It was Appalachian Trail time again this weekend for Gov. Mark Sanford. He spent the weekend in Miami with his once (and future?) mistress, Maria Chapur.
“As a matter of record, everybody in this room knows exactly who I was
with over the weekend,” Sanford said. “That is no mystery to anybody
given what I said last summer. And, you know, the purpose was obviously
to see if something could be restarted on that front given the rather
enormous geographic gulf between us. And time will tell. I don’t know if
it will or won’t.”
Then Sanford blamed reporters:
“[The] obsession with one’s personal life needs to come to an end. And
we’ve got to move from tabloid journalism into real journalism.”
