Thursday, June 25, 2009 Governor Sanford Flunks Geography of Argentina As almost everyone has heard over the past couple days, South Carolina’s Republican Governor Mark Sanford went AWOL several days last week, ostensibly hiking the Appalachian Trail, before being met at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport by an inquiring reporter from the Columbia daily The State. undefinedIn reality, Sanford had just returned from a "spontaneous" trip to “exotic” Argentina where, he said, he drove the scenic coastline alone.
Several observers have pointed out, some with great hilarity, that the governor would first have had to drive several hours through hundreds of miles of pasturelands, on short mid-winter days, before reaching the scenic coast of southern Buenos Aires province. If not, his best alternative was the capital's Avenida Costanera (pictured here), which runs past the domestic airport Aeroparque on the muddy River Plate estuary, before dead-ending a few miles north.
In fact, in just a couple hours, Governor Sanford could have reached the scenic shoreline of Bahía Somborombón, an area of dunes and wetlands that’s ideal for bird-watching, about 180 km (110 miles) southeast of Buenos Aires via the city of La Plata. The governor, though, was after a different species of bird - one María Belén Chapur of Buenos Aires, with whom he had been carrying on an affair that had caused his wife to throw him out of the house.
Though I’ve never met her, it turns out that Ms. Chapur is a neighbor of mine - her apartment, near the city zoo on República de la India street in the Botánico sector of Palermo, is only two short blocks from my own on República Árabe Siria (click on the map to see detail). Though her given names suggest she’s a Catholic, Ms. Chapur’s surname is Iranian, which might alarm the governor’s Bible Belt constituents that he’s not only sinned, but consorted with an enemy from the “Axis of Evil.”

What a load of crap. My wife is Iranian...
Also has the author noticed that her name is MARIA BELEN (Mary Bethlehem).
What gibberish.
Sanford was separated from his wife at the time. How do you feel about the liberal perverts who tried to sell and rape a 5 year old black child?
The sexual immorality of adultery is betrayal of trust, honor and love. Adult homosexual rape of a child is a crime.
In one case it was a husband and father's betrayal of his wife and four sons. In another case it was a homosexual's rape of someone else’s biological son.
Neither are good and I don't condone either offense. Limo liberals have enabled and encouraged both offenses by normalizing sexual insanity and disrespecting the human family. Whoever insisted on placing that poor child with the rapist, should go to jail with him.
One of the things Rinos are trying to do is get a “Clinton pass” in the Republican party for adultery. Some day, they might.
