What a week this has been! Not the ideal time to admit which Carolina I live in, perhaps, but my readers generally know anyhow. :P
The Columbia civic circus chorale starring our AWOL governor & featuring his beleagured & clueless staff (to whom he lied as to his whereabouts) has been quite the topic here in the near vicinity of Cola Town--and not only between state employees (among whom I count myself). Sanford's dereliction of his gubernatorial duties without dispensing same to his lieutenant governor is of vastly greater concern than the marital infidelity (which is & should remain a private matter, not be tried in the national press!). I firmly believe this whole charade of "hiking the Appalachian trail" will eventually lead to his downfall. (Time to rehearse saying, "Governor Bauer," much to the shock and dismay of many who believed Sanford would be the next GOP presidential candidate!)
In other news, yes, three prominent celebrities passed on this week--as did my younger son's first swimming coach. All of the above (particularly the latter around my family!) will be sorely missed, but I suspect that the governor's trials are going to be back to the forefront as the new week dawns.
Stay tuned for (as The Muppet Show used to describe 'Veterinarian's Hospital') "the continuing story of a quack who's gone to the dogs!"
