Tag: Mark Sanford

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?
