s-sanford-largeSince Mark Sanford admitted-after-he-was-caught that he’d visited his mistress, Maria Belen Chapur, while on a government-funded trip to Argentina, he will have to reimburse part of the cost of that trip to the state of South Carolina. 

Sanford maintained that the purpose of the trip had not been to visit his Palermo-based girlfriend, but to conduct actual business. Not necessarily, you know. Biznass:

However, while the purpose of this trip was an entirely professional and appropriate business development trip, I made a mistake while I was there in meeting with the woman who I was unfaithful to my wife with. That has raised some very legitimate concerns and questions, and as such I am going to reimburse the state for the full cost of the Argentina leg of this trip.

Sanford’s email correspondence with Chapur indicate that he was very much wanting to visit her in Argentina. After all, who would not miss “listening to country music playing in the cab, air conditioner running, the hum of a huge diesel engine in the back ground, the tranquillity that comes with being in a virtual wilderness of trees and marsh.” Amiright?

Recently, news came out that Sanford has been using taxpayer money to fund various trips, including others to Argentina. He was, in fact, South Carolina’s top government spender.

    He went over the line. He not only was unfeithful to his wife, he was also unfeithful and abuse to his constituents. I feel sorry for him because he is a disaster, a totally failure. And republican don’t even say a word because they are fighting and concentrate more in what to do to ruin Pres. Obama, Like is a President of Kenya and not USA. Well, my condolence for the governor of South Caroline because he is done profesionally. He is really a hard head cause still want to continue as a poliitic! About his wife, I believe she has no nerves to go in her own with her children, that are the best treasure a mother can have. I think, she is afraid to lose all what she has and prefer to look like a fool. She is not repecting herself as a woman and he is a pig. I feel sorry for Maria cause she was and idiot thinking that the governor will keep her forever. Women, wake up! Men don’t love us, Men just wish us…. Experience woman
