And Governor Sanford to find his way home

Only South Carolina could "lose" their governor. Found his SUV, though

He's expected back at work today. Not sure if that's good news or bad.

Appalachia....Argentina....six of one...half a dozen of the other.

Too too funny. Even his wife and aides don't know where he goes.

My favorite is he went for some peace and quiet. Let's see - about a 10 - 12 hour travel - in a plane with restless passengers and crying kids...to a city not exactly known as a place of rest and relaxation. For at most two days and then a long, long flight back. What...no rooms available in the other Big Apple?

Sunday was "Hike Naked Day" - He wasn't on the Appalachian Trail doing his thing, He was in Argentina, doing his thing.

What's easier to overcome?

An extramarital affair?

Of running the country into the ground?

I heard that he found better "service" in Argentina.

With all the cutbacks in the Park Service, he thought about "Bungling in the Jungle"----in Argentina.

Holy Cow - now he admits to having had an affair!!

(CNN) -- South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford admitted Wednesday, amid speculation over his whereabouts for the last several days, that he has been engaged in an extramarital affair with an Argentinian woman.

"I've been unfaithful to my wife," Sanford told a news conference in Columbia, the state capital. "I developed a relationship with what started as a dear, dear friend from Argentina."

His voice choking at times, Sanford apologized to his wife and four sons, his staff and supporters, and said he would resign immediately as head of the Republican Governors Association. The affair was discovered five months ago, Sanford said.
