re: #517 Sharmuta

I wouldn’t care either, but lying to staff and the people of his state over a vacation? Not cool and not necessary if everything is on the up and up. But that’s the way it goes- the lie is usually worse than the transgression.

Definitely in this case. It’s only worse that they put out the word he was hiking on the Appalachian Trail. It’s always the coverup that kills, more than the initial transgression.

Lies. Lies. Lies. That’s all we get from his staff. That’s all we get from his people. That’s all we get from him,” said state Sen. Jake Knotts, R-West Columbia. “Why all the big cover-up?”

The Republican governor told the South Carolina newspaper he decided at the last minute to go to the South American country. The governor says he had considered hiking on the Appalachian Trail but wanted to do something “exotic.”

And so a new meme has entered the netroots for the foreseeable future.
‘I wanted to do something exotic.”
