"MYSTERY SOLVED: South Carolina Governor Taking a Hike" Plus, "Dewey Wins in Landslide!"
CNN has taken down its laughable story from Monday but if you Google "CNN Sanford solved" right now you can find at least the embarassing headline how the story began:
"MYSTERY SOLVED: South Carolina Governor Taking a Hike -- CNN.com
A mystery surrounding the whereabouts of South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford was apparently solved late Monday when a Sanford spokesman..."
If you click that story, though, they've demurely replaced it with their latest account of him returning to his office.
These people are supposed to be *journalists*!! You know, as in finding things out!
Accurately informing us, the unknowing! Why would they post that kind of pablum crap?
And yet the Washington Post was running the same indefensible "Solved" headline in its electronic editions Monday. It gave such a sense of closure, and banality, that probably relatively few readers bothered clicking to Chris Cillizza's story which upon a close read didn't indicate that any part of it was solved. And apparently this idiocy was regurgitated by so-called journalists across the USA. How unbelievably embarassing!
Josh was sure right when he said the South Carolina staff did great presswork getting all these buffoons to reprint their propaganda. Fabulous job! :(
When to Go to Argentina
The Gaucho Parade takes place in Salta on June 16, with music by folk artists and gauchos dressed in traditional red ponchos with black stripes, leather chaps, black boots, belts, and knives.
Maybe he likes Gaucho's?

Although we may find out more about what kind of peeps he rolls with in the next 24 hours.
It's interesting that he's continued lying. Ride along the coast. Planned to maybe (*with no food, water, hiking shoes, sleeping bag or tent?!*) go hiking the Appalachian Trail then at the last minute changed his mind and went to Argentina?
