Don't Cry for Me, Argentina

Why should we care what goes on in Argentina or South Carolina? Because it has the potential to be hilarious, that's why.

In case you haven't heard, South Carolina's Governor, Mark Sanford, disappeared for four days. Nobody knew where he was, not his family, staffers, not anyone, but that didn't stop them from making up stories about his whereabouts.

Sure, it's conceivable that a father of four is hiking on the Appalachian Trail alone on Father's Day, but, okay, not really.

So, if he really was in Argentina, what the hell was he doing there? No one has made up an even vaguely possible answer at this point.

UPDATE

Sanford has now admitted to having an affair with a 'dear, dear friend' from Argentina. When I first read this I thought it said deer. That might have been interesting.

Apparently this dear, dear friend isn't bringing him any happiness.

"I spent the past five days of my life crying in Argentina," he said, "so I could come back and cry here."

Is he crying because his political career is over?
