This is the kind of story that makes me happy I live here in Wonderland, where you never know what kind of Mad Hatter is going to jump up and surprise you (and hatters were said to be made because of the mercury they used in making hats; in Urban's case, maybe it's all the baloney he's been making that clogged his snyapses).
Anyhow, this is so reminiscent of Sanford, when he told his staff he was hiking on the Appalachian Trail but was instead in South America with his mistress. In one of the most tactless comments of all time, he said she was his "soul mate" while his wife was looking on. And to show that SC is as weird as this place, he's just been elected to office again.
So we can speculate on where Urban really was. Maybe he went where the disappeared DA from Centre County went -- the DA, btw, has never been found.
Or maybe he met his soul mate -- one shudders at who that could be -- and like Vladamir Putin -- caressed her while landing a muskie in bare-chested virility.
I think whatever happened the LEAST likely thing was a fishing trip to Alaska, where he was only able to fart out a five-word message the whole time.
Ah, the truth shall set you free...but I'm not sure what it's gonna do for old Stevo.
Here's one of the dozens of comments on the story in today's sheets.
UNACCEPTABLE!!!
This man is an elected official. He is a member of County Council, the Chair of the Flood Protection Authority, a part of the Audit and Legislative Outreach Committees and a former County Commissioner (12 years). If he has no respect for his wife and family that's his business but to take off, disappear, in a manner that causes a missing persons report to be filed which then triggers an investigation and search at public expense, is reprehensible.
Will self serving egos ever be put out of our government? Reportedly, he was told of his absence being filed with the police yet he chose not to respond via voice or go to a local authority and check in. Would not a person with his background, his military training, his experience in emergency management know the proper protocol? Why would someone who runs for almost every open position in government not care enough about the people they serve to let them know they are safe, not abducted, out of harm's way?
We all know the answers. We just have to remember them the next time his name appears asking for a vote or questioning someone else's credibility.
