Jenny Sanford Wanted You To See This
S.C. First Lady Jenny Sanford wanted the public to see her walking out of the S.C. Governor’s Mansion and moving her family back to Sullivans Island, S.C. last Friday, sources close to the situation tell FITS.
Originally, the First Lady was scheduled to have her belongings and the belongings of her children moved out of the S.C. Governor’s Mansion in late July – while the family was still vacationing in Europe.
Obviously, such a move would have gone virtually unnoticed … in other words a far cry from the media spectacle that ensued last Friday after FITS first reported that the First Lady was moving herself and her family out of the mansion and enrolling her sons in Charleston-area schools this fall.
And although we were first to report on these developments, FITS obviously wasn’t the only media outlet that was tipped off about Mrs. Sanford’s impending departure …
Six weeks ago, Gov. Mark Sanford publicly admitted to having an affair with his Argentine lover, Maria Belen Chapur. He has since admitted to “crossing lines” with other women, and while his wife has refused to stand by him publicly, she did intervene behind the scenes at a critical point in the crisis to keep him in the Governor’s Office.
Why would she save his political hide then and bail on him now?
According to our sources, the answer is simple: Sanford refuses to stop corresponding with his Argentine lover.
Sources close to the couple tell FITS that as soon as Sanford’s job was deemed “safe,” he began communicating with Chapur again almost immediately.
In fact, Sanford was allegedly caught communicating with Chapur shortly after returning from a five-day trip to Texas with the First Lady in mid-July, a trip that was specifically arranged to facilitate a reconciliation in the Sanfords’ marriage. You’ll also recall that prior to the governor leaving on his ill-fated trip to Argentina in June, Mrs. Sanford also told him to stop seeing Chapur – a warning that clearly went unheeded.
Like the rest of South Carolina, Mrs. Sanford found out about her husband’s trip to Argentina through the news media.
The latest Chapur-related “flare-up” between the governor and First Lady occured shortly after the couple returned to Columbia on July 20 from their Texas trip. That’s when sources say it became abundantly clear that the governor was not serious about reconciling his marriage – but was very serious about rekindling his affair with Chapur.
“He got caught contacting (Chapur) again,” a source inside the Governor’s Mansion told FITS, adding that “the screaming matches (between the Sanfords) were intense” after the governor reportedly admitted as much to the First Lady.
That’s when Mrs. Sanford reportedly decided to turn what would have been a quiet departure from the Governor’s Mansion into a “public humiliation” of her philandering husband.
“She wanted you to see this,” one source said.
Mrs. Sanford did agree to participate in the previously-scheduled European vacation – which concluded last week – out of respect for her children.
Stay tuned for additional details …

This guy is an even bigger tool that John Edwards. He waits for his wife to save his job and then renews contact again?

The Sanfords should be able to work out their marital differences privately. Sanford should resign so he can do this, if he really is seeking to mend his marriage.
What burns my ass is how the media including that self-appointed taxpayer watchdog FITSNews, is not consistently calling for investigations into what $$$ the Governor used to fund his love affair.
Am I the only one who thinks that the Governor’s people owe Catherine Ceips and Wally Scarborough public apologies?
I mean, what tax dollars funded their trysts?

This Mark Sanford guy is a a-s-s-h-o-l-e!!
Jenny if you really are smart enough as people think you are. get this guy out to the cleaners and make sure you completely empty his pocket not to enjoy trysts with his wilted broad.
We support you Jenny and your boys!!

Pandachris, wake up…its clear he has no intention of getting back with his family. He is not going to resign.
What gets me is how even the other woman is putting up with it. Any woman should be appalled over his treatment of his wife and children, other or not.

Pandachris, you are obviously the last dumba$$ on the planet who believes the garbage that has been spewing from Mark’s mouth for the last few weeks. Snap out of it. He never broke up with the girlfriend, has no intention of giving up the love of his life, and intends to stay on as governor. When you grow up you’ll learn that not everyone’s happy ending includes marriage and babies and picket fences. That’s just the crap you say when you want to get elected. Some happy endings involve world travel, a significant other who is also your soulmate, time for reflection, heavy machinery, salads under palm trees, tan lines…..

He’d been sending her messages through the media since he got back – no big surprise here

NMRS will be thrilled. Looks like it’s going to be Gov. D. after next election.

Just another scandal brought to you by the head cheerleader for the voucher scam. Frankly, our Funding Editor does not want to see Mr. Sanfraud in a cheerleader outfit. But, what frauds. Vouchers and Sanfraud.

Has no one else on the planet ever fallen in love except these two?

“Has no one else on the planet ever fallen in love except these two?”
– Stephanie Buckle
Stephanie, don’t you know that this is the Great Love of the 21st Century? No two souls have ever connected like the souls of Mark and Maria! It’s destiny… fate… a force bigger than the both of them… beyond their control. This love cannot be denied!
Sarcasm aside, we’ve all been there. High school? College? Maybe even later. It’s called infatuation. It’s chemical. And it IS powerful. And when it has a forbidden, clandestine component, it feels even MORE powerful. But it’s temporary. Anybody who’s been in a long term relationship KNOWS it’s temporary. Sanford is in the grips of a powerful force, to be sure, but he should never have allowed himself to “go there” in the first place. And now that he’s there, he is behaving like an adolescent. All this “love of his life” talk is silly. When the thrill wears off – which it always does – he will look back in mortification and regret at all he gave up for his mid-life fling.

She tried to work it out privately, he won’t repent, so guess what? Now comes public humiliation. This is one strong woman. She should run against him. :-)

Thats what those hot latin women will do to you. I should know I have one. All reasonable rationale goes straight out the window. All you think about is more MORE MORE!!!! Excuse me I have to go make more love to wife.
Vamanos!!!!

It’s a fact that men think with their penises. Some men are better than others at keeping their “little brains” under control. While the fault lies with both Sanford and Chapur, I have to agree with shiya. If women wouldn’t allow and accept this behavior from men, infidelity wouldn’t be such an issue. Marriage doesn’t mean anything anymore to many people and that’s truly sad.
Good luck to Mrs. Sanford and high five for finally leaving the bum.

I’m not sure that’s posible, but ‘yes’ he iss extraordinarily douche-tastic.

Dear Carolyn,
It’s a fact that women think with their pussies. Some women are better than others at keeping their “little brains” under control. While the fault lies with both Sanford and Chapur, I don’t agree with shiya. If men wouldn’t allow and accept this behavior from women, infidelity wouldn’t be such an issue. Marriage doesn’t mean anything anymore to many people and that’s truly sad.

“Sources close to the couple tell FITS that as soon as Sanford’s job was deemed “safe,” he began communicating with Chapur again almost immediately.” Sources even closer to the governor know that he never stopped communicating with her.

From the pictures I’ve seen of Ms. Chapur, she seems to strongly resemble the Mexican artist and bisexually active Frida Kahlo. Kahlo also had a unibrow like that Ms Chapur displays in the photos. I wonder if a photo close-up would reveal that Ms. Chapur has a mustache as did Kahlo?

Mark is middle age crazy trying to prove he still can…Its about conquest and self gratification…not love. If he doesnt wise up soon he will loose his wife and eventually Maria will leave him when she realizes his just thinking with his Winkie….what a clown. He should resign since his poor judgement has only proven he cant govern the state.
By Carolyn on August 11th, 2009 at 8:26 pm
My my, Wellington…bad experience with a woman? :P I’m very proud to say that I’ve never cheated on my husband, although I’ve had the opportunity. I take my marriage vows seriously, thank you very much.
And, you’ve just proven another one of my theories, although I can’t post it here. It involves scratching someone deep enough and finding something, though. :)
