Sex Scandal-Marred Former South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford Coming To TV
Posted on Oct 23, 2011 @ 11:25AM
Former South Carolina governor Mark Sanford is launching a career in television as a Fox News analyst.
Once considered a potential candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, Sanford's political career was derailed by a sex scandal in June 2009 when he went AWOL for a six days.
While his camp said he was on a hike of the Appalachian Trail, the then-married politician, a father of four, later admitted to visiting Argentinia to see his mistress -- a woman he once referred to as his "soul mate," reported RadarOnline.com.

Sanford will now join a long line of prominent former GOP politicos, including Mike Huckabee, Karl Rove and Sarah Palin, at the Fox network.
RadarOnline.com had the first photos of Sanford and his sweetheart Maria Belen Chapur, getting intimate on a beach two years after the affair hit the headlines.
Sanford, who served three terms in the House of Representatives before returning to South Carolina for two terms as governor, left office when his term ended in January.

Okay, just so we're clear. If you're Democrat, oh say Clinton, Kennedy, Frank (his boyfriend ran a gay brothel out of Frank's house) - then illicit sex is okay. If you're Republican, it isn't. No double standard there.

Fox News is the only place a conservative can go to get the full story...they're GREAT! But having said that, I totally disagree with them for hiring this man who openly lied and disgraced his family & his state. What are they thinking?!
