Hey, Jesus went into the wilderness to get away. Not saying that the governor is Jesus, just that what he did -- if that's really what he did -- is not unprecedented.
I think this is a big political and media smear job. He stood up to politicians in his own state, a la Palin, and he stood up (God forbid) to Obama.
So of course he must be destroyed.
I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, and even admire him for being his own man. And if his wife didn't like it, that's between him and his wife.

So far this just seems odd--maybe we'll learn the rest of the story later. It's not his fault that none of the Appalachian Trail goes through South Carolina.
Bill Bryson has a recent book called A Walk in the Woods about hiking the Appalachian Trail which is a great read. Maybe that inspired the governor.
