Or “clearing your head.” Although sometimes that last word does sneak in there.
So the governor of South Carolina finally admitted to having an affair. His website for his 2012 presidential bid is still giving it the old college try:
Well, thanks to the invasive media, starting today he is back at work in Columbia. So where has he been hiding? I’ll let the government-run media fight over which trails he was at. But don’t believe for a second that his wife and other VIP’s didn’t know where he was. Quite simply, he left for a few days to clear his head.
While he was also “crying.” Because he was so torn up about cheating on his wife. Who has known for the last five months.
Mark Sanford says that marriage is between a man and a woman. Where have we heard this before? And he’s “against” gay marriage. But apparently he hasn’t come out against infidelity.
What I don’t get is how he could conduct an affair with a woman in Argentina, of all places. Because it seems like you might just have to plan a little bit if you wanted to fly 5,000 miles or so to do your crying or clear your head. Ahem.
Resist racism 
tell truth, i think this is the funniest most surreal story ever, first nobody knows where he is, then he’s hiking on the Appalacian trail, then he’s left his car at an airport, finally, he’s with a woman in Argentina, what an honest politician, lol, plus he’s against gay marriage? i was actually expecting to hear that he was on a secret mission with Palin to secede from the United State.lololol, this guy is such a hypocritter.
