In an admission that raises further questions about his veracity and will almost certainly lead to more calls for his resignation, Undone Gov. Mark Sanford has admitted to the AP that he's met with his Argentine lover several more times that he's previously said:

In a lengthy, emotional interview with The Associated Press, the governor described seven meetings with the woman, including their first in 2001. Sanford says there have been five over a 12-month period, including two multi-night stays with her in New York.

It was the first disclosure of any get-togethers with her in the United States and contradicted a public confession last week during which he admitted to a total of four encounters in the past year.

While the Wild Bull of the Pampas insists that no public money was used to pay for the additional liaisons, it's become increasingly apparent that his word cannot be trusted.
