The Case Of The Missing Governor

And it just keeps getting stranger and stranger. Gov. Mark Sanford’s (R-SC) little "excellent adventure" has taken another turn. First nobody knew where he had gone. Even his wife when contacted on vacation over Father's Day weekend had no clue but strangely didn't seem the least worried.

Meanwhile once the press began hounding the governors office, they told reporters the Governor had gone hiking along the Appalachian Trail to "clear his head." OK, sounds sort of plausible, but then NBC new reported his car was seen at the Atlanta airport and he was seen boarding a plane. Hike?

Now comes new that he was in South America for a short vacation, a seven-day trip to Buenos Aires, Argentina. Now that is a hike! More worrisome is his failure to transfer power ion the state or his notifying his staff or wife where he was.

Now far be it for me to start rumors, but oh what the heck! South America? Sounds like he was getting away for a little illicit activity that he didn't feel safe participating in in the US. Heck if I wanted to clear my head I could go to hundreds of places here in the US before I took off to Buenos Aires, but hey, I'm not the governor of South Carolina. With behavior like this, he might not be for long either!
