He was the one who, while governor of South Carolina, literally disappeared for a few days, turns out he was hiking somewhere with his Argentine mistress.

Mark Sanford, the Republican former South Carolina congressman and governor whose political ascendency was stalled by a 2009 affair, has ended his latest bid for public office, saying that he's quitting the race to reclaim his former coastal district to set up a nonprofit to address the national debt, his signature issue.
Sanford, 65, told The Associated Press on Thursday that he was shuttering his campaign just a month after he launched it, a decision inspired by his desire to focus on combating the national debt and deficit.
"What I hope to do is to indeed build a grassroots organization — start small, but I have a fair size circle of friends and folks with whom I have some degree of influence and contacts," Sanford told the AP, also noting that, with his first grandchild on the way, he realized as he mounted this campaign that he wanted to be able to spend more time with his family.

@Tom-K LOL.
