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.

He should resign or removed from office. A full investigation should also be launched into the finances.

Reminds me of a song...

Take a letter, Maria
Address it to my wife
Say I won't be coming home
Gotta start a new life!

My mind is consumed with the curvy tanning lines and your bright white skin. I yearn for your smile, your lips, your hips and your butt.....

I will give up the world for you my true love, my soul mate..... I am ready to sacrifice all I have including my wife's reputation for you and your tan lines....

The more likely prospect is that if Governor Sanford released his financial records, which would have to include his credit card histories, it would just be too easy for everyone to find out when and to where he had been traveling, where he had been staying, and then start asking the locals questions.

He's discovered his idea of honesty is like being drunk and stumbling into the blackberry patch. Doesn't matter which way you turn, you're going to lose flesh and bleed.

Give "Sparky" the stage. Let him tell it like it is. Let him tell it from his heart.

Jenny has the money and Mark is proving to be a used and ungrateful "boytoy". He will be discarded and kicked to the end of the driveway.
