he was in Argentina since last Thursday. At first his wife claimed she had no clue where he was, but he had to get away to "write something". He some space from his four kids on Father's day weekend. Then his staff tried to assure everyone that he was just "hiking the Appalachian trail" but they weren't sure exactly where he was between Georgia and North Carolina.
Low and behold, he now claims today that he just decided to do something "exotic" and leave the country and head for Argentina all the while no one in SC actually knew where he was.
Apparently fighing against his state getting any of the stimulus money has really taken it's toll on the guy. He's always been a strange duck, but this has to be the topper. A sitting Govenor leaves the country without transferring power or even notifying his own staff of his whereabouts.
There's also a report today that he'd been using State Law Enforcement vehilces at weird times during the night to go by himself to places without any of his security detail with him.
I wonder if he'll still be on the list of potential candidates for the GOP in 2012? Something tells me this story isn't over yet.
