My two cents worth

1. OK, many of you watched the show last night, or looked up the big announcement later on, admit it. Deep down, can you really blame the guy?


2. Governor's office: Sanford is hiking the Appalachian Trail
June 22, 2009 10:18 PM CDT

COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) - After questions of his whereabouts, Gov. Mark Sanford's office says he's hiking the Appalachian Trail.
Joel Sawyer, the governor's spokesman, released a statement and wanted to emphasize that the staff or the governor's wife weren't concerned about his location because Sanford has done something like this before.


Anyone else suspect the Gov is really on a bender in Cherokee with ADG and some of Spitzer's friends? He's no more hiking the AT than I am.

According to his wife, "He was writing something and wanted some space to get away from the kids"...on Father's Day.

Interesting....

Oh Toad, this made me laugh out loud! I thought the exact same thing - except he was in Tunica. (You can't drink at Cherokee, currently.)

I had no idea firewater wasn't available in Cherokee. Thanks for the tip.

ADG said...

Leave Spitzer's friends out of this Toad.

ADG...hiking.

Ps...When you are with me, firewater is available everywhere.

Of course he's in Vegas. But, the AT cover is brilliant.

Agreed. A completely bogus story.

Oh, it just got better. Now, it's Argentina.

"Sanford told The State he was alone on the trip to Argentina. He declined to give any additional details about what he did other than to say he drove along the coastline."

Gone to Argentina to have an affair!

Whats wrong with having an affair in the good ole USofA ?

Toad said...

You couldn't make this stuff up

Toad said...

How do South Carolinians spell Argentina?

Appalachian

As I imagine the conversation:

Staffer: Where the hell are you? Your wife wants to know; the press is going bonkers; the Lt. Governor is eyeing your furniture . . .

Sanford: Oh hell. Make something up -- tell them I'm hiking the AT.

Local AM talk radio WBT (from Canada to Cuba at night) in Charlotte has discussed little else since the Guv'nor's press conference about 2:45 PM. That's over nine hours now.

It's big Ange, BIG!

At least the Mrs. had the decency to kick him to the curb.
