    Don't forget pages.

    Republican Congressmen certainly don't.

    ...Argentinian man or woman?

    He's used the term "she" several times.

    That doesn't mean "she" doesn't have a penis, though.

    I'm sure he just means an adulterous affair. The argentinian thing is kind of an interesting permutation but all in all this is a little bit of a letdown. After so much buildup a plain old affair just seems kind of lame.

    This was the odds on favorite all along, though. Illegitimate kids, rehab, third reichiness, etc were all wild supposition.

    When an important man disappears for a week, they're probably just getting some. The only real twist is who/what from.

    Wow. GOP presidential contenders have been dropping like flies. So did he at least cheat with a woman or is he another member of the GOP closet self-hating homosexuals club? And how the fuck did he think he would get away with this in the information age?

    EDIT: OK so woman.

    What, did he meet her on OkCupid or something? How do you know a woman in Argentina? Or was it just a random trip where he used the "I'm a Governer in the United States" pick up line which is so popular in other countries?

    Well, obviously the crazier stuff was just us being facetious but I actually thought rehab was pretty likely, especially before we found out he was in another country. Most politicians make their mistresses come to them instead of the other way around.

    Sanford is completely toast. He just lost evangelicals AND responsible government types with this stunt. There's no coming back from going AWOL for 5 days to get your weenie whacked. Edit: By a furiner.

    How the fuck hard is it to tell everyone you're going out of the country for a quick vacation this week with some friends, take the freaking vacation time, and cheat on the sly.

    Going AWOL without anyone knowing what the shit was up/having a cover story is just.. amazingly stupid.

    He could have flown her somewhere, I suppose

    If there was an abortion I seriously doubt we'll ever know about it.

    Do we know the identity of this person (ie, are they a diplomat or something)? Surely he didn't fly halfway across the world to bang some random Argentinian housewife.

    Not necessarily, the abortion could have been performed in the US. Its not like he planned for this to get out now, all indications seem to point to him being surprised that he got caught this time. By his own admission his wife knew about this affair and it had gone on for a year. Yet he still went away from the better part of a week with her?

    Not surprised at all, except that it was with a woman instead of a man or a transsexual.

    Also, I can't believe he said this:
    "I spent the past five days of my life crying in Argentina," he said, "so I could come back and cry here."

    It's like a practical joke or something.
