Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I think it was more than just a booty call or he'd have had some sort of cover story in place.
Personally, I'm coming down to: Either his wife knew where he was and outed him because she was sick of it or he was chucking it all and running off with Miss Argentina but changed his mind three days into it.
Maybe he was running off to be with her, but she decided to go back to her husband?
It seems to me that we could work "Don't Cry For Me Argentina" into this somewhere.
From the msnbc piece, it sounds like he was there to end it - [link]
Theo - from the quote "the last 5 days crying in Argentina" - my guess is we'll be hearing a lot of "Don't cry for me Gov. Sanford" jokes in the next few days
He didn't need to fly there to "end it".
I think Trudy's right; he prolly flew down there to whisk her away and live some new adventure. Then, 3 days into it, reality struck.
Who knows?

Given this quote, I'm sure you can.
He told reporters he spent "the last five days of my life crying in Argentina" and the affair is now over.

Maybe he thought it was a holiday where he got to have a day off from being a father.
Last straw is dealing with a Brazilian company - none of their correspondence is in English. not invoices, not rate increase notices - HATE!
I lived there for 18 months. Let me know if I can help.
It's kind of refreshing to see a politician's wife opt "Throw his ass to the wolves" isntead of "Stand By Your Man."
Oh, did she? Last I heard (before Argentina was confirmed) she was leaning toward the latter.

Flashing back to my middle school friend whose father told his mother he was leaving on Christmas. Jackhole.
