We know Sarah Palin is an idiot. Bobby Jindal blew up his political career with his ridiculous indictment of volcano monitoring. Now Mark Sanford, the Governor of South Carolina, disappears for four days without telling anyone where he was going...

http://www.thestate.com/local/story/836552.html

Is there anyone in the Republican leadership who isn't batshit crazy or just fucking stupid?

Disappearing into the woods on your own without telling your family (on Fathers Day, no less) is a sign that something is really wrong with you.

Any chances of this guy running in 2012 have officially ended.

The guy is the governor of a state and nobody can get in touch with him for four days? That would be great for a future POTUS.

So what is really going on here?

1. Nervous breakdown
2. Liaison
3. Gay Liaison

Those are really the only options.

It's totally the sign of a nervous breakdown, a definite cry for help. It's seriously fucked up for a guy in his position to act out like that. He was even on McCain's short list of VP candidates.

I agree that such behavior would be crazy, but sources are saying he did in fact tell his staff he would be out, and his wife knew he was going to be gone a few days.

I'm not sure that the fuss is all about. Bulletin to the non-outdoors people: mobile phone service isn't available in many areas people hike to.



"Earlier Monday, Sawyer said that before the governor left town last week “he let staff know his whereabouts and that he'd be difficult to reach.”

from http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0609/24046.html


I agree it is an odd story, but can't a guy go on a fuckin hike? Mayor Fenty is in Asia every minute doing who knows what for DC on DC's dime, yet you guys post a story calling a governor who goes on a hike crazy. But if the Lt. Governor did not know where the governor was there is clearly a communications gap they need to fill.

So his staff and wife, who originally spoke to the press to say they didn't know where he was, are now saying they knew where he was all along? The wife is quoted as saying that she did not know where he was. This is obviously a pathetic attempt to backtrack. This wouldn't have gotten to the point of being a national story if people knew where he was. I guess they assume Republicans are stupid enough to believe this B.S. (that's true in your case, apparently).

It is interesting how everyone assumes that blackberries work, well, everywhere. I go to the GW national forest on trails and such and the phone never works, better to turn it off an save the battery.

We're used to urban/suburban wireless service, but you don't have to drive for long to get to areas where mobile services are totally unavailable. I agree that the governor of a state should be able to go on a hike if he wants to, but he needs to communicate his whereabouts ahead of time and (in my opinion) should not be allowed to go alone only for the sake of the state he runs.

I am not sure why you are jumping on me, I already agreed the story was odd. As for who said what I'm only passing on what is being reported for a story that is obviously incomplete. I guess republikans like to wait until all the facts are in before passing judgment instead of calling people names and jumping to conclusions, sorry.

Look at what his fucking PR guy said...

But Sanford spokesman Joel Sawyer issued a statement late Monday night saying that the governor was “hiking along the Appalachian Trail,” the first word on Sanford’s location since he was seen departing the state capital on Thursday.

“I apologize for taking so long to send this update, and was waiting to see if a more definitive idea of what part of the trail he was on before we did so,” Sawyer said in the statement.

The thing blows up into a national story and the PR guy is waiting to figure out what part of the trail he is on? Do you REALLY believe this shit? He could have said that Friday, Saturday or Sunday. They could have issued a statement the day the governor left. This is 100% bullshit.

Republicans like to rationalize crazy behavior from fellow Republicans.

But why would he miss Fathers Day and not tell his wife? Doesn't he care about family values anymore?

While I see your point, you have to realize how big an area we are talking about. The Trail is over 2000 miles long and spans fourteen states before it continues into Canada... if they couldn't answer the question of what state he was in, the rest is kind of pointless. If he had said on Friday that the governor was on the east coast somewhere between Georgia and Canada, you would have laughed at the answer. But it's the SAME ANSWER if you don't know where on the trail he is.

Meeper: I agree the story is fucked up, I haven't said otherwise and I'm not defending his lack of communication if that indeed was the case. I can't believe that a governor would just vanish, that's why I'm waiting for the rest of the story. If WTL's knee-jerk accusations end up being correct then I'll join the both of you in calling him an idiot asshole.

The breaking news stories had his wife saying he was off somewhere "writing" so she clearly knew he had gone somewhere even if his entire staff didn't.

Here's the answer. "Yes, we know where the governor is. He's on the Appalachian Trail. He started out in Georgia and We anticipate he will check in with us when he is on a part of the trail where he can do so."

He's already an idiot asshole because he destroyed his political career while leaving his family and colleagues in a lurch.

How much communication is there between a husband and wife when she didn't know he was on the Appalachian Trail?

Are you married? If so, have you ever disappeared for four days to "go writing" without letting your wife know more than that? Would your wife insist on knowing more than that?

That's why I'm wondering if this isn't an "open marriage" thing where he is fucking some dude int he ass. If it were a nervous breakdown, you would think she would be more upset about it.

Maybe he and Larry Craig were hiking together.

Your obsession with this line of suspicion is leading me to believe that you seem disappointed to not be invited. I am not saying that to start a flame war with you, but seriously, what the hell is the obsession.

conVince agreed that he would be inclined to call the governor out if the facts warrant it. Just leave it at that. I noticed you weren't so rabid when you got pwned by ITRADE on the Sen. Boxer thread. You just said, let's drop it as I am wrong. Take your own advice.

They are likely suffering "world-crumbled-beneath-their-feet" syndrome. This was preceded by the realization of their false utopia of family values and cheap credit that they seem to enjoy so much.

Sanford seems like he's headed in the same direction as the stepford wife in Revolutionary Road.

Please revisit the thread. I didn't say "drop it because I was wrong."

I said ITRADE and the others were free to believe their inaccurate perception of the facts. I wasn't going to fight it anymore because I wasn't going to change their minds even though they were wrong. The only way they were right is by distorting what I wrote, claiming "command authority" when I never claimed that.

That is just a pussy ass way of saying I give up because I know I am wrong but am too stubborn to admit it. I know it, you know it, everybody knows it.

I wrote that Congress has civil authority in relation to the military. Idiots like you can't distinguish between "civil authority" and "commander in chief." They aren't the same thing.

As for being wrong, you may believe I am wrong and there are others on this forum who may believe I am wrong. The truth is, the facts bear me out. If you want to be too stubborn to admit it, that's your problem.

She's not going to fill out the census form? But wouldn't it be Un-American if she did that?

maybe he was REALLY stressed out and had to get away from it all. as for not telling your own family, did he not tell them/leave a note or did he not tell them what/why/where? i try to give people the benefit of the doubt, even the crazy ones.

WTF? They keep digging themselves deeper holes and in a recent survey, a majority of people didn't even know who speaks for the Republican party. It seems since the election, Republicans have garnered nothing but negative publicity.

congress dropped to a 9% approval rating after the democrats took the majority but has either party disassembled? of course not.

issues that the parties disagree with dont just go away because you think one party sucks.


"the wisdom of the wise will perish, the intelligence of the intelligent will vanish."

I didn't say the Republican party was disassembled. I just think it has hit rock bottom and their opinions are irrelevant to Americans.
They are going to have to redeem themselves in the public eye, especially when people associate Republicans with Palin, Bush, etc....


The latest news that Washtone posted does not help their situation.

That article has a funny bad photoshop in it.

edit to add: but from reading the article, there does appear to be a bit of a double-standard here. The mayor of DC is DC's highest public official, and the closest analogue to a "governor" there is for DC. Hopefully he tells his family where he is going like any non-loon would, but it looks like there needs to be a new awareness of succession and delegation of powers in the minds of our world-traveling public officials.


From the article:

-----------------------------
"D.C. Council Chairman Vincent Gray, who is first in the line of succession to the mayor and the second-highest ranking elected official in town, is in the dark.

"The Chairman was not informed. I am told the Mayor does not inform the Chairman when he is going out of town as a practice," Gray's spokesperson Doxie McCoy writes in an email to WTOP.

First, Fenty isn't a prospective candidate for POTUS. Second, Fenty's people aren't out and out lying about his whereabouts. Third, Fenty has been roundly criticized in the press for this - as noted by the fucking article you are citing, dummy.

This has to be a gay sex liaison thing. You leave the fucking country for a week by yourself and without telling anyone? To drive the coast? I guarantee you that when the truth comes out, it is going to be majorly embarrassing.

So if it turns out Sanford was getting some strange on the side, what are the odds that the NY Post or NY Daily News run with the headline "Sanford & Some?"

No one has asked yet if he used taxpayer money to fund whatever trip he was on, hopefully that question is next.

I'm still not 100% convinced it was with a woman.

Especially since he's a Republican and they seem to hypocrites to the nth degree when it comes to their pro-family, anti-gay stances.

I'm absolutely mystified that he put absolutely zero effort into his sneaking around. NOBODY thinks about hiking on the Appalachian trail and decides at the last minute to just go driving up and down the coast of Argentina without at least letting his family know what he's up to.

"Abducted by aliens" would have been a better excuse.

Probably more indicative of the possibility that his wife knew/knows what he's doing and doesn't care or is resigned to it for her own self interests.

YA RLY. I can manufacture better lies than this dummy, and I'm not even a politician. Aren't these guys supposed to be professionals?

Dumbass, are you a product of the Fairfax County Public Schools?

The Billboard Hot 100 is the United States music industry standard singles popularity chart issued weekly. Chart rankings are based on airplay and sales.

Now answer the question.

HAHAHHAHAHA....It's certainly a retarded enough post to be the MIA INK-tard.

Or is he "driving the coast" of the Northern Neck, having a torrid affair with his gay Argentinian hairdresser Miguel?

Seriously, somebody needs to take away the Republicans drugs, or at least get them to cut back.

Yes, we in North Korea are so happy you Americans worry about this kind of story as we move our weapons into position. Your press does a great job of covering "real news" .

Dang, her name was Maria. How cool would it have been if her name was Tina.

The answer is "YES!"

Did anyone catch his press conference? There are excerpt in this a.m.'s Post. Much of it is way out in left field and highly quotable. I'll see if I can dig up a link.

Walla......and WTF?!?!

---------------------------------------

COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) - The following is a transcript of South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford's remarks at Wednesday's news conference (edited for clarity).

I won't begin in any particular spot. Let me just start with ... I don't see her, where's Gina Smith? Not here? Ok. I had a conversation with Gina Smith this morning when I arrived in Atlanta and I told her about my love of the Appalachian Trail. I used to organize hiking trips. Actually, when I was in high school I would get a soccer coach or a football coach to act as chaperone, and then I'd get folks to pay me $60 each, or whatever it was, to take the trip and then off we'd go and have these great adventures in the Appalachian Trail.

And I told her of adventure trips both in college, was a campus representative for Eastern Airlines and could fly free, which meant I'd fly to different places around the world, get myself a job, carry $100 in emergency money and either find a job there with locals and come back, or come on home. Told about my years in Congress, and early years in governorship, of different adventure trips of leaving and traveling different places, because what I have found in this job is that one desperately needs a break from the bubble. We're in every word, every moment is recorded, just to completely break and I've found that to be true in trips to the farm, or in trips to other places further afield...and all those things were true.

I talked about the profound frustrations that I felt over this last legislative session in the battle that was in place with the government stimulus package, the $700 million in play, and how in an emotional level I found it exhausting.

I tried making as good as stand as I could, not for a further political office. What was interesting is always viewed of you doing this to climb some further political office? It was always based on that idea that I genuinely believe that that actually would be bad for the taxpayers and made the stand as I did.

So all those things we talked about this morning were true, but they're not the whole story, and that's obviously why everybody's gathered here right now. So let me lay out that larger story that has attracted so many of you all here. I'm a bottom line kind of guy. I'll lay it out. It's gonna hurt, and we'll let the chips fall where they may.

In so doing, let me first of all apologize to my wife Jenny, and our four great boys Marshall, Landon, Bolton and Blake for letting them down.

One of the primary roles well before being a governor is being a father to those four boys who are absolute jewels and blessings that I've let down in a profound way. And I apologize to them. And I don't like apologizing in this realm, but given the immediacy of y'alls wanting to visit and my proximity to them, this is the first step in what will be a very long process on that front.

I would secondly say to Jenny, anybody who has observed her over the last 20 years of my life knows how closely she has stood by my side in campaign after campaign after campaign and literally being my campaign manager and the raising of those four boys and in a whole host of other things throughout the lives that we've built together.

I would also apologize to my staff, because as much as I did talk about going to the Appalachian Trail, that was one of the original scenarios that I'd thrown out to Mary Neal, that isn't where I ended up. And so I let them down by creating a fiction with regard to where I was going, which means that I then in turn given as much as they relied on that information, let down people that I represent across this state.

And so I want to apologize to my staff, and I want to apologize to anybody who lives in South Carolina for the way that I let them down on that front.

I want to apologize to good friends. Tom Davis came over to the house, he drove up from Beaufort, and he had been an incredibly dear friend for a very long time.

In my first race for governor he moved up and he lived in the basement of our house for six months and we called it 'Jurassic Park' 'cause it was the kids' dinosaur shoes and all kinds of different folks were living there in the campaign and he gave of his time and his talent and his effort for ideas that he believed in, to try and make a difference in those ideas. And so I have in a very profound way, have let down the Tom Davis' of the world.

On the ride over here I called the house and in the background I could hear my parents in laws who had come up to be with Jenny, and I've let them down.

I had the most, you know, surreal of conversations a number of weeks ago with my father-in-law, laying some cards on the table and he was incredibly, gentlemanly, as you cannot imagine, in saying here were some things I was struggling with regard to where my heart was, where I was in life, those different kinds of things. And I let him down.

I've let down a lot of people. That's the bottom line.

And I let them down and in every instance I would ask there forgiveness. Forgiveness is not an immediate process, it is in fact a process that takes time and I'll be in that process for quite some weeks and months and I suspect years ahead.

But I'm here because if you were to look at God's laws, in every instance it is designed to protect people from themselves. I think that that is the bottom line of God's law. It is not a moral, rigid list of do's and don'ts just for the heck of do's and don'ts, it is indeed to protect us from ourselves. And the biggest self of self is indeed self. If sin is in fact grounded in this notion of what is it that I want, as opposed to somebody else.

And in this regard let me throw one more apology out there and that is to people of faith across South Carolina or for that matter across the nation, because I think that one of the big disappointments when -- believe it or not I've been a person of faith all my life -- if somebody falls within the fellowship of believers or the walk of faith, I think it makes it that much harder for believers to say well, where does that person come from or folks that weren't believers to say where indeed was that person coming from. SO one more apology in there.

But I guess where I'm trying to go with this is there are moral absolutes and that God's law indeed is there to protect you from yourself, and there are consequences if you breach that. This press conference is a consequence.

And so the bottom line is this. I've been unfaithful to my wife. I have developed a relationship with a...what started as a dear dear friend from Argentina. It began very innocently as I suspect many of these things do in just a casual email back and forth in advice on one's life there and advice here. But here recently over this last year it developed into something much more than that.

And as a consequence I hurt her, I hurt you all, I hurt my wife, I hurt my boys, I hurt friends like Tom Davis, I hurt a lot of different folks. And all I can say is that I apologize.

I would ask your ya'lls, I guess I'm not deserving of indulgence, but indulgence not for me, but for Jenny and the boys, you know there are a team of cameras and crews and all those sorts of things camped out down at Sullivan's Island, and I would just ask for a zone of privacy, if not for me, for her and the boys.

As we go through the process of working through this there are going to be some hard decisions to be made, to be dealt with. And those are probably not best dealt with through the prism of television cameras and media headlines.

You know I'm committed to that process of walking through with Jenny and the boys, with the TOm Davis' of the world, with the people of South Carolina in saying 'where do we go from here?'

I would simply say I go back to that simple word of asking for forgiveness.

Just as a declarative statement, one more before we open up for a couple of questions and then I'll move on.

You know, I've tried to think of...one of the first steps is clearing out more time as we go through this process of reconciliation and figuring out what comes next. I'm going to resign as Chairman of the Republican Governors Association. I'm going to tender my resignation -- one, because I think it's the appropriate thing to do given other governors across this nation and my role as Chairman of the RGA, and two frankly just from the standpoint of time. You know if I think about this process, now it doesn't begin at a family level it begins with a family of South Carolinians, and so that means me going one by one and town by town to talk to a lot of old friends across this state in what I've done and be asking their forgiveness, and that'll take time, time I probably can't devote to the RGA.
