Forget the Jon and Kate divorce indiscretions – there have been some crazy affairs going on with politicians of late.
South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford secretly left for Argentina to have a cry-fest with his secret lover. (Seems his wife knew about his mistress 5 months ago… huh? You can’t make this stuff up!) Upon returning [...]
