Mark Sanford coyly sang the praises of his mistress's body and agonized over their "hopelessly impossible situation of love" in emails to the woman that emerged today, just hours after the teary-eyed South Carolina governor admitted that he had an affair.
The governor, who caused a stir when he dropped out of sight for nearly a week, admitted in a press conference earlier today that he has been "unfaithful" to his wife and that his affair was with a "dear, dear friend from Argentina."
The State, South Carolina's largest daily newspaper, which broke the news about Sanford's trip to Buenos Aires after speaking to him at the Atlanta airport upon his arrival this morning, obtained private email exchanges between the governor and the woman, who they only identify as "Maria."
When contacted by ABC News, Sanford's office did not dispute the authenticity of the emails.
In an email dated July 10, 2008, Sanford writes that the two are in a "hopelessly impossible situation of love," and that he feels "a little vulnerable because this is ground I have never certainly never covered before."
