Seriously, how stupid does a high profile politician with presidential aspirations have to be to disappear for a week in Argentina with his mistress? Perhaps he had already given up those hopes.

I give a hearty guffaw to those who defended Sanford prior to today with sentiments like, "Can't a man take a vacation without being picked apart by the liberal media?" HA! I'm looking forward to Stewart and Colbert's followups on last night's coverage of the missing governor.

It's been a bad week for the GOP. I'm sure God's prayer inbox will be overflowing tonight.

Gov. Mark Sanford of South Carolina acknowledged Thursday that he visited his mistress in Argentina on a taxpayer-financed trade mission to South America early last summer, an admission adding another layer to a scandal that produced increasing calls for his resignation.

also, from the same article:

The political calculus of resignation is complicated. By law, the job of governor would go to Lt. Gov. R. Andre Bauer, an ambitious Republican with a reckless streak who in recent years has been caught driving over 100 miles an hour and crashed a small plane.

Excellent day to have a rotten day.
