Sanford's office Wednesday did not dispute the authenticity of the emails.

McClatchy special correspondent Angeles Mase visited the 14-story apartment building in Buenos Aires Wednesday where the woman lives, according to the emails, which included her address. The woman at the address answered to the name in the emails and, at first, agreed to speak to a visitor, but she declined after the visitor identified herself as a reporter.

The doorman at the building, shown a photograph of Sanford, said he did not recognize him. According to the doorman, the woman has two sons, one a teenager of driving age and the other younger. The emails refer to the woman's two sons.

1. Why did this newspaper sit on this for 6 months?

Oh, I guess I know the answer to that.

[ljm2002]

4. Yep, that was my first question too...

...and, like you, I was able to answer my own question forthwith.

Assholes.

[Ian David]

6. My first question too.

Maybe they were going to sit on it until after Sanford won the 2012 Primary?

That would have been awesome.

[Wednesdays]

23. Umm...because IOKIYAR

You really had to ask? :spank:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

26. Enlighten me, please...

I can only figure that the last letter stands for rethuglican. :hi:

[Joe Bacon]

28. IOKIYAR =

It's
O
K
If
You
Are
Republican

Because Republicans are above the law. They can do anything and get away with it.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

29. Gotcha...

Thanks! I figured it was something along those lines. :hi:

[Duer 157099]

2. I don't want to read that story, but how did they get the emails?

Jeez, we need to put them on the missing WH emails.

[Botany]

3. Snort!

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 ...

[crispini]

16. Why am I not surprised to find you in this thread? :)

:evilgrin: Just send it to Steph & tell her you wrote it for her, heehehehehehe.

[Botany]

20. I already did ..... Dr. Smooth is in.

BTW Do you know how much a polar bear weighs? Enough to break the ice.

[undeterred]

18. its naughty to say BREASTS even if you're saying it to your mistress

:banghead:

[Joe Bacon]

34. Yeah, "Boobs" is more appropriate!

:rofl:

[Buns_of_Fire]

32. Graceful, calm, and sophisticated, with tan lines and (at least) two Magnificent Parts...

Maybe he could write ads for craigslist as his new career.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

5. If they're on the level,

Sanford's marriage is over.

He's in love .............

[Richardo]

7. "world wind tour"

:eyes:

...Back to Columbia for Tuesday and then on Wednesday, as I think I had told you, taking the family to China, Tibet, Nepal, India, Thailand and then back through Hong Kong on world wind tour.

[BootinUp]

12. lol nt

[Nevernose]

15. That's the first thing I noticed, too.

The guy's not crazy, just stupid.

[Seen the light]

8. I'm not sure I needed to know the gory details

Some of that was icky. Feel very bad for the kids.

[Hansel]

9. He should consider writing Harlequin novels now that his political career is dead.

How embarrassing.

[Kingofalldems]

10. It's just like 'West Side Story'

Her name is Maria.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

30. I wonder if her husband is Tony.

[wellst0nev0ter]

11. Lemme Guess...

Gay marriage made him do it, right? :eyes:

[Mz Pip]

24. There was some mention in his

presser of the stimulus package...

So many jokes...
So little time...

[BootinUp]

13. I wonder how many of the commentors at the link

who are whining that his personal life is in the news are hypocrites depending on political party of the exposed pol.

[Tx4obama]

14. K&R nt

[Bette Noir]

17. Darn. I thought he was smuggling drugs.

Don't Republicans have any imagination?

[griloco]

19. well he was in columbia

and they don't have any women there,
do they?

[alcibiades_mystery]

21. Columbia is the capital of South Carolina

Colombia, on the other hand, is a country in South America.

:wow:

[Wednesdays]

22. K&R

:kick:

[getting older]

25. I have a question.

As my name implies, I'm getting older. And I've been living overseas for years so I am out of touch and haven't been in an English-speaking environment. I don't intend this as a frivolous or offensive question and I hope it won't be taken that way. When Governor Sanford (allegedly) wrote: "the erotic beauty of you holding yourself (or two magnificent parts of yourself)": What do you think he was trying to say? Is he describing a woman with both arms held across her chest, with one hand on each breast, or something more akin to a Botticelli "Birth of Venus" pose?

I do realize that there are other possible interpretations, but I'm not going there.

Sign me,
Ever interested in language.

[mikeytherat]

31. Botticelli is way too classy. Think "buxom porn star pose."

[tj2001]

27. Isn't that special

Cheesy crap

[Joe Bacon]

33. It don't matter because Jesus forgives Republicans!

All Marky Mark has to do is just go to his local Southern Fried Baptist Church and throw himself down before Jesus and he'll be as clean as the newfallen snow!

Unlike that godless Democrat John Edwards...
