Was Governor Appalachia?
From New York Magazine:
We Don’t Believe Anything Mark Sanford Says Anymore
The world may never know exactly what South Carolina governor Mark Sanford did while he was AWOL this past week, but at least we now know where he went. A reporter for South Carolina's The State caught up with Sanford in Atlanta's international airport this morning as he returned from ... Buenos Aires, Argentina. But didn't his staff tell everyone just yesterday that Sanford was hiking the Appalachian Trail? And doesn't that trail typically run through Appalachia? Yes! Apparently nobody — not his staff, not his lieutenant governor, not the police, not his wife — knew where Sanford disappeared to. But before you start dreaming up all the ways that a frustrated politician might relieve his stress during a secret trip to South America, rest assured that, according to Sanford's untrustworthy and probably disingenuous account, he spent the week alone, driving along the coastline.
While the world may never know where
Or maybe it's just that he
never could stand that dog.
Either way, a hearty “welcome back” to the Prodigal Sanford!
A fatted highway construction project has been slain in your honor.
UPDATE: On the other hand, never mind...
From Yahoo News:
SC Gov. Mark Sanford says he's had an affair
By JIM DAVENPORT, Associated Press Writer Jim Davenport, Associated Press Writer
COLUMBIA, S.C. – South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford says he's been having an affair with a woman from Argentina and will resign as head of the Republican Governors' Association.
The married father of four emotionally apologized to his wife, staff and others at a news conference after returning Wednesday from a trip to Argentina that followed a dayslong absence. His staff had said the Republican was hiking on the Appalachian Trail.

Can you PLEASE link to your Republican impeachment quotes again? I don't think anyone anywhere should talk about this without mentioning
Clinton
Clinton
Clinton.
There's going to be a shitload of forgiveness talk in the GOP during this news cycle. We need to stuff their faces with the Clenis. Too visual? Suck on it, GOP.
Also...John Edwards.
This is the double standard Sarah Palin NEVER talks about. Never.
He went down to Argentina for some 1-on-1 instruction on how to keep big government from corruptin' the po' folks by ejjicatin' 'em.
(Especially, the dark-skinned ones.)
Whoa! ANOTHER "family values" trouser-snake escapes. Damn things are everywhere! :o)
WAAAYYY slicker and deadlier than an Aussie Death Adder... Only way to catch one is to find the car it was in, parked at the Atlanta Airport, and start checking out flight destinations...at which point, it will crawl home and hold a press-conference full of philosophical self-pity. (Check out HuffPo.)
Is Mark going to attend the next meeting of "wandering-dicks-r-us" anonymous? (Thanks, Gilly! :o) )
Is he going to sit next to Sen. Ensign?
Will they stand and cheer when they find out that Bubba Clinton is the chairman? I mean, they didn't like it so much, years ago.
Will Ms. Sanford do a Tammy Wynette? Mark can only hope. :o)
Dick Harpootlian, the former head of the S.C. Dems found it ALL too precious to not observe:
"Unless he runs for president of Argentina, I think he has no chance of becoming president. The rest of the country wouldn't have taken him seriously anyway."
Boy-howdy, is THAT spot-on. :o)
Leno is thinking:
"WTF! I left two weeks early."
"A fatted highway construction project has been slain in your honor."
Big time endorphin fix. :o)
And two stuffed and mounted tango dancers will be placed in the foyer of the governor's mansion, in perpetuity.
The bad news for Sanford is that the "Coast Highway" in Argentina is shorter than the side-to-side city limits of "the hog butcher to the world."
The Monterey-Peninsula-for-reflective soul-searching, it aint.
No one could have predicted ® that a Christian, family values Republican was a hypocrite.

Another one bites the dust.
They are making this easy.
Well, now we know why he turned down the Federal Recovery money - confusion. The gov figured his package didn't need more stimulus! (ba-da-bum)
Seriously the only way this story gets better is if we find out Lindsey Graham was in Argentina over the week-end, too. Don't Ask, Don't Tell. (ba-da-bing)
