A Man Scorned …
Turn’s out that Mark Sanford’s lover was also a cougar, and that was her undoing:
BUENOS AIRES — The mystery of who revealed Gov. Mark Sanford’s e-mail messages may finally be solved. A business associate of Mr. Sanford’s Argentine mistress said Friday that private messages between the two lovers had been sent anonymously to a South Carolina newspaper last December by an Argentine man the mistress had briefly dated.

Last December, the executive said, Ms. Chapur was dating a young Argentine a few months after her affair with Mr. Sanford began. The man happened to see the e-mail messages being exchanged between the governor and Ms. Chapur, said the executive — who said he had direct knowledge of the situation — and hacked into her e-mail account to see the rest.
Infuriated, the man sent the messages to The State, the newspaper in South Carolina’s capital, Columbia.
In one of the published messages, dated July 9, 2008, Ms. Chapur wrote Mr. Sanford that she had seen another man.
“He is a very nice guy, great heart,” she wrote, “but unfortunately I am not in love with him. You are my love. Something hard to believe even for myself as it’s also a kind of impossible love, not only because of distance but situation.”
Somebody needed a better password.

This just affirms my earlier comment as well as one I started and deleted that no good would have come from Sanford’s infatuation with La Chalupa. Latina women are no more inclined to monogamy than are latino men, especially when there is substantial distance – and the ability to still attract young guys – involved.
ADD: she looks remarkably similar to my friend the Spanish Anonymous Foreign Election Observer, except for the Frida Kahlo brow.
