Former S.C. governor Mark Sanford is engaged to marry Maria Belen Chapur, according to a report on the website of a newspaper in Argentina.

Sanford proposed in a restaurant last Wednesday, said a report published Friday on clarin.com, the website for Argentina’s largest daily newspaper.

The report, which was in Spanish, describes how Sanford arrived at the Bella Italia Grill, a restaurant in the Palermo neighborhood of Buenos Aires, ahead of Chapur.

The report said Sanford gave the waiter a bag containing an engagement ring and then hid in a bathroom for more than an hour, waiting for her to arrive.

4. Hmmmmmmm

Republican in a mens room for an hour...That just can't be good....

[Bozvotros]

9. Another wide stance republican

Good timing, Mark. Remind everyone what hypocrites the Repugs are right before the convention.

[CTyankee]

25. NO! this is excellent timing! We had almost forgotten about him and now we have him front

and center just in time for the Republican National Convention! Republican folks as ADULTERERS!

The Goddess is smiling!

[Flashmann]

7. Here's hoping they don't nude hike it for their honeymoon! n/t

[Myrina]

10. I figured that's where they'd have the ceremony/reception ...

6. Marky Mark I feel you buddy, latin women do it for me to.

[ZombieHorde]

11. He's just showing his Secret Other Family Values.

[Faygo Kid]

12. Perfect speaker at the GOP convention.

Hypocrisy, thy name is G-O-P.

[DLnyc]

13. Felicitaciones

I'm happy someone found love. Perhaps this should be researched as a possible cure for republicanism.

[Yavin4]

14. Good for Mark. He Found His True Passion and Love, and He's Following His Heart.

Unlike other conservatives that live empty, hate-filled lives and only find joy by subjecting the rest of us to their misery. Sanford found happiness in his life, and so, he no longer needs to take his misery out on us.

Good for Mark!

[tallahasseedem]

15. I completely agree...

It happened it a truly awful way but if they are happy, then I'm happy for them.

[Seedersandleechers]

16. I know what it's like to be in an unhappy marriage

and falling in love with another person. It happened to me. I wish them the best.

[gateley]

17. Is he living in Argentina now? What's he doing for a living?

I wish him happiness, and that his former wife and kids are happy, too.

[LiveNudePolitics]

18. Hope his ex-wife is as happy.

Hope his ex-wife is as happy. Are his ex constituents as happy? At the end of the day, all you can do is wish them well. But, it is one more example of human actions going against the "family values" the GOP keeps ramming down our throats.

[gateley]

19. I know! They just set themselves up by preaching their crap. Idiots. Hateful idiots.

I hope his former wife falls as madly and happily in love as he has. I really respected her through this ordeal.

And welcome to DU, LiveNudePolitics!

[LiveNudePolitics]

27. Thanks!

Thanks for the welcome.

20. His ex apparently didn't take his ass to the cleaners

If she had, he wouldn't be able to buy an economy class ticket to Argentina, let alone a shiny rock for his paramour.

Either his ex had a crappy lawyer, or she felt compassion for the poor guy, or he reneged on the divorce settlement, grabbed everything from their joint savings and investment portfolio and left her in the U.S. with the kids, a house with a mortgage, and a credit card debt made huge by all the long-distance gift-giving he indulged in for his latin sweetie.

Ah, romance!

[gateley]

23. Yeah, the things we do for love.

And welcome to DU, RVN VET!!

[BlueToTheBone]

21. he's probably ss age and is collecting his benefits.

Also probably has a retirement pension from the government.

[crimson77]

22. The guy divorced the heir to a hardware fortune, I don't think he is hurting.

[gateley]

24. Glad to hear she probably isn't, either. nt

[Tx4obama]

26. Kick! n/t

[Shankapotomus]

28. They clearly deserve each other

It will not last.
