S.C. Gov. was missing … his mistress

Posted By jss on June 24, 2009

My favorite part of the Mark Sanford story is this:

“I developed a relationship with what started as a dear dear friend from Argentina,” Gov. Sanford said. “It began very innocently, as I suspect these things do, in just a casual e-mail back and forth. But here, recently, over this last year, developed into something much more than that …”

Isn’t that always the way?

I’ll admit, I wasn’t exactly worried about him. I am a little worried about his “dear friend” from Argentinia, who will be outed almost any second now.

I don’t think politicians are actually any more or less capable of keeping it in their pants than anyone else. But dayum, we ‘murricans sure get bent out of shape about this stuff.

Isn’t it nice that he didn’t make his wife Jenny stand next to him, like they all do? It makes me almost like him. I’d bet anything she knew he ran off to Argentinia, since apparently Sanford told his wife about the affair five months ago. 

“I have not heard from my husband. I am taking care of my children,” is what she told reporters a few days ago.

So she knew where he was.

You've Been Tempted.

Shadowy "Into Temptation" is a usually-but-not-always safe-for-work forum about evolving social-sexual networks and how they have changed and are changing lives. It will also loosely chronicle the research, writing and publication, I hope in 2011, of a book by the same name.

The author and editor? Jeff Schult | DWM | New England | ... We've dispensed with pseudoanonymity.
