So the governor of South Carolina is MISSING?

I wonder just where did he “cruise along the coast”?, there is no highway that “cruises” along the coast, you can go to different touristic cities in the coast but the road is just “pampa” all along, no view of the sea that I know of, until you get to the city in question.

The view is somewhat like this:

grass…, cow, grass…, cow, cow, sheep, grass, grass, grass, gas station, grass… grass… grass… cow, horse…

You realize having ‘money’ is also a pun? :wink:

What the heck was he doing in Argentina?

Arrrgh! But that’s okay, because I didn’t notice it so it’s accidental. :slight_smile:

According to CNN, “Sanford told The State the legislative session was difficult for him, particularly losing the fight over whether he should accept $700 million in federal stimulus money he wanted lawmakers to spend on debt instead of urgent budget needs.”

He up and disappears because losing a political battle was too hard on him? CNN also refers to Sanford as a “possible 2012 contender.” I’m guessing his rivals won’t forget this little episode when the campaign rolls around. “Would you have to disappear if negotiations with the North Koreans broke down? Well, would you!?”

Maybe he wanted to avoid another round of this.

Yea, I’m thinking he just put the kibosh on that opportunity. Thank God.

Oh, goodie. Muckraker says he wasn’t alone.

How’s his press conference going? I’m not near a TV.

In a rambling, rambling, WEIRD apology, Sanford is admitting he cheated on his wife with a woman from Argentina.

Notice how he didn’t apologize to his wife. Everyone else, but all he said about her was that she’s been behind him all along for the last 20+ years. :rolleyes:

He’s toast, in politics. He ought to just resign now, though I’m not certain the Lt. Gov. is much better as someone to run the state. <sigh>

Damn it, I had $40 on cheating with a man.

The Christian Science Monitor is talking about possible impeachment hearings. Doubt it has legs but that was before the affair was revealed.

Don’t toss that ticket – we only know he was with a woman because he said he was with a woman, but a day ago he was saying he was on the Appalachian Trail.

This has got to be the most half-hearted attempt to hide an affair by a public official in recent memory. Tell people your going hiking for a week without your celphone, then try and sneak off to another country and hope no one notices?

At least his kids will know what he really wants for Fathers Day next year…

What a classy guy!!!

Well, Shot Clock did say he’s a Floridian … maybe we should see if he has a glass eye.

Link to story about the admission of an affair, since the other recent linked articles don’t mention this detail.

Obviously, I’m shocked. I just couldn’t imagine him running around on his wife. I also couldn’t imagine anybody other than his wife wanting to be with him in the first place.

Well, he’s about to find out how those with only a couple of million, rather than a hundred million, feel. What a schmuck. What a shmo. Thanks, asshole. As if my state doesn’t have enough problems.

More like who the heck was he doing in Argentina. :stuck_out_tongue:

This really is awesome to watch from a distance (I left S.C. at 18 and never went back). The schaudenfreude is really too much. More implosion from the GOP, the party of “family values.”
