COLUMBIA, S.C. -- COLUMBIA, S.C. - South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford declared his Argentine mistress his soul mate Tuesday but said he is committed to reconciling with his wife in hopes of saving his family and what is left of his political career.

Sanford, who also admitted meeting his lover more times than he had previously claimed, told The Associated Press in emotional interviews that he "crossed lines" with a handful of other women during 20 years of marriage.

But he said he never went as far as he did with Maria Belen Chapur, the woman at the center of the scandal that has derailed his once-promising political future.

First rule of holes, Mr. Sanford, is to quit digging.

And it wasn't her (I'm sure lovely) soul you were panting over in your emails.

When governors start talking like 8th grade girls, it’s time to find a new line of work. It’s been a pleasure knowing you Mr. Sanford. Enjoy your new line of work, whatever that may be.

He needs to shut-up, resign, and be divorced so he can go live with his soul mate and the rest of us never have to listen to him again.

Hey Sanford, shaddup already!

I'll second that. We've heard enough. We don't care about the details. Now just go away. Er, better let people know where you're going, though.

He’s going to get a shock when his “soul mate” no longer wants a washed-up politician.

This is unbelievable. I hope the people of SC boot him if he doesn’t have the decency to step down. It’s not the affair, but how he is handling the aftermath - his judgment is now totally up for grabs as a sissy little boy who got busted. That’s why Spitzer will be resurrected by the Dem MSM and Sanford will be crushed.

oh geez.. he really should just go away...


“This was a whole lot more than a simple affair, this was a love story,” Sanford said. “A forbidden one, a tragic one, but a love story at the end of the day.”

I will third that. Just shut your trap. We don’t want to know about your soul mate, or your soul. We already have TOO MUCH INFORMATION.

I think it’s time for him to abdicate. King Edward VIII did it. He can, too! Just think how romantic that would be.

I agree.

Everytime he opens his mouth, he just makes it worse.

Does he have some warped belief that if he keeps bringing this subject up (and gets slammed by everyone) that this is a form of self-flagellation or atonement for what he did?
