My bet is still that he went to have a vision quest.
S.C. Gov. Mark Sanford arrived in the Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport this morning, having wrapped up a seven-day visit to Buenos Aires, Argentina, he said. Sanford said he had not been hiking along the Appalachian Trail, as his staff said in a Tuesday statement to the media.
Sanford’s whereabouts had been unknown since Thursday, and the mystery surrounding his absence fueled speculation about where he had been and who’s in charge in his absence. His emergence Wednesday ended the mystery.
Buenos Aires!?
His emergence Wednesday ended the mystery.
Au contraire, now I am intrigued even more.

Oh, great. He pulled an Edwards.
What a frigging maroon.
Makes me wonder about Obama, though… could his fidelity be guaranteed by Michelle’s fearsome arms? And were the “accidents” that befell Sonia Sotomayor and Hillary Clinton of late warnings to women who might get too close to Obama?
Sigh…

The radio station I listen to is running a contest where, whoever guesses what the real reason for his trip was they win some concert tickets.
I guessed plastic surgery to become a British billionaire so as to provide North Korea with a super outer space weapon.
I was wrong.
More plausible than my guess would have been, SFC… “buzzing New York City with a South Carolina State Police (or National Guard) plane.”
How depressingly mundane.

Honestly. I hope she’s hot. It’s depressing when rich, powerful men settle for the slightly chubby girl in the mail room. If the governor of a state can’t get some hot action on the side, what chance do regular guys have?
Also, this began over email? How the fuck did that happen?
I’m starting to deeply regret deleting that email that began “Hello, I am a hot Argentinian woman who is related to the deposed royal family. I have $20,000,000 in the bank and I will share it with you if you provide me with your checking account information.”
SFC, you fool. Hot NIGERIAN women are con artists. Hot ARGENTIAN women are always on the up and up.
(serious for a moment) Hell, I nearly married a woman I first met online. It allows for a certain intimacy to develop very quickly — some people are far less defensive and more candid online than they are in person.
Especially 14-year-olds (of either sex) who are desperate to have sex with middle-aged men. They are even more trustworthy than hot Argentinian deposed royalty. (Was Argentina ever a monarchy, anyway?)

Oh, great. He pulled an Edwards.
Edwards never went missing for a week.
Let me correct my grammar, Duros:
Oh, great. He was pulling an Edwards.
I gotta admit, though, I have to side with Sanford. I’d rather be holed up (so to speak) in Argentina than a hotel rest room.
For one, I’d be a lot less likely to run into Larry Craig…

Shorter Jay: Yet another Republican sex scandal, so OMG look over here! But there’s not even a “here” here — by all accounts Obama has been the most faithful of husbands. Republicans could take a lesson from his marriage. Edwards hasn’t been an elected official for a while now, albeit what he did really sucked. He pulled a Gingrich.
That said, the weirdest thing about this is that a Republican male was having sex with a woman, not a man/boy. Very strange.
And the reason why Stanford’s political career is sunk? The extramarital fucking is one thing, the traveling to another country to do it, one as exotic as Argentina, is what ruins him among the voters of SC.
Oh, and there’s another potential 2012 GOP wing-nut down the drain. Looking more and more like blow-dry Romney vs. Caribou Barbie. Awesome.
As somebody posted on the NY Daily News comment board:
“Sanford said ‘Argentinian tail,’ NOT ‘Appalachian trail.’”
I hope his mistress turns out to be a tranny…
Jaim, you’re making a terrible, terrible mistake.
You’re acting like this is something to be taken seriously.
This is to laugh about.
This is to snicker over.
This is a diversion, this is something that people can all point at and howl about while real, serious, major issues are ignored.
There are major things to be considered right now, that need our national attention, and this bozo goes and gives everyone an excuse to not deal with them.
Way to go, Guv Dipshit.

I’m sorry to break this to you, but the buxom woman in the photo she sent you wasn’t your correspondent.
And the boobs weren’t real either.
“You’re acting like this is something to be taken seriously.”
Sanford was a 2012 and/or 2016 GOP hopeful. Play it down all you want, but yet another Republican candidate with eyes on national office bites the dust, leaving your miserable party with the likes of Jindal the Intern and Palin and her RNC-provided 200K wardrobe.
Not a huge deal, but not a minor one either. Sucks to be you, yet again.
“Jaim’s” right about Republican Mitt “French Vacation During the Vietnam War” Romney being one of the top Republican Presidential Candidate in 2012.
Clearly the Palin / Steele 2012! Presidential Campaign needs more cowbell!
