Mark Sanford, fiscal conservative:

Sanford said that some of the claims in the story — for example, that he took a flight from Myrtle Beach to Columbia simply to get a haircut — were taken out of the context of his full daily schedule. He noted that he went to get the haircut not at a fancy salon, but at the chain "Great Clips."

With those sailcloth partitions and a well-placed barber cape, no one could see he was sexting with his mistress.

Unfortunately for the missus, Great Clips wasn't the only place where G-Mark was getting his trim.
