Whacking the Dead Horse

Everybody's tired of hearing adultery stories about now I think- even those on the other side of the aisle from the perps. However Mark Sanford is the gift that keeps on giving and has decided that now his secret is out, he ain't gonna shut up about it. Today in an interview, he admits to other relationships with women not his wife which crossed lines but "not the ultimate sex line." What is he talking about? Dry humping? Why is a governor creating these mental pictures? His press guy must have quit by now.

(y'know, his post-coital blabbing is also probably ruining the chances any American guy will ever have with sophisticated international types)

Quote of the day (whether the words come from Sanford or from a wicked or clueless AP reporter is not clear) describes his first meeting with his Argentine honey at a Uruguayan disco and describes it as "a chance encounter during which he counseled her into the night about her failing marriage"

That's even better than "hiking the Appalachian trail"
