In the saga of Governor Mark Sanford’s unexpected incommunicado status, Karol at Alarming News picked up on Sanford’s wife’s apparent nonchalance. Wrote Karol:

His wife is not worried because, get this, “the governor said he needed time away from their children to write something.” Shaaaaaaaaaady.

I don’t know. I’d consider it shady if Elliott Spitzer were missing at the same time and there was a chance the two of them were out together. But as a professional tethered to work by technology nearly 24/7, I sure can understand the need to get away from it all, even if that means ditching your security detail (not that I have one). Perhaps getting out unexpectedly was the only way Sanford could do it.
