Was Sanford Hiking Naked?

By GottaLaff

Two words: EEE. UUUU! Let's strip this down to the bare bones: Seems like, er, Mr. Happy was M.I.A. among the, um, bushes:

Palmetto Scoop: "The governor who dropped off the face of the Earth for five days was reportedly found Monday night by his staff hiking along the Appalachain Trail. That explanation of Mark Sanford's disappearance has puzzled many folks in South Carolina and across the country... Well, The Palmetto Scoop have discovered the answer to all the secrecy: the governor may have gone for a naked hike. No, really. An Associated Press article from last week heralded Sunday -- Father's Day -- as 'Naked Hiking Day' on the Appalachian Trail. Yes, Naked Hiking Day."

Really? No, really?? Who knows, but the visual is nauseating. I've heard airing our differences, but this is taking it an inch to far.

Sorry.

UPDATE, via Karen Tumulty on Twitter:

On CNN, GOP consultant Castellanos says of Sanford: "If he was camping, he's going to have to explain where he was setting his tent pole."
