Let's hear why you all think Sanford went missing...

[Drunken Irishman]

Don't skimp on the details. ;)

Me? I'll say he lost his marbles and went down to Atlanta for some type of treatment.

What about you, Bob?

[Uzybone]

1. Went to visit the other baby mama, John Edwards style

nothing wrong with that, but damn irresponsible.

[Drunken Irishman]

3. I like this one.

:D

[Captain Hilts]

25. Black or white?

[saltpoint]

2. God spoke to him and said, "Governor, I want you to drive your

car to the airport, park it there for several days, don't tell your wife what you're up to, and then walk buck naked down the Appalachian Trail."

[Drunken Irishman]

4. Think he might be on the down low?

[saltpoint]

16. To quote the Talking Heads, it's "puzzlin' evidence."

It's awfully hard to figure out the Republicans' social life these days. On one hand they purport to be unswerving family values folks while on the other rent hookers for diaperfests.

Doggone it, there's just a real big incongruity there.

We onlookers need a scorecard, several interpreters, a handful of therapists, and university anthropologists just to keep up.

[goclark]

27. That's funny ~ a scorecard etc. is certainly in order

Bet the Enquirer will have his picture on Thursday.

There he'll be Hiking up that trail.

[saltpoint]

35. Hi, goclark. It does seem odd to me that the guy would not tell

his wife where he was going. Unless, etc.

Those Republicans are an unpredictable bunch, aren't they!

[goclark]

36. Maybe his wife told him to "Get Out!"

:bounce:

[saltpoint]

38. : ) Very plausible. She likely has more on the ball than Sanford does.

[jwirr]

50. Somewhere in the DU archives there is a documentation of a lot of

the pug sex crimes, etc. from several years back.

[Colobo]

5. He has another family somewhere.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. He parked at the airport,

and flew to Amsterdam for a few days' entertainment involving pot and hookers.

[rcrush]

7. dead hooker, cocaine, bohemian grove, and geronimos skull

[Uzybone]

Geronimos skull....LOL

[Puzzler]

8. Coke binge

[MADem]

9. My first thought was "medical." What kind of medical, who knows?

He is a bit ... odd. Maybe he did need a medication adjustment. Maybe he's got cancer or needs a new organ of some type.

[Drunken Irishman]

13. oooh, good one!

Sanford flies down to Atlanta, kidnaps an unsuspecting girl, goes back to her place, drugs her, slices her open and steals her kidney!

Leaving her body in a bathtub filled with ice.

I definitely like yours the best, MADem.

[MADem]

31. Tee hee. I was thinking more of a Steve Jobs thing.

You know, how he slipped off to TN and got himself a new liver!

[dgibby]

40. A brain, perhaps? n/t

[MADem]

45. Why would he need one of those? He's gotten along 'jus' fahn' thus far! nt

[eleny]

10. I was full of snark last night but am stumped tonight

So I'm waiting for the truth to be revealed, you know it will. And it's going to be another one for the books.

[babylonsister]

11. He flew out of the airport; he's solving world peas!

Or needs a fix, has a honey on the side, misses his beloved mom, had to get treatment for poison sumac?

[tridim]

12. I keep thinking about Forrest Gump, when he just felt like runnin'

[countingbluecars]

14. Hunting with Cheney

or off getting a facelift.

[quakerboy]

57. Theres a difference?

[ccharles000]

15. He is snorting oxycodone off of rushes big toe

[sandnsea]

17. Temporary amnesia

yeah... that's the ticket.

[rcrush]

18. He got all high on Fluid Karma and then went through a time portal.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT!

[vaberella]

19. I have several. However, Deliverance's squeeling---came to mind, or..

he's gay, or a nudist, or visiting his Black kids, or on pcp.

[Drunken Irishman]

21. Or all of the above.

A gay nudist having an orgy with black kids while hopped up on PCP.

[vaberella]

43. Wow...if I never saw Sanford as dangerous...that takes the cake. n/t

[lindisfarne]

20. Free publicity. n/t

[Holly_Hobby]

22. He's pulling a Ted Haggard n/t

[Skittles]

28. I think it involves another man too

[Drunken Irishman]

29. Think they tried to pray the gay away?

[Skittles]

30. aw get with the program, DI

it's "teh gay"

[Drunken Irishman]

33. Ha! My bad.

:P

[MrMickeysMom]

23. I think those people who dress like animals meet each other yearly around this time...

Aren't they almost through in Atlanta finishing their sexual acts by now?

[PopSixSquish]

24. 5 Day Drunk

And perhaps it wasn't the first time given his wife's apparent lack of giving a damm...

[juno jones]

26. It's probably a sister Aimee Semple thing.

He'll emerge from the waves on the beach in a semi-dishevelled state and claim he was talking to God, or Reagan or something.


But what I'm holding out for is a good old-fashioned fugue state. That could be really fun.

[Political Tiger]

32. He be getting some booty on the side! n/t

[ellie]

34. Because he's a flaky repuke

I can only imagine what the truth is. It is stranger than fiction.

[izquierdista]

37. He heard he was going to be extradited to TX

We all know how bad Freepers spell. Could have gotten all upset because he didn't see that "t" .

[beac]

39. My theory is some kind of MAJOR scandal is about to come out and he's either gone into hiding, or,

if it's a REALLY big scandal, gone somewhere with no extradition treaty with the US.

[CK_John]

41. I think his other wife passed away and he went to the services. n/t

[jberryhill]

42. Visiting SC National Guard In Iraq

It's not unusual for governors to do that, and it is normal not to publish their travel plans when they do.

[nevergiveup]

44. bad case of gas and diarrhea

Sometimes you just need to get away from everyone.

On a side note: is there anyone here who honestly knows how to spell diarrhea without spell check? Damn, I wasn't even close.

[aaaaaa5a]

46. I think it could be a "John Edwards" situation. NT

[WCGreen]

47. Being a God fearing Christian//

The steely eyed chief executive of the Palmetto State was so upset, so beside himself at being forced to suffer the indignity of having $700 million dollars of tainted stimulus money that he had to go into the deepest, darkest place on the Appalachian Trail to yell out his curse lest young children and widow hear his salty language.

Out where only a bear could her, the gov gave a good Golly Gee Wilikers, can't a Governor Govern with out having the gosh darn federallies force their evil ways on us...

[Hippo_Tron]

48. Placating tea-baggers 24/7 is hard work, everybody needs a break to ummm...

Do a little tea-bagging of their own?

[chollybocker]

49. Elton & David are talking him down from their penthouse ledge?

[angee_is_mad]

51. Wanted to spend Father's Day with his BLACK GAY lover

and their adopted Mexican-Russian daughter who only speaks arabic for some reason:crazy:

[BlooInBloo]

52. Put me down for having another family on the side.

[JimGinPA]

53. He Had A "Procedure"...

He had his cranium removed from his sphincter.

[MiniMe]

54. Rehab

[TheKentuckian]

55. I think the coyote fucking theory thrown out on the Daily Show might have real merit

The Republiscum have had a tilt with every other form of fucked up behavior, it is time to notch it up.

[Onlooker]

56. Drug rehab in Minnesota

He was spotted in Minneapolis/St. Paul. That's where Hazelden, the drug and alcohol clinic that treated Glen Beck is located.

[quakerboy]

58. Not a Clue

The "evidence" thus far has no clear conclusion that I can see. And I suspect that us peons will never know the truth of this.

[rufus dog]

59. fulfilled his lifelong desire

to spend a long weekend posting on DU?

He spent the entire time defending Obama from longtime DUers.

I picture a naked little guy just off the trail with a laptop and satellite feed.

If it was porn he would have been forgiven by the repubs, but DU posting means he is done.

[zulchzulu]

60. He's a space alien

Sometimes they need to get the plans ready for the End Times... yunno...

:crazy:

[bklyncowgirl]

61. Nervous breakdown. They had to get him out of town fast.

It's kind of tame but that seems to be the most logical explanation.

[underpants]

62. He could no longer resist the allure of the "South of the Border" roadsigns

[whistler162]

63. His disappearance was to give you something to dwell on

and ponder about constantly for the next 3 or 4 days!

GEEEZZZ

[Berry Cool]

64. He finally decided to follow Jesus' advice literally.

"Sell everything that you have, give the money to the poor and follow me."

...Nah, not bloody likely. He's a Republican.

[Joe Bacon]

65. Was he looking for Lamont?

:evilgrin:

[NatBurner]

66. "hiking the appalachian trail" = code for hookers and crystal meth

[ksoze]

67. Are we sure this isn't him in the middle - it would sure explain a lot ?

The guy in the middle sure looks like Sanford to me....

[Jennicut]

68. Obvious mental breakdown. As someone with a psych degree

I declare it so! LOL

[Clear Blue Sky]

69. Plastic surgery? Any before/after photos?

[pipi_k]

70. Oh give the guy a break for Pete's sake!

He went out for a loaf of bread and got lost.




:7

[lunatica]

71. To play dueling banjos at Deliverance

[Odin2005]

72. In Argentina screwing teenage prostitutes.

[S_E_Fudd]

73. His Johnson pointed him in that direction...nt
