Drip, drip, drip:
COLUMBIA, S.C. — South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford is admitting more encounters with his Argentine mistress than he previously has disclosed.
In a lengthy, emotional interview with The Associated Press, the governor described seven meetings with the woman, including their first in 2001. Sanford says there have been five over a 12-month period, including two multi-night stays with her in New York.
The real question isn't how many times he did what with whom, but rather whether he believes it was appropriate to schedule a publicly-funded trade mission to Argentina just so he could see his mistress.
