[jezebel]

According to Faux news.

[Botany]

1. OH MY!

[Xipe Totec]

22. Chum in the water!

:rofl:

[demo dutch]

2. You can get cell service & receive txt msgs in Argentina, it's all a lie!

[sufrommich]

10. I'm sure he's going to claim he "inadvertently" turned off

his phone and just realized it yesterday.

[itsrobert]

17. It depends of what provider and service you have

Some companies from international roaming turned off. Some services run on different frequencies, etc. But you think a Governor would have the pull to get service and it would be required due to his job.

[CreekDog]

3. He's going to ask everyone to lower their voices

:hangover:

[Beetwasher]

4. This Oughta Be Entertaining

n/t

[Kahuna]

5. Thanks for the headsup.

:popcorn:

[Are_grits_groceries]

6. Keyboard Cat is ready!

[libnnc]

18. I'm crying.

:spray:

[JBoy]

7. Twenty bucks says he'll make a statement but take no questions.

[havocmom]

19. with or without wife by his side?

If with, check for new bling.

[Catherine Vincent]

8. Question from Gov. Palin: "How dare you take away some of my thunder?!"

[rurallib]

24. Maybe he'll say he thought he was going to Alaska

and ended up in Argentina?

[nomaco-10]

9. It'll be interesting to see if he takes questions....

At this point, he'd be crazy if he doesn't. Hope he does and hope he gives out some info that can be easily contradicted.

I like lots of butter on my popcorn. I also like the kind that's covered with white cheese. I like caramel corn, fiddle faddle, but poppy cock is better.

[RT Atlanta]

11. Location of news conf?

Will the news conf. be in Columbia, at the state house, gov's mansion, or somewhere else? I did a quick web search and havent found any details yet. Any input will be appreciated.

[jezebel]

12. Faux news didn't say. They did make sure to say though that he would clear it all up and put it

behind him.

[sufrommich]

14. "clear it all up and put it behind him"

There will be no questions.

[rurallib]

25. "put it behind him" might be what got him in trouble in the first place.

[Are_grits_groceries]

15. Pfffffft!

I'll bet he just makes it a lot worse. He's arrogant enough to think he can cover everything up and wish it away. The more he explains, the worse it will be.

[RT Atlanta]

16. Thanks...

trying to encourage a local Columbia business to show up at the presser and help make the event into a circus atmosphere (literally).

[redqueen]

23. Hahahaha... not a chance, bub!

With the whole 'why I have no idea why my staff said Appalachia' and then later 'well, I did say that I might do that' evolution of his story? Hah... yeah, right. Not a chance in hell.

[beac]

28. Hope someone asks him about the tent and camping stuff in his SUV at the airport.

Was that just to fool his wife or did he really make a "last minute" decision to go to Argentina and if so, WHY did he have his passport on him if he was only planning to go camping originally???

:popcorn:

[redqueen]

29. He's just making it harder on himself.

Why don't liars ever realize that?

Ah well, at least there's entertainment value. :)

[polmaven]

21. Maybe on the Appalachian Trail?

:shrug:

[kentuck]

13. He will blame his staff...

for trying to cover for him. But it was just a simple get-away. And that is all he will have to say on the matter for now. No questions, please.

[redqueen]

20. Hehehe... this oughtta be interesting!

"Lies. Lies. Lies. That's all we get from his staff. That's all we get from his people. That's all we get from him," said state Sen. Jake Knotts, R-West Columbia. "Why all the big cover-up?"

*rubs hands together gleefully*

[libnnc]

26. This will end up being the

BEST. LIFETIME. TEEVEE. MOVIE. EVAH.

:bounce: :popcorn: :bounce: :popcorn:

[get the red out]

27. Thats several hours away

What will his story be by then? Marital problems? Fun in the 52 degree sun of South America? He really just went for the food? "No, the drugs were prescribed." "No, the Governor doesn't know that girl/guy in the picture, where did you get that?"

This thing evolves every hour, I don't know how they will keep up?

:popcorn:

[Z_I_Peevey]

30. I predict he'll disappear again before 2 p.m.

This time it'll be Myanmar. He has a craving for rice noodles and the Wal-Mart is fresh out.

[Vinca]

31. Wonder if there are any vacation photos associated with the governor.

:rofl: :rofl:

[rvablue]

32. This is going to be good! The state and local reporters won't want to upstaged or outdone by

the national press corps descending on the state.

Get ready for some hard-hitting and probing questions.

I predict a replay of when he was interviewed by Leslie Blitzer and "hit a block" with a full minute of ems, ers, and uhs........

[marmar]

33. to say: "I Have Sinned Against You!"

:cry: :cry: :cry:
