Sanford Backs Out Of Promise To Release Records

COLUMBIA, S.C. — South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford has backed out of a promise to release personal financial records to the media proving he did not use state money for trips to see his mistress.

A day after Sanford declared in an emotional Associated Press interview that his mistress is his soul mate, spokesman Joel Sawyer says the governor does not want to discuss personal matters in the media anymore. Sanford is providing the records to law enforcement as part of an investigation of his travel to see the Argentine woman.

Sanford agreed this week to provide the AP with proof of his payment for trips to New York and Argentina to see her.

His staff first said the records might be made available Tuesday, and then the governor's spokesman said Wednesday Sanford would not release them.

I don't understand this, how is that he has a choice whether to provide this information to the taxpayers? I would think there would be massive protests in the streets in SC.

[NCRedhead]

He has made sure that most are too poor and hungry to have the strength for a mass protest. LOL!

My True Tan Line Love, the Republicans want me to resign because I love you. Yes I spent taxpayers money just to see your tan lines one more time and I'll do it again. I love you until my eyes fall out no matter what they say. My tan line lover...... I saw dust flying in the wind and thought of your beautiful hair drops....

[ReealOne]

Wow KeepItMoving08, you sound as "sappy" as the Luv Gov Sanford.......... is that you Luv Gov? :-)

[KeepItMoving08]

I cannot give you any of my love, all of my love and my beautiful mind belongs to my tan line lover. I toss and turn at night wooing my night terrors of staying with my wife with visions of my beautiful tan line lover......

[BambooHarvester]

... trash.

He's not only an adulterer, he's an embezzler. They should impeach him and send him to jail.

[thebanana]

Be serious. God told him all was OK. Do you disagree with God?

[KeepItMoving08]

I will abuse my Beautiful Mind struggling to fall back in love with my wife only if you ask me to.....

CR46 said: "The question i want to know is did the Luv Gov wear a Glove, or are there little chinless kids running around with his mistresses??"

That's a very valid question. The Luv Gov Sanford seems to have thrown all caution to the winds. And remember... he DID slip away on a Father's Day weekend, and didn't even bother to call his 4 lovely boys, which they didn't deserve that.... it makes you go.... Hmmmmmm..... what is REALLY going on with that???

[Counterglow]

That's REAL Republican family values. Stay as far away from your kids as possible, so they'll have a chance to grow up to be normal, decent human beings rather than lying, adulterous d0uchebags.

You know, I think at this point, even Maria shaking her head and saying..."what a weirdo" !

[KeepItMoving08]

My tan line love, I sit here thinking in my Beautiful Mind as I watch the skies, I see your tan line body in the clouds, I see the jam under your toes in the water, I feel the spray of sun tan location in the wind.... I love you my true true true love....

[Bigjawn]

You pluck the tar. I'll heat the feathers.

[foxistoofunny]

Oh no you don't squawk squawk squawk

seanie

[BlackYowe]

He is done for he best quit now.

[saysay]

yeah, where are alll the tea party-ers now and thier outrage?..­..........­.money spent and not on us.....i want to go to new york and argentina tooooooooooo!!!!

[ReealOne]

Exactly! They're all too busy running around (just like "Chubby" and 'nem") and forgiving and defending the Luv Gov Sanford. I'll bet it's because all of these right-wing Republican Conservative christian men have all "been there, done that".

[ckfan]

It's Obama's fault. . . (signed) Rush.

[Heavy]

I used to be opposed to off shore drilling.
Now I'm finding it quite entertaining.

[BlackYowe]

Oh my!

[freethinkergirl]

:-O

[SimianNation]

Yet again he lied and changed his story. I guess the people of SC don't really care about the 10 commandments.

[Heavy]

Seven deaddddly sins are more like a to-do list for republicans

[TFlint]

The Republican 10 Commandments come with signing statements.

[Crawleykakes]

((( FOOL ))) on the Hill.......... !

[Littlewords]

He doesn't want to give them up because in court they'll be immediately converted into exhibits 1A - L99 for a possible upcoming divorce hearing, tax case for failure to report personal use of public funds, and again in his impeachment proceedings as they finally get the gumption in S Carolina to oust this lousy, lying, holier than thou hypocrite!

[CR46]

Law enforcement took copies of what he wouldn't release, there are many more episodes to follow....
