Below are excerpts of e-mails, obtained by The State newspaper in December, between Gov. Mark Sanford and Maria, a woman in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The State has removed the womans full name and other personal details, including her address, e-mail address and childrens name.
Sanfords office Wednesday did not dispute the authenticity of the emails.
McClatchy special correspondent Angeles Mase visited the 14-story apartment building in Buenos Aires Wednesday where the woman lives, according to the emails, which included her address. The woman at the address answered to the name in the emails and, at first, agreed to speak to a visitor, but she declined after the visitor identified herself as a reporter.
The doorman at the building, shown a photograph of Sanford, said he did not recognize him. According to the doorman, the woman has two sons, one a teenager of driving age and the other younger. The emails refer to the womans two sons.
RE: “ “World wind,” Governor? Seriously?”
*******
Agree — if he wrote “world wind,” he’s an idiot!
Throw the bum out!
I forgot he was considered for McCain’s VP. What a freaking bloodbath that would have been...
Obviously Sanford knew these emails were about to be released. The local media has been sitting on them for five months. Who released them and why now?
Mrs. Sanford separate from the Governor two weeks ago I heard. So Marks campaign for President was over before it started.
I am fed up with people in the public eye who do not take their marriage vows seriously. He was a nut and she was too for going after a married man. I might as well add Jon and Kate to this, too. It seems the whole world has gone wacky. Do not get married if you have no intentions of keeping your vows to each other.
What a scum bag.
How do people like this get into elected office?
Freedom of info act? Were these on his official email? If so, what a dolt!
Hot damn! This boy's in heat.
There was probably some sort of blackmail/threat that if he didn’t admit the affair, the emails would go public. Wouldn’t surprise me if the emails/affair was used against him in the whole stimulus debate in SC.
Where does it say they were FOIA material? Why would a governor use state email systems for personal communications? Why not use a Yahoo account? lol
There is no ‘freedom’ to people’s private emails. Something doesn’t sound right with that.
I question the timing of this and Ensign’s personal affairs. Series, er, seriously.
This seems like Rahm’s style of politics.
LOL next hot teacher/student sex story check out FR and tell me ALL guys aren’t... ;)
Could be, but I’m glad they’re being outed now rather than later.
I’m afraid to read them. Just not my cup of tea tonight...lol
He is a RINO cause he cheated on his wife and sent mash emials to his girlfriend? Um seriously? It sounds like you still need to wise up. What does that have to do with his political philosophy?
David Vitter is a conservative who slept with hookers, is he a RINO too?
I don’t remember what you said that led me to post “wise up” to you, if it was that Sanford isn’t the savviest guy in the world (world wind tour?) I guess you were right but certainly he is not a RINO. He’s been the best Governor in the country.
Sanford is scum. That said, the press has investigated more about him in 24 hours than they have on Obama...ever.
That's what I'm wondering. Either her, or someone close to her leaked them. Another possibility is an admin of the email system he was using got them and gave them to the paper. A 'hacker' compromising his/her system, or email server is also plausible.
Sounds to me like he knew the emails were going public and that’s why he was so chatty in the presser. He mentioned the affair was found out about five months ago and the sex began a year prior ... all point to the emails.
Who knows what’s what. He’s been emailing his Argentinian friend for EIGHT years.
