Sanford's Press Guy Leaving

By Paul Chesser on 8.4.09 @ 2:33PM

Of course you never know the whole story behind politicos leaving one camp for another, but the timing on this one makes the reasons seem obvious.

Of course you never know the whole story behind politicos leaving one camp for another, but the timing on this one makes the reason seem obvious. From an email I just received, Gov. Mark Sanford's spokeman Joel Sawyer announced:

Tomorrow will be my last day in the Governor's Office, as I am leaving to begin my own communications consulting firm. It's been a pleasure to work with and get to know so many of you, and I wanted to pass along my new contact information.

Don't know why I received the message as the only time I ever had contact with Sawyer was about Sanford's creation of a climate policy development commission. Never received any messaging from him before or since. I guess he wanted to let as many people as possible know he is LEA-VING!

Update 2:40 p.m.: Obviously I missed this announcement from a couple of weeks ago.

My first thought was... Damn, it takes that long to set up a consulting firm? If what Sanford did wasn't shameful enough to all the good people around him, but then he just wouldn't shut the hell up. You have this guy in charge of his communications... dude I would of bounced at the first sign of his filibustering on national TV.

P.S. Paul... you got the message cause he is a communications guy and he is playing the field, AKA COMMUNICATING!
