TPM reporting sources stating evidence that Sanford was not alone in Buenos Aires

Source: "There Is Some Evidence Was Not Alone"
By Zachary Roth - June 24, 2009, 12:31PM

Things are still murky on the Mark Sanford story. But it's looking increasingly likely that Sanford's trip to Argentina was about more than a scenic drive down the coast.

"There is some evidence he was not alone," a source in South Carolina politics told TPMmuckraker. "The other shoe's gonna drop. I believe there's a reason he wanted to drop his SLED detail."

According to the source, a second car was identified at the Columbia airport, next to the SUV Sanford is believed to have used. Two additional sources in South Carolina politics said the same thing.

Separately, Will Folks, a former spokesman for Sanford who now runs a South Carolina political blog, is reporting that, according to a source, the Sanfords have been having problems in their marriage and have "been in marital counseling for several weeks now."

We should have some more information on this soon. Sanford's office has called a 2pm press conference, and Politico's Mike Allen tweets that according to the South Carolina press, the "woman question will be asked directly and clinically (no parsing)."

2. We now have confirmation of one fact:
Gov. Sanford is a dumbass.

4. He didn't need to sneak away to Argentina to prove it.
But I guess he did so just in case anybody wondered.

5. I mentioned yesterday..I
felt sorry for those 4 little boys they have..they are the cutest things. But, the reason I felt sorry was all the stupid idealogy and hypocritcal dogma they must hear at home.

9. Well, this would certainly explain Jenny Sanford's rather cryptic remarks.
I thought her remarks to David Maddenly were odd, to say the least. He reported that she said she had still not heard from her husband and that she was "being a mom" to her boys. Looks like the other shoe is going to drop sooner rather than later.

10. Irresponsible, irrational AND self-serving

If this is even half true, he's hit the trifecta and will have to step down now.

Yum!

:P
