61. This idiot should be kicked out of office. To take off with no word to your freaking family where you went and this man has 4 sons and a wife??? Un freaking believeable!!!! He not only deserted his family but he deserted his state and all the people who trusted him and elected him. This asshole has NO BUSINESS in politics. He should be run out of office. Is this the kind of man the good people of South Carolina want to represent their state??? What if there had been a state emergency when he was missing in action? The Governor of ANY STATE has no business just disappearing like that.
Our Governor is Ed Rendell of PA and he's one hell of a good man. Ed would NEVER EVER do a shady dispicable thing like that. He's a good, reliable, intelligent man.
Mark Sanford - you are a JOKE and a sorry excuse for a man. You should be removed from office immediately.

62.
He need to resign from office as the Governor of SC now. We the Republican Party need to clean up before the election 2010 and 2012. He will not run for President in 2012. Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska might be run for President in 2012. I hope she does. She can beat Obama.

64. 54. How is it possible this situation has been on going for so long, and not ONE picture of the woman has been displayed in the media? This woman was a public personality in Argentina, and yet I have not seen one picture or video of her. How can that be? And why is the press suppressing coverage of the woman.

I'd like to see what she looks like.

66. Her full statement:

Statement From María Belén Chapur
Following is the text of a statement from María Belén Chapur, read on Argentine television station CN5 on Sunday. The statement was the first public comment by Ms. Chapur since last week, when she was identified as the woman with whom Gov. Mark Sanford of South Carolina was having an affair.

I have decided to send to you this release that will be the only one, to thus clarify certain incorrect things that are being spread worldwide so as to give an end to the subject that as you can imagine is of great pain to me, as for my two children, my family and all the great friends that I have known and harvested throughout my life and that had always been there for me.

1. I won't speak about my private life as it just belongs to me. It has already been made too public during these last days, bringing to me even more pain.

2. I categorically deny that the individual who hacked my hotmail account was the one friend with whom I shared days in Brazil in the Rolex Regatta. This friend, as you could all well read in my recently published e-mails, is an excellent, respectable and honorable man incapable of making anything similar to that. Far away from being the author of this evil action he was instead another victim. In December 2008, the stolen e-mails were sent by the hacker to him as well as to the newspaper The State.

3. My hotmail account was hacked around November 24th, through an old e-mail account under my name provided by an Argentine company. I made my denouncement at that time at the Argentine company, where my old account was still opened, as did the denouncement at hotmail. I was finally able to close down that old account and to recover by December 8th, my hacked hotmail account, after answering a long questionnaire sent by Microsoft. All this is registered in Microsoft as well as in the Argentine company. I kept all my requests and the answers given by Microsoft at that time, company that with great speed and effectiveness solved my problem making possible the recovery of my hotmail. Also the Argentine company, via a telephone call, decided to immediately close down that account as an exception, due to the gravity of my denouncement , despite not belonging this account to my home address.

3. Finally, I do have a firm suspicion of whom particularly may have done this great damage directed specially to me, but at the same time destroying the life of so many others. Not counting on the sufficient proves and living according to the rule of law, I am myself forced to maintain the individual's name in anonymity. I am not the one to judge anyone, I leave this in God's hands.

67. 35. Not surprising in the least. Republicans are pigs parading as bible preachers¸, ministers, anti gay law makers, while all along being the biggest perverts and cheats you can find.
They might be pervs, but at least theyre entertaining. One or Two get busted every year
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I love ignorant liberals. "Anti-gay law makers?" Bill Clinton signed into law the Defense of Marriage Act, which outlaws gay marrige you f'n moron. The same law that Obama says he supports. Get a clue. Liberals are the biggest hypocrites of all. They lie to get votes. Say their pro black this, pro gay that, but yet always do things in office that prove otherwise.

68. 43. thi s drives me insane, that jackasses like this stand on principles they cant uphold themselves like larry craig ,sarah palin, an a plethora of other republican dictators who win elections on stances they are pathetic at maintaining themselves an its th pussy ass democrats who let them slide all the time. what a pathetic party i rely on. if it were choice, i would have these hypocrites locked up an jailed on th first ever hypocracy charges. pathetic, sad,an disgraceful
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So your proud you support a party that has no morals? Craig? LOL, yeah, great example!! Tapping your foot on a bathroom stall door is the same thing, LOL!!!Palin? Dude, you're clueless, but typical Dem, making up lies as you go. Let them slide? BAWHAHAHAHHHAHA!!!!! Now you've lost all credibility. Your party, which includes the media, attack and lie about these people 24/7, while allowing every pervert in your cult of a party to slide you lying POS bioooootch!!!!

But you're right. Being a "hypocrite" is a far worse crime than child molestation, a charge NUMEROUS Dems have been saddled with over the years. What a moron.

69. Hey # 58, ihatehypocrites. "Bill Clinton didn't go around claiming he was morally superior?" Really? He signed into law the Defense of MARRIAGE ACT you goon. That act keeps same penis, and carpetmunching couples from marrying. So yeah, I'd say he thought he was pretty freakin' superior. Plus, last I checked, he took marriage vows too. So if you hate hypocrites, then you hate anyone who is married that cheats, not just the Republicans. Stop embarrassing yourself now please. You sound retarded

70. Ok kooks, we'll keep our handful of unfaithful Repubs, and you quacks can keep your countless number of cheaters and child molesters. Fair?

71. #58 shadowwolf- couldn't have said it better. Everyone is paying way to much attention to all this celeb crap and this guy having an affair when this country is going down, down, down!!!! Washington wants you to be sidetracked so you don't realize what is happening to our country. The government is going to own everything and you will be paying through the nose. Doesn't matter what you are Democrat, Republican or an Independent this president and Pelosi are pushing through their own agenda. We wanted CHANGE but this is not the kind of CHANGE we need! WAKE UP AMERICA do you people even know what is going on in North Korea, Iran and now Honduras????????????????

72. Hey Raindrop,

How about naming five Democratic officials that were caught involved in a "criminal scandal involving under aged children" as you put it. Bet you can't even name two.
I just love it when people want to critisize but have nothing to back up their statements.
Typical Repugs, all insults but no fresh ideas.

73. dfdf,

All politicians lie to get votes and support from the public. Every time Bushy had something to say about what he was doing in Iraq he throw religion into it because he knew the religous nuts would back him up. He later did an exit interview with Cynthia McFadden where he stated he didn't even take the Bible literally.

74. JT,

I love eating ignorant liberals like you for breakfast. You're either one of two types of liberal scumbags. 1. You're too uninformed and clueless that you don't know jack about the party you blindly support. Or, 2. You're pedophile yourself. So which is it?

1. Fred Richmond
2. Gerry Studds
3. Mel Reynolds (who was pardon by equally perverted Clinton)
4. Neil Goldschmidt
5. David Giles

So please, come at me with something better than than you ignorant POS!! Thanks for letting me embarass and humiliate you :)

75. Actually, Bush can cite every freaking major Democrat official during his Presidency that ALSO said Saddam needed to be taken out. So you're way off there with your boring, played out, Iraq lie. So try again there numbnutz. Obama is one lie after another. Looking a lot like a Jimmy Carter type reelection bid
