I love this guy:

South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford returned to the United States on Wednesday from a secret private trip to Argentina...

Is the Appalachian Trail in Argentina? Goes to show you how shaky my grasp of geography is.

And, as everyone knows, Argentina's Appalachian Trail is the best place to go when you are trying to get alone from the fam for a few days to hunker down and do some writing.

That's it! He went to a parallel universe!

That said, Gov. Sanford certainly has got my attention. I've bumped him up from "unknown to me, except for refusing to take Stimulus funds," to "intriguing."


** MEANWHILE, A FEW HOURS LATER **
** UPDATE: IT COULD BE WORSE: HE COULD HAVE GONE TO ARGENTINA WHEN IT WAS RAINING **

he tearfully confessed a yearlong affair with a woman he visited on a secret trip to Argentina...

now downgraded from "intriguing" to "just another fellah who thinks rules don't apply to him." Sigh.

Of course, 6 hours from now, we may get another "real story" leak; so who knows?
