How The Sanfords Are Rewriting The Public Infidelity Script
LatestThe proper way for a politician to confess to cheating is to wait until caught, give a brief statement and for him and his wife to shut up. Today, Mark Sanford proved yet again he isn’t reading off that script.
Sanford, who is apparently suffering from a terminal and incurable case of verbal diarrhea, gave yet another interview today to the Associated Press in which he further expounded upon the details of his relationship with his Argentinian mistress…details that no one needed to hear. They include:
- Reminding people that he loves her:
- “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.”
- Telling the reporter he is attempting to fall back in love with his wife.
- That she came to New York three times since they started sleeping together last June on a state trip to Brazil and Argentina.
- They’d only met twice in person before that.
- He felt really bad about fucking her and thought they should stop, but he didn’t actually do much about stopping.
- Her third visit to New York was after his wife found out and he was accompanied by a spiritual adviser in order to break up with her.
- He’s done unspecified stuff (like “dance” with) other women when on all-dude trips outside the country, but hasn’t ever fucked anyone else.
Don’t you feel better for knowing that!
