I don't know what is more annoying about the Mark Sanford situation. It seems the governor of South Carolina went all the way to Argentina to conduct his affair and did not go to a single milonga as far as I can tell. But if he did I will promise you that I will know by tonight. It seems that Sanford is woefully unaware of just how small the word has become. "The world is a handkerchief" was the quote I heard in Argentina. And not the one that Sanford is using to cry his eyes out. Probably not from grief but from trying to live in the pollution ever present in Buenos Aires.
It is telling that his lack of interest in tango annoys me far more than the fact that he had an affair. And at first the bloggers were all a-twitter that maybe he was a closet tanguero. This was quite a bit more intriguing than a stupid affair. But we still don't know, maybe she is a dancer and lured him away to BA. If only. Maybe she has a hot pair of zebra striped Comme Il Faut shoes, pink trim, nine centimeters. Now that would be interesting.
Funny thing on twitter: "Let he who hasn't blown off his governor duties to get a little Argentinian tail on Father's Day cast the first stone." Thanks Tina, for sharing that.
Now, back to family values, and get back to work. I say at least Argentina is more interesting than hiking the Appalachian trail for Christ's sake.

Maybe now he would move to Buenos Aires and start hanging out at the milongas, because here he is finished. LOL
Language Log has a piece on why it could be that he needed to go there to find out if he knew that he knew that he knew. Something.
Wow, he is really messed up. He should just go back to Argentina an work it out there. It won't matter that he can't speak coherently in English.
I was very pleased to see that there was some mention somewhere that he met her at a "dance" in Uruguay. Could it be that this plot will finally take us to some unknown milongas far far away? We will know when we know we will knwo....
