Read it and weep, Governor Sanford. It's in South Carolina's Code of Laws, Title 16--Crimes and Offenses, Chapter 15 "Offenses Against Morality and Decency"

SECTION 16-15-60. Adultery or fornication. Any man or woman who shall be guilty of the crime of adultery or fornication shall be liable to indictment and, on conviction, shall be severally punished by a fine of not less than one hundred dollars nor more than five hundred dollars or imprisonment for not less than six months nor more than one year or by both fine and imprisonment, at the discretion of the court. SECTION 16-15-70. "Adultery" defined. "Adultery" is the living together and carnal intercourse with each other or habitual carnal intercourse with each other without living together of a man and woman when either is lawfully married to some other person.

Well, well, well. Governor Mark Sanford, a publicly admitted adulterer. Six months to a year in prison? Might be plenty of that "alone time" you seem to need to refresh yourself.

I hope to G-d all the self-righteous religious douchenozzles in South Carolina who laid flowers at Sanford's feet are now caught trying to talk the state out of prosecuting him for his sins.

UPDATE for all you late comers [and the humor-deprived], this is a diary poking at a fundamentalist Governor and his rabidly fundamentalist state base over what according to SC state law is an illegal act---something all of them would certainly bring up if a Democratic politician was fingered as an adulterer. The diary and diarist neither condone said laws nor even believe that they are constitutional. Enter this diary for schadenfreude and entertainment purposes only.
