Wow. This story is just bizarre. First, we heard that Governor Mark Sanford just disappeared, taking a state vehicle, presumably just to get away from South Carolina after a legislative drubbing. But, then it came out that no one knew where he was, but that he had placed a phone call in or near Atlanta. Then, his staff claimed he was hiking the Appalachian Trail. After a few days AWOL, word came that he would be back this week. Then, today came.
This morning, he told reporters that he had been in Argentina. He wanted to do something exotic and went to Buenos Aires, visiting the "coast." Then, this afternoon, he admitted that he met a woman there. Just wow.
UPDATE: Here's a direct quote from Wonkette's liveblog of his presser: "2:31 — Ha ha ha, when he finally said what happened, a lady in the background gave a rather brutal 'WTF?' head turn." Love it!

This is disappointing.
After NJ and NY governors set the bar high (or would that be low?) for gubernatorial shenanigans, I was a proud, proud son of Illinois when Blago blew them out of the water with his nuttiness.
But, this might surpass Blago.
Seriously, another family values Republican scum bag. This might not even be scum baggery, but more really just kind of pathetic.
i found his press conference horribly sad. he seems in the middle of major tailspin with no idea how to get out of it.
despite my glee over what this does to the republican party, this is really a minor story (not to sassy, of course) and yet it's all the MSM was talking about last night and this morning. what a distraction.
