The timing is suspicious as well. Right when zero’s numbers are sinking and his support for socialized healthcare and capnsteal are on the rocks. If this paper had this info for this long someone was directing them to hold the information for an ‘opportune’ moment.

Uh, if they knew in December, were they cooperating with the governor in suppressing them? Were they waiting for orders from Rahm as to the timing of their release? Were they waiting for the inevitable slip-up so they could pounce?

This is ridiculous — Sanford is the one who bought the plane ticket to Argentina last weekend, not Rahm or SC's newspapers. Clearly the newsmen were working more leads and trying to confirm more pieces of the story before going public; Sanford's disappearance (and public admission of guilt) set the timing of this event. Unless of course Obama bought him those tickets.

Kudos to the SC newspapermen for showing diligence & discipline on the story by not publishing unverified rumor; this is what sets good papers apart from tabloids and blogs. Forwarded emails can be easily fabricated, after all.

Finally, as other people have mentioned, it was Sanford's Republican rivals who started making all the public noise on this story in SC over the weekend — one assumes they'd heard rumors on what was brewing, too.

They have had the ‘story’ since December(at least that is what they are saying). That is plenty of time to ‘track down leads’. I have seen terror investigations wrap up sooner than that...lol. You feel free to trust our corrupt media and thug presidency..I don’t.
