That Wacky Governor

I've been interested by the reports about the "disappearance" of South Carolina governor Mark Sanford. At some point over the weekend, reporters started to wonder where he was (I haven't quite figured out why). His staff announced that he hiking the Appalachian Trail ... alone. And that his wife and his staff didn't know how to get in contact with him.

Turns out he was actually in Argentina? Weird.

Update. Oops. Looks like it was a South American affair. You have to wonder if disappearing to Argentina and not telling your staff or anyone else apparently is an attempt to be found out. Surely he would have known someone would start to look for him?

Next Update. I feel bad about calling him wacky. I thought he was just a little non-traditional for a governor. This is less wacky and more sad.
