South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford has been "missing" since Thursday, reports now confirm.Security officials report that Sanford hasn't been seen since he left the governor's mansion Thursday in a state-owned SUV, so, even though no one is coming out and saying it, he's also a car thief.
Sanford's wife, Jenny, told reporters she has no idea where he is, but that he "needed time away from their children to write something." Judging by Sanford's odd history with words that could take a long, long time (see video at the end of this post).
His office insists that they've been in touch with him and reports that he's "just fine," he just needed a little time to unwind after the stressful battle over whether the state would accept stimulus funds. When asked about the sudden disappearance and what that might mean for a potential run for president in 2012, an aide said, "This is exactly what you want in a leader. A little pressure and -- whooosh! -- he vanishes."
Meanwhile, with the Governor nowhere to be found, and no one running the state, residents of South Carolina report "no discernible difference."
