(Where, in the world, is, Mark-en Sanford-ego? *cue Rockapella*)
What. The. Fuck.
- Who leaves the state for a week without telling his wife, his staff, or his lieutentant governor where he’s going? Or, if he did tell them, why did they do such a bad job lying about it?
- Clearly he wasn’t going hiking in the Appalachians (for now, let us set aside the question of whether he intended to be clothed). When did he decide to go to Buenos Aires? If he decided before leaving, then why was “his” car filled with camping/hiking stuff? If he decided on a whim on the way to the Trail, why was he bringing his passport on a hiking trip?
- Relatedly, the current climate in Argentina is quite different from the weather conditions in Georgia/SC/Tennessee, seeing how they’re in different hemispheres and all.
- Who decides on a whim to go to South America? And how does that work? Do you just walk into the airport and say, “I’d like to buy a ticket to…”, and then pull out a dart, throw it at the map, and slap down a wad of Benjamins for the fare?
- Gov. Sanford says he drove along the coast, but the AP points out that there’s no coastal road of any significant length in Buenos Aires. Why would you lie about that?
- I have too many questions. I don’t even know what to do.
As they say, “it’s not the gaycation, it’s the cover-up.” (Wait, do they say that?)
Press conference at 2 p.m. Should be way, way better than Wimbledon. My leading theory is still that he was having an affair with John Ensign. harveyj thinks it was with a Palin, although he wasn’t specific about which one, so now is the time to accuse him of being a god-damn child rapist.
