Come on Guhv-nah, let’s have a gander at that passport stamp. That would clear up everything.

Sanford back from South America: press conference and interview
he said he cruised? interesting choice of vocab!
“cruised along the coast”, eh… wouldn’t take very long according to this little factoid from your link:
hmmmmmm…l think he’s making this up as he goes, and he’s not a very good
liarad-libber.coast of Argentina maybe, but Buenos Aires?? unless it’s another lie – my bad, he misspoke I mean, and he meant to say Rio, he cruised the beaches of Rio.
No coast access: yes, BA was founded as a port to bypass authorized Spanish extraction of New World resources; in an estuary, has E-W routes to access routes from which entrepreneurs (pirates) received resources of Southern Latin America.
Did he take a lot of Viagra? Is he a Trojan man?
Maybe had company.
I got this one
This just gets better and better. We’re gonna need a lot more popcorn.
Extra butter! I have a feeling that there are a lot of slippery hands involved in this story.
Anyone wanna live blog this press conference?
He’s rambling about his high school days on the Appalachian Trail.
Who is Gina Smith?
Governor claims he was exhausted.
This is funny as a mutha to me. I mean…I love it when you can smell Hypocrits getting bitchslapped by Karma.
I think he cheated on his wife.
me too
and here it is.
I called this sex tourism in comment 4
He lied to his staff about where he was going!!
When is going to tell us what he is apologizing for?
God’s laws?
Did he go to Argentina with Lindsay Graham?
I called it – sex tourism
I get 2 points for this
I actually feel sorry for the guy, his wife, his kids, his state.
What a mess.
It’s easy to take pot shots, but right now, he just looks like a very wounded (and wounding) guy.
For his wife and kids, yes. They believed this crapfilled turd.
Now we are gonna see the wife standing behind her man, telling us that this is not the real Mark Sanford.
Well, actually, it is.
I am 56. I have many times thought “Gee, I sure would like to get lucky with that thing there.” But, I haven’t. I’ve been faithful. Not because I am a good person, but just because it is the right thing to do.
And now this turd, fresh from telling us about the moral rectitude of conservatism, flies 5000 miles to do a little doggy-style fun.
I hope he has syphilis.
Well, no surprise there. We all screw up sometimes. But when conservatives mess up they act like it was some strange happening, a once in a lifetime confluence of events that forced them to fuck up. And then they get right back on their moral high horse and demand that everyone else adhere to impossibly high moral standards.
It’s not the infidelity, it’s the hypocrisy.
it’s not the hypocrisy either, it’s the stupidity. I can’t believe he expected to get away with this – not just an affair but the whole disappearing act, telling his wife and staff different lies.
I’m waiting for the Gov. to call his problem a youthful indiscretion.
