First Lady Bails On Breast Cancer Walk
For a cancer survivor, S.C. First Lady Jenny Sanford sure has a funny way of showing her support for the cause …
According to Gina Smith at The State newspaper (a.k.a. La Socialista), the First Lady is bailing on this year’s “First Ladies Walk for Life,” choosing instead to stay at her oceanfront Sullivans Island, S.C. home with her four boys.
Guess that May “memoirs” deadline must be sucking up all of her time …
Like her husband, S.C. Gov. Mark Sanford – who earlier this summer confessed to having a year-long affair with an Argentine woman – Mrs. Sanford has kept a much lighter public schedule in recent weeks.
In August, she moved her family out of the Governor’s Mansion in Columbia, an event that appeared to be carefully staged for media consumption. Other than a highly-publicized Vogue interview, not a peep has been heard from her – at least not until the news of her book deal broke in late September.
In fairness to Jenny, the First Ladies Walk for Life is actually named for Beth Coble – wife of Columbia, S.C. mayor Bob Coble.
Still, given her battles with the disease, you would think she might be able to find the time to attend this event.

Wow, I guess now that hubby blew her chance at the White House there is no need to make like she really cares about average South Carolinians.
Those boys really don’t stand a chance. With the combination of money and privilege, private schools, and these two parents it will be no surprise when we see them in Kennedy kids/Olson twin type headlines in a few years.

The title of her “book” has been leaked:
MY FROSTY VAGINA MONOLOGUE

Jenny is a cancer survivor??

Strom’s D is full of ‘em tonight! Yuk yuk yuk. Where are those two old dudes from the Muppet Show when you need ‘em?
She does strike me as an ice queen though. And I read people pretty well.
Madcock may be right.

Yeah shiya but she’s recently removed herself from the huge asshole tumor that was afflicting her and still sickens all South Carolinians.

Good to know she cares.

Come on Fits, you know that this is the real story, why no mention of it on your site?!?…
http://www.postandcourier.com/news/2009/sep/23/jenny-sanford-write-memoir/
And suffice it to say that I am disappointed at your unwillingness to open up the competition for the naming of Jenny’s upcoming “inspirational” memoir. Your witty, creative, knowledgeable and talented readers would no doubt come up with some great ideas for the title, and your refusal to promote such a contest is nothing if not a senseless waste of an excellent opportunity for some quality humor. That having been said, let me recap my previously released proposals for the name of this important and highly anticipated book, which is sure to be a best seller and an instant classic:
“Tales of an Ice Princess”, guaranteed to leave you cold
“No Sex, No Luv, No E-Mails”
And now, again revealed first to Fits readers, my alternate titles for Jenny’s memoir:
“He Was Told Not To See Her”, forbidden love, bold defiance
“Who Let The Genius Out Of The Bottle?”
“I’m Melting, Melting”
“Appalachian Trail My Ass”
“Pick Me Up On The Porch”
“Nobody Throws Me Under The Bus”
“Give Your Soulmate My Best Regards”
“Analysis Of A Business Merger Gone Bad”
“Have Your Lawyer Call My Lawyer”
“Fuck Off And Die”
“Everything You Own In A Box To The Left”

WOOHOO Hooray, it’s my lucky day!! Any extra scoop for finding the one and only FITS error?
“choosing instead to SAY at her oceanfront…”
Just don’t look at my mistakes! Other than that FITS perfectly summed up the selfish **** who chose to participate in much of her hubby’s deceitful acts. Except for one little one of course.

Maybe she’s got a lot on her mind with the affair and all, you damn vultures.

“Mrs. Sanford has kept a much lighter public schedule in recent weeks”. Lighter than what? Has Mrs. Sanford ever had even a parttime public schedule? She has only sporadically participated in the public part of being First Lady the entire time her husband has been governor. Aside from feeling sorry (a little) for anyone who was publicly humiliated the way she was, she has, in my opinion, been a lousy First Lady.

What a bunch you all are in SC-we here in NY love Jenny for her dignity with all that her rotten husband has put her and her family through-why should she put herself through anything more with this cancer walk the way you people are starting to treat her! She wasn’t the one that lied, cheated, etc. she needs a little more of your respect! Unlike our Ms Spitzer who stood there degraded Jenny has class and we in NY will all buy her book – Come on South Carolina!

Sic, didn’t you know the First Lady moved the day before the media coverage? Everyone on Sullivan’s Island did.
By MKinVA on October 2nd, 2009 at 2:55 pm
scarlettohell: No kidding. Further proof that she staged that morning’s drama for the media.
By Laura Campbell on October 2nd, 2009 at 6:17 pm
The Ice Queen cometh and goeth, thank goodness. Now, why doesn’t she just head back to NY where she’s so greatly appreciated? Sure she’ll miss that oceanfront property she and Sanfraud obtained so inexpensively. It’s a blessing she nor Luv Guv did not make it to the White House.

First, do not put the Sanford boys in the same sentence as the Kennedys. I hope the best for the Sanford boys, but they are not going to be anywhere near as great. Second, Mrs. S. left the mansion, so I do not think she should be involved in any event that she would have been if things had not gone south. Third, Sanford needs to resign–no matter what the topic.
By madcock on October 2nd, 2009 at 10:00 pm
She has plenty of money, supportive parents and friends, and healthy children.
What a shame she has no time to use her position and her husband’s adultery to bring even more attention to an event that saves lives.
What a selfish “rhymes with witch.”

Two possible titles for Jenny’s book:
“Don’t Cry For Me, Argentina”
“I’m Gonna Git You, Suckah!”
By alaindelon on October 5th, 2009 at 9:28 pm
More possible titles:
I married a sociopath
Me,Marshall’s johnson and Maria’s pumpum
Marhall does Buenos Aires
She looked so unhappy and so did her son at the Marines’s mud event…I
don’t blame her for skipping “official ” events.Their marriage is over.
Sanfraud’s family jewels are so tiny that he can’t be a man and resign.She
is probably depressed on the time and money wasted on this psycho…I
always cut her some slack because of the poor excuse of a person she
was married to.

These Sanford people are from another planet and another time. She dresses her boys like 1962 Hyde Park. If you see them out in public they look like the Stepford Wives and their offspring. A construction worker tells me he was at their beach house and Jenny was arguing where the salt shaker should be placed on the table. She’s definitely Ms Gepetto with all her little pinocchioes.
