I knew something was fishy with Gov.Sanford

[sarah553807]

Sanford's wife Jenny said she last talked to him on Thursday, and though she didn't know where he is, she said she wasn't concerned. She said he had left to have time to write.

Joel Sawyer, communications director for the governor's office, then said the governor had been on the Appalachian Trail. Sawyer said staffers heard from Sanford on Tuesday morning and the governor plans to return Wednesday.On Tuesday, sources told News 4's Nigel Robertson that a state vehicle is missing and was tracked down, not to the Appalachian Trail, but to the Hartsfield-Jackson Airport in Atlanta.

Sources told Robertson that a federal agent spotted Sanford in the airport boarding a plane. Robertson was told that the governor was not accompanied by security detail.But sources told WYFF News 4 that the federal agent who spotted Sanford saw him at the Atlanta airport, which is about 80 miles from the start of the trail.

WYFF News 4 has not yet confirmed where the plane was going or how the governor got to the airport, but it is clear there are two very different stories.News 4 called the governor's office, and was told again by staffers that they stand by their original statement that the governor is hiking the Appalachian Trail. They did not want to comment on this story.

Jennifer Evans...died at the age of 41 in NC this past week-end.....She was head of the state attorney general's criminal section and chief prosecutor in SC...From the way it's being told, everyone was pretty shocked at her untimely death...She's dead and the Governor's gone....shaking my head...wb

6. Maybe he's SICK.

He could have been going to some clinic for tests, and doesn't want people doing the typical "death watch" or demanding that he step down.

I do think he should come clean, though. The mystery isn't helping the situation.

16. The fucker fucked up by fucking around

17. well, I hate to see his family suffer for his mental illness

It sounds like he's either suffering a breakdown, or maybe he was involved in some sort of bad situation & didn't want to be around, and then decided to come back and wimped out of taking off forever

this is quite interesting! one GOPer falls right after another

[Divine Discontent]
