GOP Rep To Tardy Sanford: ‘Where Have You Been? Hiking?’

Unaware that Wednesday's House vote had been moved up an hour earlier, Rep. Mark Sanford (R-SC) cut his workout short and raced to the chamber donning a sweat-soaked T-shirt, gym shorts and sneakers. When he arrived, the former South Carolina governor who infamously disappeared from his state in 2009 — forcing aides to claim he was hiking the Appalachian Trail when he was actually visiting his mistress in Argentina — was ribbed by a Republican colleague.

From Roll Call:

At any rate, as Sanford showed up sweaty in athletic casual gear for Wednesday’s votes, Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., yelled out, for all to hear far and wide, “Where have you been? Hiking?”

I had to post before it got scrubbed. You know. Gopers do not have sex scandals and all. /sarcasm off.

Any bets on how quickly Rep. Hunter gets talked to by C street?

1. Gotta love a sense of humor.

2. And he's a Congressman now.

Perhaps Democrats, as a voting bloc, are too prudish for our own good.
