In a stunning confession, South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford admitted Wednesday to being "unfaithful" to his wife during a press conference meant to account for his mysterious week-long absence. "I've let down a lot of people. That's the bottom line," he said. "I've been unfaithful to my wife." Sanford, who just returned from Argentina, said he developed a "relationship with what started out as a dear, dear friend from Argentina."
Wilbur Mills ~ Argentine Firecracker ~ that one ended up with a nekkid romp in the Tidal Basin, or was it the Reflecting Pool.
Everybody’s happy that he’s heterosexual. Now, how does it happen you glossed over that fact? Hmmm?!?!?!?!
Sanford gets home, finds wardrobe scattered all over front yard... gerbalist: `Governor, a problem at home?’
Heck no, just a misunderstanding: look, she laid my clothes out for me.
Yes, and he brought up hurting his wife just a couple of mentions after saying that he’d hurt his girlfriend.
Sounds pretty low. I didn’t get a chance to see his press conference.
bye bye. you gots to go.
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire....
So you think disappearing for five days from his job, without security detail and without any way to be contacted isn’t enough? Ok, throw in the mistress and that still isn’t enough? You think someone, somewhere needs to have more on him for this to be a scandal?
More is coming out. This thing is a mess. Who the hell knows what was going through Sandford’s mind.
Yeah it is a sad story for his family and those who supported him. He has hurt a lot of people.
Yep. Now that more info is coming to light, all I can say is what an ass. He should just resign. I know that the other republicans are nothing to write home about, but what he just did is plain stupid. Committing adultery is bad enough, but to disappear for a couple of days is insane.
Lots of people have stressful jobs and lives - but they would not have the excuses made for them if they pulled this stunt.
Finally the Postal Inspectors were called in to see if they could locate him ~ which they did.
Seems that he'd reached that magic date on the federal worker calendar that said "You'all can retire today" so he did.
We didn't miss him ~ fellow named Kennedy as I recall.
Whadda friggin idiot. How many more randy Republicans have to surface before they get the idea that fidelity and honesty are REQUIRED? If you are a Republican.
So he just walked out? lol That’s kind of funny
BTW, it seems that a federal employee who is eligible for retirement can just walk away and disappear. It’s up to his employing office to fill out his or her retirement papers and have them processed. The employee does not need to give notice.
Dixie, do you not care that he just ditched his security detail and disappeared for 5 days? His “personal life” is a reflection of his values - he basically screwed every resident of South Carolina, and all of us who believe in the family values candidates. He made us all look like fools. That is important.
