When will men ever learn? Disgraced Governor Mark Sanford, faces 37 charges by States Ethics Board. If you don’t remember who he is, he’s the guy that disappeared from work, said he went on a hiking trip, and ended up visiting his mistress in South America. Of course, this is while he was still married and had his wife and four sons were worried sick.  Definitely someone you DON’T want running your state.

Who is his lover? His Argentinean mistress, María Belén Chapur, is a 43 year old divorcee, who is a commodities broker. His wife, after learning of the affair, moved out of the Governor’s mansion, and took her four sons to live at their home on Sullivan Island.

NY Times Reports:

The charges on the list include spending state money on business-class plane tickets, instead of flying coach; using state aircraft to attend political and personal events, like the birthday party of a campaign contributor; and using his campaign fund for non-campaign expenses like a ticket to President Obama’s inauguration.

The list provides the first details of the accusations that the ethics commission will pursue after a wide-ranging review of Mr. Sanford’s travel and financial records, citing incidents from September 2005 to April 2009.

A separate impeachment resolution has been filed in the state legislature, but the ethics commission and the legislative action so far have dealt with different accusations. The ethics commission reviewed charges of misuse of public resources, while the impeachment resolution deals with the governor’s secret trip to Argentina in June to visit a woman with whom he was having an extramarital affair.

The slippery Gemini, should have resigned after the media exposed his affair. Obviously, he has some serious personal issues to work out and seems a bit distracted to be an actual Governor of the state. Stay tuned.
