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.
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!?”
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>
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?
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.
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.”
