirations. Could be the media and conservatives hyped it up for him, he was never interested at all.

Could be he did have presidential aspirations but knew what we didn't, that due to the affair he could never seriously run.

5 At least he didn't have "mrs" standing next to him. shep belongs on another network  -

6 So what does the mistress look like? That's what I want to know. 

The Argentinian stripper that "played with" Bill Clinton is teh hawt, especially when you consider Billie's usual standards.

7 In his press conference, he seemed more concerned about the mistress than his wife and sons.

8 His wife released a statement maybe an hour ago saying they had separated two weeks ago when she found out he was having an affair. She told him not to have any contact with her or her children and that's why she didn't know where he was.

I have repeatedly sent letters to FNC re: Shep Smith's retardedness. There should be a FNC boycott.

 

10 You know, he may have come clean really because he wants to be done with politics so he can go down to Argentina for good.

11 Tough week for C Street group ... bible study that Ensign and Sanford belong to.

12 So, is DeMint a shoe-in for the Governor's seat?

13 Mark Sanford has a strange way of telling us he has no aspirations re 2012...

15 The women in Argentina are smokin' hot; plus awesome fly fishing, snow skiing, hiking ... Patagonia is spectacular .. the ice cream is rich and creamy .. I say he goes for it

16 another RINO bites the dust.... too bad they aren't an endangered species.

17 How many lies did he make under oath?

18 His wife released a statement maybe an hour ago saying they had separated two weeks ago when she found out he was having an affair. She told him not to have any contact with her or her children and that's why she didn't know where he was.

Didn't he claim his wife found out 5 months ago?

What a dick.  I have an iron-clad policy in my house that when I find out my husband's banging an Argentian whore, that he is to immediate cease and desist all contact . . . not fly down to visit said whore on father's day.  But I'm strict about these sort of things.

Thank God we found out now.  Time to scratch that name off the list and move on.

19 Yeah, he's in love with the mistress.  Listen to that wistful '...it developed into something more.'  Ass.

20

He sure wasn't worried about his wife and SC while we were in Argentina.

21 Hey, Shep!

Kenneth, what is the frequency?

Kenneth, what is the frequency?

Kenneth, what is the frequency?

Damn.  My punk-stomping leg is getting tired.

22 Shep is just pissed cause he cant marry his boyfriend, Anderson Cooper, so he will take it out on the hypocritical heterosexual pol of the week: Gov Sanford who CAN marry.

ahh, nothing a good fisting cant solve Sheppie

23 Did I say I was on the Appalachian trail? I meant the Argentinian tail. My bad.

--Soon to be former Governor Sanford.

24 She probably threw his ass out two weeks ago after knowing about it for a while. 

A woman knows when her man's cheated.  She can smell it.

25 South Carolina can suck it.

26 check this out....clearly he just wants some argentine pussy.  can you blame him? you see his wife?


ohhhhh Maria Maria..............

The State gets hold of the very personal, at times pained correspondence between Mark Sanford and a woman named Maria in Buenos Aires:

"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," Sanford wrote last July.

27 The most annoying part of this story is reading the lefties on commentary blogs fulminate and spew the usual cliche, "See! Those bible-thumping Republicans who want to force their morality down our throats are nothing but lying hypocrits!!111eleventy11!!

Gawd, how I hate those vapid twits.

28

I still think this could be spun as reaching out to the Hot Latina community. I'm all for engaging in unlimited immigration for hot latinas.

 

29 The capacity for politicians to tell the truth once caught and exposed is one of the joys of life.

30 >>>Didn't he claim his wife found out 5 months ago?

Could be both, really. There may have been several incidences of "finding out." A wife can find out a guy is writing inapprorpriately to women on the internet before she discovers he's actually full-on cheated.

45 Dear Governor -

You want to do this kind of stuff - do it on your own time as a private citizen.  When you parade around the talk show circuit as the face of the new direction of the conservative movement, you better darn well watch your step and walk the walk.  If you want to sniff around Argentina, you better not link your cause to mine.  You only demean me and the battle I am  fighting.  I don't like that one little bit, and frankly I can't afford the luxury right now of your little heart-wrenching romantic middle age crisis.

46 I dunno if "dear friend" sounds like someone he's in love with. He probably just wants to figure out whether a reconciliation with his wife is possible before he takes definitive steps to break up with his mistress. Or: if he's telling the truth about spending some of that time in Argentina alone, he may not be really "with" the other woman. Could be that she is just a friend: the damage to his existing family relationships is probably at the top of his mind right now.

The press and his political opponents broke this story before he had a chance to figure out what was going on in his marriage.

So he's confused right now, and there won't be much he can tell the press until he and his wife figure it out themselves.

The reason for coming clean in unfortunate detail is to get in front of the story so he can tough it out.

He's going to be out in a few weeks (max) anyway, it's South Carolina for God's sake. Might as well just do what he's got to do and live his life.

Oh, my good lord. I want one. Republicans should pick this up and run with it. Unlimited immigration for hot latinas. Hell, buy 'em a ticket. That would ensure the 12 to 99 y.o. male vote for the next century. All of it.

But why stop there? Sponsor the Hot Chick Legalization and Polyamory Act of 2009. Hot Iranian girls can come too. They have to be screened by the Marines guarding the embassies, though, not the beta-male ambassadors.

I think it'd be a winner.

 

82 y not, there is a lot of stuff out there on the internet about how well those two get along, not.  Andre is apparently 38 and single.

83 That's pretty fucked up for them to print those letters.  How about a bit of editorial discretion?

84
Being an Argentinian, the girl may not be a Latina, of Spanish descent. More likely of Italian or Scottish descent, maybe even German. Argentinians pride themselves as being the only "European" nation in South America. The non-Spanish (no-Latino) look down on people of Spanish descent and even more on Mestizo. I learned all this from an Argentinian girlfriend of Italian descent. 

85

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)

Well, Mr. Sanford, since we cannot vote for you for president any longer, we, too, would like to enjoy the curve of your girlfriend's hips, her tan-lines, and, perhaps we're being a bit selfish here, even her holding her two magnificent something-or-others.  Care to post a pic, Mr. Sanford?  Isn't that the least you can do for us?

Sleeze, slime and whores are the only people with the time to kiss as many a**e* as politicians do. The current president is not exempt, he had his martial problems and the truth has never been told about that, and he's too big a liar to ever tell the truth about anything.

90 Was just thinking, wonder how long it is going to take for wealthy Americans to begin moving lock, stock and barrel to sourth America or Asia?   Maybe he was just ahead of the curve?

And yet Obama's birth certificate and college transcripts remain out of the newspapers.

97 Well, that's too bad.  I was actually looking forward to a Sanford run for the presidency, what with his defiant opposition to the stimulus and all.  Too bad for the kids, too bad for the wife, too bad for South Carolina, too bad all around.

And of course we have to put up with the gloating.

AHFF is right, we should not place our faith in politicians at all, R's or D's.  The only salvation that exists is the one we create for ourselves.

101 Wow, publishing those emails is low.  Quick, too. Almost like they were handily available...

Email from his Governor's email account?  We should all be thankful this fool has been exposed.  Coulda been alot worse.

102 This man is very much in the thralls of public sin — he’s perfectly clear and perfectly confused at one and the same time — showing decision and indecision with equal decisiveness. He cited “God’s law,” yet he refused to call it “adultery.” He apologized and asked forgiveness, but his statement was cold, clinical, and remorseless. He talked about working through it, but he left the distinct impression that he intended to work through the details of dissolving his marriage as he tried to repair his relationship with his children, as he kept the hot tamale on the side. It was clear that he wanted the best of both worlds — his personal family life (children) as well as his new lover — and that he cared nothing for his wife, except that she may be feeling some pain at the moment.

What a cad.

103
What I said above #84 ... I'm not sure but I think Argentinians of Italian descent may actually be the majority ethnic group. As I said, lots and lots of Scots too. Somehow the non-Spanish Argentinians convinced themselves that the Spanish don't really count as Europeans at least not the South American Spanish. And the elites really despise people of mixed i.e. mestizo blood. But there aren't many of those in Argentina because the Europeans totally wiped out the indigenous peoples of Argentina in the 18th century. I mean TOTALLY. There zippo, nada, zilch Indians in Argentina. Which come to think is probably why they can get away with saying they are the most truly European country in South America. Again this is all according to my Argentian/Italian ex-girlfriend.

104 What a cad.

He's probably been rehearsing those words in his head every time he flew back from Argentina, knowing that he'd get caught some day.

105 This from Hot Air:

Don’t be too hard on Waffles. His humor’s always been laced with nastiness, which is why he periodically finds himself in clusterfarks over “botched jokes.” It’s not that he hates Palin. He’s just a jerk.

The Bay State senator was telling a group of business and civic leaders in town at his invitation about the “bizarre’’ tale of how South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford had “disappeared for four days’’ and claimed to be hiking along the Appalachian Trail, but no one was really certain of his whereabouts.

“Too bad,’’ Kerry said, “if a governor had to go missing it couldn’t have been the governor of Alaska. You know, Sarah Palin.’’

The Democratic-centric crowd laughed.

106 I have no job, the economy is getting worse, Obama is ramming medicine run by incompetent hacks down our throats, taxing anything that isn't a liberal millionaire, and bowing to dictators who plan our deaths.

But please DemSM, tell me everything about Sanford, that's all that matters to me.

107 So he is the male Hester Prynne.   This stuff is coming out way too fast, almost in a controlled orchestrated fashion, makes you really suspicious.

108 P.S. my Argentinian/Italian ex-girlfriend was really hot. Too bad she dumped me.

109 "Leaked by whom?"

Wife who found it.

Or, my most likely--

Wife who was given it by tech savvy son or daughter.

110 Romney is looking pretty good right now.

111 @106 "But please DemSM, tell me everything about Sanford, that's all that matters to me."

Hey! Whattabout us!

112

Just heard Charles Krauthammer say this is almost purposefully political suicide. I agree. I was thinking the same thing 2 days ago when it came out he was "missing."  I think he is so freaked over this chick he can't think about anything else. I say he should resign this week, divorce, and head South of the Border ASAP. Might as well be happy, life sucks enuff as it is.

Gov. Palin said that God would open the doors she needed to go thru. She just didn't know the door would be held by an Argentinian babe (with great tan lines).

113 "Dearest,

This morning finds me wracked with anguish at the thought of our separation. I have but the memory of you holding your glorious titties in the sunset to sustain me. That, and that thing you did with your tongue. That was awesome.

Sticking your finger in me was not awesome, but hey, that's how we learn. And I am learning things about myself since we've met that I never noticed.

Like hey, did it always look like someone flung oatmeal across my dick, or is that new? So many questions, my love, and I await the writing of our next chapter in this crazy book your people call Amor."

-excerpted from Sanford's emails

114 @110 "Romney is looking pretty good right now."

At NRO Corner Rich Lowry is suggesting (jokingly) that by 2012 it'll be Romney by default.

115 Those emails between Sanford and his mistress remind me of the taped phone calls between Prince Charles and his paramour (at that time) Camilla..they were graphic, intimate and very embarrassing.

116 OK, *now* can we drive a stake through the caricature that the GOP has become? Please?

117 He only has sons and don't you think the kid(s) if they found such emails wouldn't tell the mom, being highly conflicted about their allegiance to both mom and dad?  And what about the allusions on clusterstock to a state legislator who revamped their site in the last 48 hours removing everything relating to her and the governor?  And what about the comments about the DNC over there?  And what about the read between those lines comments at dealbreaker the other day when this initially broke.   This doesn't feel right.

118 This stuff is coming out way too fast, almost in a controlled orchestrated fashion, makes you really suspicious.

I'd assume it was from his wife, egged on by her divorce lawyer, but I thought it was illegal to release other people's emails... so I don't know that an atty would advise someone to do that.

Scenario 1: Wife caught him, gave him an ultimatum with a deadline, he stalled (blaming the budget wrangling), then he tried to punt so she exposed it

Scenario 2: Political enemy got wind of this (either through blabbing wife or a staffer - I'm sure at least one staffer knew about the affair) and released

If it's #2, I hope the enemy was a Democrat. I'd hate to think that a Republican would do something like this when it's so important that the party be strong enough to oppose Obama.

119 Awesome! I just googled "mark sanford evolution" and the first hit is a blog titled "Getting into Bed with Gov. Mark Sanford?" that whacks the Ron Paulbots as well.

120 As for the wife knowing, he was going to Argentina.Uhhh, passport. She knew 5 mos ago(or longer). She just realized he was not giving this chick up 2 weeks ago. Scout was right, we always know, most women just like to pretend they don't. Also, can someone send Shep to Iran? I would love to see him get clubbed.

121 >>120 As for the wife knowing, he was going to Argentina.Uhhh, passport.

I think she knew where he was, but not because of the passport. I have no idea where my husband's passport is -- could be in our safe deposit box or at work.

You know who this benefits?

123 Another day of feeling x-treme dread for our nation's future.

124 If you look at the wife's career, this is no faint of heart type.  She managed all his political campaigns and he never lost.  Maybe the presidency was her script but not his?  She just doesn't seem to be the wholly vindictive "I've made him now I"m going to unmake him" type.  She seems like a lovely woman raising 4 boys and doing amazing charity work.  So don't think it was her releasing his personal emails, she seems like the type that would understand with her brain even if her heart was being ripped to shreds.  Wonder if anything else is going to come out?

125 107 muffy

Hester Prynne is not an apt comparison for Gov. Sanford.  Hester thought her husband was dead when she had her affair, and they had no children together.

120. di butler

The governor appears addicted to the rush of his affair.  Love is not about "feelings"; it's about commitment.  Any relationship based on betrayal and dishonesty doesn't have a rosy future--nor should it.

126

God I don't want to hear about Romney. He benefits from having more time than any other candidate to remember facts, that is all. There is no criticism of this man at all, which is amazing considering his flip-flops. Here's Rush on Sanford.

He sure does seem like the weak one in the relationship.

I assume that since she is an heiress, not to mention the aggrieved party, she doesn't have to play hardball in the divorce. That, coupled with your observations, suggests it was a political enemy.

What a mess.

129 >>127 Will the children of America get to see an honorable man in public office?

At least they get to see an honorable woman.

Of course falling Republicans are likely to be replaced by a never-ending-stream of other ones, but like in any "war" eliminating the oppositions leadership is key.

If you're a Dem, eliminating Sanford is a prize, because he was leader of the Republican Governors, a real fiscal conservative, and a pain in Obama's ass.

131 Never let a crisis keep you from making a total ass of yourself

132 "Sort of insane."  You don't need to be a psychiatrist like Krauthammer to make that diagnosis.

133 There are still 21 other GOP governors left - no politician is indispensable.

The party will go on.

And there's always Romney.

134 Here's Rush on Sanford.

Thanks for that link.  Very interesting and perspective.

 He says, "He could have been our JFK."  Well, he's halfway there, Rush-- apparently screwing everything that moves.

135
Right. This is the time to shit on Mitt Romney.

Our field is dwindling by the day, but fuck it. Let's start weeding out the bad apples. Fuck Romney, he's a RINO. Forget Rudy, he's a RINO. Jindal sucks, too.

Let's trash all our potential candidates so the Democrats don't have to. Brilliant!

136 "perCEPTive," sorry

137 His wife leaked the emails.  Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.  Notice when she was asked where he was, she said she didn't know....instead of covering for him?  She wants that sucker to paaaaaaaaay.

Her statement said that she agreed to the separation as a way to strengthen the marriage...pfft!  If that is the case, then why not try to cover for him instead of the mysterious, "I don't know where he is and I am not worried".  She decided it was time he own up...she just helped it along. 

That is why I knew there was some scandal here..the wife didn't know where he was? 

Had to be another woman involved...or a dead hooker.

He is an idiot.  Does he not pay attention to what happens to other politicians when they are caught with their pants down? 

138 #135 -  No, no. I happen to like Palin, Jindal and Cantor. I am sure they all have their flaws (who doesn't) but if they have any political career killing secrets, let's have it out now, instead of in 2011. By 2011, no one will even remember Sanford. As for Romney, I am a little cautious about him but who knows, by 2011/12 our economy might be in such dire straits that a savvy businessman like Romney might be very appealing to conservatives and independants.

139 Reading his e-mails almost made ME want to fuck this guy...

140 #137

When emotions run high (or when the dick gets involved) judgment goes out the window.

141 It just kills me that he mentioned his wife and sons third as people he's hurt ... and he mentioned her first. If this is a love affair rather than a lust affair, I suppose it does show him in a slightly better public light. But to his family, it has to make it worse. If you're his wife or one of his sons, you've got to feel like you're coming in a distant second place right now.

And speaking of his sons ... I think one of the things that makes it worse when politicians and other public figures cheat (vs. the no-names in the general citizenry) is the stigma their families live with. In South Carolina, his sons are always going to be known as the kids whose dad flew to Argentina to be with his mistress on Father's Day ... then embarrassingly went on and on about it to the media. I don't know how old his sons are, but they'll probably have to deal with the effects of this at least throughout their elementary and high school years. Poor kids.

142 He's history both politically and business-wise.  His real estate company wasn't doing all that well before he went into politics, and he doesn't stand a chance against the established real estate developers/investors in Charleston.

143

@ 135

If they're losers (aka RINOs) they *need* to be trashed.

GOP is and should be, dead.  We need to start over.

144 28 I still think this could be spun as reaching out to the Hot Latina community. I'm all for engaging in unlimited immigration for hot latinas.  Posted by: Jonathon E. at June 24, 2009 05:11 PM (dQdrY)   You're right. Republicans finally start reaching out to hispanics, and suddenly it's this big scandal. we just can't win.

145 Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned

Then you're not scorning 'em right. They should be too busy being curled up in a ball in the bathtub, clutching their knees and rocking back and forth, crying and shivering to get up to any of that fury shit.

146 125: "The governor appears addicted to the rush of his affair."

You're right. Hearing him at the press conference, it sounded more like he was telling his best friend about how he met the love of his life; how their meaningful friendship blossomed into true love.

What a turd.

147

I think sons might be willing to share with their mom incriminating things they find out about Dad. It's been my experience with my son so far and also knowing women with adult sons, that there is a bond between a mother and a son that is very strong. That said, I don't know how old her boys are so I sure hope known of them found the e-mails because I'd feel very sorry for them.

If the leak was the wife, that's some awesome vindictiveness right there, her ideas intrigue me and I'd like to subscribe to her newsletter.

And, as to his e-mails themselves, too much information and too reminiscent of the e-mails my ex-husband wrote to his little dish on the side (that were found by her husband and shared with me).

148

#124 She managed all his political campaigns and he never lost.  Maybe the presidency was her script but not his?

What I heard this morning from an SC caller on either Rush or Beck was that she actually endorsed the Lt Governor instead of him for the Governor spot.  Of course, she might have known he was on the prowl at that point, but I don't think she was entirely on his side when this started coming out.

149 I wonder how attractive his Argentinian piece of ass is going to find him after he's ruined politically and financially.

150 If this was his "close friend" what suddenly made this go from close friend for 8 years? to hot lover?  Oh I hope it wasn't helped along by his opposition to the stimulus.

151 NOW YOU KNOW WHY McCAIN DID NOT CHOOSE HIM.

152 147. ParanoidGirlInSeattle

First, please accept my sympathy for the pain your felt.  I've been there, too. 

Secondly, my boys were the ones to suspect and find the evidence.  Boys won't stand for anyone hurting their mother, ESPECIALLY the man they've loved and admired.  I've taken the high road, and I believe Mrs. Sanford has, too:  I can't believe should would subject her children to the shame of having their father's emails published.  I know I wouldn't do that.

153 personally i hope he leaves the governors mansion, dumps the wife and kids, and runs away to argentina with his lady love to live happily ever after.

154 I simply must say, I have no sympathy for these scumbags who cheat on their wives at all! Cheating doesn't "start innocently" and it doesn't "just happen." Cheating takes concerted effort.

Sanford is a piece of shit, just like Edwards et al.

155 #118

If it's #2, I hope the enemy was a Democrat. I'd hate to think that a Republican would do something like this when it's so important that the party be strong enough to oppose Obama.

I disagree.  Politically speaking, whoever leaked those emails did the Republicans a favor.  Think if this guy ran for Prez, won the nomination, and then his affair came to light.  You know the affair would have eventually come out...they always do.

156 "I wonder how attractive his Argentinian piece of ass is going to find him after he's ruined politically and financially."

Why am I now thinking of the guy who hangs himself in An Officer and A Gentleman?  I hope not, but I'd be concerned that as obviously unhinged as Sanford has demonstrated himself to be, anything's possible.

157 Yeah he is lost for that chick, but will she still like/love/lust/desire
without his power?

158 An Argentine for Sanford....a Brazilian for Romney. The cost is managable so far, but I'm afraid I can't afford a hooker willing to bang the Arkansas Huckster.

159 Shep is about to cream is jeans waiting to re-air the presser in full.  He's probably cleaning the pipes during the commercial so he doesn't get visibly aroused on camera after the presser replay is over.

160 154. Hucbald

I so agree.

161 I disagree.  Politically speaking, whoever leaked those emails did the Republicans a favor.  Think if this guy ran for Prez, won the nomination, and then his affair came to light.  You know the affair would have eventually come out...they always do.

Yeah, the GOP dodged a bullet here. There'll be other potential Presidential and VP candidates hopefully with less obvious baggage.

162 145 Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned

Then you're not scorning 'em right. They should be too busy being curled up in a ball in the bathtub, clutching their knees and rocking back and forth, crying and shivering to get up to any of that fury shit.


hee hee hee - I bet this is what he will be doing tonight.

163 161 "Yeah, the GOP dodged a bullet here. There'll be other potential Presidential and VP candidates hopefully with less obvious baggage."

And with more character and honor.

164 I've had flings with married men. It sounds like he would have gone on and on with his wife and his plato lateral, and he was really in love with her gazoongas. Sounds like home life wasn't ideal, and he was very lonly, too. Sad, but stupid.

165 @161 "There'll be other potential Presidential and VP candidates hopefully with less obvious baggage."

Agreed. Someone will arise from seemingly out of nowhere, just like Obama did at the DNC convention to "wow" the world. A year from now no one will give Shit One about Mark Sanford.

166 >>Politically speaking, whoever leaked those emails did the Republicans a favor.

Not right now.

Look, right now he's a prominent governor who was actually standing up to Obama. In a couple of years, he wouldn't even be a governor, so I don't know how good his chances would be for President... but, in any event, it was premature to "vet" him. We don't even know if Obama will be vulnerable in 2012, so why worry about GOP candidates. What we do know, is that RIGHT NOW he's damaging the country (and the world).

Since a media outlet was sitting on the emails, I suppose the third possibility is that the "leak" really was just reporters blabbing to each other, with perhaps some coordination from the WH dirty tricks office.

167 Could be he did have presidential aspirations but knew what we didn't, that due to the affair he could never seriously run.

Bingo, Ace.

168 I hate Shep Smith...it boggles the mind that he has a show on FNC, let alone two! Ugh...he's on right now.

169 >>145 Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned

Well, I do think it's funny that she kicked him out of the house (I assume, the governor's mansion) but contends that she was trying to keep it quiet.

Anyhoo, stories like this make me very grateful I married a good man.

170 not fly down to visit said whore on father's day.  But I'm strict about these sort of things.

Balthazar Getty was banging Sienna Miller (again) in Positano on Father's Day. Who are theses assholes? At least keep it together for the kids on the big day.

171 @169: Good girl!

Uhhh... You are female... right???

(To think we've reached the day one need ask! The world has gpne looneytoon crazy)

172   You're right. Republicans finally start reaching out to hispanics, and suddenly it's this big scandal. we just can't win.

Posted by: exceller at June 24, 2009 06:12 PM (6beBT)

I've always been for closer cross-cultural relations with hot immigrant ladies. I'm very broad minded.

173 @172:

Maybe Sanford went to Argentina to study a broad?

174

He is kind of pathetic.  I'm thinking some kind of serious mental stress.  Duh!

Has he never heard of Prozac??

175

#165 Someone will arise from seemingly out of nowhere, just like Obama did at the DNC convention to "wow" the world.

The difference being, a Republican unknown will have the MSM horde devoted to uncovering anything that can be made to appear like a scandal, regardless of whether it actually happened or not (If it actually happened, that's a bonus for the MSM, but it's not a requirement).  For an example, see Palin, Sarah. 

176 He's in for a rude awakening. When he's unelectable and out of power, he'll see how exciting a middle-aged unemployable man is to Argentinian hotties.

177

My dislike of Shepard Smith is becoming outright loathing.

On the other hand . . . here's what I did for Father's Day.  Spent the day with my family, got a couple of books and a new desk clock from the wife and kids, and then we all went to dinner with my parents.

Sanford observed Father's Day by jetting to Argentina for some action with his hot-blooded Latina mistress.

Honestly.  How smart do you have to be?  EPIC FAIL doesn't even begin to describe it.

178 Well, as shitty as this is, I'm just glad that it turned out to be an Argentine Tango rather than Brokeback Appalachia.

179 Sorry guys, I meant to shoot the Sotomayor arrow, but I pulled out Sanford from my S quiver. I gotta get organized.

180

He's in for a rude awakening. When he's unelectable and out of power, he'll see how exciting a middle-aged unemployable man is to Argentinian hotties.

There is always the green card thing. He could still get some good times. That is another reason for the Hottie Immigration Reform Act of 2009. You'll know she really loves you if she already has a green card.

181 >>171 @169: Good girl!
>>
>>Uhhh... You are female... right???

Yep!

182

Romney / Petreus '12

Or that governor from Indiana / Petreus.

Is there something wrong with Barbour? Why doesn't his name come up more often?

Sanford never wanted the POTUS job.  He's said so publicly and repeatedly. 

 

183

I agree with Girl Thursday. He was far more interested in explaining the affection and respect he had for his mistress than in explaining his regret and shame at having betrayed his wife and sons.

Wasn't Sunday Father's Day?

Frankly, the whole damned press conference creeped me out. If someone wants to fuck around, get a divorce. I don't give a shit whether you're the President, the Governor, a Senator, or the fucking lawn guy who mows the grass each week.

Sanford isn't one bit sorry about what he did. He's damned sorry he got caught.

My opinion: He should GTFO!

184 122 Romney is looking pretty good right now.

Never mind all that. The only man you can trust . . . is a woman.

Sarah Palin 2012. Nothing less.

185 27 The most annoying part of this story is reading the lefties on commentary blogs fulminate and spew the usual cliche, "See! Those bible-thumping Republicans who want to force their morality down our throats are nothing but lying hypocrits!!111eleventy11!!

You'd think the hypocrisy charge would apply to Democrats not paying their taxes, but alas, Democrats are even hypocritical when it comes to hypocrisy.

186 the other coyote:

Is there something wrong with Barbour? Why doesn't his name come up more often?

Barbour is in New Hampshire today.

A Southern governor comes to a fundraiser in NH for one reason and one reason only.

187

Imagine the changes around DC when President Palin hands the first husband an M16, lots of ammo, and a pardon for all leftys he can bag during her first 100 days. That would be good theater.

My name is Todd. You dissed my wife. Now prepare to die.

Good times.

188 The State newspaper had copies of those emails for 6 months and sat on them, Must have been those damn liberals again in the MSM.

189 I just love those dreamy leaked emails. Sigh.....

190 Dear Governor Sanford,

Thank you for your lovely present. I always knew I could rely on Republicans like you to distract the press when I most need it. Michelle and I wish to send you a condolence tube of KY jelly. Please forward us your new address as you will be leaving your state's capitol soon.

Best wishes for your future in the Colin Powell wing of the party,

Barry, Lord of the Flyswatters
The "White" Palace
Washington, DC

191 Here is how I see it, and should be an ad in 2010 elections

"We fuck, they steal. Who do you trust more?"


This is my final word on this, I think.

I don't think this story is finished. I have a feeling she threatened to out him or something like that, just like Ensign and he ran down to Argentina to try and talk her out of it and couldn't do it so he came clean.

192

Er, as many of the morons know, I have some knowledge of Carolina politics.  My sources tell me the guy has been fucking around for two years.  Not this ho, a girl he went to college with.

Obviously, he married Jenny for her money and brains, she must not be giving it up, or he is just a dickhead cheater.

I am going with dickhead cheater.

AMF, that would be adios MF.

Oh, and if he doesn't resign, he will be impeached. He has no friends GOP or Dem. He's toast!

Kemp

193

the day has come where i have been completely vindicated! (again)

i always said sanford was a fake and a complete (non aosHQ) moron.

i'm starting to feel bad for those who believe the gop is gearing up for anything but another beating. 

194 #193
Perhaps "GOP" stands for "Grand Old Philanderer."

195 >>188 The State newspaper had copies of those emails for 6
>>months and sat on them, Must have been those damn liberals
>> again in the MSM.

I don't think that's compelling one way or the other. What is clear is that Obama is slipping... badly... and that a distraction right now is certainly helpful. 6 months ago, we were still in the balloon drop stage of his presidency.

196
Way to go out on a limb there, evil libertarian.

The probability of any politician being guilty of some bad behavior is only, oh, 90%.

197 Hey ACE -

If Sarkosy could get rid of a wife and marry a mistress while being the president of France, why can't this guy get rid of a wife and kids and marry the Argentina babe?

If he's going to salvage something, he needs to marry the A/b quick after an even quicker divorce so it seems like LOVE is IN THE AIR.

Save him.
Shove the embarrassed ex in the background of the story.
If the Argentina babe is pretty - its a twofer for the photo ops and LOVE, which anyone will forgive.

Except maybe Newt.
Or every other republican that has divorced and remarried.

198 "I think this actually hurts Sanford all the more. I think a lot of people are more forgiving of Clinton-style use-'em-and-lose-'em predations than they are of this guy falling in love."

Well, I would disagree with that.  I think people more throw up their hands when somebody gets bitten this bad with the love bug, as there's nothing you can really do.

Whereas someone who just cats around as a way of life - that's not something that is easy to forgive.

If forgive is even the right word.  "Understand" may be a better word.

Or maybe it's a male vs female point of view thing? 

As a female, if this were my guy, I'd figure he apparently couldn't help it, and I might as well give up and go find someone better.  Why stay with a guy who loves someone else more and is pining for someone else? But if he were having affairs as a recreational sport, that I would never forgive.  I'd kick him out then, too, of course, but with less sympathy.

In any case, Sanford has obviously gone off his rocker, jumped the shark, whatever you want to call it - but is not mentally stable, judging by his politically suicidal actions (as Krauthammer put it).

199 Thank God I'm no Republican. Nosiree.

200 P.S.  I can't stand Shepherd Smith.

201
If he kills her, he could become a senator.

Food for thought.

202 THE SHADY LADY FROM ARGENTINA!

203

Newsflash to the MSM:

He's a politician.  If he isn't having an affair with someone, he's stealing money.  Seriously, how the f*ck is this news?

If it were a Dem, they'd practically be playing "Love is In the Air"....

Personally I think Sanford should have done what that Italian PM did.  Owned it, bragged about it, and shrugged.

204

His emails will have women across the country swooning.

He will need a new line of work so how about romance novelist?

 

I admit I was angry until I read the emails.

 

How can you hate a man who can write like that?

 

205

How can you hate a man who can write like that?

Well, actually it's rather easy if you are the wife he's cheating on. Thank God my ex-husband's mushy e-mails weren't splashed all over the media.

Though at least Sanford's was better than Prince Charles and the "tampon" imagery.

206 Wow, a high profile politician boinking some tart - total shocker that.

It is a relief that there won't be any downstream gay scandals involving this guy now though.  All of that shit just got put to bed.

207 I liked his fiscal conservatism but I never thought he was presidential material. Just didn't have the personality. Better that this come out now instead of two and a half from now after people had already invested time and money into a campaign, assuming that he was going to run, and who knows if that's even a reasonable assumption.

208 Well, actually it's rather easy if you are the wife he's cheating on. Thank God my ex-husband's mushy e-mails weren't splashed all over the media.

Through family and friends, I've seen the emails of a couple of cheating husbands and they were all to a one completely cringe-inducing. Guys if you must cheat, please keep it offline and avoid the further humiliation.

209
If Sanford is stupid enough to pull this nonsense, then it stands to reason that he did more stupid shit that we don't know about yet.

Photos, sex videos...

210 204 - "How can you hate a man who can write like that?"

You mean in run-on sentences?

211 Hey I bet Monty can write some doozys, come on Monty give it a whirl.

212 Something Positive presents "Press Confessional Bingo": http://www.somethingpositive.net/sp06242009.shtml

And if you don't like bingo, it would make a nice drinking game, too. Although I think I'd have some respect for "I'd like to apologize to my staff, but if they'd lied better I wouldn't be in this situation."

213

His emails will have women across the country swooning.

His emails are making it hard to hold down dinner. Of course, my kids are down a grandfather because because my father-in-law ditched when my husband was two.

214

This is one of those times I feel sorry for everybody, even that fool Sanford, because, you're right, it seems he fell and fell hard (apparently so did she).  BUT, it's clear from the emails that he would have accepted the vice presidential slot had it been offered (wonder if Mac's people uncovered the affair during the vetting process). What a freakin' mess that would have been (deja vu John Edwards). What the hell could he have been thinking??

Billy Graham (among others) did not allow himself to be alone with a woman other than his wife. Not only did that protect him from false allegations, but it also protected him from that moment when everything is set in motion (and most people can pinpoint the moment). It's something our politicians might consider. Or maybe we should just get down with the French and Italians and celebrate studliness of men.

 

215 For the record, I think Sanford's wife tipped the press.

216 umm... Nobody is mentioning that he stayed several days after everyone started asking questions.  He wasn't hiking.

217

26 check this out....clearly he just wants some argentine pussy.  can you blame him? you see his wife?

Jenny is no Sarah Palin, but Mark Sanford is no Todd either.

218 Way to go out on a limb there, evil libertarian.

i only bought it up because i went after sanford on several right leaning blogs and was attacked for it, but if you want to accept scumbags like sanford fine. 

219 1. Agree that Shepard Smith is an asshole
2. I liked Sanford and I thought he would make a good candidate for POTUS along with SC Senator Jim DeMint and I am sorry he fucked up so badly. The less said about the other SC senator Miss Lindsey Graham the better.
3. Did this guy really thin he could disappear for 4 days and nobody would notice it?

220 If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
If being right means being without you
I'd rather live a wrong doing life
Your mama and daddy say it's a shame
It's a downright disgrace
Long as I got you by my side
I don't care what your people say

Your friends tell you there's no future
In loving a married man
If I can't see you when I want to
I'll see you when I can
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right

221 I wonder what people would be saying if he was Martha sanford and not Mark?

222 NO, he'll NEVER live this down. He ran off. He left the country...even, and informed no one on his staff. He made a vague lie to cover himself, for others to lie with, but the worst of it is they actually had to employ the services of state police to try and locate him. THey had to check cell-phone pings. They had to interview a federal officer/agent who had spotted him at the airport. They tracked a state car - not his usual , just one he "borrowed" for unofficial busines to the Atlanta airport.

Then he lied on top of lies. When his Argentina trip was cut short he tried lamely to get the curious press to simmer down with the oddest claim - that he spent his trip driving up and down the coast of Argentina. The is ONE coastal road and it is two miles long. Plus who goes to Argentina to go "driving". It didn't make any sense. If he just wanted to hit the road he could have seen the USA in his chevrolet,

His love is this weird narcissistic fantasy, arising out incontinent emotional unsteadiness; he incontinent in character and unrealistic.

He skipped out of his obligations and that should be enough to ruin him.

223 After you get over the initial shock, you think to yourself, "how could he skip out on those 4 boys on Father's Day Weekend?"  I know some will say "well she threw him out and said "don't contact us"  but, that may have been in the heat of anger, probably for Father's Day she may have softened and he could have spent time with his boys.  Wonder if he even tried or if he used the situation to his advantage?

224 haven't had time to watch the whole presser, have just seen parts, but he sort of doesn't seem to care about his career one bit.

225

Gov. Sanford acted like an idiot.  He did a terribly destructive and irresponsible thing by engaging in the affair and by going off on a foreign jaunt with no way for his staff to reach him.  He's a chief executive of a state - not a dime-a-dozen state legislator. 

That said, I can't find it in my heart to despise the guy.  He was a good financial conservative and seems to be a generally decent guy besides this enormous failing.  Ace's read of the situation strikes me as accurate.  Gov. Sanford fell in love with this woman and isn't ready to toss her away regardless of what it does to his job.  He should try to reconcile with his wife, but it sounds like that's not likely to happen.  I'm glad to see he didn't flush his family and career for the sake of a meaningless fling or a tryst with a prostitute.  The really sad thing is that his foolish trip and painful press conference are plunging his wife and kids into media Hell.  They don't deserve that. 

226 I have not watched Shep since he put the baseball hat on backwards in "Nawlins." 'Cause (as a southern boy himself) he is so Nawln-edgable. "Tens of thousands are dead! Can you hear us Mr. President." Then, at a Jason's Deli in Memphis (introducing my six year old son to soon to be Senator Corker) I touched Shep's side so my son could meet a bone fide celeb and I felt, beneath his suit, a, how shall I say, foundation garment. Yeee-uck.

227 This woman finds the emails not swoon-inducing but barf-inducing.  It's all about him - whatever his issues, he turned his back on them on Father's Day.  Swine.

His love is this weird narcissistic fantasy, arising out incontinent emotional unsteadiness; he incontinent in character and unrealistic.

He skipped out of his obligations and that should be enough to ruin him. Posted by: SarahW

229 Too bad women never cheat on men. I hope that reads sarcastic enough.

Anyway I liked the republicans better when they demanded these guys resign. I used to be able to defend these things by pointing out that our guys were purged while the dems promoted their scandle guys. I can't do that now because these fuckers won't do the right thing.

I'm talking to you Ensign, Vitter and Sanford.

230 This is one of the funniest comments I've read today (I would have said so on the site but, for some inexplicable reason, I'm not able to post to the site), well anyway, here's the comment:  "I'm jus ticked because it wasn't an American broad. What's wrong with these people???  Damned imports are ruining everything! ; )"

231 My sympathies to his wife, his kids, his family, friends, and to SC.

To him, not so much.

Don't get your dick caught in the door on the way out.

232 Thank goodness the lace wigs are here.  They open up a whole new dimension of sensuality.   Uh, I read that some place.

233 I have an idea for Sanford to save his political career. Switch parties!!!!!!!! Once you're a Democrat you can kill someone, be a member of the KKK, have your gay boyfriend run a prostitution ring out of your apartment, have sex with underage children, have a family member convicted of bribery, steal elections, befriend terrorists, commit massive campaign finance laws, steal and destroy national security memos, leak damaging national security secrets, commit perjury, take kickbacks, fire people investigating your party, ally yourselves with enemies of your country and never once pay any price for your misdeeds.

234 He's a guy + a chance for some strange pussy = all you need to know.

235 First:

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 ...

Now Sanford's wife Jenny

Pretty hot woman considering her age and the fact she has had 4 sons.

What's the problem? Or should I say problems?

Yeah, you got it. You see this all the time, middle aged women go over the top with the diet. Don't do it ladies. The sexiest parts of a women are made up of fat.
As long as the waist is smaller than the hips and bust men will go for the "fat" every time. It may be a great burst to your ego to boast to your friends how you are a size 4 again but there aren't many guys who are going to appreciate the costs.

Does this excuse what Sanford did? No he's a cheating scumbag but that doesn't change reality here.

236 Below are excerpts of e-mails, obtained by The State newspaper in December, between Gov. Mark Sanford's personal e-mail account and Maria, a woman in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

One thing I would like to know here is how the hell this is legal?
I am fairly certain neither Sanford or "Maria" gave permission for these to be published. This is a personal e-mail account. How can it be legal for them to publish these? Has the wife already filed for divorce and these are evidence or something? Calling Gabriel Malor!

237 Rocks, Gabe said in another thread that he ws going to see Transformers.  So you probably won't get your answer till he returns.  But great questions.

238 While he might be forced to resign over concern that he can no longer execute his job as Governor under this scandal, that's not necessarily true.

Its not clear to me that Sanford can be impeached over this. . what crime did he commit?

Running away and not telling anyone where you are (or lying about it) is irresponsible, but as far as I know its not illegal.

239 Too bad women never cheat on men. I hope that reads sarcastic enough.

?

If it was a woman, four kids and Mother's day, I'd have the same opinion.

240

Its not clear to me that Sanford can be impeached over this. . what crime did he commit?

Er, you don't have to be a felon to get impeached.  You just have to piss off enough folks to get thrown out.

He's done that.  He is so fucking toast. He has NO friends GOP or Dem. Put a fork in him, he's done.

Kemp

241 Like I said above, I truly think he went a little, um, lot nutso over this chick. I do think people can fall in love having an affair. Sure, it's a dirty way to get into a relationship, but hey, people do feel the way they feel. I think he should resign, NOW. My ex screwed around on me, and I found pics of him in a shower doing 2 18 yr olds while he was out of town "working." I ran over him with my car. Unfortunately, he lived. I still get the feeling it wasn't just a bang for Marky Mark. Those corny ass e-mails don't sound like just trying to get poon. I feel sorry for EVERYONE involved in this mess, but I don't make a big deal out of him not being there for Father's day. Supposedly his wife told him to take a hike (for reals) and he wasn't supposed to be there. Plus, holidays like Mother's day and Father's day and all that crap annoy me.I had rather get attention on the other days not sanctioned by someone else's Hallmarkian ideas.

242 iamfelix: Sometimes the hurtin' won't heal, huh?

243 What the hell is the problem with politicians and sex? Most of these guys couldn't get laid on cougar night at the local hotel bar if they weren't "powerful" I've been married almost 14 years, have never cheated (though I have been tempted), and I hold no position of power.....why do these guys, especially in the political climate of today, risk this shit?

Gimme another shot, dammit.

244 Everybody plays the fool,
no exception to the rule.

245 Just to crush any lingering doubt about whether or not he's completely finished-  Politico says SC residents picked up the tab for a few of his Argentina getaways.

246

the erotic beauty of you holding yourself (or two magnificent parts of yourself) in the faded glow of the night’s light -

I'm pretty sure Sullivan & Greenwald exchange emails saying these types of things...

247

#48 I don't blame shep for this.  When a man cheats on his wife, its a natural reaction not to trust anything else they have to say.

Not that I'm excusing this man but relate that logic to JFK who didn't seem to suffer any loss of credibility over his womanising.  Though to be fair, only the media were in the know and they weren't telling.

248 Emails sent to AP in December, from his personal (not office) email account. Which could be anywhere - Yahoo, Gmail, MS, you name it.

249

Rocks: Yeah, you got it. You see this all the time, middle aged women go over the top with the diet. Don't do it ladies. The sexiest parts of a women are made up of fat. As long as the waist is smaller than the hips and bust men will go for the "fat" every time. It may be a great burst to your ego to boast to your friends how you are a size 4 again but there aren't many guys who are going to appreciate the costs.

Yeah - the first thing I thought when I saw that picture was that the chick is just too dadgum scrawny [plus it looks like she might have that bitchy thing going on*].

Recently, I've been dating a divorcee with D-Cups, and I gotta tell ya - I may never go back to scrawny again.

Hoo. Rah. Baby.

[*Seriously ladies - all a guy wants is a friendly girl with a good attitude who enjoys partaking of the nasty with him and who doesn't rake him over the coals afterwards.]

250

  

I'm confused.

1.  I thought the news organizations decide during the "Slick Willy" thing that was something private and just between Mr. and Mrs.  I guess the Democratic propaganda ministry sent out new guidance to the media to feed to the sheeple and brain dead (52%ers).

2.  Why do I care what a second rate RINO does?  He has repeatedly gone against most conservative positions since becoming governor and this is a surprise

251 One thing I've been wondering about is, the wife thru him out...of the Governor's mansion?  She can do that?  An unelected wife can throw the Governor out of a place that's set-up the communication equipment, staff, security, and whatever else is in there for the Governor?  That's it "hit the road Jack!"  Doesn't seam quite right...

252

Sanford went into way too much detail... on and on.  Who cares?  He just gave the libs more ammunition to yell about.  Maybe he's hoping to disappear back to Argentina while leaving a sullied legacy to his family.

A quick one minute presser would have been better than this pathetic display.

284 Factors Replica Watches About The Rolex replica watches Oyster The Oyster is so closely get in touch with Rolex, and it is inevitably that some people think these are the only Replica watches Rolex manufacture. Others suppose that there is a single Oyster watch. But as a matter of fact, the name Oyster does not actually meant for a rolex Watches particular watch you can buy rolex watches or even to a series but to a type of case that available in some of the Rolex ranges. History The Oyster case was first released in 1926. The objective was to protect the workings of the watch from dust and moisture. Early watches were far from waterproof. The Oyster tag heuer Watchescase was an tag heuer watches innovative design to eliminate these problems. It had a new double locking crown that screwed into place. It has been compared to the hatch on a submarine. Like a submarine, the Oyster case was waterproof. In 1927 Mercedes Gleitze swam the English breitling Watches Channel breitling watches . Before she set off she was presented with a Rolex Oyster. When she arrived, the watch was still working perfectly. The resulting publicity gave the new case a massive boost. Why is it called Oyster? Legend has it that Hans cartier Watches Wilsdorf cartier watches, who invented the Oyster, chose the name because the new case reminded him of the difficulty he had experienced prising open oysters at dinner. Since then the Oyster has further, particularly advanced. Many Oyster watches today are omega Watches perpetual-self-winding, in other omega watches words, it does not require to expose the mechanism to the outside world in order to wind it. The Osyter Perpetual is one of the toughest, most durable, most reliable watches (under truly adverse conditions). It is probably the best mechanical watch money can buy.
