What is amazing is that he said he was having an affair.

Heck he just got home this morning. I Would say that describes a person that is having a current affair.

The Other Woman may actually be after his job, too.  This could be  a twofer.

Republican Values at their best...

Gingrich, Ensign, and Sanford, all potential candidates for 2012, are all bigots and hypocrites.

Your list is far too short.

The crooked finger is now pointing back to were it should have always been pointing.

Another CONservative flames out!

Yet another "sex is power, power is sex" scumbag political leader.

Forgiveness from who? Not me. It's not my marriage and career.

Yet another "sex is power, power is sex" scumbag political leader.

Who nevertheless pushes the "family values" scam.

This guy obviously *WANTED* to get caught.  Like many in his position, I think, the guy loathes himself. 

He's got a lot of company at the moment.

Gov Palin is this your first clue?

Abstinence Does not work.

Random,

Men with this much conviction are rare. :>)

Faux News comes to the rescue!

How silly they were ... I bet nobody will miss him.

( nice link! )

--virgil

The (D) is for D-bag, in this case.

Faux Snooze is an arm of the GOP.  They play this kind of silly game all the time.

Wouldn't it be kicky, if the "other woman" is Nikki?

Random,

I have a link but it is a bit racy. Those who would wish a looky luu. Can google

Name: Nikki Tango,

Location: South America, Argentina

City: Buenos Aires

Region: Distrito Federal

No,  although you've caused me to review my frequent-flyer miles...

They play this kind of silly game all the time.

Yup.

Also:

On the January 6 edition of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes, an onscreen caption falsely labeled guest Jimmy Hayes -- a former U.S. representative from Louisiana -- as a Democrat. In fact, Hayes became a Republican in 1995 before leaving the House of Representatives.

When co-host Sean Hannity introduced his two guests, Hayes and former Rep. George Nethercutt Jr. (R-WA), he failed to disclose the party affiliation of either, referring to them as "former Louisiana Congressman Jimmy Hayes" and "former Washington Congressman George Nethercutt," respectively. When Hayes began to comment, the onscreen caption falsely listed his party affiliation as "Jimmy Hayes (D)." There was no affiliation listed for Nethercutt.

They also labeled Dennis Hastert as a Democrat when he stepped down from the Foley scandal.

The Rutgers girl?

Breaking Nikki

Dear Gov. Sanford.

Playing with your imagination gets you in a lot less trouble. :>)

Tkozy,

That link to Nikki Tango don't work .

--virgil

virgil,

Try playing with your imagination. Ha Ha Ha!!!!

OR

Just google the girl in Argentina.

 That link to Nikki Tango don't work .

It's worth looking for.  If you have a Y chromosome and know how to use it.  NSFW, though.

 Mark Sanford is against gay marriage and defines marriage as one man and one woman. He is also against letting gay couple adopt children."
 

From a Draft-Sanford site.  That defintion now includes one man and *TWO* women.

Hey, it's biblical...

I hope for the sake of her kids, the wife gets a divorce.  Sanford is a bad example for his kids.

I still can't find Nikki, but I found this:

I love a close family.

Virgil,

Viagra may stimulate your dull imagination. Ha ha ha

Yeah, those Democrats, they never have affairs or divorces.  God luv'em.

Tkozy,

You mean like this :

--virgil

Sure the Dems have adulterers, Nanc, you just don't want this to turn into a head count cuz the Repubs have a huge lead right now.

Fox News sure likes to fool it's sheople by putting Ds behind anyone caught doing anything wrong. I guess by fair and balanced they have to put Ds behind some republicans so that the fornication all evens out.

This guy wasn't conservative enough for Republicans anyway.

Virgil,

Moderation. i wouldn't want you to go blind...   :>)

those Democrats, they never have affairs or divorces

It's the hypocrisy from the "family values" conservatives.

But you knew that even though you won't admit it.

Typical reTHUGlican CONservative!

While serving as a U.S. congressman, Sanford was incredibly critical of his colleagues’ marital misdeeds, including the affairs of former congressman Bob Livingston and President Bill Clinton:

“The bottom line, though, is I am sure there will be a lot of legalistic explanations pointing out that the president lied under oath. His situation was not under oath. The bottom line, though, is he still lied. He lied under a different oath, and that is the oath to his wife. So it’s got to be taken very, very seriously.” [Sanford on Livingston, CNN, 12/18/98]

“We ought to ask questions…rather than circle the wagons for one of our tribe.” [Sanford on how the GOP reacts to affairs, New York Post, 12/20/98]

“I think it would be much better for the country and for him personally (to resign). I come from the business side. If you had a chairman or president in the business world facing these allegations, he’d be gone.” [Sanford on Clinton, The Post and Courier, 9/12/98]

“The issue of lying is probably the biggest harm, if you will, to the system of Democratic government, representatives government, because it undermines trust. And if you undermine trust in our system, you undermine everything.” [Sanford on Clinton, CNN, 2/16/99]

Sanford has also been an opponent of same-sex marriage, saying in 2004, “As Jenny and I are the parents of four little boys, we’ve always taught our kids that marriage was something between a man and a woman.” [The Post and Courier, 2/11/04

Nancy,

I will accept the first chance I get to have an affair. You know any takers, tell them to ring me up.

OPPS, I forgot. I’m a registered Republican.

I suppose if the lady was a real stunner. I could make the switch. Ha Ha ha

 Taxpayers fund Sanford affair

 Earlier today, Mark Sanford told The State he went to Argentina about 18 months ago on a taxpayer-funded Commerce Department trip.

Sanford, in a brief interview in the nation's busiest airport, said he has been to the city twice before, most recently about a year and half ago during a Commerce Department trip.

So he had an affair with a woman from Argentina, and he recently visited there on the taxpayer dime.

According to Sanford's travel reports, he spent $21,488 on a trip to Brazil, Argentina, and China. However much of that can be allocated to his trip to Argentina, it still means taxpayers likely spent thousands on his affair.

Wow.

In addition, Ben Smith notes two taxpayer-funded trips to Argentina made by Sanford in the mid-1990s, though Sanford indicated he met the woman with whom he had the affair eight years ago.

This guy wasn't conservative enough for Republicans anyway.

They're gonna be down to Palin and Romney by 2012.  The Ditz and the Mittz.

South Carolina, "Offenses Against Morality and Decency’


Governor Sanford. It's in South Carolina's Code of Laws, Title 16--Crimes and Offenses, Chapter 15
SECTION 16-15-60. Adultery or fornication.
Any man or woman who shall be guilty of the crime of adultery or fornication shall be liable to indictment and, on conviction, shall be severally punished by a fine of not less than one hundred dollars nor more than five hundred dollars or imprisonment for not less than six months nor more than one year or by both fine and imprisonment, at the discretion of the court.
SECTION 16-15-70. "Adultery" defined.
"Adultery" is the living together and carnal intercourse with each other or habitual carnal intercourse with each other without living together of a man and woman when either is lawfully married to some other person.

Wow TSM--I can't believe Fox News would do such a thing!!!  That bastion of "Fair and Balanced?"

Actually, I was watching one of the newscasters on FoxNews over the weekend talk about a missing persons or kidnapping, and then she all of sudden started calling it a murder.  I thought, "Did something change in the last 90 seconds?"

After the break she came back and, while never admitting to screwing it up, reiterated that it was a kidnapping, but never said that it WASN'T a murder. 

Kidnapping/murder.  Tomato/tomahto.  Whatever.

If Sanford had been a white *WOMAN* missing for five days, Faux would've been all *OVER* it.

RF: too funny

Someone needs to give them good advice on how not to get caught...LOL

It's not that difficult--first of all is not to do it in the first place, of course.  Lots of folks fail at that one.

But it remains true that it's almost never the crime, it's the coverup.  "Hiking the Appalachian Trail?"  Really?  As cover for a trip out of the country with customs and passport records and the like?  

Don't take a company car.  Have your paramour come to you, if possible, rather than the reverse.  Check in from time to time.

If you're away from work, make sure it's an excused absence.  Hand over to the lite-gov if you *HAVE* to go out of country.  A nice boring cover story about why you're in Argentina would help.   At least check the weather so you don't go on about how hot it was in Buenos Aires.

Gary Hart teaches us another tip:  Don't dare the press to follow you.

If you're coming back from an unexplained absence of several days, at least have the forethought to wear a prominent facial bandage and say "no comment" when asked about it.  That's how McCain got away with *HIS* dalliances during the '08 campaign.

Anyone else want to chime in?

If he was screwing around on the taxpayers dime, he should take a pay cut for the time missed.  Other than that,  this melodrama is between him and his (much) better half.  Let her mete out the justice he deserves with a frying pay and a good attorney.

Hi Audrey,

Has the good old fashioned rolling pin gone out of style?  : )

Don, it's been replaced by the "forward" button.

Sanford shouldn't have left his e-mail password lying around:

For what it's worth, it looks like the "Nikki" woman was simply covering her political backside, and the "other woman" was in fact Argentinian.  No word as to whether the Argentinian had a Brazilian.
