In fact, I love it even more that Gov. Sanford ditched his painfully neurotic staff and bolted for Buenos Aires to decompress.
I mean, how perfectly disrespectful it is towards the current obsession with process and personality as opposed to actual policy to say, “You know what, screw you guys, I’m heading to Argentina for a big-ass steak.”
The guy went out of the country for several days, totally dropped off the grid and nothing bad happened. You know what? At any given time, probably 45 of the 50 governors could do the exact same thing without the world coming to an end. Because the truth of the matter is, ladies and gentlemen, you are on your own. Whether the governor in his chair behind his desk, or taking tango lessons along the Plaza de Mayo, you are on are your own.
No wonder the Left and the squishy Right are going ape over Sanford’s little excursion. Can’t let that notion stand.
Besides, everyone in North Carolina needs to ask themselves just how in-touch Mike Easley was during his taxpayer paid jaunt across Europe.
