Gov Sanfords was in South America!

He just apologized to her for "putting her life on the line."

Huh???

I know. Shouldn't he just lie and let it blow over?

Why all this "truth"?

During an emotional news conference, SC Gov. Stanford said he is resigning as chairman of the Republican Governors Association.

MSNBC's dummy box said he's resigning as govenor.

FOX lost transmission, so I switched to MSNBC.

Did anyone else catch him saying jepordize the lives of the mistress, wife, and family???

Seriously. This is him doing his best to be completely vague so that alibi's can be assembled after the fact. Any more questions and he'll begin making mistakes. They'll end the conference soon.

Yeah...


Um, huh?

Oh, man, as soon as they start asking for details on the inconsistencies in the stories he immediately hemmed and hawed and called an end to the press conference.

He's runnin' out...

THE END

No comment to the question of resigning as Governor.

calm down. No, this guy opposed the Federal Government in rejecting the stimulus and engaged in a lawsuit about it, and did it in the limelight, I can't imagine the toll something like this takes on a person, but it did take a toll.

As for him being a Christian, I was not accepting his sin but finding compassion for the man.

I did not say there is an anti-Christian conspiracy.

I think he took responsibility for his actions. He said repeatedly that he is wrong.

That would be just the type of freudian slip I would expect out of a hastily assembled conference. I'll start looking for an archived copy

End of conference... last question
as he was leaving... will you resign,
no answer... so they asked the question
again to his aid, again no answer.

Blood in the water. Media feeding frenzy follows.

In a stunning confession, South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford admitted Wednesday to being "unfaithful" to his wife during a press conference meant to account for his mysterious week-long absence.

"I've let down a lot of people. That's the bottom line," he said. "I've been unfaithful to my wife."

Sanford, who just returned from Argentina, said he developed a "relationship with what started out as a dear, dear friend from Argentina."

The governor "apologized" profusely to his family, his staff and the people of South Carolina.

The first-hand account was meant to settle mounting questions over the governor's whereabouts.

Confusion only intensified Wednesday morning after The State newspaper reported that Sanford had just returned from Argentina, even though his staff claimed the disappearing governor was hiking on the Appalachian Trail a few hours away from the state capital.

Precisely.

Called it on page 3. They are out to ruin him. Admit to an affair...OR ELSE.

He never said the words "I resign my post as Governor"... he said "I think it best I resign my post as Republican Committe Chair to free it up for someone else."

So, you are working thru an affair for five months..
then willy nilly run off to Argentina for a week,
knowing it will hit the fan... then come back to
SC all teary eyed and contrite.

NOT BUYING IT !!

Another republican, another lieing deceitful weasel, another one down many more to go until their all out.

During an emotional news conference, SC Gov. Stanford said he is resigning as chairman of the Republican Governors Association.

he did not resign as governor. However, did you hear the screams when Fox lost transmission?! LOL

Still strange to say "jeopardized the life" imo.. and sorry for my spelling earlier. was typing fast.

Found this on another blog

Why did you cheat? The bubble of politics.
Why did you text underage pages? The bubble of politics.
Why did you hire that hooker? The bubble of politics.

"Yeah, I agree."

I heard that. Hopefully they were able to watch it on MSNBC.
LOL

At least its a chick and not a page.

Don't cry for me Argentina.

I feel sick to my stomach about this.

I actually feel sorry for him, and of course his wife, Jenny, and their four sweet boys.

Sin sucks! It hurts everyone!

I called it too

washington post writes fast?


UPDATE, 2:30 p.m., ET: Well, it doesn't get much crazier than this. Governor Sanford made a stunning admission at his news conference this afternoon that he has been having an extramarital affair with a "dear dear friend" in Argentina. The affair, he said, began "very innocently" but blossomed into "something much more than that."

"I've been unfaithful to my wife," Sanford said. "As a consequence, I hurt her, you all, my wife, my boys, my friends like Tom Davis. I hurt a lot of different folks. All I can say is that I apologize."

Sanford said he will resign as chairman of the Republican Governors' Association.

Original Posting

How quickly they fall. Last week it was Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.); this week it's South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford.

With the bizarre revelation that Sanford was AWOL for five days in Buenos Aires -- and not hiking the Appalachian Trail, as his staff had said -- we think it's fair to say today may mark the death knell for two 2012 Republican presidential hopefuls.

Compared to Sanford, Ensign's crime was so pedestrian: he had an extramarital affair with a campaign staffer who was a longtime friend of his wife and married to another Ensign aide. And the senator came forward to admit the affair only after his ex-mistress's husband approached a TV network to expose the scandal.

Sanford, on the other hand, is guilty of disappearing for days on end without disclosing his whereabouts, leaving his entire state leaderless and his family wondering where Daddy was on Father's Day.

While his wife said she had no clue where her husband was, Sanford's spokesman Joel Sawyer said the governor was hiking the Appalachian Trail. And he stuck to that story even after Sanford's chief of staff reportedly got a call from the governor -- who was really in Argentina -- on Tuesday. So it would appear Sawyer either lied about Sanford's true whereabouts, or was misled and passed that lie along to the public. (Asked this morning at the Atlanta airport why his staff thought he was hiking the Appalachian Trail, Sanford said, "I don't know.")

The Sanford drama is a screenplay that writes itself. Please give us your thoughts on who should play the governor, his wife, his chief of staff and his lieutenant governor, who -- bless his heart, as we say in the Carolinas -- was left completely in the dark.
