Sanford v. Sanford
Well, hopefully it comes to no shock to the people of South Carolina, but Jenny Sanford has filed for divorce as of December 11, 2009 from her husband, Governor Mark Sanford.
In Mark Sanford’s press release regarding his wife’s filing for divorce, he stated that “….I never berated her as she did me on National Primetime News…” (the quote is not exact, but pretty close. See www.thestate.com) in which he was referring to her interview with Barbara Walters which aired the other night. Jenny Sanford was one of 2009′s Most Facinating People according to Walters.
My response to Governor Sanford’s quote about Jenny berating him in the media is this:
1. Jenny was interviewed by Barbara Walters and she told the truth about what happened. She did not try to cover anything up, she told the straightforth truth, and I am highly impressed by that. It is not only difficult to be cheated on, but worse to be cheated on when your husband is the Governor and went “hiking on the Appalachian Trail” which apparently goes all the way down to Buenos Aires, Argentina.
2. Barating Jenny would probably constitute examples such as:
(These are not exact quotes)
a. “She is my soul mate…..it is an unforbidden love…..a love story”, which the “Love – Gov” stated in different conferences with AP and The State Newspaper.
b. “I am currently trying to fall back in love with my wife”, when asked if reconciliation with Jenny was possible.
c. “I have crossed the line with other women during my marriage”, when asked if he had ever committed adultery before by the AP.
Know with just these 3 examples of the “foot in mouth” speaking Governor of South Carolina, I think Jenny had every right to do and say whatever she wanted about Mark Sanford. She didn’t though, she is a woman of class. I admire her for that.
When someone gets on the news and states that someone other than his wife is his soul mate, don’t you think that if you were his wife, that would pretty much trash every hope of reconciliation out of the window?
When someone says to the press that they are trying to fall back in love with their wife, don’t you think that may not be a good sign? Seriously, do you think that Jenny ever thought in her marriage before she found out about Maria from Argentina, that her husband was not still in love with her? That had to be a shock.
The comment made about “crossing the line with other women” during his marriage was going way overboard. He seriously hung himself on that one. Who in the world would take someone back who cannot be faithful?
I give major props to Jenny. Not only is she a sound, decent, respectable human being, she is the one who got Governor Sanford where he is today and he should be eternally grateful to his wife and kissing her ass! Her money was used to fuel his shotty campaigns. Her brain was used to fuel these campaigns. Jenny is a smart business woman. If anyone could do anything she can do it.
Now, unfortunately, Jenny has the tasks of raising 4 school aged boys mostly on her own. I would expect that would be a very difficult job in itself. Hopefully, Sanford will step up to the plate and actually pay child support, and be a father to those kids.
What about the four children by the way? Did he think about them while he was whoring around Argentina? No, I think not. School aged boys are going to take this particularly hard because not only was their dirty laundry aired for everyone, their father is an idiot and doesn’t know how to shut his mouth, and is the Governor of South Carolina. I am glad Jenny took the boys out of the spotlight of shame the Governor put his family in and took them to Sullivan’s Island to attend private school. That was the best thing she could have done for them.
Like I said in other posts….I really do feel for Jenny. I hate that this happened to someone who seems like such an upstanding person and role model for other women in this world. If you or anyone you are close to have been cheated on, it is not fun. It makes you question your worth, if you’re good enough and other random negative thoughts when really the brain should kick in and say that something is definetly wrong with the man she was involved with. He is the miserable, worthless, shameful person who is not good enough for her or his family.
So, I give major props to Jenny Sanford for sticking up for herself and her family and filing for divorce, because once a cheater, always a cheater! Jenny never betrayed Mark the way he did her. To go on national television because you (the Governor) had to explain why you went missing and wouldn’t answer your cell phone because you were screwing someone in Argentina who was your soulmate in a beautiful forbidden lovestory is more than enough betrayal. That is like slapping her in the face over and over.
The one in the end who will be alone is and will be Mark Sanford. His children have probably lost all respect for him because of the embarassment he has caused (which could be termed as child abuse because of the taxing toll it is going to take on these kids) and hurt their mother as well.
So what will Marky Mark the Love Gov do without South Carolina, Jenny and his boys? Hopefully go to Argentina to get dumped.
