Exclusive: Sanford booked 10-day getaway

On or around the day his wife asked him to move out, South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford booked a ten-day trip to Buenos Aires, a person familiar with the governor's travel plans told POLITICO.

Sanford booked the trip on Delta Air Lines on June 10, using the company's SkyMiles program, the source said. He bought a ticket for June 18, returning June 28.

Jenny Sanford said yesterday, June 24, that she'd "asked my husband to leave two weeks ago."

Sanford's trip was cut short after the local press raised questions about his absence, but the dates offer a glimpse into both his decision to depart as his marriage frayed, and after months of counseling.

1. L O O N E Y - T O O N E S ! ! !

his pee-pee was typing in his skymiles number and ordering his ticket online while he was sleeping, I assume.

his pee-pee has a lot to answer for.

damn his pee-pee to hell

13. You sound like a Republican

Everything is about sex...If the word Gay is brought up they immediately think of Sex and not a loving relationship. There are actually many loving relationships where sex plays almost no role at all.

[maseman]

19. Yes a nice loving relationship

WHILE CHEATING ON HIS FUCKING WIFE!

I agree that it may have been more than sex but come on...most flings aren't about deep loving relationships. They are about a heat seeking moisture missel launch.

2. And we have a name

that is likely that of Sanford's lover, as he was seen at a bar with her:

Maria Belen Chapur

[ejpoeta]

3. so instead of six days of crying he had expected ten days of crying??

[chollybocker]

4. Six days crying; the other four days "clearing his head," thrustingly, repeatedly,

If you catch my drift...

[Christa]

11. He only cried because he was found out

crocodile tears ...

[Gman]

5. He's a Republic. Why is anyone at all surprised or shocked.

[Duer 157099]

6. OMG, you KNOW he wishes he had stayed the full 10 days!

Wow, he will be kicking himself forever.

[rvablue]

7. Kick. n/t

[depakid]

8. Exclusive Politico!

Please.

9. Europeans are probably baffled as to America's faux Puritanism

I submit to you Silvo Berlusconi. The Italian Prime Minister has had a long string of juicy sex scandals, and he still remains in office as powerful as ever.

I wish Sanford the best wishes as he moves to Argentina to live with the woman that he loves. He'll be happier there.

[No Elephants]

16. When did Silvo insist that other unfaithful politicians of both parties resign or be impeached?

Sivo is disgusting, IMO, but not anywhere near as hypocritical as Sanford. And Sanford was not hypocriticazl only about infidelity. He had a lot to say about politicians who lie about their affairs, too.

10. Found this article in Argentina's press on Sanford's mistress María Belén Chapur

María Belén Chapur, y no es funcionaria, sino una atractiva morocha de 43 años, vecina de Palermo, divorciada hace mucho tiempo, madre de dos hijos adolescentes y ejecutiva de la firma Bunge&Born.

María Belén Chapur is not a civil servant, but an attractive brunette 43 years old, resident of Palermo, divorced long ago, mother of two adolescent children and an executive of the firm Bunge & Born (an Argentina-based multinational corporation).


On edit:

She worked briefly as a TV reporter:

17. I thought Sanford said his mistress is married?

[kskiska]

12. Marriage is between a man and a woman and a woman in Argentina

[tj2001]

14. Well, crying takes time. Sometimes ten days

or more.

[sarcasmo]

15. I am kicking every Sanford story to the top, we can't let this die.

[No Elephants]

18. So, he thought ending the affair (5 months after wife found out) would take 10 days, but managed to

end the affair in half the time? Kudos!


Wonder how Mrs. Sanford felt when she heard him say he went to Argentina to end the affair and had spent 5 days crying in Argentina? Nothing like hearing your dh say leaving his mistress makes him cry for 5 days, even if you don't believe that he really went there to end the affair.


This guy is either nuts or a slime or both.

[sarcasmo]

20. Kick, this guy needs to be destroyed.
