Republican star Mark Sanford pretty much came clean during his press conference! That is a rare thing with these people, and as a result, liberals everywhere are oohing and aahing, “Oh it’s true love he wasn’t even fucking street urchin boys as far as we know, he should just ditch his awful wife and children,” etc.
You know what, though? Even if you cry about how you are a terrible person, on the teevee, and even if there was “a sparkin’ thing” between you and your Argentine Firecracker that you just had to deal with, by flying back and forth to South America to fuck her, leaving your family and, er, entire state of South Carolina to fend for themselves, well you are still a piece of trash. Hope your dumped wife gets everything you’ve ever (and will ever) earn, Mr. soon-to-be lobbyist. Sanford-Santelli 2012!
Meanwhile, Wonkette pal Michael Roston writes with an important reminder: “Time to break out the Endless Cummer tag.” Done!
Thanks to Marko “A.K” for the screenshot.
Who’s the boyfriend/fuckbuddy?
How did he find a brazillian hooker on the Appalachian Trail? I think this stork is fabricated, to cover up a furry panda tryst!
A shiny new American dollar for the first person to link to a legit photo of “The Paramour of the Pampas.”
Nice screen capture. Hahaha
So…who won the chocolate dildo????
So, if it’s Nikki Haley is she still going to run for Governor of SC in 2010?
He’s not involved with a woman — it’s a capybara. Because two of the world’s largest rodents were meant to be together.
He had me all hopeful, playing the pronoun game at first. “A dear friend,” “this person,” and all that.
Aw. He looks like he needs a hug. Volunteers?
Lascauxcaveman: Check Short’s blog…Nikki Haley…she has two kids, just like the good Gov. said. And, she removed some Sanford related crap on her website.
jodyleek: Not in South Carolina. We hate foreigners around here, and she’s apparently secretly Argentinian.
In cases like this, you need to actually spell out for us that that is a real, actual non-photoshopped screen shot.
Chuckie T on MSNBC just now: “These guys are dropping like flies. It’s like a bad episode of ‘Survivor’ or something.”
Meanwhile, Over on National Review’s “The Corner”, Rich Lowry is pretty sure that Mitt Romney is probably the only prominent GOP member who isn’t diddling some floozie or boinking her husband’s business partner.
Chuck Todd, just now: “These guys are dropping like flies. It’s like a bad episode of ‘Survivor’.
He was crying, in Argentina, for a week. A week? “Damn, that is some fiiiiinne Argentinian ass I am fucking… for the LAST TIME!!! Boo hoo!! No more Argentinian ass… sniffle… well maybe one more day… “
So he’s saying, what, there’s a little Eva Peron in us all? Or vice-versa?
How come none of those wingtards are sayin’ ‘cuz that’s why we have our troops in Afghanipakiraqistan, defendin’ his right to adulteralize?
Jenny Sanford should get tips from that weird shrew, Kate, & start her new career called Jen&Mark+4… Jen’s already at the point where she can turf Mark out w/much fan-fare & media whore attention.
Ok, so that was the confession step.
Now we’ll see the press conference or tv interview with his wife at his side and the SC State legislators will try to drive him out of office. He stepped down from leading the governors’ council to avoid leaving office, but both Dems and the GOP have their sights on him. Dude will be gone shortly.
I’m not gay! I have a girlfriend in Canada - not uh Argentina!
“Crying in Argentina” is GREAT NEWS!!! FOR SARAH PALIN!!!!
Srsly, who’s left besides Mittens, Caribou Barbie, and Haley Barbour? Is US America ready to elect a Mississippi Preznit named Haley, a Mormon who wears sexy sexy magic underwear, or the human equivalent of a question mark?
“He was crying, in Argentina, for a week. A week?”
Don’t cry for him, Argentina. Am I the first to make that bad joke?
This is begging for a parody of an Evita song, don’t you think?
memzilla: Dob’t cry for him.
Time to start a GOP “Sex Pool”–who will be the next to get his wick burned?
497 comments and counting on the live blog Ken. That has to be some kind of record.
Missus S initially stated her husband “was writing something”… Was it an aborted farewell note? or, is “writing” these days interchangeable with email/typing, as with briefing his long-distance lover he would be there on the next flight scheduled?
How could she be (or was she) oblivious to the tryst after so many years, and four children?
Called it!
And at least it was hetro.
What can June be called!!! We’ve had Cocktober and Blowvember. What’s June!!
This reminds me that I have to write a check to the lawyer that my partner and I had to pay to make sure we inherit each other’s estate in case something happens to one of us, God forbid.
Thanks Mark.
Can we start calling the city “Boner Aires?”
I love that he grasps legitimacy by stating that he met “this person” 8 years ago.
Frankly, if he’s been diddling “this person” for 8 years, you’d think he’d be a bit smarter than just disappearing every now and then. What a dumbass.
But
Eliot Spitzerinquiring minds want to know, “How many whore diamonds?”The Cold Sea: Poon. Since it’s a hetero month. Allegedly.
President Beeblebrox: True, dat. Just my thoughts. Bible Spice must be dancin’ a lil ole jig up hot ‘laska way. no doubt, she watched the presser w/baited breath & shrieked “booyah!” whan Markie-boy outed hisself. Ha! Fun times ahead fer sure. Srsly: whadda they got?!
The Cold Sea: Junoitsgonnabegood!
The Cold Sea: Wang Dang Sweet June-Tang!!!
jodyleek: Well that would make sense, flying all the way to Argentina to bone the chick that is after his job, and happens to be a rep in his own state’s legislature. I really should have guessed that one on my own.
Mumbletypeg: She meant this speech. And his epitaph.
nappyduggs: Ah yes, Poon, the first month of the Endless Cummer.
“I don’t know how this thing got blown out of proportion.” –Gov. M. Sanford
Chiselled. In. Stone.
Jonathan “I like my ties the way I like my men” Capehart on MSNBC:
“This shows that maybe what the Republican party is going to have to do is skip a generation and wait for the Meghan McCains[?!] to come of age so that they can run for office and take over the mantle.”
“A colleague of mine made a little joke just before I came on: At the rate the Republicans are going, the only marriages that will be worth anything are the gay folks in Vermont.”
So, the only hope for the Republican party is for Megs to go lesbo?
Obviously, it’s Obama’s fault. If He hadn’t done that stimulus thing that got the Guv all riled up, then Sanford wouldn’t have had to go mano a mano with the leg which of course led to the breakdown that led to the weeklong crying and humping jag to Argentina.
Or, it’s a re-enactment of that classic Blazing Saddles scene with the Great Mel Brooks (”the leading asshole in the state”) complaining about work, work, work before being distracted by a comely set of ta-tas (”hello, boys”).
Terry: “…the reason they’re pullin’ his pants down. Gonna paddle a little behind.”
“Ain’t gonna paddle it - gonna kick it, real hard.”
“No, I believe they’re gonna paddle it.”
“I don’t believe that’s a proper characterization.”
“Well, that’s how I’d characterize it.”
“I believe it’s more of a kickin’ sitcheyation.”
God, I am having so much fun watching the Republican Party implode!!
Woohoo!
Republicans don’t jump through these many hoops to hide affairs with members of the opposite sex. The Argentinian “woman” is some hirsute dude with firm buttcheeks. It’ll come out eventually.
nappyduggs: “The month of Poon” ’cause those one-syllable months can get confusing if you tart up their names.
No kidding - Fox Nooze had “Sanford -(D)” that’s D for Democrat on their caption for the show.
Defending marriage like Pharaoh defended the sanctity of Judea.
The Cold Sea: Poon-tober?
Dude needs to watch this vid man, How to Come Back from a Political Scandal http://www.howcast.com/videos/17521-How-To-Come-Back-From-a-Political-Scandal
Anyone see Drudge’s headline?? “She’s from Argentina!”
WTF??
Fuck–I decide to leave the news off and focus on my work for once and this shit happens. I have to clean the bugs and shit out of the back porch (summer in OK) and it’s a 100F fucking degrees and I have to do childcare for same old man for whom I’m cleaning up the back porch for his friends are going to visit.
I was pissed as hell and all I can say now is (on my knees, hands clasped and head bent:
THANK YOU, GOD!
Now I’ll do all this shit with a happy heart.
The Cold Sea: J’poon?
[quote]“The month of Poon”[/quote]
Excellent.
What a pussy.
Blame it on La Raza Sotomayor. If that messican hadn’t pushed herself forward, poor Markie wouldna wanted a blowjob from Camen Miranda…
Mark Sanford being unfaithful is the least newsworthy item of his trip to Argentina.
I would prefer Mark Sanford talk more about the new Aryan race he and the other
Nazi War Criminals are creating in South America-getting them ready to be
‘proper GOP followers’ for his Presidential run in 2016.
I can’t wait to see the standing ovation he’s gonna get from the Republican Senatorial caucus.
Ensign, you piker!!
Gorillionaire: They have no shame, do they?
This bitch started “sparking” a year ago, when gay marriage was rampant in California. Need Tom Friedman to work this out on a napkin?
Extemporanus:
Meagan McCain?
Did you see her on Bill Mahr’s show on Friday? A trainwreck. The best thing I can say is bless her heart.
Weird, but way too simple. Long distance, hetero love? I think not. Someone needs to scrape his diggin’ machine for DNA.
You all know that Ashley Dupre is kinda Argentinian looking.
When the Jeremy Irons character in the film Obsession pulled this kind of stunt, it was just a train ride to Geneva, somewhat more discreet than flying from South Carolina to Buenos Aires (because there’s so much SC to BA traffic, who would notice?)
vbar: Excellente!
So how long before Fox Noise puts a (D) after his name in the chyron?
Gorillionaire: Here is pic of Sanford (D) on Fox.
I’m imagining him sitting in his office weeping with Patti Lupone playing in the background and him screaming, ” I wish I knew how to quit you!” Ole’ Brokeback Argentina has got him good!
bago: J’acuzzi!
You know, his story still doesn’t explain the “frequent late night car trips without security detail” the State security chief leaked out. Unless he’s driving overnight through the Panama isthmus, sounds like there’s another goomah closer to home…
republican family values at work.
Don’t let the lawn jockey hitcha where the Good Lord splitcha.
IF indeed it is Nikki Haley, here’s a good picture of the stunningly gorgeous Ms. Haley, her charming kids, and her — uh — nice personality husband:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/32938591@N04/3438692548/
And hey, here’s her stand on “Strong Values”:
“Strong families are built on strong values, and strong communities are built on strong families. I’ve always believed that promoting the values that keep a family strong is a vital step in ensuring the health, safety and prosperity of our communities. That’s why I support faith-based initiatives that encourage character education and the development of a strong moral code in our young people. We have economic and educational promises to keep to our future generations, but in fulfilling those obligations we should never forget the central role the family plays in teaching our children right from wrong.”
Joshua Norton: Nice Timing.
Thank you, Ensign Sanford. Your promotion to Lieutenant Cummander will be duly posted.
As a resident of South Carolina (I hate saying that) I want to know who paid for his plane tickets to BA.
Mumbletypeg: Speaking of aborted, is it too much to hope that someone had a camera phone handy and snapped a pick of her going into an abortion clinic?
It’s like the spirit of Bill Clinton is maliciously possessing these fuckers, and Bill Clinton ain’t even dead yet.
vaporware: Surely the Fourth Reich can cum up with better genetic material than Mark friggin’ Sanford…
Funniest posts in a long time. Seriously, people.
Has anybody else who’s looked at a photo of the lady in question noticed a suspicious-looking shadow on “her” upper lip. I’m just sayin’…
Please god, don’t let it be Fanne Fox!
Chicks dig leathery countenanced corpse-like executives with horrible comb-overs? I guess.
Come on people, not easy to keep up with Carmen Miranda.
First Ensign, now Sanford? I can’t wait to hear Limbaugh and Hannity blame this on libruls. Please tell me, is his paramour now or has she ever been an illegal alien? This story just keeps getting better. I can’t wait see what happens next. I suspect midgets and furries are involved somehow.
CthuNHu: Full name: Nimrata Nikki Randhawa Hammina Hammina Hammina Haley
Governor of an anti-immigrant (anti-latino) state has an affair with a…LATINA? Is she wise?
vaporware: While he was in Congress, he took the first step. According to his PBS profile: “In June 1998, he voted against a bill ensuring the preservation of sites important to the Underground Railroad.”
Autochthon: Well with this global economic meltdown in progress, the bumper sticker ‘Heil if you Himmler’ didn’t take off very well-so Mark Sanford was the next affordable option.
I didn’t see the video but did he say something like I kept my promise, you keep your distance?
Here’s my biggest problem with his whole story. If I ever had an affair and had to break it off to save my family, I’d be fucking smart enough to know not to do it 1. over Father’s Day Weekend and 2. to take DAYS to make the break. This whole thing is a total line of bullshit, and I can’t wait for the press to peel back the next layer of this stinky onion of a story.
Shouldn’t the republican party be filing chapter 11 for moral bankruptcy, or something?
Saragon: I’d like to know who paid for the all the fluffy, fluffy towels used to mop up six days of his cascading tears in B.A. and when they’ll be available on EBay.
pumaspaco: No, but like cheap immigrant labor she was available.
S.Luggo: You reckon they’ll be sold as prayer cloths, with HEALING POWERS?!
Mumbletypeg: She meant to say, “he’s RIDING something”
Saragon: And as a Carolina son who’s been very unfaithful, I say with sad certainty that this…is the best we got.
CthuNHu: Dorky looking husband + moral pomposity = Bumpin’ uglies for Jeebus with Governor Gonzo.
A Days Inn in Manhattan was good enough for Gov. Patterson, so Mark Sanford is a lying fornicator AND an elitist, right ?
Lisa: Dad, do you know what schadenfreude is?
Homer: No, I do not know what shaden-frawde is. Please tell me, because I’m dying to know.
Lisa: It’s a German term for “shameful joy,” taking pleasure in the suffering of others.
Homer: Oh, come on, Lisa. I’m just glad to see him fall flat on his butt. He’s usually all happy and comfortable, and surrounded by loved ones, and it makes me feel. … What’s the opposite of that shameful joy thing of yours?
Lisa: Sour grapes.
Homer: Boy, those Germans have a word for everything.
Now, I may be wrong, but to be unfaithful to his wifeypoo, the governor would have had to fuck his Argentinier girliegirl at some point. Either he went for a visit previously or she came to hop in the sack with him in South Carolina. And it started with innocent emails. The guy is a cyberperv. This ain’t over. Christian South Caroliners must support this weird fuckmonkey during his time of trial. He is now apologizing to his neighbor’s chickens and those pigs he brought into the legislature.
MSNBC just played the announcement, the first I’ve seen of it. Now I’m more confused than ever. Is Tom Davis his gay lover? And he met this sexy Latin lady eight years ago as an email penpal?
Can’t Republicans just go hire hookers? They make Democrats look soooo boring.
Sarah T: But he enjoys international travel. I wonder if Mark took any good pictures. Of the scenery.
Gopherit: I smell a rat, too. Who the fuck travels 4,000 miles to cheat on their wife? Lots of very attractive and eager interns and campaign aides (e.g. Ensigns’ aide) at arms reach, availabe for a nooner at the local Marriott. His story sounds like what I told my father when he asked me who gave me the pot he found in my room: “uh, some guy I never met before from out of town”
The Cold Sea: “Poon is bustin’ out all over”
It’s time we get off the Evita song reference and move on to a better show like Carousel.
And when we said “hiking the appalachian trail” we meant to say “chasing some argentinian tail.” Sorry if there was any confusion, folks.
Props to the wife for refusing to show up with Douchenozzle for that pathetic performance. (I hope she was closeted with the meanest lawyer east of the Mizzippi.)
Ken, Jim, you oughta shake out the pic at the gubernor’s website, the one with the stairstep four boys and wife in her dress-up clothes, and HAT. So FAMBLY!
It seems the entire Republican party needs to meet my father-in-law; he works for power company in coastal Texas. Told me that if I ever hurt his little girl, I’d end up buried under a power pole in some remote corner of the King Ranch. Needless to say, my pants stay up and zipped at all times when I’m around non-spouse females persons, whether they are North or or South Americans.
Somebody better check out this Argentinian chick just to make sure she isn’t a tranny!
ph7: He met this person on Ted Stevens Intertubes, didn’t he say? I have a friend who married a Peruvian woman that he Internet-met.
Wasn’t the reason the Family Values crowd went after Clinton was that he supposedly spend tax dollars on his affair? So, Mr. Gov., who paid for the gas in the State car that you drove to the airport? I say, sure, let’s spend $20 million investigating a $47.50 fill-up — it’d be worth every penny.
octupletsmom: I heard him say that, too. I also heard my ex-wife tell me that she met her paramour at an acting camp in the Catskills (800 miles away), when it turned out it was a local actor at the Key Bridge Marriott (1 mile away). I may be projecting, but that’s how this shit goes down.
octupletsmom: I dunno. His story has more of a “My Girlfriend Who Lives in Canada” vibe to it. There’s more here.
I heard he was doing the Hula with Lula, but this is ri-goddamn—dickulous.
Cross off South Carolina for available poon. If SaNford had to fly to Argentina to get his pole smoked, I’ll try Atlanta.
Fox put a (D) in front of another flame out, I think it was Mark Foley. As much as they claim to likey the marriage, they’re all divorced from reality.
This Sanford is such an easy mark, he’s drawn lurkers over the corners on the wonketteuniverse and turned everyone into Henny Youngman.
This should knock Oklahoma off the asshat radar for a couple of days, at least.
There’s no fucking way this man does not have a love child. I agree that it’s weird he’d fly down Father’s Day weekend and that he’d fly down period. Why not just end it over the phone. I feel like there was someone he *had* to see - like a kid. John Edwards whistles and walks away.
ph7: So true-I’m still hoping for a teenage boy or a male prostitute
Jenny Sanford: I kicked his ass out two weeks ago already:
http://www.midlandsconnect.com/news/news_story.aspx?id=317053
The Cold Sea: Poon?
Gopherit: I really think there’s a kid. He apologized to his wife by name but didn’t he just apologize to “my kids”. Someone should’ve asked him about a love child. I have a feeling it would have tripped him up big time. Dude’s just not as smooth as John Edwards to the north.
bitchincamaro: “blown out of proportion” … heh … despite the delicious inadvertent pun, I keep wondering why no one ever pointed out that Ken Starr et al were … um … blowing the Monica thing out of proportion.
Oh. Yeah. ‘Cause the rules are different when it’s a Repub who’s been caught.
All I can say is karma bites, repugs. Bill Clinton must be laughing his a$$ off (I’m sure someone said that already)!
rocktonsammy: Yeah, according to the HIV/AIDS Atlas Atlanta is best for that sort of thing…
No doubt they are doing this intentionally, if Hitler could be repeatedly proclaimed a leftist, then Sanford can certainly be called a Democrat.
yeah, the repugs love marriage so much that they have to keep trashing it in public just to prove that . . . .
uh . . .
the repugs support family values because . . .
uh . . .
. . . REPUGS! vote for us because we suck! and tax cuts for the wealthy! RAH!
His emails to his paramour are out! Seems Sanford is a breast man…
liquiddaddy: The only important word in that sentence is “executives”.
ph7: Jenny. Get. A. Lawyer.
I’ve had sex in Argentina. It’s pretty good so I can see how his heart is broken. But my all time favorites are Japanese and Lebanese sex. Oh yeah
Mahousu: Yeah, right. Then why did she say several days ago that he was writing something and wanted space to get away from the kids.
zippy123: Well, right about Obama. They’ve known each other for years, but a year ago, it sparked. It was stimulated, and it needed change.
That and the lax moral atmosphere in the White House since W departed. They don’t wear ties and jackets in the Ovum Orifice any more.
Lascauxcaveman: Of course, yes. FTW, also.
Sanford:)
It won’t be easy, you’ll think it strange
When I try to explain where I was
that I still need your votes after all that I’ve done
You won’t believe me
All you will see is a republican you once voted for
Although he’s dressed down and flayed
All sucked and fucked and blue
I had to let it happen, I had to change
Couldn’t stay all my life down at heel
Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun
So I chose freedom
Running around, screwing all that new,
But nothing impressed me at all
I never expected any woman to
Chorus:
Don’t cry for me South Carolina
The truth is I never (really) left you (for more than a week)
All through my wild days (at taxpayer expense)
My mad existence
I kept my promise (to pretend to not take the stimulus)
Don’t keep your distance from my name at the voting booth.
And as for fortune, and as for fame
I always invited them in
Though it seemed to the world (rightly) they were all I desired
They are not illusions
They are the solutions they promised to be
The answer was here (confession and fake humility) all the time
I love you (wink wink)and hope you love me
Don’t cry for me South Carolina
(chorus)
Have I shared too much?
There’s always more I can think of to say to you.
But all you have to do is look at me to know
That every word is untrue.
I could digress and say that you have the ability to give magnificent gentle kisses, or that I love your tan lines or that I love the curve of your hips, the erotic beauty of you holding yourself (or two magnificent parts of yourself) in the faded glow of the night’s light - but hey, that would be going into sexual details …
Happy Mother’s Day
[i][b]Paid for by the Elect Mark Sanford for President Campaign [/i][/b]
Even for someone like myself who takes an unhealthy interest in political sexcapades, this presser was a doozy. Almost feel sorry for this prick. Despite the lack of resignation today, cannot but feel that’s what’s next for this gov’nor. Next up, Sanford as Argentine beef industry lobbyist?
Why the fuck did he even mention emails during the press conference? Those will be up for bidding soon…
I never would have thought he was cool enough to have an Argentine mistress and a Buenos Aires fuckpad. I mean seriously. That’s awesome. I figured him for a meth shack in the woods with a male escort.
He will go down in history as the Governor famous for his failed resistance to Stimulus.
WithMySFValues: Argentine pork?
Plane tickets? Passport info? Presents for the kids? There are no motels in Atlanta? It can’t be that hard to find out what’s really been going on.
That’s not Mark Sanford. That’s Mork Sonford.
