Gov. Mark Sanford of South Carolina:
Gov. Mark Sanford will spend the long Fourth of July holiday weekend with his wife, Jenny, and their family in Florida, his office said today.Sanford will leave for Florida on Friday morning...
Jenny Sanford and the couple's four sons are spending time with her parents in Loblolly Bay, a gated community in Hobe Sound.
Ouch. Visiting the in-laws after admitting to adultery on national television. Talk about some awkward conversation. I'm guessing that there were more fireworks than just the ones in the skies over the town.

Maybe it won't be so bad if he can bring his soulmate along.

I wonder if the Mrs. is going to make the Mr. sleep on the couch.
I wonder how he's going to explain all those torrid emails to his kids.
And will he call his Argentine firecracker this weekend?

I'm surprised that Limbaugh and his fellow talingfuckheads haven't started pushing the theory that the Argentinian lady isn't a DNC/Hugo Chavez agent, who was pumping Sanford while he was, er, entertaining her. Golly, maybe she was even born as part of the same plot (in that CIA hospital in Kenyawaii to) to sociamatize the U.S. I love playing disconnect the dots.

That's what happens when you put the Owlsley sugarcube in your tea.
Should have read.

Demo - Nah, the Argentine lady (codenamed: Ipanema) was really a Superheterodyne system 101 Cyborg from the future sent by Hairnet (via the OTT&MCD*) to destabilise the Republican Party by.. err.. 'pumping' a Republican Sentator, & for inforomation too!
Meanwhile the Gubernator has been sent to protect the mother of the leader of the future Human Resistance - Trig (Cue John Connor: We're not gonna make it, are we?) ...
Hmm.. sounds like a great plot. Now all I've got to do is find my other TARDIS, go back to the '83 and pitch it to James Cameron (Oh and James, I've this great idea for a bum-numbing love story set aboard the Titanic, it's running time is only 3 or 4 hours...)
Next time we meet I'll be a gazillionaire!! - Richly DJ

Ah, this explains the Palin resignation, as she may need to go on the lam to protect Trig.

If he'd only take his family a bit further north (or alternatively, by his accounts, very far south) he could take 'em hiking on the Appalachian Trail!
