Mark Sanford Escapes To Secret Lair, To Cry



South Carolina welfare queen Governor Mark Sanford is nowhere to be found, in South Carolina! His “whereabouts” have been “unknown to state officials since Thursday,” the news outlets report. This country should consider itself lucky to have survived the weekend! So did he get kidnapped in Mexico or something? Hopefully, but those close to him — and no, that does not include his family — claim he is just crying in private for a few days after losing a political battle.

South Carolina authorities are literally trying to trace calls from his cell phone to figure out where the governor of their state is:
Neither the governor’s office nor the State Law Enforcement Division has been able to reach Sanford, who left the mansion in a black SLED Suburban SUV, said Sen. Jake Knotts and three others familiar with the situation who declined to be identified.

Sanford’s last known whereabouts were near Atalanta, where a mobile telephone tower picked up a signal from his phone, authorities said.
His wife clearly gives a shit, too.
First lady Jenny Sanford told The Associated Press her husband has been gone for several days and she doesn’t know where. She said she was not concerned. Jenny Sanford said the governor said he needed time away from their children to write something.
Uhh.

BUT NO ONE WORRY, everything is okay.
The governor’s office said in a statement: “Gov. Sanford is taking some time away from the office this week to recharge after the stimulus battle and the legislative session, and to work on a couple of projects that have fallen by the wayside. We are not going to discuss the specifics of his travel arrangements or his security arrangements.”
Ah, so he’s having an affair. Thanks!

Damn, I was just coming to post this. He can't be too lost, he's still putting out messages on his Twitter account. ;-)

Friend of mine said this: Dem. John Land prays for Sanford's safety, says behavior is "erratic." Now that's how you rough up a political opponent while staying clean.

Same here! I just saw this on MSNBC and looked it up on Politico.

Well no, because people can't have fun. There's an economic crisis!!!!

Also...

State Sen. Jake Knotts, a Republican, said in a statement, "I was recently made aware that Governor Sanford has frequently been eluding SLED agents and disappearing at odd times.... As the head of our state, in the unfortunate event of a state of emergency or homeland security situation, Governor Sanford should be available at all times to the chief of SLED."

So what kind of sex scandal is so important he disappears without telling the people who NEED to know? I bet it involves a tranny.

"I bet it involves a tranny."
Well, obviously. I mean, being with a trans* woman? Scandalous. He'll be mocked by everyone, and it could be the end of his career!

God, I wish the above statement wasn't so fucking true.

omgangiepants 22nd-Jun-2009 08:51 pm (UTC)
I hope he was torn apart by wolves.
schonste 22nd-Jun-2009 09:00 pm (UTC)
:(

That'd make them sick. No wolf should eat something so full of bull shit.

mhael My guess?22nd-Jun-2009 08:58 pm (UTC)
He was finally brought to justice and sentenced to float through space in a giant 2 dimensional pane of glass, lost forever in The Phantom Zone.

I'm really, REALLY hoping that's it.

LOL We can only hope!
deyoyo 22nd-Jun-2009 08:59 pm (UTC)
His wife and office statements are.... L O L.
filbypott 22nd-Jun-2009 09:00 pm (UTC)
Sheesh. At least when Mittwit Romney took time off and neglected his duties (ie, always), we knew where he was.
sykojello 22nd-Jun-2009 09:01 pm (UTC)
he needed time away from their children to write something

I shudder to think what he's going to come back with.
chaobell 22nd-Jun-2009 09:02 pm (UTC)
Did anyone check under the kitchen table?

#WheresSanford?
schonste 22nd-Jun-2009 09:23 pm (UTC)
LOL. There are some awesome ones.

Sanford spotted on levitating train to the Moonlight Bunny Ranch. #wheressanford

Huddled in the corner at some bar in Columbia, S.C., with @newtgingrich, plotting the Republican comeback.. in Iran.

whosmurry 22nd-Jun-2009 09:08 pm (UTC)
Did he decided to secede from reality?
ceilidh_ann 22nd-Jun-2009 09:08 pm (UTC)
Maybe he's in the Doom Room with Glenn Beck, sobbing into each other's arms?
7eventeen 22nd-Jun-2009 09:18 pm (UTC)
I felt there was a need.
kseda 22nd-Jun-2009 09:52 pm (UTC)
I approve of your impulse.
lara_aine 22nd-Jun-2009 10:22 pm (UTC)

laurie_springs 22nd-Jun-2009 10:39 pm (UTC)
I was loling HARD @ MSNBC's breaking coverage of this.

He's probably chilling in some place noone would expect.....like San Francisco.
kermit 23rd-Jun-2009 01:41 am (UTC)
I hope he stays missing.
tigerdreams 23rd-Jun-2009 03:53 am (UTC)
According to ABC News, he's apparently on the Appalachian Trail. http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory?id=7902260

It's also really classy that he didn't contact his family on Father's Day.
evilgmbethy 23rd-Jun-2009 06:55 am (UTC)
aww, the gov's gone on walkabout again.

beoweasel 23rd-Jun-2009 07:40 am (UTC)
I just see Sanford going up to Graham and Demint, and going, "Quickly, Nightwing and Robin, to the Douche Cave!"
