-----------------------------------------------------

Returning home, South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford tells The State newspaper that he was in South America, not on the Appalachian Trail as his staff had said in official statements.

1. Maybe he thinks the southern US is South America.

2. Confederate Colonies of Brazil

At the end of the Civil War in the 1860's, a migration of Confederates to Brazil began, with the total number of immigrants estimated in the thousands. They settled primarily in the southern Atlantic coastal region of the country, in Americana, Campinnas, Sao Paulo, Juquia, New Texas, Xiririca, Rio de Janeiro, and Rio Doce. One colony settled in Santarem, in the north on the Amazon River.

Although many Confederates ultimately returned to their homes in the United States, many more settled permanently in Brazil and their descendants are living in Brazil...many still celebrating their Southern American heritage as well as their Brazilian culture.

3. You're fuckin' kidding?! So he was visiting his brown Brazilian kids and not his Black ones?!

4. That might be a Lee-Atwater-over-the- top comment!

I am not defending Sanford at all here...he gets what he deserves---- but jeez that was an ugly insuation

8. Actually most found it funny.

This is a governor who runs off without telling anyone. Then his people gave out 4 different stories and then he says Brazilian. Far from ugly...but probably not true. It's a joke...

5. Date night in Rio?

Only he forgot the wife and the state troopers.

6. He was simply celebrating Hike Naked Day on a different trail.

7. Hooking up with Blagojevich's wife in Costa Rica?

9. Clearly, just ignorant people attacking him

People don't understand how fun Naked Hiking Day and South American Coke Up the Nose day are

10. Gotta say I smelled something like this yesterday when reports said his car was in Atlanta

as it's a hub for international flights.

Wonder what the hell he was doing in Brazil and why he instructed his staff to lie about it.
