Another one bites the dust.

COLUMBIA, S.C. – After going AWOL for seven days, Gov. Mark Sanford admitted Wednesday that he had secretly flown to Argentina to visit a woman with whom he was having an affair. Wiping away tears, he apologized to his family and gave up a national Republican Party post, but was silent on whether he would resign.
"I've been unfaithful to my wife," he said in a news conference in which the 49-year-old governor ruminated on God's law, moral absolutes and following one's heart. He said he spent the last five days "crying in Argentina."

Boo hoo. Another teary confession from somebody who got caught. Now, he's Mister Apology - lamenting his twisted life. People like that always ruminate on God's law once they're caught. If he had a brain in his little head, he'd have had her flown to South Carolina and his little tryst would still be going on. But he's a dumbass on top of being a Republican.

"He left the state unattended," said Glenn Mitchell, 54 of Columbia, out of work recuperating from surgery. "He just hasn't been there for us."

Something tells me that South Carolina kind of runs itself. You might be better off unattended.

Sanford described the woman, who lives in Argentina as a "dear, dear friend" whom he has known for about eight years and been romantically involved with for about a year. He said he has seen her three times since the affair began, and his wife found out about it five months ago.

OK, so a year, and now he got caught and out comes the teary-eyed apology. Another death-bed confession.

Apparently, Sanford was an early contender for the Republican presidential race in 2012. What a shame we won't have him to kick around.

As a congressman, Sanford voted in favor of three of four articles of impeachment against President Bill Clinton, citing the need for "moral legitimacy."

Oops.

Every once in a while I ask myself, "Why would someone spend millions of dollars to get a job that pays $100,000 a year?" And every once in a while, I get an answer.

Cooch in Argentina. This Philistine Stick-insect can get a B.J. overseas and I'm sitting here eating chicken fingers with a cat coughing up hairballs. Where do I sign up?

I'm guessing that he has a nice stockpile of money that he's made from his graft in politics, in addition to a list of babes willing to service him because he was in politics. We're supposed to ask, "What is this teaching the kids?" It's teaching them that power gets you stuff. Just don't get caught.

And every kid thinks they're smart enough not to get caught.
