Mark Sanford Is “Bodhi” From Point Break
S.C. Gov. Mark Sanford wasn’t riding horses with his Latin lover at a famed Argentinean stable in Aiken, S.C. last weekend, but was surfing with his buddies in the Lowcountry as Hurricane Bill rolled by offshore, according to sources who claim to have seen the governor riding waves in the Charleston area.
Did he catch the fifty-year-wave?
Who knows …
These reports would seem to put to rest rumors that S.C. Sen. Greg Ryberg (R-Aiken) – one of Sanford’s few legislative allies – was hiding the governor and his lover, Maria Belen Chapur, last weekend. Well … except for the fact that Ryberg has a mansion on Sullivans Island, S.C., one that’s located less than a block away from the Sanford home.
Could Chapur have hid out there while Sanford “hung ten?”
None of this would be worthy of speculation (or suspicion), of course, had Sanford not disappeared for a week back in June and lied to this family, his staff and the state about his whereabouts. Sanford said he was “hiking the Appalachian Trail,” when in fact he was in Buenos Aires getting his freak on with Chapur.
Other reports had Sanford and Chapur holed up this weekend with his spiritual advisor, Cubby Culbertson.
Sanford’s office has refused to respond to repeated inquiries about his “twenty” (i.e. location) over the weekend, merely releasing a schedule of upcoming stops on his “Forgiveness Tour.”
Ordinarily, we’d agree that the governor has a right to spend his weekends wherever he wants doing pretty much whatever he wants (as long as it’s not wasting out tax dollars) – but having been caught lying once already, Sanford has given up that right in our book.
Plus, with First Lady Jenny Sanford’s “Housewife Mafia” fueling the speculation about Sanford and Chapur, it’s in the governor’s best interests to come completely clean as to whether or not he’s been seeing her.

Hmmm…maybe you’re onto something because judging from that shopping picture of Maria she could easily be confused in a wet suit for one of the guys.
And that fact it is right under jenny and the boy’s nose would probably appeal to both the luv guv and his 2nd Lady
Has he suspended his security detail pretty much the whole summer?

My take is the Aiken story got leaked out to keep the press off of Sullivan’s Island. Weren’t there warnings about rip tides and such over the weekend with the general public being asked to stay out of the surf? Oh. That’s right. This is Mark Sanford.

Luv Guv and Maria’s “Redemption/Forgiveness Tour”, forget the Rotary Club, we’re talking Colonial Life Arena. The Housewife Mafia would be yipping and yapping on multi media screens, and then they would slowly deteriorate to snow and then all would completely fade to black, and Luv Guv and Maria come onstage live and in warm embrace to “Redemption Song” and then “Is This Love” as the packed house roars with approval (and after that you can do your Henley…).

Is the Walterboro paper covering this story? One of his favored employees at Commerce, who reportedly lived in his house during the campaign, is from Walterboro. Until recently her daddy was the Chairman of the SC Disabilities and Special Needs Commission. For weeks after a critical LAC report came out, Sanford was mum. He replaced 4 of the Commissioners of DDSN, but left this one on board as Chairman. Maybe they know where our Governor is spending his free time.

I seriously doubt it,but if Chapur is bunkered down like Eva Braun or hiding under the guv’s desk like the lap dog,Monica;she needs to return to Argentina asap.We don’t have national health care here yet(that will be when donkeys fly)& I forsee her needing emergent care, if Jenny or her hench(men)women find her skulking on the island.Well, on second thought,she might be safe;by the time the media(CBS ,Vogue,Parenting Today,Cosmo et al) are notified and get their crews here, including “hair” & “makeup”, Chapur would have gone back, like Chaney, into her “undisclosed location”,which we found out(thanks to Biden) was the rompus room in the basement.They are all stuck on stupid or drinking the “Koolaid”,especially if they have been receiving”spiritual counseling”from the Rasputin”wannabe”, who has a calender with a scantily clad model on the wall,probably hanging next to his license…if he has one.

According to rumors last week, Chapur DID have a meeting with Sanford but flew back to Argentina after he came back from his reserve duty. The meeting was supposed to have taken place a day before reserve duty. Why he ahd to leave a day early was anyone’s guess. He was awfully quite during that week, but looked a markedly happier man when asking for forgiveness in Summerville. hmmmmmm.
Maria doesnt need much of a disguise anyway. She could be working as a stable boy in his plantation.

Apology to our former esteemed VP,that should be Cheney.

So long as Sanford performs the duties of the office to which he was elected, what he does in his spare time should be the concern only of those directly involved.

When Gina Smith from the State asked him if he was still in touch with Maria, Sanford dodged the question saying he wanted to move on. But he quickly denied the very next question asking if he was getting a divorce. Selective moving on?

I’d like to dedicate a song to our Luv Guv. Sid Vicious’ version of “My Way.” Could ya play it, FITS?
By shiya on August 25th, 2009 at 4:36 pm
The guv is going to be in Myrtle beach this Friday and this area is supposed privy to many high-priced, and secluded private resorts. hmmmmmm
By shiya on August 25th, 2009 at 4:37 pm
Does Ryberg have property in Myrtle beach? or any high connected friends there?
By follydude on August 25th, 2009 at 5:39 pm
he wouldn’t have made it out past the shorebreak.

I needed to read this like I needed a hole in the head. Good thing you “blogsmen” don’t require a license…

SUCH an insult to Bodhi! He had a soul, man. And he didn’t even have a spiritual advisor.
