Contest! Name the next politician to go 'hiking the Appalachian Trail'



Mark Sanford

You have to hand it to South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, who has publicly confessed to infidelity. He's added a new euphemism for "cheating" to the American lexicon:

"Oh -- he (or she) has been hiking the Appalachian Trail!"

Wink. Nudge. Big smirk. I'd bet Sanford wishes he'd never invented that sorry excuse as a cover for his adultery in Argentina.

The question on my mind is, who's next going to "take a hike on the AT"?

Which means it's contest time!

...


and here are the rules:

You must enter this contest as a comment on this blog. Rules are below the jump. (Click on Read more)

Rules:

You must enter as a comment on this blog, and you must use a real email address (which nobody except me will see) so that I can contact you if you win. You can enter more than once but no more than three times.
Limit your entries to national office-holders (President, Vice-President, House of Representatives, Senate, cabinet secretaries, Supreme Court justices), governors, mayors of major cities (like Detroit) and, because they have played this game so frequently in the past, nationally known clergy, like Jim Bakker, Jimmy Swaggart, or Ted Haggard.
The person in question must make a public confession to cheating. (For the purposes of this contest, "a massage" counts as cheating. So also does a confession of unspecified "sin" and/or a public resignation from their position).
Give me their name, their office, the state and/or city they hail from and their political affiliation, if that is obvious (in the case of a preacher it may not be).
