What is it with these wives who have the money and the wandering husbands? At least Elizabeth Edwards had the excuse of poor health for hanging on to John. Jenny doesn't even have that, and it isn't helping any of the children to live in homes that are that messed up. It is much better these days to live in a divorced home than one where the parents are together for "the sake of the kids". Kids know more than that, they are on-line too.

I find it incredible that some of her supporters insist that Palin is not a quitter. If it looks, talks, and acts like a duck, it is not a swan.

Palin was elected Governor of Alaska during a period of prosperity due to the overinflated prices on crude oil, and she rode the coattails of good fortune as her constituency profited while the lower 48 suffered at the gas pump.

Well, times have changed, oil prices (and hence state revenues) are down, and the same constituency and legislature that had applauded her folksy style have been scrutinizing her management style more carefully.

Bottom line, when the going gets tough, Sarah throws in the towel.

This admirable woman seems to be williing to take the loser back in for the sake of those kids and because of the sacrement of marriage.

A damned noble act. Three cheers for the poor woman. She ought and go back to investment banking at which she excelled in one of the most prestegious invesntment banks. And let him run for dog catcher.

Jenny Sanford is a friggin control freak martyr i.e. "she's willing to save her marriage." NO. What it really is and in the gise of righteous indignation IS she's got her bad bad boy little boy husband and she's going to teach him a control your friggin arse lesson so he will be a good little boy (of course, until the next and next and next time). That's her mode of operation and she's soon to lose the respect of everyone with her ongoing "I've got you by the bbbbballs you ssssson-of-a-bbbbbbitch". Read Games People Play by Bach (wrote Pairing). The "IGYBTBYSOB " is one of the games mentioned in the book which, by the way was the first book of it's type about the games of life written in the 50's and banned 'til the 60's. Jenny's just teaching her son's how to get away with everything just like dear ole dad while she plays this Ginger Roger/Fred Astaire move.

Okay Mrs. Sanford it's time for you and your children to move on. Gov. Sanford has made it UNMISTAKABLY clear to the world that he is NOT in love with you! PERIOD! All of this I'll take him back and I'm willig to forgive if he does this or that is total B/S! Please just move on with your life and allow him to have his before thid "test run" of love turns in to hate! If you love him and if he "loves" you then let him go! I don't understand why you or women in general continue to hold on to these good-for-nothing HO-DOGS hoping he'd change so you can reap the benefit(s). I guess Jenny and Beyonce' have somen in common..."Ring the alarm I been doing this to long and I be damned if I see another B-I-T-C-H on yo' arm!"

thanks a bunch jenny

You are right, 'something stinks.' Your knowledge of reality. I deal with your type every day in this red state. You are not telling me any FOX News spin that I have not heard before.

Will both of the Sanfords please shut up! Get therapists and talk in private. Note: don't use the internet for your diaries.

I like Jenny Sanford's Desmond Tutu quote. Okay. Forgive him so that he can move on but if Jenny takes Mark back, she deserves him. Enough already!

He's just not that into you!

takes the day off

and Sara Palin resigns as gov.

whole "offense before God" bullshit?

If "God" created our bodies then he created nicely fitting parts that are forever trying to slip together. And he created our ability to fall in love.

But "he" certainly did not write any books on how to avoid using these without some man-made blessing.

I'm agnostic but I do believe in monogamy - because that's what I want for myself and what I would give in my relationship. But I don't plan to enforce it for anyone else, and honestly, leave all the "God" crap out of it.

The man cheated on you Jenny. He didn't set out to cheat on you, he didn't set out to "offend God". He set out to befriend a woman (to whom he was obviously attracted) and after some correspondence and contact, he fell in love with her. He offended YOU, not God. God wanted us to love one another, not "stay together because of some dumbshit man-made rules that make you an abomination unless you follow them to the letter."

At the very least this whole thing is a lesson in the fact that we humans are flawed and beautiful and complicated creatures. We sometimes fall in love outside our marriages. Some of us are born to love people of the same sex. Teenagers are hopped up on hormones that make them want to fuck one another, no matter what we preach to them. We are able to love each other fiercely and still hurt one another.

We can even love two people at the same time, or love one as a "soul mate" and the other deeply as a long-time partner.

She can forgive him or not, and it's none of our business. Two flawed and beautiful creatures trying to make sense of their lives. If would be easier for them if some strangling "obey 'god' or you've failed" rules weren't in the way. Why not set out to discover exactly how to work through the mess and the pain, just the two of you, no phony rules?
