Sanford Talks Of 'Soul Mate,' Other Ladies In Most Embarrassing Interview Yet

When Governor Mark Sanford tearfully admitted last week that he had an affair with some gal who he actually liked a lot, many people wrote approvingly of his candor, and the fact that he didn't say "Meh, I was just boning some slutty slut, it meant nothing." He had feelings and things, and maybe a decent amount of respect for his mistress! But now we learn that all of his "dear, dear friend" claptrap was just a precursor to atorrentof undignified, cruelly narcissistic oversharing.

 This is not something a mature adult in charge ofrunning a statesays to a reporter.

During an emotional interview at his Statehouse office with The Associated Press on Tuesday, Sanford said Chapur is his soul mate but he's trying to fall back in love with his wife.

"Soul mate," really? Who is this fucking guy, Anne of Green Gables? And:

South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford says he "crossed lines" with a handful of women other than his mistress — but never had sex with them.

The governor says he "never crossed the ultimate line" with anyone but Maria Belen Chapur, the Argentine at the center of a scandal that has derailed Sanford's once-promising political career.

So what are we talking about here, exactly? Finger banging? Anal? Governor Sanford will have to holdanotherhorrifying interview to illuminate this very important question.
