South Carolina’s soap opera gets stranger every day. Mark Sanford, the state’s wandering Republican governor, admitted today that that he also wandered on his wife. Instead of going on a hike, as he initially claimed, he actually traveled to South America to continue his affair with an Argentine woman.

“The bottom line is this: I’ve been unfaithful to my wife,” he said. “I’ve developed a relationship with a dear, dear friend from Argentina.”

This not only spells the end of Sanford’s presidential aspirations, but gives rise to an entire new collection of euphemisms for sex. Such as:

• “Hiking on the Appalachian Trail”
• “Doing the horizontal tango”
• “Invading the Falklands”
• “Going up the Trans-American Highway”
• “Pumping for oil on the Pampas”
• “Riding the Patagonian Express”
• “Visiting Beunos Heiress”
• “Taking dictation from Juan Peron”
• “Going to meet Evita”
• “Scaling the Andes”
• “Hiding the Nazi Soldier”
• “Stroking the double-humped llama”
• “Using the Spanish tongue”
• “Paying In Pesos”
• Negotiating an Argentine Pipeline
• “Entering the Straits of Magellan”
• “Shucking the South American Oyster”
• “Visiting Tuna Town in Tierra Del Fuego”
• “Dining on Argentinian Beef”

Are there any we missed?
