No lie: Rep. Joe Wilson really hiking

Those politicians from South Carolina sure do enjoy their “hikes,” but unlike disgraced Gov. Mark Sanford, Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., doesn’t lie.

Over the weekend, Wilson posted to Twitter: “Great way to begin new year hiking through Panthertown national forest with expert hiker Maryanna Lynch despite 6 inches snow, 17 degrees!”

And according to his press secretary, that’s just what he did.

The lawmaker has a mountain home in Sapphire, N.C., and the Lynches are his neighbors and good friends. Lynch is a former intern with the congressman; however, several members of his family joined him on the trip.
