Mark Sanford’s Emails To Mistress Maria (PHOTOS)
Posted by Sweatpantsmom at 4:00 PM on June 25, 2009
Well, we now know that the U.S. Governer of South Carolina wasn’t hiking when he disappeared for a week. What we do know is that he has admitted going to Argentina to visit his mistress, a woman named Maria who is reportedly a member of the Argentinean government who lives in the apartment pictured above in a posh area of Buenos Aires known as Barrio Palermo. We also know that she’s separated and the mother of two children. Oh, and we also know that he loves the erotic curve of her hips, since the following emails between the two lovebirds have been leaked:
From Gov. Sanford,
Date: Thursday, July 10, 2008, 12:24 a.m.
One, tomorrow leave at 5 a.m. for New York and meetings. Will think about you on its streets and wish I was going to be there later in the month when you are there. Tomorrow night back to Philadelphia for the start of the National Governor’s Conference through the weekend. Back to Columbia for Tuesday and then on Wednesday, as I think I had told you, taking the family to China, Tibet, Nepal, India, Thailand and then back through Hong Kong on world wind tour. Few days home then to Bahamas for 5 days on a friend’s boat for the last break of the summer. The following weekend have been asked to spend it out in Aspen, Colorado with McCain – which has kicked up the whole VP talk all over again in the press back home …
Two, mutual feelings …. You have a particular grace and calm that I adore. You have a level of sophistication that so fitting with your beauty. I could digress and say that you have the ability to give magnificent gentle kisses, or that I love your tan lines or that I love the curve of your hips, the erotic beauty of you holding yourself (or two magnificent parts of yourself) in the faded glow of the night’s light – but hey, that would be going into sexual details …
Three and finally, while all the things above are all too true – at the same time we are in a hopelessly – or as you put it impossible – or how about combine and simply say hopelessly impossible situation of love. How in the world this lightening strike snuck up on us I am still not quite sure. As I have said to you before I certainly had a special feeling about you from the first time we met, but these feelings were contained and I genuinely enjoyed our special friendship and the comparing of all too many personal notes …
Lastly I also suspect I feel a little vulnerable because this is ground I have never certainly never covered before – so if you have pearls of wisdom on how we figure all this out please let me know… In the meantime please sleep soundly knowing that despite the best efforts of my head my heart cries out for you, your voice, your body, the touch of your lips, the touch of your finger tips and an even deeper connection to your soul.”

From Maria,

As I told you I shouldn’t have done this trip but I would have felt worst if I wouldn’t have come because it was too over the date, he is a very nice guy, great heart … but unfortunately I am not in love with him … You are my love … something hard to believe even for myself as it’s also a kind of impossible love, not only because of distance but situation. Sometimes you don’t choose things, they just happen… I can’t redirect my feelings and I am very happy with mine towards you.

From Gov. Sanford,
Tuesday, July 8, 1:42 a.m.
Got back an hour ago to civilization and am now in Columbia after what was for me a glorious break from reality down at the farm. No phones ringing and tangible evidence of a day’s labors. Though I have started every day by 6 this morning woke at 4:30, I guess since my body knew it was the last day, and I went out and ran the excavator with lights until the sun came up. To me, and I suspect no one else on earth, there is something wonderful about listening to country music playing in the cab, air conditioner running, the hum of a huge diesel engine in the back ground, the tranquillity that comes with being in a virtual wilderness of trees and marsh, the day breaking and vibrant pink coming alive in the morning clouds – and getting to build something with each scoop of dirt.

Oh, something else we know: Mark Sanford left his wife and four sons over U.S Father’s Day weekend to go visit Maria, which might just give him a special place in the Bad Father’s Hall of Fame.
The hell with the press. No one is without sin. His crime was one of attraction to the opposite sex. (Imagine that) Give the guy a break. He’s only human and from his letters he’s far more human than most. Good for him as he experiences a rich full life. I’d vote for him. You can be sure if he ever flipped a car over and she was trapped in the water he sure wouldn’t try to get someone else to take the blame for him!
spending taxpayers money to fund his 3 trips to his mistress is stealing hard earned money from the citizens of south carolina…… his offers to pay back the money do not excuse the theft of public funds and his disappearing act indicates he’s clearly unbalanced and unable to lead his state. what if there had been a catastrophe, (it is hurricane season) in his state while he was unreachable and “crying in Argentina”? I wouldn’t care who he wants to poke, but stealing hard working citizens money for his playtime is something else altogether.
