Argentina is Not the Appalachian Trail

24Jun09

God this story is just weird.

What’s weird about it? Let me count the ways…

1. He had his staff lie about where he was; granted, Argentina is much more exciting than the Appalachians, but not worthy to be lied about. The fact that he lied PERIOD suggests he was in Argentina doing nefarious things.
2. His state is in financial ruin yet he felt it necessary to take an expensive trip ANYWHERE.
3. His wife didn’t seem too concerned about his departure or his whereabouts, even though he missed Father’s Day. This leads me to believe she is either used to him taking off without notice or knows a bit more about his trips than she is letting on. Either way, her lack of anger and concern are telling.
4. A Democratic Senate Majority Leader was concerned for his “erratic behavior.” When your opposing party seems concerned for your well-being, you know there is a problem.
5. Oh yeah, did I mention HE JUST UP AND LEFT?!?

I won’t throw out what I think he was doing in Argentina (because it’s hearsay and speculation), so lets err on the side of caution. Say Sanford WAS just running away from his problems as a Governor. You CANNOT just get up and leave for Argentina, for ANYWHERE, when things get tough, especially when you’re a FUCKING GOVERNOR.

Update: Nope, I was right to speculate. That son of a bitch.
