Well, this is interesting…I don’t really know what to say.
Remember the South Carolina Governor? Yeah, that guy who went to hike the Appalachian trail… in Argentina?
Yeah, well, apparently he had an affair with some woman in Argentina…
“We’ve been working through this for the past five months.”
So, apparently, his family knew about the affair before his trip down Mexico way…
And he is resigning as the chairman of the Republican Governors Association….
Will he resign as governor?
Developing…
UPDATE: This guy’s a bastard. I think that he told his staffers the story about the Appalachian trail to mislead them…And to leave to see your mistress on Father’s Day weekend…
And, his press conference rivaled that of Blago…Winding through some stories of when he was young, then apologizing to just about everyone, then finally saying he had an affair.
I must say, I almost didn’t notice him say that.
Then he rambled on about how he met this woman…
Bizarre…
UPDATE: So, thanks to some twitter folk, I was referenced to an article about an investigation into Public Funding of Travel Spending of South Carolina people…
The article, from December of 2008, discusses University of South Carolina officers, but also mentions Mark Sanford…
To quote the article, “Mr. Sanford has traveled to China, Argentina and Brazil through the Commerce Department, which has travel reports showing taxpayers covering $21,488 for those trips.”
Those trips to Argentina…to see his lady-friend…paid for by taxpayer dollars?
I dunno…maybe someone should look into it…
UPDATE: Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour will replace Mark Sanford as Chairman of the Republican Governors Association.

To quote Michelle Malkin’s tweet, “NO EXCUSES: If u can’t honor marital vows, how can we trust u 2 honor oath of office?”
And another Malkin tweet, “Dear adulterous GOP politicians: Go away. Thnx to u, Obamacare/cap&trade/hotdog diplomacy off the radar screen.”
Folks, this is not the issue. The issue is Korea and the Obamacare Commercial…Be sure to check out my coverage of the Obamacare commercial…
After the jump, check out the statement from Sanford’s wife…AND JOHN KERRY TRYING TO SPIN THIS TO ATTACK SARAH PALIN!
READ EMAILS BETWEEN SANFORD AND “MARIA.” after the jump…
Told ya! According to the Buenos Aires Herald, Mark Sanford took a trip to Buenos Aires using Taxpayer dollars!
