Elizabeth Colbert-Busch DIGS IN About Mark Sanford's AFFAIR During SC Debate




While answering a question about the sequestration cuts, Colbert-Busch said, "when we talk about fiscal spending and we talk about protecting the taxpayers, it doesn't mean you take that money we saved and leave the country for a personal purpose." The comment, referring to Sanford's euphemistic hike down the Appalachian Trail that actually turned out to be a trip to Argentina, drew a healthy mixture of cheers and boos from the crowd in attendance. When Sanford resisted the urge to jump in with a response, one of the moderators said, "She went there, Governor Sanford."

"I couldn't hear what she said," Sanford replied, drawing huge laughs from the audience thinking he may be deflecting the issue with a joke. When the laughter died down, he stuck with his story, saying, "Can you repeat it? I didn't hear it, I'm sorry."

YA RIGHT!
