Mark Sanford caught creepin' his ex-wife's house:

AP: EX-WIFE SAYS FORMER SC GOV. SANFORD TRESPASSED

CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — Former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford must appear in court two days after running for a vacant congressional seat to answer a complaint that he trespassed at his ex-wife's home, according to court documents acquired by The Associated Press on Tuesday.

The complaint says Jenny Sanford confronted Sanford leaving her Sullivans Island home on Feb. 3 by a rear door, using his cell phone for a flashlight. Her attorney filed the complaint the next day and Jenny Sanford confirmed Tuesday the documents are authentic.

The couple's 2010 divorce settlement says neither may enter the other's home without permission. Mark Sanford lives about a 20-minute drive away in downtown Charleston.

Apparently he's done it before:
According to her attorneys, Sanford has “entered into a pattern of entering onto plaintiff’s property” without permission and has been told to knock it off “on a number of occasions.”

He's crazy as hell. The only reason she had given him any leeway is their kids. She will leave no trace of him if he keeps this mess up.

i hear she is the one with the money and the reason he is running for office is there isn't anything else he can really do and he doesn't have the money she does.

I'm just wondering if the cable news stations will cover this as it seems to me that this can sink this guys chances for re-election. I'm wondering if they will be nice to him or really dump on him.

This guy is a serial nut case. He has no business to be in Congress or any elected position. How can one trust this guy?

I wouldn't say they're "running" with it. But, they aren't ignoring it.

As for his election chances, hard to say. One would not think that known criminals like Nathan Deal, Diaper Dave Vitter and that Scott clown in Florida could ever get elected, but here we are.

Let that be true. I can't even believe anyone still votes for this clown. I thought everyone hated him.

Colber Busch is looking like the sane, competent person in this race. My only fear is that there are enough South Carolinians who are equally creepy voting for him...and he gets elected...ugh...
