Sanford’s Been A Naughty Boy
Oh, Mark Sanford, why won’t you let me ignore you?
The State newspaper has a timeline out on the uncovering of the Mark Sanford affair, with some new juicy tidbits.
A reporter called a Sanford staffer, saying the paper had e-mails that outlined an affair between the governor and Maria. Unless Sanford would address the issue privately, The State would have no choice but to ask him — with TV crews filming — if he knew Maria at his press conference that afternoon.
The names of two other women tumbled into the newsroom.
Fearful Sanford’s staffers did not get it — that the paper would ask publicly what Sanford’s relationship was with Maria — a State editor called Davis, Sanford’s former chief of staff.
Davis, a Beaufort lawyer, recently had been elected to the state Senate. When called, he quickly said he no longer worked for Sanford.
The editor said he knew that but wanted to talk with Davis. Sanford had landed from Argentina, and the paper had e-mails about an affair with a woman in Argentina.
The editor told Davis why he thought the e-mails were genuine. They mentioned Coosaw, the Sanford plantation, and Sanford’s love of digging holes; they quoted Bible verses and contained details about Sanford’s known schedule.
And more names of women were coming in over the transom. The total was at three and counting.
“Women?!” Davis responded, sounding incredulous. “Women?!”
With these additional revelations, I really don’t see how Sanford will be able to survive the calls for resignation.
Why? The calls for Governor Sanford’s resignation, at least from conservatives, are due to his five days of no call/ no show from work. If it’s just a matter of whether he was screwing around, one would think that my good friends at the Delaware Liberal, the ones to whom sex is just a private matter that should never have caused President Clinton any problems, would support Mr Sanford retaining his position.
You obviously haven’t been reading us then. We don’t really care about his affair. The reason I think he won’t be able to resist calls for him to resign much longer is that there are more revelations coming, that’s all. He’s obviously been lying more than we thought.
I think he should resign because of his dereliction of duty.
And Dana, you don’t speak for me or anyone else at Delaware Liberal.
Sanford’s love of digging holes
You can’t make this stuff up.
I think his resignation statement should say that he wants to spend more time digging holes.
Dana,
After you join “Promise Keepers” and go around telling everyone what a moral, God loving hero you are – sex stops being private.
Them’s the rules – so suck it.
I think he’s going to spend more time filling holes.
More women than Jenny and Maria? I wonder if he used the “holding yourself in the moonlight” line on all of them?
While Gov. Sanford can afford to jet set off to Argentina.
The citizens of South Carolina currently enjoy an unemployment rate of 12.1% . That’s 20% higher than the national average.

Sanford got the people of SC to pay for him to see his girlfriend, Argentina was added to a South American trip at the last moment at Sanford’s request.
