Rico can see why

ABCNews.com, among others, has the story of the Argentinian woman who caused the governor of South Carolina to spend state money on an affair:

Maria Belen Chapur, a former television producer, remains under the radar because of intense media scrutiny surrounding her. But in a brief statement conveyed through a television report on Buenos Aires' C5N channel, the 41-year-old said she indeed was involved with Sanford and that the published e-mail correspondence between the two was obtained from her account by a hacker.
The former journalist did not directly acknowledge the affair or mention the embattled governor's name, saying she won't speak about her private life, which has already been made too public and painful. But her statement offered extensive details about how the "the author of this evil action" broke into her e-mail account. She denied that the hacker was a friend of hers.
Chapur's friends and colleagues told ABC News she is a sophisticated and intelligent woman, and that the relationship between the two was simply a matter of love. Chapur is "refined and professional," said news anchor Eduardo Feinmann, to whom Chapur sent her statement. He added that he wasn't shocked when he heard about the affair, and thinks she might really be in love.
Sanford said in a tearful press conference last Wednesday that he had known the woman, whom he didn't identify by name, for years, but that the relationship only turned romantic in the last year. The governor said he met her three times over the last year.

Rico says that, given what she looks like, he can certainly see how Sanford did what he did, having done exactly the same thing (no state money, but whilst married) with a woman whose three names started with Maria and who strongly resembled Ms. Chapur...
