No, you read that right, and this is not the National Enquirer. Republican Gov. Mark Sanford of South Carolina, who for the past year has had a torrid affair with a married Argentinian woman, and who decided to split for a week to see her without telling anybody -- apparently had this affair as a result of the Obama administration destroying everybody's lives, according to class clown Rush Limbaugh.
See, Rush's twisted logic here is that Obama has screwed up so badly that the governor did the only sensible thing he could do -- leave the country (and his state legally leaderless) to go get some strange in Argentina! Well, I certainly see the connection there, don't you? Especially since the affair started last summer when then-Senator Obama was only campaigning for President. Maybe Sanford was clairvoyant?

Boggles the mind, doesn't it?
