Didn't the Lt. Gov. get the memo?

I hate to be the bucket of cold water here, but  don't you think that when 
you sign on to be Governor of a state, you kinda  sign on to being reachable 
24/7 for the duration of your term?  Or at  the very least, designating 
that the Lt. Gov. is in charge while you take a  few days to hike?  I can 
understand that he didn't want to take his  security posse or the reporters who 
would have hounded him, but IMHO  when you take the oath of office for a job 
like that, you have to live  up to it--and that means letting a few people 
know where you are or at  least who's in charge while you're gone.


Ditto. I only read Felix's capsule of the story (didn't click the  link to 
the full story) and it appeared to be a "lost weekend' situation. I  can 
condone such if you are a celebrity who has had such attention thrust on  you 
over mere entertainment but when you are "The Man", "Honcho" or   "Alpha Dog" 
and you campaigned to get the job, you owe it to your wife, the  Lt. Gov., 
etc. to let them know that you are going to be unavailable but not  to be 
concerned. Sometimes the responsible thing to do is to be clear that for  X 
amount of time you aren't going to be the one who is responsible.




And I'm REALLY glad that I don't have  that kind of job. 



Ditto that too.
