What can make the Governor of a State act in the most absurd way? Love? Yeah right! We can argue amongst ourselves that Keith and Rachel shouldn't have read the salacious emails online. That a persons personal life should stay just that personal. But in the case of Governor Sanford I think we are missing a key point. This wasn't about hiding from the public to go off and be with his mistress, no, this was about a selfish Governor STILL trying to lie to his wife.
stay with me here:
Jenny Sanford
"When I found out about my husband's infidelity I worked immediately to first seek reconciliation through forgiveness, and then to work diligently to repair our marriage," she said in a release. "We reached a point where I felt it was important to look my sons in the eyes and maintain my dignity, self-respect, and my basic sense of right and wrong. I therefore asked my husband to leave two weeks ago."
So she kicks him out 2 weeks ago and the first thing the Governor of South Carolina can think to do is hop on a plane and go be with his mistress? And over the father's day weekend? What a pure unabashed weasel. I would argue that his getting in a state vehicle and pulling off the disappearance wasn't because he wanted to hide his affair from the public but because he wanted to have his cake and eat it too. He wanted to hide it from the women who helped finance and run every campaign the man has ever been in.

When South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford cheated on his wife, he also betrayed his top political adviser.
First lady Jenny Sanford told the world in a statement Wednesday that she had sent her husband packing nearly 15 years after she launched his political career.
So while the lady who helped bring him to the national stage was home taking care of their 4 boys, and trying to figure out how to save their marriage, this selfish idiot was running off to be with his Argentinian lover. All this while still telling his wife and kids that he was trying to reconcile the marriage. So don't think for one moment that this was about us, the public, cause its much deeper and personal than that. Its about a man who still to this day wants to lie to his family(the money and brains of the operation)just so he could keep chasing that Argentinian tail. True Scumbag if there ever was one.
