The Governor of the State of South Carolina is missing and has been missing for at least four days. His staff has had no communication with him; his wife says that she doesn't know where he is but is not concerned about him; SLED (State Law Enforcement Division) who provides security for him has no idea where he is; the Lt. Governor doesn't know where he is; and I don't know where he is.
Of course, there is much speculation among the citizens of our state concerning the disappearance. Some wonder if he has suffered from some sort of mental breakdown after the State Supreme Court ruled against him in the matter of accepting stimulous funds from the federal government. Some wonder if there is a more salacious explanation. I must say that I am suspicious of this disappearing act and the timing. The Governor and his wife have four sons, and he picks Father's Day weekend to "get away from the children so he can write." Hmm. . .What could cause a father to miss spending a holiday with his family when it is within his power to do so.
His disappearance was reported by local media and even the national media earlier in the day; however, one local media outlet posted a short story about an hour and a half ago. Why was the Greenville newspaper so late in reporting? Do the powers that be at the newspaper think that a missing governor is of no interest to the citizens of the state? Or is this simply a newspaper not wanting to report anything that may cast the Governor in a bad light? Could it be explained as a Conservative cover-up? That makes me sound a little paranoid, doesn't it?
As a citizen of the State, I would like to know why the highest elected official in our State would disappear without letting his wife, his security detail, and the Lt. Governor know his location.
The Nosy Parker in me would like to know why he left on this particular holiday weekend, where he is, what he's doing, and who he's doing it with.
