Here's what South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford had to say after his unexplained absence:
"I've been unfaithful to my wife and I've developed a relationship with what started as a dear, dear friend from Argentina," he finally said. The affair has been going on for a year, he later explained.
Sanford announced that he is resigning as head of the Republican Governors Association.
"I spent the past five days of my life crying in Argentina," he said, "so I could come back and cry here."
Okay, did anyone besides me notice that he did not mention the gender of his dear, dear friend with whom he's fucking?
***UPDATE*** It's a woman named Maria. Sanford just failed to mention gender at first, causing me to presume that it was another GOP Foley/Craig deal.
The plot thickens.
Scratch off one more Republican who was eyeing a run for the White House.
I may have to become a conservative Jesus freak. They sure seem to get a lot of sexy time!
