South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford carried on a lively e-mail exchange with his lover in Buenos Aires, praising her "gentle kisses," her tan lines and the "curve of your hips," according to copies of the e-mails given to McClatchy's The State newspaper.

The newspaper posted excerpts on its Web site, after removing the woman's full name and other personal details, including her street address, e-mail address and children's names.

In the e-mails, Sanford recounted his schedule, including a meeting with Sen. John McCain, then the Republican nominee for president. In that e-mail, Sanford told his lover, who The State identified only as "Maria," that the visit had sparked discussion of Sanford as a possible vice presidential candidate.

He also hinted at the emotional struggle his sexual relationship with the woman was causing him. "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," Sanford wrote. "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."

So happy this happened to both Sanford and Ensign now, and not during an election year.

There’s nothing, nothing worth a piece of a$$ when you are married.

If you don’t have the sense to keep it in your trou, then you don’t belong in public life.

"In the last few days, we've had John Ensign...and Mark Sanford...both take themselves out of contention, in the same way...I wonder what Huckabee's got in store for us."

I'm waiting for the Bobby Jindal Kama Sutra video to leak....(pun most certainly not intended)

I have seen folks fired for doing the same thing.

As a Y Chromosome carrier, I know what happens when the blood flows south, but even I have never been so deprived of oxygen to the brain to just take time off unannounced to get some punanny. For the Governor of a state to do so is a career killer.

Stick a fork in yourself, Mark, You're done.
