Governor of South Carolina’s Wife: “I Told Him Not to See That Woman”

Jenny Sanford

South Carolina’s Governor Mark Sanford has big balls. Not only did he have an affair with another woman, he actually had the nerve to ask his wife if he could go and see her after the affair was revealed. WTF?

South Carolina first lady Jenny Sanford sat in her oceanfront living room Friday, recalling how her husband repeatedly asked permission to visit his lover in the months after she discovered his affair.
“I said absolutely not. It’s one thing to forgive adultery; it’s another thing to condone it,” Jenny Sanford told The Associated Press during a 20-minute interview at the coastal home where she sought refuge with their four sons. They were her first extended comments on the affair.

She said that when her husband, Gov. Mark Sanford, inexplicably disappeared last week, she hoped he was hiking on the Appalachian Trail, as his staff told those who inquired about his absence. That he had dared to go to Argentina to see the other woman left her stunned.

“He was told in no uncertain terms not to see her,” she said in a strong, steady voice. “I was hoping he was on the Appalachian Trail. But I was not worried about his safety. I was hoping he was doing some real soul searching somewhere and devastated to find out it was Argentina. It’s tragic.”

The Sanfords had separated about two weeks ago. She said her husband told the family that he wanted some time away to work on writing a book and clear his head. The first lady said, “I had every hope he was not going to see her.”

“You would think that a father who didn’t have contact with his children, if he wanted those children, he would toe the line a little bit,” she said.

This kind of bullsh*t is why women take men to the cleaners. She has your kids, washes your dirty draws and puts up with your mess and you want her to accept your affair? SMH

  • GEE

    Damn shame. Its my understanding that the wife is very rich and she’s running HIS career.

    P**** is a powerful thang.

  • Que

    Actually, their maid washed his dirty draws.

  • Angee

    He let his little head do the thinking for him.

  • hhmmm

    His wife has been the only woman to act with common sense.

    I mean Eliot Spitzer’s wife was standing by him like an idiot.

    @ BYNI!

    “Considering what is at stake, I just don’t understand why these guys in high profile positions don’t understand that they must take extreme precautions if they are going to creep.”

    cuz the headlines mean more than to harbour the guilt…….

  • DJ’s MOM

    Before I was married, I too would be judgmental about people that committed adultery. Then, I got married…

  • lol

    @ DJ’s Mom

    Sounds like you stopped given the good good to DJs dad and he strayed or was it you who stepped out? Did your love life fizzle like most married folK? No need to answer if its too personal.

    @DJ’s MOM:

    Well, maybe you should get a divorce then so your spouse wont believe that you are a honest, and loyal person.

    This way you can save that hurt and pain you’d cause, as well as limit the amount of STD’s you may catch by sleeping with both parties.

    The creep that you’re creeping on your spouse with is creeping also.

  • lol

    @ Black,

    he has four sons so all of them are not going to handle it the exactly the same way but the determining factor as to whether they will recognize that what their father did was wrong or just accept is as something natural is whether or not their mother stays. If she does, they will more than likely believe that this ok, or maybe not ok but not so bad cuz the family won’t break up because of it.

    @lol:

    Yeah, those one time posters you have nothing to worry about. They needed to get something off their feeble little minds and that was the best they could come up with. :)

    @Non-Black-Women-Rule:

    Your jokes are only for you.

  • DJ’s MOM

    @ lol. I rather not go into details but it sounds as though you know what’s up.

  • jandsmama

    @hhmmm
    I agree. I have a lot of respect for how Mrs. Sanford is handling everything.

  • DJ’s MOM

    @lol – I got to go. LOL!

  • sweetga

NOW HOW MUCH DO YOU WANT TO BET THAT AT LEAST ONE OF THOSE KIDS IS GONNA BE AFFECTED NEGATIVELY!!!IDIOT IDIOT IDIOT. BUT THESE POLITICIANS ALWAYS DOIN STUFF LIKE THIS AND HE JUST GOT CAUGHT> HE IS A DAMN IDIOT APOLOGIZING TO EVERYBODY. AND I HOPE SHE WAS WORTH IT WITH YOU SORRY AZZ!!!!

    I have to agree with you. If you know you like a lot of variety, just don’t get married. Just stay single so you can have your lay of the land. Don’t get married and have four children with someone when you knew it wasn’t the right lifestyle for you…because 5 people’s lives have now been irrevocably changed because you could not be honest about what you really wanted. Something tells me this is not the first time he’s cheated…just the first time he’s gotten caught.

  • Slide Like A Fresh Pair of Gators

    Yep, all those boys in the pic are his sons. His wife ran all his Senate and gubernatorial campaigns, and still had time to have 4 kids for him. And then he takes off to see his sidepiece on Father’s Day weekend?!?

    @Butterscotch

    She held him down like how a real wife/woman should and this is how he pays her back… SMH

    He flew to another continent for some pu$$y = SAD :-(

    Another sad story on the Power of Pu$$y, showing how it can cause a man to disregard all things that he knows to be right and not even consider or CARE about the consequences of his actions…

  • Rock Witchu

    LOL, that’s a republican for you….

  • always knew

    *interesting- excuse the typo

  • Butterscotch

    @Slide Like A Fresh Pair of Gators

    I agree. And the crazy thing is, one of two things will probably happen if he leaves his wife for good:

    1) the mistress will no longer be excited by having a covert “boyfriend” that is married to someone else, prompting her to move on to her next mark; OR
    2) he will get bored with the sidepiece, and do the same thing to her that he did to his wife

    I tell you, money and power can not replace common sense and decency.

  • DR.FUNK

    Jenny Sanford is tough & smart.(and rich) There are going to be scars all the way around from her husbands idiocy…but I give her props for handling this as well as it can be handled.

  • BKLYNZ OWN

    HAAAAA! THATS G ….HIS WIFEY KNEW ABOUT IT.

  • I’m Just ME

    @ LOL

    I agree with you whole heartedly. To all the men who think your D*ck doesn’t get old and tired. WAKE UP!! D*ck gets just as tired and played as p*ssy. What helps is if people try to spice it up and mix it up a little.

    As for him creeping on Father’s Day weekend. That is very SAD and his reputation is done, all that right wing moral crap is done. He is just like more than 50% of the other people in high power in this country. I hope he realizes it wasn’t worth it as his world crumbles around him.

    I agree whole-heartedly.

    The lesson here is don’t wear drawers.

  • Magz
