I guess my question about Sanford is answered…

Earlier this week I asked a simple three letter question about South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford.  I guess he answered that question today.

I hope the Argentina trip was worth it.  I hope we can continue to hear more from his Republican colleagues about family values in the next 17 months.

Thanks for playing, Mark.  Enjoy this lovely totebag as a parting gift:

You can have it for just $9.99!

Mark Sanford = WTF?

To think here in Minnesota we just speak about our beloved Gov. Tim Pawlenty being absent from the real work of governing as figurative speech.  Maybe he can take a hint from South Carolina’s Mark Sanford about how to get lost for real:

 

The governor went missing four days ago and his state is in a tizzy.

Sanford ditched his security detail on Thursday, missed Father’s Day weekend with his family, and didn’t show up at work Monday.

Neither his wife, nor the state’s lieutenant governor, nor police officials know where he is, South Carolina newspapers reported.

But Jenny Sanford told the Associated Press she wasn’t worried.

“He was writing something and wanted some space to get away from the kids,” she said while vacationing with the couple’s four sons.

Cute.  Nothing says “family values” like getting away from the kids on Father’s Day!

Earlier today, when the S.C. legislature overrode ten of his vetoes (ouch!), it was discovered he was somewhere off on the Appalachian Trail.  Hopefully on the trail for the GOP presidential nomination, likely candidate Sanford will eventually give likely candidate Pawlenty advice on how to take a hike. 

Ha Ha! I’ll be here all week.  Be sure to tip your bartender!
