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.
My whole life just flashed before my eyes! I gotta get me a life!

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

Our wings are not tired.
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.

It's still pretty tacky to fly off to see your mistress on Father's Day.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Maybe he thought it was a holiday where he got to have a day off from being a father.

Trust my rage
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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I was of the impression that she's the one who told the press she didn't know where he was.
