[...] forget that Sanford is the same guy who told his fiancee and, later, wife (and ex-wife), Jenny, that he wanted the part about being faithful… (and the moronette wife agreed!). Hey, he’ll fight right in with Sean Vannity, toe-sucker [...]

Interesting how you were able to turn this into a reflection on Obama’s foreign policy. The only caveat being we are not MARRIED to Iran nor any other muslim nation for that matter…except for our dependence on their oil, and OUR own decision to involve ourselves militarily in the region in removing Sadaam and going after the Taliban and al-quada’s of the world.

I think a better analogy would be…the government (and economy) is more like Mark Sanford…addicted to the sex and crack cocaine of oil that our lover provides us, unable to get away or leave, wrapped up emotionally (militarily)…even when she threatens our “domestic” tranquility.

And WE (the trusting and naive public)are more like Jenny…thinking things will change, hoping for the best, but knowing things are doomed if they stay the same…

…and getting our chnace to “divorce” the bastard in 2012!

My mother always told me, “If a man tells you you’re too good for him, BELIEVE him! He knows what he’s talking about!” I would certainly add “If a man won’t allow the “forsaking all others” clause in the marriage ceremony, RUN!!! Sounds like Jenny Sanford is just another politically ambitious Hillary Clinton type – she didn’t think she could make it politically on her own, so she married the political career. It was only when he husband completely jumped the shark that she was publicly humiliated enough to throw in the towel. Makes me curious to see how much more Hillary will take before old Bill is kicked to the curb…

And the other thing is a man who makes a lot of money but is dishonest and has other serious moral failings this may catch up to him at some point. What can you do. Everything is upside down.

I don’t feel any compassion for Ms. Sanford. I’m tired of women who marry because of political power and/or money when clearly the man has issues regarding morality and honesty. Especially when there are plenty of decent men available who maybe make a little less money or have a little less influence but even so if they are decent and work hard and are healthy they are more deserved of a woman then these men that just have money and power but no morals. In fact for her to complain about her children they are his children as well and if she knew this up front she should have asked herself is this the kind of man and would want my children to have as a father.

The whole no fault divorce concept is of communist origin. These women marry men who they know have moral failings (but have a lot of money and influence) and then they want out for these moral failings and want their money even though they knew this in the first place and agreed to getting married and signing the marriage contract. Meanwhile many decent men have a tough time getting married and could use a woman in their life and studies show married men do usually earn more then single men as they have more motivation. So the women are rewarding bad men with children and they should recognize their contribution to this problem and rewarding bad men.

The problem I have with Mr. Sanford is using government money for his trips to his mistress. I think Jenny likely knew about this but only bailed because she knew this was the end of his political power and influence.

It is pretty unrealistic to think that the Argentina gal was his first affair. Also, the state legislature had been looking into other trips Governor Sanford had taken before they gave up on trying to impeach him. Finally, Jenny Sanford was not a child when she got married.

I am sure the the emotions shown by Jenny were genuine, but not for quite the reasons assumed.

I’m a little bit more sympathetic to Mrs. Sanford. Of course agreeing to open marriage at its inception shows that neither of these people was very serious about the concept of the family or the consequences on their kids. There is also clearly an element of opportunism in the fact that she is publicizing this aspect of her marriage to Ms. Walters who, herself has not hesitated to attack, both professionally, and on a personal basis, the sanctity of marriage.

Nevertheless, I do think her anger and discomfort when her husband’s scandal became public were genuine. So far as I know, she was faithful to her husband, and I suspect that her attitude towards open marriage may have changed in the process of having four children.

There is clearly some ambivalence; after all, she did proclaim to BaWa that her marriage vows were based on open marriage, but I still think that her initial reactions were not faked.

According to Debbie, Jenny was told point blank from the outset by Mark that he was not going to be faithful. So, her wronged woman pose was simply an act. She agreed to be a breeder and babysitter(assuming no nannies), since it would be hard to call what they had a real marriage. Only Mr. Sanford’s dropping out of sight like a teen and political shipwreck caused Jenny to arrange for her departure.

Worry, a lot of women will put up with less than faithful men so long as they’re successful. Its when they crash and burn that’s when they leave them. They can’t say they just found out about their husband’s affairs and strike a pose of innocence after living with it for years. If that’s not being a classic enabler, then I don’t know why they tolerate infidelity in the first place.
