The Clampdown

Then he arrived in the airport fresh from a trip to Argentina.

Mark Sanford, the South Carolina Governor and a Republican frequently hailed as a Presidential hopeful for 2012, vanished last week and nobody admitted to knowing where he was, including his wife and children.

Well, turns out that Sanford spent Father’s Day in the arms of his Argentinian lover.

There’s no other word for it than “disgraceful.”

Michelle Malkin has a few choice words.
