Mark Sanford was on The Colbert Report last year

by Bob Sassone, posted Jun 25th 2009 2:32PM

The weirdest part of that Governor Mark Sanford press conference yesterday wasn't the odd detail he gave or the lies he told his staff about this whole affair/hike, it was the girl in the background behind Sanford who kept smiling broadly. Perhaps the next time a cheating politician has a press conference he should do it with his back against a wall.

Anyway, Stephen Colbert tackled the subject last night. He has a unique take on it because he actually interviewed Sanford back in early 2008 as part of his "Better Know" series (the interview was repeated earlier this year). Here's the whole episode (the Sanford segment is first).

Am surprised Stephen didn't note the chatty ladies out back. I sort of expected them to already be on Fox n Friends by now - http://www.newsy.com/videos/from_argentina_with_love_and_apologies - where they seem to be worried more about the way Sanford delivered his mea culpa more than anything else.

Re the smiling girl:
I noticed that too and there was a guy back there smiling and grinning too! I don't know if they were having their own private conversation, on or off the topic, or what but it was sort of cracking me up. The stupid slob was confessing his sins to the world and people were truly enjoying it unashamedly.

"Perhaps the next time a cheating politician has a press conference he should do it with his back against a wall."
Well, I think it only appropriate since his back is already against the wall figuratively. ;-)
