I can't wait for his Appalachian Trail commentary.

Former Gov. Mark Sanford of South Carolina may have not have been able to run for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination after his 2009 cheating scandal, but he will at least get to talk about the campaign on national television – as a paid contributor on Fox News, the Caucus has learned.

A network spokeswoman confirmed that Mr. Sanford, once considered a potential Republican presidential contender, has signed on with the network. While he is certain to appear prominently at the debate Fox News is holding in South Carolina in January, he will appear well before that and will stay on with Fox even beyond the general election.

and if your wondering what became of the Argentinian lover:

As for his lover, Maria Belen Chapur, he said: “I would say that I have more than well described all of my emotions and feelings toward Maria. And out of fairness to my boys and to folks that I’ve hurt, I’m not going to say more than this: any of those seemingly goofy feelings that I described a couple years back have intensified, not dissipated, with time.”

1. Of course they hired him. Perfect for Faux News.

Lying, cheating GOP nut without any credibility - and a quitter, to boot.

Maybe he can do a show with Sarah. They would be perfect together.

2. How long before he takes another hike.

3. Is being a adulterer part of the job description at Fox?

One of the few requirements?

4. It won't be a "fireside chat." It'll be "thoughts from the ol' Appalachian Trail!"

OMG! Just saw something on Google calling it the "Crappalachian Trail"!

Uh - hey, asshole, you had a WIFE too. I would hope you'd at least include her on your list of the people for whom you're so concerned for "fairness", along with your boys (BOTH OF YOUR boys, HERS TOO!) and to folks that you've hurt. Like your un-named WIFE????

What a snake! (With apologies to snakes everywhere!) :puke:

Look out Maria. Uneasy lies the head that wears the love-letters.
