After seeing a couple pictures of Sanford’s very cute brunette girlfriend, Maria Belen Shapur, (those gossip websites are on the job!), I leaned that she is 43 years old, and lives in a Buenos Aires apartment which is located near the Buenos Aires Zoo. She has two teenage sons that are living at home with her.

Well, to be fair, his mind has been on certain tan lines in Argentina. ;)

“The State has removed the woman’s full name and other personal details, including her address, e-mail address and children’s names…According to the doorman, the woman has two sons, one a teenager of driving age and the other younger.“

************************************************************

Did anyone else read this and wonder just how much younger the second son might be? The article doesn’t really provide any further information. Is it possible that the second son is Sanford’s child? The news reports state that he and this woman have known one another for eight years even though the affair only started a year ago. One time is sufficient to get a woman pregnant, after all, if the circumstances are right — and she could quite easily have been pregnant and given birth within the space of a year. It might explain why he chose to go down there during Father’s Day weekend — although the fact that his wife reportedly asked him to stay away from their family might have had something to do with it as well. Since that supposedly only happened a couple of weeks ago, it’s not impossible that this was one of the reasons why he claims to have been crying during his time in Argentina even though he was with his mistress.

hey all – did you see THIS? (i’ve been out of town all day)…
whodduthunit… so roMANtic!

Sanford e-mail to mistress: Situation ‘hopelessly impossible’

http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/06/24/south.carolina.governor.emails/

but there’s this:

(CNN) — South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford told the woman with whom he was having an affair they were “in a hopelessly impossible situation of love” last year when he was thought to be under consideration for the Republican vice presidential nomination, according to e-mails obtained by The State newspaper.

The e-mails between the GOP governor and a Buenos Aires, Argentina, resident named “Maria,” were exchanged in July of last year, according to the newspaper.

bastids knew about it for a looong time…

Game,Set,Match!

Weeellll, at least we now know why the Bush administration and Cheney’s office destroyed so many millions of e-mails…all those steamy, sexual Republican messages between top officials in the Bush administration.

I can just see them now….

No, no, no, the Republicans didn’t destroy all those e-mails because torture was discussed as well as how they could somehow paint legal lipstick on that torture pig, nor was there any discussion about stealing elections nor lying about going to war in Iraq nor authorizing illegal warrantless wiretaps nor using the NSA to spy on political enemies nor outing a covert CIA agent nor politicizing Hurricane Katrina (where the Bush administration sent federal disaster relief into Mississippi and Alabama because these two states had Republican governors, while at the same time the Bush administration deliberately withheld emergency federal aid from Louisiana and New Orleans, where elected Democrats were in charge)…it was all that sex, sex, sex in those destroyed White House messages…that was the sole thrust of many of those “family values” Bush administration communications. Yep! Yep!

Oh, and to add to the current list:

He was crying because his “stimulus package” was lost at the airport.

“I am being a mom today. I have not heard from my husband. I am taking care of my children.“ (emphasis mine)

Hardly anyone in the mainstream media picked up on that particular choice of words — even though a clue suggesting that all was not well in the Sanford household was right under their noses the whole time. Granted, it’s not unusual to hear a woman use the word “my” rather than “our” when speaking of her children — but I think you have to admit that when a woman uses that particular pronoun when her husband is the topic of conversation, it’s usually not an accident and often indicates that she’s extremely upset with him. The fact that she didn’t seem to be terribly worried about him even though it was Father’s Day and nobody seemed to know where the father of her children had gone or why, well…that should have spoken volumes, but it didn’t. At the very least, it should have been enough for some reporter to make a connection and realize that on this one occasion, two plus two equaled three.

About the hypocrisy of closeted gay republicans.

“Baby better come back, maybe next week, ’cause you see I’m on a losing streak”, he “can’t get no satisfaction.”

Well, technically, his oldest could be more than 20. Can anyone say Sarah Palin?

Good one, we should start a Top Ten List of the reasons he was crying.

Or he was crying because his mistress didn’t have the “equipment” he really wanted.

What kind of a father would ditch his minor age children for an affair on Father’s Day?

The family value’s of the Party of NN has hit an all time low.

Maybe he was crying all weekend because he forgot his Cialis
