Quotes
- “I think it would be much better for the country and for (Clinton) personally (to resign). I come from the business side. If you had a chairman or president in the business world facing these allegations, he'd be gone.”
- “The idea of their being a, you know, a little mud hole and two mosquitoes get together and the next thing you know you have a human being [pause] is completely at odds with, you know, one of the laws of thermodynamics which is the law of, of [pause] in essence, destruction.”
- “I could digress and say that you have the ability to give magnificent gentle kisses, or that I love your tan lines or that I love the curve of your hips, the erotic beauty of you holding yourself (or two magnificent parts of yourself) in the faded glow of the night's light. but hey, that would be going into sexual details...”
- “There wasn’t a lot of substance, and I think at some point we got to get to substance in the most significant political position in the world”

Encyclopedic overview
Marshall Clement "Mark" Sanford Jr. (born May 28, 1960) is an American politician and author who served as the U.S. representative for South Carolina's 1st congressional district from 1995 to 2001 and from 2013 to 2019, and as the 115th governor of South Carolina from 2003 to 2011. He is a member of the Republican Party.
Sanford was first elected to Congress in 1994, serving three terms in the House of Representatives. He ran for governor in 2002, defeating Democratic incumbent Jim Hodges, and was re-elected in 2006. As governor, Sanford attempted to reject $700 million in stimulus funds for South Carolina from the federal Recovery Act passed in 2009, but the South Carolina Supreme Court ruled that only the state legislature—not the governor—had the authority to accept or decline the funds.
