updated 1 hour, 26 minutes ago SULLIVANS ISLAND, S.C. - 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.

Never in my life have I seen a political party self-destruct like the GOP.
what a marooon (as Bugs Bunny would say)
Enough of this idiot, too. The next time he disappears, I hope he stays that way.
While spaying and neutering can reduce problems, culling is the only known method to be 100% effective. :-)
*political party self-destruct like the GOP.*
Sanford is not all of the GOP.
Matter of fact most of his supporters and 4th rate bloggers are third party folks.
“While spaying and neutering can reduce problems, culling is
the only known method to be 100% effective. :-)”
Mrs. Sanford needs to get Lorena Bobbit on speed dial!
This maybe of interest to you. It certainly helps with you assessment of Sanford’s condition.
Something tells me he’ll be in the doghouse for a while;)
Coburn and Inhofe are my Senators from Oklahoma and they obviously had nothing to do with this. Why blame the whole party for the few nitwits that cannot keep their pants zipped?
He is deluding himself if he thinks that, like David, he is going to continue to be a leader.
As we all know, this kind of behavior is not unique to the GOP so let’s quit tarring everyone with the same brush. The difference is, the Democrats generally make no pretense to holding marriage sacred and scoff at traditional values, so when it’s a Republican that strays, the condemnation is severe from within and without.
As it should be. Either we walk the talk - or we don’t.
Failure to do that is what will kill the GOP, or any other organization that professes their core values are important.
I can’t believe he asked his wife if he could go visit his lover. He is a low down snake.
No, no, no. The first response to a wayfaring husband should be a lawyer presenting him with a writ of divorce.
“Down Argentine Way”
You’ll find your life will begin
The very moment you’re in Argentina
If you’re romantic senor
Then you will surely adore Argentina
You’ll be as gay as can be
If you will learn to, si, si, like a Latin
For mister, soon as you learn
Then you will never return to Manhattan
When you hear, yo te amo
You’ll steal a kiss and then
If she should say, manana
It’s just to let you know
You’re gonna meet again
I’ll bet an old castanet that you will never forget Argentina
Where there are rumbas and tangos to tickle your spine
Moonlight and music and orchids and wine
You’ll want to stay down Argentina way
She should have told him...
You just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don’t need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don’t need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free
Ooo slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don’t need to be coy, Roy
Just listen to me
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don’t need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free

Heck, I told my ex-wife to give up her affair back in 1993. The fact that she did not was the best thing that ever happened to me.
She should have left it with her issued statement and declined further comment.
I can’t believe he asked her “repeatedly” if he could go boink the other woman... and she stayed married to him.
Sheesh. What a doormat.
