Please cry for me Argentina
The truth is I still want to see you
These are my wild oats
My wife is wealthy
Let's hope she forgives me
Or my goose is cooked-ed

I haven't but her name is Maria and they were evidently...er...ahem...intimate as evidenced by the emails. Robert Browning he wasn't; explicit he was.

The man seems to have fallen in love with someone outside of marriage. It happens. He may have decided to end the relationship but, in his presser yesterday, he sounded like he was still in love with the other woman.

I saw her described somewhere today as a "brunette with big eyes."

Well, I guess we've seen the end of this story. Darn it. Now that Michael Jackson's death and Farrah Fawcett's death are taking over all the airwaves, I guess the Governor can get out of the spotlight.

Re: asking his wife for forgiveness, etc. I think cheating spouses deserve extended public humiliation - especially ones who make it clear in their press conferences ala Gov Sanford that they don't regret what they've done; they only regret they've been caught. Supposedly his wife found out about the affair more than 5 months ago; gave him an ultimatum 2 weeks ago; he agrees to break it off; and then like a moron goes to Argentina to...what?...kiss her goodbye? I would think it would take more than "big eyes" to reduce an accomplished man to a bumbling romantic idiot but there's no accounting for some egos.

Found this on the Huffington Post:

UPDATE:
Trace Gallagher, of Fox News' "Live Desk", offered this on-air apology on Thursday afternoon:

"We just want to make a correction to something we put up on the screen during our coverage of the governor's press conference yesterday. We briefly identified Governor Sanford as a Democrat. He is, of course, a Republican and we apologize for getting it wrong."

They did the same thing when Mark Foley was coming on the the Congressional pages...

In his first public event since he revealed his mistress in Argentina, the Republican governor met with state agency heads in what is usually a low-key Cabinet meeting. He specifically apologized to the agency leaders that handle economic development trips and his security, and likened his struggle to that of King David. THE GALL OF SOME PEOPLE!!!

They go around screaming "holier-than-thou" and they can't keep the trouser snake in their pants?

You mean like your pal Ord? When are you inviting Ord over to one of the garden parties so he can meet and amuse all the gentle men and ladies in the neighborhood?

You like us for a glance, you know---
For a word's sake

All's the same, whate'er the chance, you know.

And in turn we make you ours, we say---
You and youth too,
Eyes and mouth too,
All the face composed of flowers, we say.

It isn't easy to find stuff about this scandal what with all the big news this week, but Mrs. Sanford, in an interview at her vacation home this week said that she had expressly "forbidden" her husband to go to Argentina to see that woman - this after months of "begging her" to let him go see the mistress. They have been in marriage counseling and he indicated to the counselor he wanted to work on the marriage - I guess that was before he saw Maria's tan lines. Supposedly, the happy couple was all over Buenos Aires canoodling in bars and restaurants last week. I think Mrs. Sanford and the good people of South Carolina should send him to Argentina, with only the clothes on his back, on a one-way ticket - see how well the mistress likes him without the trappings of his wife's money and his governorship. He's like a love-sick school boy without even the good sense to condemn his own actions.

Too true. And, yet... I think men (and women) who stray aren't exactly in love with their spouses, in the first place (for whatever reason). The Gov is in a pickle, all right, but we really don't know if it's entirely of his own making. Maybe the missus is a world-class @+%%%. We are in the habit of giving the "wronged" party complete benefit of the doubt in these cases.

The missus certainly sounded like a control freak in the interview and according to reports she was the one who engineered his career in politics. I think she has thrown him to the wolves - something Elizabeth Edwards should have done to her cheating spouse.

I have been in such a pickle since I

So we might have to blame the Gov's wife for his trip to Argentina and the affair? It is all the little woman's fault that the husband forgot that he is MARRIED????????

Bodega I have to agree with 101 on this line. we don't know what happened or should we care. There are 2 sides to every story. That said I think that these men (and sometimes women) in politics who believe that marriage is for hetersexuals only should look at their own lives before voting on a anti gay amendment

A good man would step out of his marriage before having relationship with another person. It wouldn't matter if the Mrs was a raving lunatic. He is married and if Mr. Blue believes in the word marriage and the vows that go with it, then what Mr. Stanford did was violate the terms of his marriage contract, which is what getting married is all about right? Or is it for love? Both of which Mr. Stanford has violated. What he wanted to do his have his cake and eat it too

Did he think he looked better to the good people of SC if he stayed married and had a mistress vs leaving his wife for another woman? Or did he think at all and just let the blood go elsewhere?

Somebody needs to tell Gov Sanford to stop talking. The more he talks, the more he sounds like an insincere lovesick idiot. This is from msnbc:

"This was a whole lot more than a simple affair, this was a love story," Sanford said. "A forbidden one, a tragic one, but a love story at the end of the day."

And this:

During an emotional interview at his Statehouse office with The Associated Press on Tuesday, Sanford said Chapur is his soul mate but he's trying to fall back in love with his wife.

And this was regarding the 6 other women he's admitted to having affairs with:

He said that during the encounters with other women he "let his guard down" with some physical contact but "didn't cross the sex line." He wouldn't go into detail.

I wonder if "let his guard down" is code for taking his pants off...

If I were his wife, he'd be heading to Argentina on a one way ticket and not necessarily because of this affair - but because he has the effrontery to tell the entire news-watching country that he's in love with the tramp. Maybe Lorene Bobbitt could schedule him for some surgery.

SC's Luv Gov said Tuesday that he "crossed lines" with a handful of women other than his mistress - but never had sex with them. The governor said he "never crossed the ultimate line" with anyone but Maria Belen Chapur, the Argentine at the center of a scandal that has derailed his once-promising political career.

It turns out that many high profile people agree with moi - that the Guvahnah should be taking a more silent approach to his affairs of the heart...
