Sanford’s Wife Bails

US News • Views: 2,201

Philandering creationist governor (and Family member) Mark Sanford has been served walking papers by his wife.

The First Marriage is ending.

First Lady Jenny Sanford issued a statement this morning saying she is filing for divorce from Gov. Mark Sanford.

In a two-page filing made this morning in Charleston County family court, Jenny Sanford asked for a divorce on grounds of adultery.

The governor’s Communications Director Benjamin Fox released this statement this morning from Gov. Sanford:

“While it is not the course I would have hoped for, or would choose, I want to take full responsibility for the moral failure that led us to this tragic point. Jenny is a great person, and has been a remarkable wife, mother and First Lady. She has been more than gracious these last six months and gone above and beyond in her patience and commitment to put the needs of others in front of her own. While our family structure may change, I know that we will both work earnestly to be the best mom and dad we can be to four of the finest boys on earth.

“I will join with her in asking the press to respect our shared desire for privacy as we quietly move forward. We respectively ask for your prayers.”

The news comes the same week as Gov. Sanford was censured but spared impeachment by a House subcommittee investigating allegations that Sanford misused campaign money, and state planes and other assets. Those allegations came to light after the governor secretly left the state for five days in June to visit his Argentine lover.

Good for her. Let the man be with his "soul mate."

Using that term to describe another woman while you're still married is a high point in douchebaggery.

And that's what's most important. I wish them the best of luck at that.

Makes a refreshing change from the 'I'm standing by my man' political wives. It's time a philandering pol actually paid the full price for his infidelity. Good for her.

I'd like to add that this also shows Jenny Sanford has more moral backbone than the entire committee that voted not to impeach her soon to be ex-husband.

He can't just break up if he's not happy. He's a politician, he needs to project the "perfect family" image. This is twice as true with Republicans, since they are always preaching about their high morals and such.

“I will join with her in asking the press to respect our shared desire for privacy as we quietly move forward. We respectively ask for your prayers.”

There's another American fetish I hate. Moving on. Moving forward. Getting on with your life.

Every self-righteous scumbag who gets caught and can't deny it immediately wants to move forward.

No taking the time to sit down and think about what you did. And never, ever question yourself. You are a Special Person, and God loves you so much he doesn't want you to think about the past and its present consequences.

Just move ahead, nothing to see back there, and don't forget to ask for prayers from the people who are praying that you'll just go away and stop embarrassing them.

I'm sure The Family is behind you all the way, Marky-Mark, and that must be a vast consolation.

It's good riddance to bad rubbish. And that's all I have to say about that.

I'm surprised that she waited as long as she did. Sanford is a piece of work and I fully expect that he be taken for all he's worth (which on a moral perspective isn't much).

Those kids still need their mom and dad to get along and do the best they can for them. Not all parents are able to get along with their ex, but others just don't want to. I hope the Sanford's can find a place where they can get along for the sake of these boys. It's what's best for the kids, not the adults.

29 Cato the Elder  Fri, Dec 11, 2009 9:58:49am

Jenny Sanford's refusal to do the political bimbo-wife thang and "stand by" her ridiculous "man" was one of the high points of this year.

Puh-leeze. The only reason to consider respecting their privacy is for the kids' sake. You're a public official, dingleberry. Your privacy is precisely at the bottom of our concerns.

That's the implication - and seeing how he tried to act as a family values kind of politician, the fact he was a two-timing adulterer tells you plenty about his family values. He had none.

A man who cheats on his wife if a "scuzbucket" whether he is a Republican, Democrat or otherwise. But being a member of the party that screams about "family values" and how they are so damn moral just adds a layer of hypocrisy to the whole thing.

I think that for some parents, the best thing they can do for their kids is say,

"I'm sorry I'm a hypocritical scumbag. I have no moral character at all, and I'm probably lying if I ever claim I've changed. Never lend me any money or take my advice. And remember: You are not me. My flaws are my own, not yours, and you don't inherit them. I'm sorry I failed you."

And then get the fuck out of their lives. Because they'll never change.

40 Sol Berdinowitz  Fri, Dec 11, 2009 10:05:10am

Yunno, I have come to realize that a lot of those folks in the Bible Belt are so adamant about their religion and about forcing it on everyone about them because they are so naturally pious and God-fearing.

Those descendants of the Presbyterian Scots-Irish immigrants are like that because below the surface they are the biggest whoremongers, gamblers, drinkers, fighters and general troublemakers in the world and they feel that they need a very strict moral corset in order to keep themselves and their families in line.

I agree except for that last part. If he were acknowledging his lack of moral character, but still loved his kids, they can see him sometimes, and still love him. I would hope they'd have some better role model in their lives, maybe grandfathers or uncles, or a decent stepfather, but it's ok to love a flawed Dad.

43 Randall Gross  Fri, Dec 11, 2009 10:07:47am

The way these things usually play out redemption through "The Family" is more important to his future career than redemption with his family. They are his window dressing for campaigns, and I"m glad that his wife did not stand with him.

44 Sharmuta  Fri, Dec 11, 2009 10:08:05am

re: #39 Obdicut

That's still their dad. And I think he deserves a chance to be a better father to them. Perhaps he will fail them again, but he's the only dad they have. Sometimes a crisis like this can help a man (or woman) be better. Maybe he won't rise to the occasion, maybe he will. But it's pretty harsh to suggest he abandon his children without giving him a chance to do better by them.

45 Gus  Fri, Dec 11, 2009 10:08:44am

You paint with a broad brush. Don't judge people you don't know and certainly don't make blanket accusations of large swaths of the populace that you cannot back up with hard facts. Sure there are hypocrites among Christians. Paul the apostle said as much in his writings. But there are hypocrites in other parts of society so let's talk in facts and not generalizations.

True. There's a wonderful series of essays about that in a collection called "The Invulnerable Child". Boy Named Sue principle.

I think that girl who just got robbed by her own father is going to do fine, if she can manage to graduate. She just needs to learn that love and trust aren't innately bound.

re: #63 Obdicut

It's a hard lesson in life to learn you can't trust your parents, and I don't wish it on any kid. But that's a much more direct bond of trust to break between a parent and child than it is when the trust is broken between mom and dad. Cheating on your spouse doesn't make you a bad parent, just a bad spouse. (In this case, he's also a bad governor.)

And you've gotta leave a path of redemption open, for them to make their way back. Well, you don't "gotta", but that's the charitable thing. When you discover that adults are flawed, that's the end of your childhood. When you forgive them for it, that's the end of your adolescence.

I feel for the woman, but what in the world took her so long? This was reportedly just the latest and most blatant of a string of extramarital affairs Sanford's had and I've always believed, if he does it once, he'll do it again... She should have taken the kids and walked before he dragged his sorry Christianist ass back to South Carolina...

re: #84 William of Orange

Good lord...

What do you have to do to get booted from the job?? Apparently this chap can go on forever abusing the law...

Up to this point, I'm not aware that he's broken any laws.

As to how long he can continue to do what he's doing: that'll probably end after the next election, unless someone does find something criminal to charge him with. And even then, it's no guarantee that he'd be removed from office.

Well, Jenny sure put the nutty gov in his place. And I believe she's behaved with high dignity during trying circumstances and as a counterpoint to her husband, managed to make him appear a bigger fool than he already is.

She deserves a spot on the Anti-Idiotarian award voting list, imo.

Aren't there any "real women" left? Well, Governor, one just walked right out your front door. Watch her walk.

I'm patiently waiting for Rush Limbaugh to bring up Gov. Sanford's behavior as prove that 'the white frame of mind is terrible'.

Good luck. When a white Christian hetrosexual screws up, it's an individual failing. When a POC/Muslim/gay etc. screws up, its an indictment of the values and perhaps the 'innate characteristics' of that entire group.

Kudos to her for having the guts to file on grounds of adultery, instead of irreconcilable differences. (Yes, I know there may be other legal reasons, I just like to see weasels held accountable.)

And what does his Argentinian lover have to say about all this?

Well, by his beloved biblical standards, he is now an adulterer. From now on, whenever he talks the talk about Christianity, anyone in their right mind should rebuke him as the hypocrite he is.
