Ick Watch: Sanford's Emails to His Mistress

Holly Bailey

Speaking of other shoes to drop, the State newspaper down in South Carolina has published a series of emails between Gov. Mark Sanford and the woman in Argentina with whom he had an affair. The woman, identified only as “Maria,” refused to talk one of the paper’s reporters today when approached at her home in Buenos Aires, but the governor’s office doesn’t dispute the content of the emails, which date back to roughly one year ago. In the story, the State discloses that it's been in posession of the emails since December. (Oh really? What's the backstory there?) Warning: These emails are super cheesy, even for your Gaggler who will own up to watching the occasional episode of Days of Our Lives. (The guy who played Chris Kositchek now playing Roman? What is that about?) Here’s an excerpt of one Sanford love email to his beloved. Don’t say we didn’t warn you:

Two, mutual feelings .... You have a particular grace and calm that I adore. You have a level of sophistication that so fitting with your beauty. I could digress and say that you have the ability to give magnificent gentle kisses, or that I love your tan lines or that I love the curve of your hips, the erotic beauty of you holding yourself (or two magnificent parts of yourself) in the faded glow of the night’s light - but hey, that would be going into sexual details...

Three and finally, while all the things above are all too true - at the same time we are in a hopelessly - or as you put it impossible - or how about combine and simply say hopelessly impossible situation of love. How in the world this lightening strike snuck up on us I am still not quite sure. As I have said to you before I certainly had a special feeling about you from the first time we met, but these feelings were contained and I genuinely enjoyed our special friendship and the comparing of all too many personal notes...

Lastly I also suspect I feel a little vulnerable because this is ground I have never certainly never covered before - so if you have pearls of wisdom on how we figure all this out please let me know... In the meantime please sleep soundly knowing that despite the best efforts of my head my heart cries out for you, your voice, your body, the touch of your lips, the touch of your finger tips and an even deeper connection to your soul.

Ew! Unsubscribe!

Sorry LYNNCAP, but birds do cheat.  The more we research birds, the less faithful they appear.   Call it ensuring "genetic diversity" to increase the chances that at least one of their offspring live to reproduce themselves or they just like to get around, too.  Regardless, I don't think any animal, species is completely monogamous.  The more we try to separate ourselves from animals, the more disappointed we are with each other.  But, birds also don't get themselves elected to lead a state with millions of people depending on him.  Many birds do like to take off to Argentina for the winter, though.

Please, honestly, most men cheat, Lets not all act so suprised. I am a 41 yr old women and have to say most women my age have found comfort in career, kids or cooking, certainly not their men. So most men of prominance are left alone to travel and form relationships. Relationships form through the course of friendship. Certain things lack through time in marriage. There isn't anyone that can say they havenet come across someone they have felt for that wasnt their wife (or husband). Its just life!  honest belief is that humans weren't ment to be monogomis. maybe birds, but not humans. Our pressure came from religion and government. There has to be a reason why 8 out of ten men cheat....birds never cheat, they were never ment to cheat!

LEAVE THIS GUY ALONE, AND STOP SEEING THE DUST IN THE EYES OF OTHER, AND LOOK AT THE BEAM IN YOUR EYES. HYPOCRISY IS EVERY WHERE. YOU JUST DO NOT KNOW WHAT WENT WRONG HIS MARRIAGE.
