Gov. Mark Sanford's spokesman has quit.
Joel Sawyer, the communications director who told the media that his boss was hiking the Appalachian Trail when Sanford was actually seeing his mistress in Argentina, announced his decision today.
I fully expect more top aides to leave in the upcoming weeks and months as they recognize that Sanford is now the nation's most impotent state executive.
Meanwhile Sanford is out of the state again this week on a trip with his wife.
