I happened to have my hostname a fqdn.
I changed the values of /etc/hosts around and ended up borking my sudo. I was 
mortified since it's a remote machine. 
After trying a few things suggested here and elsewhere, I ended up changing the 
A record for my hostname to 127.0.1.1 and that got sudo working again. 
Saved me a few hours of driving.
Cheers!
