Yeah ... he probably still had an iota of a chance if he had just slept with the woman, but that is some high-level emotional betrayal going on there. It must suck being his wife right now.
Yeah, i'd be furious if i was in her place...emotional cheating is much worse than physically cheating. what an *******.
For women, the worst case is an emotional affair. For men, the worst case is a physical affair. We are different, men and women.
According to everyone's favorite Rush Limbaugh, it's all Obama's fault that he had an affair: http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/...sanford-affair-its-obamas-fault.php?ref=fpblg "This is almost like, 'I don't give a damn, the country's going to Hell in a handbasket, I just want out of here,'" said Limbaugh. "He had just tried to fight the stimulus money coming to South Carolina. He didn't want any part of it. He lost the battle. He said, 'What the Hell. I mean, I'm -- the federal government's taking over -- what the Hell, I want to enjoy life.'" "The point is," he added, "there are a lot of people whose spirit is just -- they're fed up, saying to Hell with it, I don't even want to fight this anymore, I just want to get away from it."
That is CLASSIC! Of course, I guess it does provide a convenient, preemptive excuse for Rush's long-anticipated OxyContin relapse.
Awesome. Well I'm sure there's plenty of available divorcee's from Buenos Aires to Montevideo to Santiago into whose arms disaffected Repubs can flee - Perhaps they should consult surviving Nazis on how to successfully relocate to South America.
now he wants to payback money from an earlier trip on official business trip in june last year, in which he lobbied to stop there. link

Some other place is posting this is the real one, lol. link So this MILF is at least a decent excuse to ruin your life.
Rush is brilliant. Sanford decides to give it all up because Obama increased federal spending. Rush fails to mention that this is not Sanford's 1st tax payer funded strip. He took not 1, not 2, but at least 3 tax payer funded trips to Argentina. His first trip was right after the 2002 election. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0609/24164.html http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.co...-taxpayer-funded-trip-to-argentina-last-june/
If that's the same woman as in wnes's pic, she sure went downhill fast in a decade. I think his wife is much better looking than her.
It might be the wrong Maria Chapur. Her face book has a different middle name. It shows Maria Elisa Chapur. http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/mariaelisa.chapur?hiq=maria,chapur
More details - from the wife's perspective... http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/06/26/jenny-sanford-how-i-found_n_221785.html She apparently had no idea he went to Argentina this past weekend. SULLIVANS ISLAND, S.C. — South Carolina first lady Jenny Sanford sat in her oceanfront living room Friday, recalling how her husband repeatedly asked permission to visit his lover in the months after she discovered his affair. "I said absolutely not. It's one thing to forgive adultery; it's another thing to condone it," Jenny Sanford told The Associated Press during a 20-minute interview at the coastal home where she sought refuge with their four sons. They were her first extended comments on the affair. She said that when her husband, Gov. Mark Sanford, inexplicably disappeared last week, she hoped he was hiking on the Appalachian Trail, as his staff told those who inquired about his absence. That he had dared to go to Argentina to see the other woman left her stunned. "He was told in no uncertain terms not to see her," she said in a strong, steady voice. "I was hoping he was on the Appalachian Trail. But I was not worried about his safety. I was hoping he was doing some real soul searching somewhere and devastated to find out it was Argentina. It's tragic." The Sanfords had separated about two weeks ago. She said her husband told the family that he wanted some time away to work on writing a book and clear his head. The first lady said, "I had every hope he was not going to see her." "You would think that a father who didn't have contact with his children, if he wanted those children, he would toe the line a little bit," she said. ...
This Sanford guy has some balls! Sanford: King David Didn't Resign, So Why Should I? Mark Sanford has been holding a televised cabinet meeting this afternoon. And the South Carolina governor started out by using an interesting comparison to respond to calls for his resignation. King David didn't back down after his own sex scandal, he told his colleagues, and neither will I. Said Sanford:
