Sanfords out of state for week vacation

Gov. Mark Sanford and wife, Jenny, are traveling out of state for the rest of the week, according to the governor's office.

In a release sent out this morning, spokesman Joel Sawyer said the governor has canceled pending work for the rest of the week and is out of town with his wife. Sawyer would not say where the Sanfords had gone, only that they were "out of state but in country." Sawyer said the State Law Enforcement Division had been notified. Sawyer deferred question about security to SLED A SLED spokesperson said the agency knows where the governor and his wife are but would not discuss where or if security is with them. "The governor remains committed to working on his marriage," Sawyer said of the trip, adding the fact he is working on his relationship should not be a surprise to anyone.

Sanford's schedule has come under scrutiny after he left his security detail and took an undisclosed six-day trip to Argentina to visit his lover there, later admitting the extra-marital affair. Since then, Sanford has started issuing a weekly schedule that includes public events and plans for private staff discussions.

How will we live without him?????????????????????????

1. I guess his wife doesn't look so good now...

I got skewered royally for questioning her motives regarding her statements and actions when he returned. Now she seems quite willing to let him avoid his responsibilities so he can woo her back. As far as I can see, they deserve each other, but South Carolina deserves better.

15. The wife has him just where she wants him.

She could be the reason he got involved with another woman.

2. Can't your state file a desertion of duty charge, and get him fired?

Didn't he swear to serve his duties by the laws and description of his job?

3. There are 2 people who are responsible for

Sanford still being in office.

1 - Jenny Sanford - She gave people enough cover to not push for his resignation. They are using the meme that "All are sinners, and must have a chance for atonement." I still think she's up to something, but I'm still not sure what.

2 - Lt. Governor Andre Closeted Bauer - He has already proven to be an ass and crazier than a shithouse mouse. Every time somebody got ready to deliver a real thumpin' to Sanford, they remembered who would take his place.

19. Your "two people" explaination

is hilarious..jenny sanford does not want to lose her 1st lady status in SC and is prolly thinking of a grander 1st lady status.

My guess..when they get back..all will be forgiven by the wife and SC will get back to business as usual with sanford trying to out grandstand palin.

4. Shouldn't he lose his commission in the Air Force Reserves?

By his own admission, he is an adulterer.

12. Does the gov's office provide a GBR (Governor's Boinking Recap)?

13. "traveling out of state" ... together?

[Sal Minella]

16. Maybe he thinks forcing himself to fall in love with her again

will be easier somewhere else.

Or maybe he'll just accidentally fall off a cliff or something while they're out of state, who knows....

[Arugula Latte]
