My Republican friend connected with GOP Batcave says Sanford's girlfriend is...

[zulchzulu]

... a former Argentinian model who is tall, brunette and very beautiful and may even be a bodybuilder. Sanford met her on some GOP junket in either Hawaii or in the Caribbean. His staff and others close to him all knew about it and were waiting for the shoe to drop on the affair. They all knew he was visiting her in Argentina and didn't bother to tell the Lt. Governor while there was a forest fire crisis in South Carolina.

The shit is about to really hit the fan for Sanford and his staff.

My friend called a buddy in South Carolina and got the scoop this past weekend.

Watch all the cards fall.

:rofl:

[Jennicut]

1. Ugg, he deserves to be slammed for not telling the LT. Gov where he was going

This is more then just an affair...its the immaturity of his actions hurting SC if they were in a true major crisis.

[zulchzulu]

3. It is evident that there may be complicit negligence on duty as Governor...

...and the staff were in on it.

That's much more screwed up than Sanford's skirt chasing antics.

:popcorn:

[Jennicut]

11. Total negligence...what an immature little brat.

[Indenturedebtor]

29. Actually by the judgement he's displayed - he did SC a favor

What an asshat.

[LiberalFighter]

2. Here is a bodybuilder from Argentina name Maria

[LiberalFighter]

4. Another Maria bodybuilder from Argentina

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

37. Marvelous tan lines...

[crim son]

6. Jeebus!

That would be just too, too sweet.

[eShirl]

16. I'm not saying that's necessarily a dude, but

there is a definite testosterone situation going on there.

[Vektor]

19. That's what I'm picturing

when I hear..."tall" and "bodybuilder"...

[ecstatic]

38. I LOVE it when politics and comedy intersect

Please PLEASE let that be his mistress. :woohoo:

[vaberella]

5. My question is, did he use State funds. n/t

[zulchzulu]

7. Sanford used a state vehicle to go to the airport in another state, Georgia

Not sure what that adds up to other than he used the state car to get laid in a foreign country. Maybe that's OK in South Carolina.

:rofl:

[madeline_con]

14. There's talk that all 3 trips he admitted to were on the taxpayer dime.

Something abnout they may have been for other purposes, but he found time for fucking around.

[monmouth]

31. If so, that will be what brings him down and makes for the resignation...n/t

[Cha]

8. There was a "forest fire going on n South Carolina"

at the same time as all of this!?!

When the gop shit hits the fan..it hits the fan!

[LiberalFighter]

10. He wasn't interested in that forest.

[madeline_con]

9. Which Argentinian model?

María Inés Rivero

Model Maria Vazquez

Argentinan Playmate Maria del Lujan Telpuk

Miss Argentina Maria Silvana Belli.

Born and raised in Argentina, Maria Cersosimo is a well known actress and model. She was the face of Fox Sports Noticias as a Journalist and host in the US, and was also part of the cast of various very well known soap operas in Argentina such as Vulnerables, Nocturnas and Modelos which aired from 1997 to the year 2000. Her talent and beauty have led her to achieve roles in many TV commercials and print ads since the beginning of her career in 1989, for very world renowned brands such as Old Spice, Ponds, Finesse, Pantene, AT&T among others.

[zulchzulu]

12. Not sure yet, although I'm sure it will be news in a day or so...

My friend said that the woman was apparently a "knock-out" brunette model. It was very well-known in Republican inner circles that Sanford had been in a long-term affair with the woman. And the staff knew...

[MUAD_DIB]

15. Does she have children? Sanford mentioned something about "her kids."

[Vektor]

20. She is said to have older kids, like at least late teens or college age.

So she is not some "young thang" - she's at least in her late thirties, I'm thinking. Which is not old, but it's not some teen model or anything.

[starroute]

27. Two teenage sons, apparently

The state says, "According to the doorman, the woman has two sons, one a teenager of driving age and the other younger. The e-mails refer to the woman’s two sons."

[Vektor]

28. Ah, ok.

Yes, that was the report I saw as well.

[bdamomma]

42. if you do a "google search" on images try to guess what

woman he was interested in they are all beautiful.

[eleny]

13. Drip, drip, drip on the drip

[appal_jack]

18. eww...

Sanford should take some antibiotics for that.

-app

[eleny]

25. LOL!

:rofl:

[Vektor]

17. Ehm?

Tall? Bodybuilder? :scared:

Are we sure it's actually female?

[Cha]

21. Colbert is talking about his governor

mark sanford now and it's hilarious.

[zulchzulu]

22. It's like Colbert knew!

Actually some very good editing...

:rofl:

[Cha]

24. That was

funny..freakin' ironic!

[CAG]

23. At least it sounds like she's over 17, the repubs at least finally got THAT right

[Rosa Luxemburg]

26. Is she pregnant?

[mullard12ax7]

30. You have republican friends in high places?

How'd that happen?

[zulchzulu]

33. Welcome to DU

I work with the guy. He goes to GOP meetings in DC... and is actually pretty sick of how the direction of the Republican Party is going.

:hi:

[wyldwolf]

34. why do you find that unusual?

[zulchzulu]

35. So do you have a job?

If so, do you work with Republicans?

Sheesh... nice, cheap shot...

:puke:

[wyldwolf]

36. I think you misinterpreted my reply

Why would the other poster find it unusual for a Democrat to have Republican friend - even some in high places? I do - and we exchange rumors all the time.

[zulchzulu]

40. OK...

I apologize for jumping the shark, bubba.

:hi:

[Are_grits_groceries]

32. He was in Eastern Europe during the forest fires.

Doing what I don't know. He claims he was on a trade mission.

[Tanuki]

39. Her name is reported to be "Maria Belen Shapur"

[zulchzulu]

41. Whoops...

That's Sanford and his wife...

[wyldwolf]

44. I did a Google image search. Here is the first pic that came up

[zulchzulu]

45. Wow. That's one hot brunette... not sure about the teeth though... n/t

[newinnm]

43. who the fuck cares

He is toast on the national stage and unless you live in S.C. then any more meddling into this is just being nosy. Do you also go around trying to find out who your neighbor is fucking?



-nnnm

[zulchzulu]

46. Hehehe...

Meds are your friend.

[gorfle]

47. If they are a Republican everyone knows who they are fucking.

You and me.

[Arugula Latte]

50. Oh, come on.

These sanctimonious Republican rightwing Christian Taliban types are always sticking their noses into other peoples' business (gays, abortion) and tut-tut-tutting ANY impropriety of the Democrats (remember a little thing called the Clinton-Lewinsky affair?). It is MORE than satisfying to watch one of these hypocritical Republican asswipes take a major, humiliating fall in full public view. I fucking love it.

This is "very damaging stuff," Sanford declared at one point, when details of Clinton's conduct became known. "I think it would be much better for the country and for him personally (to resign)... I come from the business side," he said. "If you had a chairman or president in the business world facing these allegations, he'd be gone."

Explaining his decision to back impeachment articles against Clinton, he added, "I think what he did in this matter was reprehensible... I feel very comfortable with my vote."
