South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford, who has his eye on the GOP presidential nomination in 2012, has some ’splainin’ to do, first to his wife and children, then to the people of South Carolina, and then to the rest of us.
The governor, who tried to reject federal stimulus funds, only to be reversed by the legislature, split town Thursday after the legislature ended its session.
He didn’t tell anybody where he was going, even his wife and kids. He left them hanging on Fathers Day weekend.
There was a report he was hiking on the Appalachian Trail, something he told one of his staffers he might do. But that wasn’t true. Instead, he flew to Buenos Aires, Argentina. Why? He hasn’t said.
Sanford is now back in SC. But his erratic behavior should end his presidential chances once and for all.
