Governor Mark Sanford wife stated the governor wanted to get away and do some writing. Others said the governor went hiking. Instead, without telling anyone including his wife, went to Argentina, according to JIM DAVENPORT, AP. article Report: SC gov was in Argentina, not hiking trail
Yet, that's the governor story, but how long will he stick to it?
Did South Carolina citizen pay for the get away?
The story probably will bring in some more characters as the story unfolds. More than likely the governor will have lots of time on his hands to write. That is, if that is what he was doing.
Any man or woman's private life is just that. However, being a politician, and a governor at that, the citizens of South Carolina must know on a daily basis who is in control and where that someone can be located. I am concerned, not about what the private life of the governor, or what his affairs may reveal, I am only concerned that for 7 or 8 days their executive was absent without leave. This is neither responsible of a teenager or the executive of a state government.
ReplyDeletewoman he was having an affair.
ReplyDeleteIt is obvious that the affair had an impact on his governing the state. One he did not diclose that he was leaving the state. Two he did not inform his staff of is whereabout. Three the state was without a governor, and no one knew for how long.
So, the private matter of a public servant does matter. I take your comment to really mean, when a man cheats on his wife, and the wife does not know about it or she does not make a fuss aboout it, the public should not have an opinion about their marital arrangement.
But this was not the case.
