Gov Sanford and Naked Hiking Day
Wow, suddenly we have an interesting Republican and he's in a different state. If this guy really did ditch work to go hiking during the solstice on Naked Hiking Day, then he might be just what the party of stuck up ***holes needs to lighten up.

Well, it was Father's Day, so as a father he could do what he wanted.
It's not like he was Eliot Spitzer and spent the night before Valentine's Day with a hooker.

Welllll..... either
(a) he was hiking, nude. Cool, but a tad unRepublican. (b) he was hiking, clad, ignorant of the custom &/or having a perv. (c) he was not hiking, but ........ [insert dubious activity here] .... instead. If he was hiking nude on midsummer's day ... there should be a nice even all-over tan to prove it. Not that I am volunteering to check, mind you.

If he wants to go hiking, that's fine. Great, even. Hiking is an activity more people should do so they gain an appreciation for the little bit of nature left in the country.
But if you are in an important position, you should always be reachable. A governor has responsibilities and shouldn't be going AWOL for several days on end. His staff should be able to reach him in an emergency at all times. |

Uh and what about his wife and/or children?
This is really odd behavior. Going ion a hike of this magnitude requires some planning and preparation, not to mention all the equipment necessary to spend days out there. Oh and did he go alone? Has he done this type of hiking before? Where exactly did he go? Where is all his stuff from the hike? There are way too many questions that remain unanswered.

I think the public has no right to tell the governor what he should do with his family. The public does have the right to demand that he be accessible in case there's an emergency. He could carry a cell phone that only a trusted aide can call. He'd still get some R&R and the public would have a governor available.

I was not implying that we did. But if I was his family, I certainly would.
Seriously, you wouldn't be a little upset if your wife disappeared for 4-5 days? That isn't normal.

Those of us who don't live in Mayberry shouldn't be so concerned about the Gov's whereabouts. Might just be out fishin' with Andy Barney and Floyd.
