True love wins out

<snip>
Former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford is engaged to Maria Belen Chapur, the Argentinean woman with whom he had an affair, Clarin reports.

According to the Argentinian outlet, the pair made their plans to wed official on Wednesday. South Carolina-based station WLTX reports on the news from Clarin:

The story goes on to say that Sanford put the ring in a bag and gave it to one of the waiters and then went to wait in the bathroom, asking the waiters to invent a good story for his girlfriend.

When Chapur arrived at the restaurant one of the waiters gave her the bag with the ring in it and said that she had won the prize for being the 100th customer of the day. She opened the bag and found then ring and then Sanford appeared and asked her to marry him.

Not only that but he gave a wonderful euphemism for going off to have illicit sex "Just going to hike the Appalachian trail,"

And it happens just as frequently (if not more) to the people who publicly scold the rest of us about our private lives.

But at least this guy had the brains to STFU, unlike Gingrich and the wide-stance guy and all the other morally superior rethugs.
