COLUMBIA, S.C. - South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford said Wednesday he spent last weekend in Florida with his Argentine lover, hoping to rekindle the affair that wrecked his marriage and his political future and brought a formal rebuke from legislators for embarrassing the state.

"As a matter of record, everybody in this room knows exactly who I was with over the weekend," Sanford said. "That is no mystery to anybody given what I said last summer. And, you know, the purpose was obviously to see if something could be restarted on that front given the rather enormous geographic gulf between us. And time will tell. I don't know if it will or won't."

1. Who The Fuck Cares?

Not Me

[Dappleganger]

28. If he's using up FL taxpayers' money for FL police to protect his sorry ass

I do care. I wish he would stay the fuck away from here and go screw her in his own damn state on his own taxpayers' dime since they can't seem to muster up enough courage to get rid of him.

Why should we have to pay? I hope to HELL that FL sends him a bill.

[malaise]

2. Bwaaaaaah hahahahahaha

ReTHUGS are the world's best family values hypocrites.

[Renew Deal]

3. Why is this "breaking?"

[Enrique]

4. we need more details

I think someone needs to call Chuck Woolery and find out what really happened.

[AndyA]

5. The guy just really isn't that smart, is he? In fact, I'd have to say he's an idiot.

That's a given, since he's a Repuke, but really to just go on and on about an affair that's wrecked your marriage, your family, your career, etc., seems insane.

Maybe he really does love her, but I've got to wonder what the hell she sees in him!

[peace frog]

6. BFD

Sanford makes this announcement, as if he's still relevant and anyone gives a flying frig. GET A CLUE, NOBODY CARES. :nopity:

[Vickers]

7. Rah rah, Guv, you got laid, now STFU. n/t

[LynneSin]

8. Commandments #7. You shall not commit adultery

Is he divorced yet?

Even moreso - aren't these family values folks telling kids not to have sex outside of marriage?

[livetohike]

10. But, but, but.....it's his soul mate

:eyes:

[LynneSin]

Didn't Bristol say that about Levi?

:rofl:

[livetohike]

15. LOL

:-)

[CTyankee]

37. Ha, that's what a right wing friend of my hubby said (with a straight face no less)!

Yes, it's so sad, he's "a man in love" and you know how that is...it's just all so human... the guy sat there and told me all this with this sorrowful look. So Clinton is a scumbag but Sanford is...well, a "man in love."

[livetohike]

41. Those right wingers always have an excuse, don't they?

And it sounds perfectly plausible to them. Blah.

[CTyankee]

43. Yep. I jsut try to smile at them. For others I try some hard logic.

I'm trying here...

[MrScorpio]

9. I give him credit for being a Republican in love... With another adult

At least he's not screwing horses or little boys.

[October]

20. No credit from me

What he did is very destructive to his wife and children.

It's amazing how people overlook such damage done to other human beings.

[JI7]

38. his wife is doing fine, he is now with the woman he loves , it would be worse

to stay with someone you don't love , especially when there is that someone else out there that you really want to be with.

[CTyankee]

44. Aw, that's sweet. In the meantime there's 4 children and a wife left behind.

Great accomplishment, this guy. You nailed the woman you "love" again. Hey!

Good thing the wife had family money...didn't look like he was gonna step up for his 4 kids (not to mention his wife...yeah, I know she had the money).

What a piece of shit this guy is. Didn't give a crap about his 4 sons or his wife (she was obviously a trophy wife money-wise).

This whole thing makes me want to puke. What the hell did this guy DO to get ANY recognition WHATSOEVER?

[Mari333]

11. oh my! he wants the media to back off??? is he kidding???

man he IS dense.

[NC_Nurse]

12. Maybe he's hoping to land his own reality teevee show...

[foxfeet]

13. Hiking the Tamiami Trail? nt

14. Here's a thread about "Broken 'Breaking News'" by another DUer

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=389&topic_id=8305973

Some things just aren't really 'breaking' news, or even 'news.'

[sinkingfeeling]

19. That's why this is posted in GD.

[Obamanaut]

32. Now don't I feel silly, reading the subject line of the OP, and thinking

it was meant to be breaking news "Breaking: S.C. governor meets..."

Oh well.

ETA or even news

[wilt the stilt]

16. I hope it works out

I actually think he really loved her.

[Sal Minella]

39. Too bad he didn't "actually really love" his four sons enough to

continue being their father.

How seldom I see any mention of the four boys he abandoned for the lady of delectable parts.

[polichick]

17. Oh God, he's not going to start waxing poetic about her breasts, is he? nt

[dawg]

22. Would that actually work on anyone?

I see these things that these famous people say and write to each other when having affairs - they sound so lame and loserish. I can see writing something like that to a woman I was involved with as kind of a sexy joke - but seriously? Damn. I guess it's easier to get laid in Argentina. ;)

[polichick]

27. Maybe you have to say it with a seductive Southern accent. :) nt

[dawg]

33. Well, I'm sure that could be arranged.

I am a Georgia dawg, afterall. ;)

[Judi Lynn]

18. Well, he's clearly not compentent standing up. Maybe he wants to become famous for lying down. n/t

[Hannah Bell]

21. who cares? seriously, who cares? 20% un(der)employment, ptb preparing to steal social security,

corporate-sponsored ecological disaster in the gulf, multi-front war, europe ready to crash --

& DU continues the petty partisan "gotcha" about which pol is fucking who.


WHO CARES!!!!!!!

[BootinUp]

23. This is real?

Gee thanks MSNBC for turning my stomach.

[Chipper Chat]

24. So will we soon have a revisit to the Minneapolis restroom by Larry Craig?

Hoping to rekindle a relationship?

[femrap]

25. He's still governor?

Wow...just no shame left in this empire, is there? Not even an ounce of discretion? I wonder if Sanford remembers the words, 'please and thank you?'

[Are_grits_groceries]

26. I don't care just so

he doesn't try to explain anything. Gah!

[grantcart]

29. But she was only there to help with his bags.

[Skidmore]

30. DUzy!

[asjr]

31. She must be a fantastic bag holder.

[ladjf]

36. Or, maybe she's an expert tea bagger. nt

[CatWoman]

42. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

:rofl:

[Arkana]

34. Ahahahahaha.

Sanford's the gift that keeps on giving.

[ladjf]

35. The Guv seems to be a slow learner. nt

[Jim Lane]

40. No, he's learned from the likes of Vitter and Ensign: IOKIYAR. That was where Spitzer went wrong.

I wonder if any of the teabaggers ever stop and think about how Democrats seem more likely to resign in these situations than do Republicans.
