For all you jerks that take a mean sprited view of this affair , get a life and leave these folks alone to heal their hearts and minds.

Get a grip people. Nobody said any of the parties involved are bad people, just bad decisions. We live in a world that’s to high speed and the higher up, the higher speed you deal with. That’s the cost. I do feel for the children but they will be fine, as long as they know their parents and family love them. Guilt and martyrdom don’t help the children deal with this, but they do help Jenny. No matter what, the boys will love each parent unless they get the “divorce” treatment. A friend once told me regarding the courtroom that criminal court is bad people in their best behavior and family court is good people in their worst behavior. Lets hope thats not the case for this family.

Jenny Sanford is a class act. A little crazy, but who wouldn’t be tolerating Marky! I pray the media leaves her and her children in peace.

“Home work”, Statesman? You’re kidding me, right?

Spoken like a true chauvinist. If a man is treating his wife right, he gets all the “home work” he wants.

But oh, that’s right. It’s always the woman’s fault, isn’t it.

As admitted by the Gov, Mrs. Sanford has basically know of the affair for five months. Gave him the boot two weeks ago under trial separation. That said, doesn’t look to me like the Gov was doing anything to reconcile, by his actions – going to Buenos Aries. If he were interested in reconciling, you’d think he would do the opposite, cut off all contact with his mistress. No reason to feel sorry for this guy, he made his own bed.

My point is those families don’t get put in the public eye, when things like this happen. If Mr. Joe Smith, minimum wage worker, cheats on his wife does The State print his love e-mails, do late-night comics make jokes, is the story carried on CNN, FNC, even the BBC? No! That is why I have sympathy for Jenny Sanford and the boys. Also, I don’t think she was just covering for him, she might have not lied, or misled, she might have just meant he was writing down what he would say to the press about his affair. Even if that isn’t the case, I don’t blame her for wanting to postpone this media firestorm.

Those families also didn’t chose to put themselves in the public eye

hey, lifelongsc, Jenny and the boys do have my sympathy, unlike those going through similar things on minimum wage, the difference is those family’s problems are not international news stories. Those families do not have to deal with racy emails being made public for all to read, they do not have to hide from the TV out of fear of hearing their family being dragged through the mud.

Roll the gov in the courtroom? Jenny Sanford doesn’t need a dime from hubby, if that’s what you meant. There’s a real undercurrent of class envy / class resentment anytime stuff like this hits prominent, wealthy families, which we don’t need. It’s sad enough on its own.
