Maguire Hiding Out In Canada, Sanford’s Office Under Fire

The ongoing drama surrounding former S.C. Board of Education Chairwoman Kristin Maguire took an odd twist today when it was revealed that the home-schooling, sweater-knitting, social conservative mother of four was hiding out in Canada with another woman while her South Carolina sex scandal “blows” over.

Sorry, “blows” was probably a poor choice of words there.

Maguire, who was identified last week as erotic fiction writer “Bridget Keeney,” is staying in Canada with an unidentified woman, sources tell FITS.  Oddly enough, this woman is alleged to have had some connection to her “outing,” although details on the nature of their relationship are sketchy at best at the moment.  Attempts to reach Maguire by FITS and numerous members of the mainstream media over the past week proved unsuccessful.

While Maguire lays low, S.C. Gov. Mark Sanford’s office is facing withering criticism over its handling of the her case.

After initially claiming that it had not received any information related to Maguire’s alleged alter-ego, Sanford’s office later changed its tune and admitted that it was provided with “some information” about Maguire in late June.  The governor’s office later acknowledged that this material was similar to the incriminating information that FITS obtained in late August.

So, did Sanford’s office investigate the allegations against Maguire?  Or did it conspire with her in an effort to cover her tracks?

We have yet to receive any official comment from Sanford’s office, and the “unofficial” comments are all over the map, which isn’t surprising given Maguire’s close proximity to numerous current and former Sanford staffers, as well as to the governor himself.

At the very least, Sanford’s office failed to recognize that it was facing a “clear and present” political danger.

After all, it took FITS less than a half hour to confirm Keeney’s identity beyond a reasonable doubt – even as the web pages featuring her erotic writings and identifying comments were vanishing from the web (only to be saved as archived pages, though).

In an effort to get a straight answer, FITS has contacted Sanford’s office again today requesting any information that it received concerning the Maguire fiasco.  We’ll let you know what, if anything, they provide in response to this request …
