AP Newsbreak: SC gov 'crossed lines' with women

By TAMARA LUSH and EVAN BERLAND – 11 minutes ago


COLUMBIA, S.C. — South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford says he "crossed lines" with a handful of women other than his mistress — but never had sex with them.

The governor says he "never crossed the ultimate line" with anyone but Maria Belen Chapur, the Argentine at the center of a scandal that has derailed Sanford's once-promising political career.

During an emotional interview at his Statehouse office with The Associated Press on Tuesday, Sanford said Chapur is his soul mate but he's trying to fall back in love with his wife.

He says that during the other encounters he "let his guard down" with some physical contact but "didn't cross the sex line." He wouldn't go into detail.

Sanford said the casual encounters happened outside the U.S. while he was married but before he met Chapur.

3. You know, the tone of his remarks just reeks of self-satisfaction.
There's no shame in his words or tone.

It's like he's proud of himself in a way.

And, right now, I don't see any reconciliation between he and his wife. They seem to be playing out a passive-aggressive war of words via the press.

If you're trying to make things right with your wife, why would you announce to the world that your mistress is your "soul mate."

5. "he's trying to fall back in love with his wife"---Ms. Sanford, tell the SOB don't bother
and sue him for all he's got. Don't get mad, get even.
:D

7. Perhaps the Guv could be more specific using the "base" scale.
Doing so might raise the intelligence of his discourse on this topic.

8. Crossed the line?
Did he take them to the football field parking lot for some heavy petting before dropping them off at home by 11 and getting the car home to Dad?

10. Mark Sanford says he "crossed lines" with a handful of women...
Sanford sounds like a grown man stuck in an arrested stage of development.

11. Sanford: The gift that keeps on giving.
Just like Miss Sarah -- just when you think the furor has died down, she pops up again with even more outrageous disclosures or spoutings.

Keep it up, Gov.

:applause:

16. MSNBC says "dalliances..but no sex"..
What good is a dalliance, without sex? Why bother?
If it's casual flirting, there's no need to even mention it..

he's shot himself in the foot so often in the last week, he's gonna need more ammo...or more toes:rofl:

17. I think He is TOAST...
I think this pretty much reveals the unlikelihood that Sanford will reconcile with his wife.

Drips and drabs.... MORE will likely come out ....

19. Am I the only one who is creeped out by Sanford's need to confess all of his sins publicly?
What next, a confession that he stole Jimmy Smith's milk money in 5th grade?

23. This is so pathetic.
Sanford needs to be telling this to a psychiatrist or better yet a whole building full of them. Not to any reporter who comes within 50 yards.

And if I never hear another politician say "soulmate" it will be too soon.

24. How much you wanna bet
he's got sexual harassment charges coming shortly.

He's sounding more and more like someone who doesn't know proper boundaries.

26. Wonder if Miss Argentina Knew About the Other Women He Crossed The Line With?
Kinda makes you feel 'special' to find out there are lots of others Sanford was with and you are part of a group.

I think this might loosen some lips ..... I hear the kiss-and-tell printing presses running from here.
