Gaucho Mark's Wandering Ways

Transcontinental hiker and former South Carolina Gov. Mark "Gaucho Mark" Sanford will have to face trespassing charges filed by his former wife two days after a special election to fill the Congressional vacancy in South Carolina's 1st District.  Jennie Sanford accuses her former husband of trespassing at her Sullivans Island home, after catching Gaucho Mark coming out of that house using a cell phone as a flashlight.  Their divorce settlement states that he needed permission from her to visit that property.

Given Gaucho Mark's poor sense of direction (after all, he thought he was on the Appalachian Trail when he wound up in Buenos Aires), perhaps there's a reasonable explanation.  We can't wait to hear what it is.

UPDATE:  From "Tiger Beat on the Potomac" (h/t Mr. Pierce), looks like the National Republican Congressional Committee has decided to cut its losses with Gaucho Mark.
