SC governor calls travel probe selective outrage
August 28, 2009

GREENVILLE, S.C. — South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford said Thursday that a state senator shouldn't single him out by investigating his travels after other governors bought pricey flights for years.

Sanford once blasted state officials for taking expensive flights as he built an image for himself as a frugal conservative. But he used his predecessors' travel habits to defend himself in a letter to the lawmaker, which points out hundreds of expensive airline tickets bought under three previous administrations.

Sanford's travels and use of state aircraft have come under greater scrutiny after he disappeared for five days in June and returned to confess an affair with an Argentine woman.

"There's something wrong with selective outrage," Sanford told reporters at a news conference Thursday. "Let's look at all the facts. Let's lay them out. That will be a good thing. But let's not have what we have right now, which are a whole host of different agendas being served."

“At a podium placed across the street from Sen. David Thomas' law office, Sanford said the lawmaker's political ambitions were fueling a probe by the budget subcommittee that Thomas chairs. Thomas, R-Fountain Inn, is running for the U.S. House.
