Has anyone seen my governor? (His Argentinian mistress has) - Page 2

flere-imsaho · 06-24-2009, 01:21 PM

He's late to his own press conference.

Also, I love the potential double meanings of "wanting to do something exotic".

ISiddiqui · 06-24-2009, 01:24 PM

I'm just waiting to hear more details now. It's going to turn out he was hunting Nazis in Argentina

.

ISiddiqui · 06-24-2009, 01:33 PM

Apparently its an affair with an Argentine woman.

Ronnie Dobbs2 · 06-24-2009, 01:35 PM

Wow. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

albionmoonlight · 06-24-2009, 01:41 PM

just amazingly dumb.

Have the affair if you want, but think about having a cover story in case someone notices you falling off the face of the earth for a week and decides to look into it.

ISiddiqui · 06-24-2009, 01:43 PM

Apparently this has been quite the press conference, according to the Twitterati. Very brutally honest is what I'm reading.

albionmoonlight · 06-24-2009, 01:44 PM

Oh, and he should have learned a lesson from Clinton. There is no reason that you even have to leave your office, let alone the country, in order to have an affair.

Ben E Lou · 06-24-2009, 01:46 PM

On the one hand, you have the opportunity to perhaps become President Of The United States, The Most Powerful Man On The Planet.

And on the other, you have the chance to get some Argentinian poon-tang.

Easy choice, I guess.

*shurg*

That's kind of the sense I'm getting from the little blurbs. The full transcript might be an interesting read.

What I can't tell is whether he clearly intended to fess up from the beginning of the press conference or if he just sort of got rolling and ended up doing so.

Either way, almost seems like he just kind of said "fuck it, I'd rather be doing this (or her) than what I'm doing".

Not a good couple of weeks for the party of "family values". If this kind of news comes in threes I'd expect to hear that Sarah Palin's been banging another man real soon.

Longer versions & a couple of blogs and I guess that was his intention all along.
But it would have been more entertaining if it wasn't.

Thomkal · 06-24-2009, 01:55 PM

bye bye presidential aspirations Governor. man what an embarassment

DaddyTorgo · 06-24-2009, 01:55 PM

i was so right

DaddyTorgo · 06-24-2009, 01:56 PM

did his wife know about it? or did she honestly think he was hiking in the woods?

His wife has known about it for months, apparently. I don't understand how a woman could live like that.

LEAVE HIM!

Period.

DaddyTorgo · 06-24-2009, 01:58 PM

that's messed up. a lot of the time i think these politician's wives are more ambitious and power-hungry than the men themselves.

cartman · 06-24-2009, 02:09 PM

So I guess he decided to give a stimulus package, instead of receiving.

To be fair, he could have given and received some stimulus, just on different trips...

He was there like four days. Even a man of his age could manage both during a trip that long.

At least we now know why his wife was so unconcerned about his absence.

I. J. Reilly · 06-24-2009, 02:49 PM

All joking aside, I think the only mature response at this point is to reserve judgment until pictures surface. Only then can we comment intelligently.

Honolulu_Blue · 06-24-2009, 03:07 PM

This guy's already resigned? Weak sauce.

Kawme Kilpatrick was found to have had an affair with his chief of staff, paid a $9 million settlement for wrongfully terminating two police officers who knew about this affair with city money, lied under oath about all of this, was charged with something like 15 different criminal offenses and he STILL refused to resign as mayor of Detroit for like 10 months.

Having an affair with an Argentinian mistress? That's nothing.

Resigned as the leader of the Republican Governor's Association, not as governor itself, unless there's new news I've missed

Maybe. I think they've done it so many times now that it's hard to believe it's an accident.

Period.

I wouldn't fault a woman for that decision, but if they genuinely want to save their marriage I don't fault that either. The parents of my daughter's best friend went through adultery and spent quite a while working on their marriage. In the end they stayed together and now do a lot of marriage counseling for other couples in trouble. I don't think they'd choose to go through it if they could go back in time, but they've stayed together and turned a potential tragedy into a hell of a lot of good.

honestly, I thought he was going to say he was gay, and/or he was having sex with Lindsay Graham. Straight adulterous sex was the last thing I expected.

Maybe hunting Nazis in an Argentinan.

Apparently he's very lucky that the South Carolina legislature is out for several months. The rules state that when the governor leaves the country, he MUST turn over power while he's outside the US to the Lt Gov. I guess it's an impeachable offense..

“I think it would be much better for the country and for him personally (to resign). I come from the business side. If you had a chairman or president in the business world facing these allegations, he’d be gone.” [Sanford on Clinton, The Post and Courier, 9/12/98]

“The issue of lying is probably the biggest harm, if you will, to the system of Democratic government, representatives government, because it undermines trust. And if you undermine trust in our system, you undermine everything.” [Sanford on Clinton, CNN, 2/16/99]
