    He took off with the stimulus money? or is this another Runaway Bride thing?

    Um, he's sick. My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw the governor pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

    I'd like to make some remark about wishing he'd taken a few other governors with him, but on the off chance he isn't just on the lam from something, I won't.

    My favorite part of the AP story...
    "I was recently made aware that Governor Sanford has frequently been eluding SLED agents and disappearing at odd times," Knotts said. Previously, Sanford has not been out of all contact - including with his own office - for this long before, a source, who insisted on anonymity, said.


    I'm thinking second family/mistress/rent boy...

    funny.. a guy goes missing, my first instinct is to be a bit concerned and hope he's well (regardless of whether he took stimulus money or not). i'd even go so far as to say there isn't anything snarky about a missing person. (but i get it, that's just me)...


    but pareene and gawker commenters...wow, you guys are something else.

    Anybody else a little preturbed by his wife's statement? It's like she's not even trying anymore.


    "He had to leave to get away from the kids and me to write... something, something or other. I think. I don't care. My julep is suspiciously empty. If you'll excuse me."

    My dad used to pull this stuff. He'd leave and then not come back for, like, 34 years, but we know he's on his way. Sometimes, I wonder if he'll be proud of me when he gets back.

    Sounds to me like a weekend bender -- and the lack of alarm/concern up to this point suggests that he's probably gone on weekend benders before.


    Except this time, he didn't re-surface on Monday like he usually does. So now maybe people are getting a little alarmed/concerned.

    "My husband has been an absolute nervous wreck ever since they tore our antenna off the Governor's mansion. He heard there might be some of that digital tv over in Georgia and decided if he didn't leave right away, he'd miss Jon & Kate's big announcement. I pray, God willing, he'll bring back word of what they got to say."

    And I should also mention that he went missing, without his wife knowing where he was, ON FATHER'S DAY WEEKEND. Come on, now! This has rehab written all over it.

    Jenny Sanford said the governor said he needed time away from their children to write something.


    Since when is a tranny blow called writing?

    The father of someone I know did this -- fall of the map for several days with his phone off. The wife (as here) was less concerned than one might think she'd be. Turns out dad was off with his secret other family and his complicated call forwarding system had crapped out. The wife suspected.

    I had a neighbor whose husband disappeared for a few days and everyone was worried except for his wife. A few months later the police arrested her for murder.

    @oudemia:


    there was a murder in Sydney Australia where that actually happened. the police came to a home to investigate a civil disturbance and found the husband's body cavity roasting in the oven and his head in a pot...and his skin on a coat rack. The wife was a butcher. The lesson here is never marry a butcher.

    @Xenu Warrior God: Do you mean the abattoir worker, Katherine Mary Knight? That happened in Aberdeen (which is about 170 miles from Sydney). She was sentenced to life in prison (no death penalty in Australia). She roasted parts of her partner and put it out with gravy for his adult children - this was viewed as an attempt by her to be found not guilty on the grounds of mental illness. [www.smh.com.au]

    @Dally: Because she wasn't REALLY crazy, was she? I'm glad the Australian law enforcement and legal system saw right through THAT little charade!


    Crazy? Pshaw! "Crazy smart like a fox" is more like it! Good thing they didn't put her in a mental institution. What a travesty of justice THAT would've been!
