After taking a long weekend to himself, South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford finally made contact with his office today, The State newspaper reports.

As we posted a short time ago, the paper reported that neither his office nor the State Law Enforcement Division had been able to reach the governor since he left his mansion in a black sports utility vehicle on Thursday.

Sanford’s office has contacted the governor and told the office of Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer that they now know where he is and that he is fine, according to the State.

"The governor put in a lot of time during this last legislative session, and after the session winds down it's not uncommon for him to go out of pocket for a few days at a time to clear his head," Joel Sawyer, the communications director for Sanford's office, told CBS News. "Before leaving last week, he let staff know his whereabouts and that he'd be difficult to reach. Should any emergencies arise between the times in which he checks in, our staff would obviously be in contact with other state officials as the situation warrants before making any decisions."

The governor's wife, Jenny Sanford, told the Associated Press Monday that she did not know where the governor was. Bauer also said he did not know where Sanford was -- but that he had not been put in charge in the governor's absence.

Who the fuck leaves home for four days and doesn't tell his wife where he's going?
 
Aren't there rumors that he's gay?



... Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Prolly some mental issues but really, isn't that his business? Still, it would make me rethink my vote next election if I lived in South Carolina (shudder).

why, he told his office where he was going, and that he would be out of contact
 
He should have told his wife.

Other than that, there's nothing wrong with what he did, assuming of course he didn't do anything wrong.
actually, if you read the story at the link, she knew what he was doing

Jenny Sanford told the AP she was not concerned about her husband's absence and that he needed time apart from his children to write something.

this is chris' attempt to make something out of nothing once again

You need to work on reading more critically, and possibly getting out in the world a bit more.

Based on the article, we don't know whether or not his wife knew where he was, we only know she "told the Associated Press Monday that she did not know where the governor was."

Time for you to do some research under the headings

"Skillset of Politicians' Wives"

and

"Veracity found in the media."

No big deal, then.

Seems weird to me.

He disappears on Fathers Day weekend?

Maybe it was because of what happened last week....

COLUMBIA, S.C. — The South Carolina General Assembly overrode Gov. Mark Sanford's vetoes Tuesday and approved a bill to study and recommend changes to the state tax structure.

Lawmakers overturned all 10 Sanford vetoes, creating laws that would limit the number of payday loans, allow lawmakers to choose those who oversee state ports, and limit where sex offenders can live.

The one-day session wrapped up work for the year, with lawmakers not scheduled to return until January.
