On Wednesday, South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, 49, admitted his affair with an Argentine woman, noting not only that he traveled to Argentina rather than the Appalachian Trail hiking, as his aides thought. Since then, the woman's name has been revealed, Maria Belen Shapur, 43, and now alleged pictures of her have leaked to the web.

The Maria Belen Chapur pictures were first leaked by Bitten & Bound, and reportedly show the 43-year-old object of Mark Sanford's affection (more pics at the link above).

While Maria Belen Chapur pictures leaked, Jenny Sanford, the governor's estranged wife, stated the following to reporters as she departed the Sanford's vacation home in Sullivan's Island, South Carolina:

"His career is not a concern of mine. He's going to have to worry about that. I'm worried about my family and the character of my children.

"I have great faith and great friends and great family. We have a good Lord in this world and I know that I'm going to be fine and not only will I survive, I'll thrive.

"I don't know if he'll be with me, but I'm going to do my best to work on my marriage because I believe in marriage. I believe in raising good kids is the most important thing in the world."

It is good to see a long-suffering wife who, rather than steadfastly standing at her politician husband's side while he details an affair, tells it like it is. What Jenny Sanford was partially addressing above was Mark's career; people on both sides of the aisle are calling for him to resign.
