This piece of news is old news to most. I am sure most of you are already aware of the absurdity of the matter.

In case you were living in a cave, the governor of South Carolina disappeared and no one knew where he went. One of his staff said he was hiking the Appalachian Trail. When he returned, he confessed that he actually ran off to Argentina to visit a woman with whom he had an extramarital affair.

Now this part of the story isn’t really all that surprising. Humans will be humans. This kind of stuff happens. What I don’t get is the following…

Through a spokeswoman, Mrs. Sanford declined requests to be interviewed for this article, but told The Associated Press she learned of her husband’s affair early this year when she found a letter he had written. She told him to end the relationship, but he repeatedly asked permission to visit the woman in Argentina in the months that followed.

“I said absolutely not,” Mrs. Sanford told The A.P. “It’s one thing to forgive adultery. It’s another to condone it.”

Then, last week, when the governor told her he needed time alone to write, she had specifically warned him not to see his mistress. She said she was devastated when he went to meet her in Argentina.

I can understand cheating on your wife, having your wife find out about it, and then working on the marriage together.

Now what I mean by “understand” is that I understand that this kind of stuff happens, not that I agree with the rationale of doing so.

I can kind of understand cheating on your wife, having your wife find out about it, and still cheating on your wife.

What I don’t understand is cheating on your wife, having your wife find out about it, asking your wife if you can go back to Argentina to be with that woman again, your wife saying no, and you blatantly flying all the way to Argentina to cheat on your wife yet again.

There are three things wrong with this…

1. If you really really really want to cheat on your wife yet again, you don’t ask for permission to do so.
2. Even if you do go to a foreign country to visit some secret lover, you need a reason to go, like a business trip or something. This guy just blatantly went to Argentina to cheat on his wife.
3. If you’re some public figure, your chances of getting away with it aren’t good.

And it doesn’t end there. Somehow the e-mail exchanges were leaked.

I could digress and say that you have the ability to give magnificently gentle kisses, or that I love your tan lines or that I love the curves of your hips, the erotic beauty of you holding yourself (or two magnificent parts of yourself) in the faded glow of night’s light – but hey, that would be going into the sexual details we spoke of at the steakhouse at dinner – and unlike you I would never do that!

Well, I ‘ve never had the opportunity to write a love letter, but it doesn’t take anyone with experience to realize what a horrible piece of writing this is, especially the part about two magnificent parts. That’s just lame. Man, I could do much better than this garbage.
