So you want a little on the side?

So you're a Republican Governor of a Southern state - and things have gotten boring and tedious at home?

Want to spice things up a bit, but surely don't want to get caught?

Whatever you do, DO NOT find yourself an Argentinian hottie that you have to disappear for 5 days for, to see. Inquiring minds (especially of your political enemies) will want to know!

S.C. Governor Mark Sanford Admits Affair

WashingtonPost, By Chris Cillizza, June 24

Gov. Mark Sanford (R-S.C.) admitted that he had conducted an extramarital affair with a woman in Argentina who he had gone to visit over the last five days -- during which time a massive media story developed over where he was and why.

"I have been unfaithful to my wife . . . I developed a relationship with what started as a dear dear friend," said Sanford.

He said that he had met the woman, who he did not name, roughly eight years ago and that it had become romantic within the last year. He visited her three times during the past year, Sanford said, and noted that his wife, Jenny, had been aware of the affair for the past five months.
