Estranged S.C. First Lady Jenny Sanford has reportedly served legal papers on her unfaithful husband, Gov. Mark Sanford – papers which are said to include the specific terms of a financial settlement.
There’s just one problem – the governor is refusing to sign them, according to our sources.
It is unknown at this point whether or not the papers include a proposed divorce settlement, but the First Lady has made it perfectly clear that her twenty-year marriage to her philandering husband is over.
The Sanfords appeared together for the first time in months at a holiday open house event Thursday evening at the Governor’s Mansion – a residence Mrs. Sanford publicly exited in August after attempts at reconciling the marriage proved fruitless.
After permitting her husband an awkward kiss on the cheek, the two kept their distance from one another for the duration of the event.
Drama, drama, drama.
For Sanford, a divorce could prove financially lucrative in spite of his bad behavior.
After all, his attorneys could make the case that Mrs. Sanford’s willingness to attempt a reconciliation alleviates some of the obvious “marital fault” that falls on his shoulders. Of course, the First Lady would be off the hook for her forgiving spirit if the governor has maintained romantic contact with his lover -as is widely believed to be the case.
Mrs. Sanford, born to a wealthy family, was a successful investment banker on Wall Street prior to managing her husband’s political destiny.
The governor? He’s been successful at winning elections (thanks to his wife), but that’s about it.
After mysteriously vanishing from the state for five days in June (and lying to the public about his whereabouts), Gov. Sanford later admitted to having carried on a long-term affair with his Latin lover, Maria Belen Chapur. In an interview with the Associated Press a week later, he called Chapur his “soul mate” and added that he had “crossed lines” with other women in the past.
As a result of the scrutiny into his administration stemming from his affair, Sanford is facing an ongoing investigation by the State Ethics Commission as well as impeachment hearings in the S.C. House of Representatives.
Interestingly enough, Barbara Walters of ABC News is in South Carolina this weekend filming her “10 Most Intriguing People of 2009″ interview with the First Lady.
Wonder whether or not she raises this issue during those interview sessions?

how is a divorce financially lucrative for Sanford? she doesnt owe him any alimony, and he would owe child support.
By Todd December 5, 2009 at 3:48 pm
Oh, boy, this is going to be great! The Sanfords get to go to Family Court in Charleston County. Maybe they will draw Judge Charlie Segars-Andrews, then one appeals and guess what!!!!! Jean Toal and the Supremes get to make the final decision on the financial settlement between the Sanfords! This is going to be great for you media types – for years…..
By Bobbo December 5, 2009 at 3:51 pm
Is it just me or has he refused to do anything that would be good for everyone else? Won’t leave office, won’t allow his wife her settlement. At what point is someone going to smack him around and tell him it’s not all about what he wants.
What a spoiled little brat.
By colleen December 5, 2009 at 5:06 pm
Why would he refuse to sign the legal papers? Would have thought he would be glad to get out of his marriage and be with Maria? So sad for the children tho.
By Linda December 5, 2009 at 5:28 pm

Will, you’re really underselling you’re daily Sanford threepacks these days.
I mean, the post marital angle hasn’t been discussed by anyone.
You should have emblazoned “Exclusive” across the top and quoted yet another pretend unidentified source, that may or may not have been a voice in your head, on the legal ramifications.
I’m worried you might be losing a step.
By baker December 5, 2009 at 5:53 pm
“The governor? He’s been successful at winning elections (thanks to his wife), but that’s about it.”
This is an interesting statement coming from Will Folks.
After all, wasn’t Mark Sanford the man who really got it? The guy who understand economics and real issues affecting businesses and everyday people? The guy who was going to bring real-world-worthy reform to SC?
I mean, I guess if a fellow has all the right ideas — despite only having success politically and “that’s about it” — then I suppose he could bring positive change. But Will’s comment here seems to reinforce the perception that Sanford’s political run has been about ideology…..with little connection to real folks

By James the Foot Soldier December 5, 2009 at 6:08 pm
Governor Sanford is too cheap to take a divorce to court.
This case will be settled, as 98% of divorce cases are, once his pocketbook has been picked clean by his legal team.
There are only 3 divorce attorney rules:
Rule number one – don’t defend the indefensible.
Rule number two – never tell your client about rule number one.
Rule number three – extort as much money as possible before client stumbles upon rule number one.

Whatever Jenny is or isn’t, she is a good mother and was a good wife. Period.

He won’t resign and he won’t sign, both costing SC citizens and his family more grief and more money. What a complete ass.

By shiya December 5, 2009 at 8:19 pm
I agree with 2 cents…this man is not acting like someone who cares about his family at all…that he thinks he can negotiate his way through not just through the governorship but his marriage is well speaks volumes as to the kind of guy he is. It is unfathomable to me that anyone can support him. he should be impeached for just being a massive jerk.
I hope he and Maria have the same ending that Greg Norman and Evert did: another couple with whom karma caught up.
By support your local leader December 5, 2009 at 8:19 pm
Why don’t you people stop persecuting the man who was put in place to lead and control South Carolina? It’s a sad thing that there was some infidelity in his marriage, but it’s time that he and his wife reconcile. They need to reconcile their differences and patch up the problems with their marriage. Then she can go back to her husband and do what she should do to be a good wife. That’s her position in life.
All you other people who are taking such delight in the trials and tribulations of the Governor should be ashamed of yourselves. He was put there and if you really believe the Bible then you should not question this. If you don’t believe the Bible, then it says you’re going to go to hell. If you don’t believe that, then ask any preacher and see what he tells you. Sanford did do some things that would have been wrong if he hadn’t been a leader. One was to pay back $3,000 that he might have owed to the state. Sanford would probably be a great leader on any level. He wouldn’t be giving away the country to the people who want a handout. He wouldn’t be funding things like education or the arts, which is a waste of money. It’s true that he left the best country in the world to see a woman, but while he was gone, nobody got hurt. When Sanford was gone, nobody got hurt. They were only confused about where he might be. When the tragic events of nine one one occurred, nearly 3,000 people died. They can’t be replaced. Sanford was responsible for the loss of $3,000 which he did replace. If that’s not good behavior, then South Carolina is not a moral pillar of the nation. Sanford made restitution for what he’d done and no one will be able to reverse the awful damages of any loss of human life. South Carolina has been very safe and not one bad thing has happened to the state under his able leadership. He was always very careful about money, ordering his subordinates to write on both sides of sticky notes to save paper and money. He would probably also make sure that people who flew on government business flew in coach or economy class. All of us have been able to walk the streets, parks and paths of South Carolina all these years without having to fear anything flying overhead. Maybe he’s a competent leader who would do so much more if he were given more power. South Carolina has a chance to produce their own Camelot, but they want to ridicule it. Some people are just never satisfied with anything or anyone. If he was good enough in 2002 and 2006, why isn’t he good enough in 2009?

The adultery thing is wrong, especially when done by common people. King David was guilty of adultery and he was forgiven. King David was in power and we are told that he was put in power and the rules are a little different for people in power than it is for the public. King David is supposed to have been sorry for what he did and Sanford confessed to having a King David moment. Why can’t you take him at his word that he recognizes what he did was wrong? The C Street philosophy has been maintained for decades by people who are religious. If it is wrong, have any mainstream preachers like Dr. Billy Graham, Dr. James Dobson, Pat Robertson, Charles Colson or Jimmy Swaggart denounced it? The people of South Carolina should be grateful that his indiscretion involved a member of the opposite sex, especially considering that so many members of the GOP have been caught in so many sex scandals that were not of the heterosexual persuasion. Ask your local preacher about homosexuality. They will tell you that it is much worse. It certainly doesn’t jibe with the values of the people in South Carolina. Be thankful that you have a real man who will only be tempted by a woman, as it should be.

I have a real picture of the real Maria. Do you know how to solve a problem like Maria?
Answer- hire a fancy nancy lawyer with SEC and FINRA experience, and who started up a company with 8 million Fidelity Management and Research dollars.
Not many people in the state even know what Sanfraud has truly done, but I have heard that as soon as the losers in the General Assembly vote to acquit him of all transgressions, the real Maria is gonna stand up.

These posters are hilarious – you all qualify for the Miss South Carolina pageant – intelligent enough at least.
Why don’t you all analyze the situation and dig deeper into “news” that comes out instead of believing everything you read?
1. Jenny Sanford is no pushover – if MS is really still involved with that woman, JS would not have given sh!t to do all the “First Lady”‘s duties like the Xmas showing last week. Why should she? She’s fully capable, mentally and financially, to forego everything political – instead she chose to uphold her duties – which mainly are not for herself but to improve her husband’s image.
2. They have two older sons who are mature enough to understand the impact of their father’s action and if he’s still lying and carrying on with that woman, they would distance themselves from their father.
3. The same for close friends like L. Graham, etc.
4. Mark Sanford knows SC is too conservative to try to integrate that woman. One – she’s an adulterer, two – she’s foreign. As diverse as SC claims to be, there’s still a lot of discrimination and prejudice and the people of SC would not allow this woman to be brought to the mansion.
5. Even if JS is planning on divorcing her husband, she does not need to settle anything with him – no law would give MS custody or financial gains after all the negative publicity.
But – you know – keep those postings coming and Fits – continue these craps story – it’s entertaining! :)

Posts like SYLL lead us to think that you believe that there is some way out of this mess…there is not …not Boeing…not the Second Coming……at some point adulterers needs to adress the fact that it is just pussy and a F***k….is it really worth it. Tiger can you hear me.
And to compare Mark to King David …with a defence of the C Street creed is sickening….only to be topped by saying well it was better than sucking a d**k.

You must be Sanford, a minion of Sanford, or some slackjawed motherfucker who actually this believes in the douche. Do you know what the difference between 2002 and now is, seven long years you jackass. A lot can change in 7 years. A conservative guy can abandon his morals to chase after some sweet South American poon and violate state rules on the flight arrangements as well as deceive people to his whereabouts. Sorry he is the governor and not a private citizen so his personal life is gone when he stepped into office, you know 7 years ago. The guy has once again held SC up to be the standard bearer of national embarrassment and the butt of late night TV jokes. And the King David thing, Sanford is using that to buy support from tiny minded holy rollers like yourself. You can be a patsy and fall for it, but I’m not.

Some of us need to watch our language. We can disagree without using obscenities. For the record, I haven’t had sex with any of your “mothers”. Let’s try to be civil with one another.
South Carolina has been mocked for years and years due to their refusal to stop using the Confederate flag which stood in opposition to the government of the United States. It’s kind of like having a Nazi flag and then having a US flag over it. 2006 was not that long ago and it’s doubtful that values have changed that much in that length of time.
History will be kind to Sanford. Today everyone is howling against him. In the future he will be viewed as King David is viewed today.
He was good enough for you in 2006 and today you are so displeased with him and wish he would just go away. Do you dislike him because of your own principles or do you dislike him because a few people in the media have piled on to him? Have you ever wondered why it was okay to start a war based on dangerous weapons that didn’t exist? You were told that it was imperative that an invasion take place in order to stop these weapons from being used against anyone. After the invasion, these elusive weapons have never been discovered. One might argue that this invasion was murder. Is adultery worse than murder? If so, how? The man committed adultery, yes. He admitted that he did it. That’s between him and his wife. He paid back the money to the state. Nobody is complaining about the Senator Vitter from Louisiana. Are you familiar with him and his problems with adultery? He’s still there, fighting for his people. If the mob has their way, he will be removed. Fair enough, but why? Is it because he cheated on his wife? Many people reading this are guilty of that. Is it because of some deeper ethics violation? If so, what? Let us know. I wish you all a better week than what you have all wished me.

The point of posting in this thread has been about supporting a leader, not finding friends. You are against a man who was fiscally responsible and you South Carolina has been a solid Republican state for so long and the attitudes expressed against Sanford has been shocking and gratuitously profane. If you were in court, you wouldn’t be able to use that kind of language. Your constitutional rights would get you thrown in a cell for contempt of court. You can make a point without resorting to using foul language. It doesn’t make you sound more clever and it doesn’t make your argument any more pointed.
Vitter is from Louisiana, but Thurmond was from South Carolina. No one has complained about that on this forum. Peoples’ sex lives are private, or should be private. What they do about it is between them and their Maker. What they should complain about is whether their leaders are obeying their oath of office. If they’re not, then let them know what they’re doing wrong. If they are not going to change their ways, then they might have to be impeached. I’m not clear what point people are upset about. As far as his job goes, he seems to be doing it.
Due to the overwhelming lack of support for Sanford, I am wondering whether the Democrats or Republicans are more upset with him. If it’s about jobs, then South Carolina hasn’t been much of an economic powerhouse if it ever was one. It might have employed a bunch of people in agriculture and factories, but those jobs were not high-wage for the most part. Are people upset because of high unemployment or morals issues? The poverty rate has always been a bit higher here than in a lot of other states. Sad, but no one has been able to remedy it.
Genome, do you kiss your mama with that mouth? You can say what you like, but there’s no reason to be that way, unless you can’t say anything other than curse words. That’s not going to impress anyone.
Don’t use that excuse of hiding behind the Constitution. Bush called the constitution ‘a…(expletive)..piece of paper’ and a lot of people from South Carolina don’t have much regard for the Constitution since their ancestors seceded from the Union in the first place. You really need to watch your language and maybe you’ll have more friends, if you want any.
It’s interesting to see that Robin Williams, the actor and former comedian who used to be so strung out on drugs and missed an appointment to be with his friend John Belushi when he died of an overdose influences the people of South Carolina. Getting his own TV show and movies lead to him using cocaine and other harmful drugs. The poor man couldn’t handle all that money, so he started using controlled substances because he wanted to. His career took a nose-dive because the poor thing ran into a lot of money and spent it on drugs. Wouldn’t you like to share his troubles? So, who cares if Robin Williams makes jokes about Sanford? What has Robin Williams ever done for South Carolina? Has he ever visited South Carolina? He might not like the state because John Belushi’s brother got a speeding ticket in the state, or very near here, maybe north of the border. Robin Williams has always used southerners as a convenient butt of his many jokes. And you would let someone who almost ran off the edge due to his own choice to take illegal drugs make you think as he thinks. You may be able to impeach Sanford, but it might take 25% of his second term. Again, I remind you: you voted for him in 2006 and the economy wasn’t great then, either. Why you have turned on him now has not been properly explained.
If you want to stop being made fun of, then you might stop flying that traitor flag for a start. And, either learn some better language or wash your mouth out with soap. We all know you can curse and we’re all impressed. You don’t have to prove it to us time and again.

Support your local leader,
you my tiny-minded compatriot made the poor decision to believe that I voted for Sanford in 2006. I think your comparison of Sanford to King David is quite appalling and sad that you have to bring religion into the debate of the moral decline of our governor. Sadly I am not an anti-intellectual theocrat and thus not a pawn for your sad analogies. My point is the guy violated state rules, misled state officials, and the public as to his activities and brought shame upon our state. Maybe the guy does not have the brains to see that stepping down is the appropriate thing to do and trying to salvage his family as his political career is dead. So while you use scriptural comparisons to support a guy who ran off and dropped the hog on some South America tail (is that gentle enough for your tender sensibilities?), I think he is unfit for his job and should go.

Genome:
Thank you for a clear answer. At least you clarified why you think he is unfit for the job. The shame brought to the state can’t be as much as that brought by Senator Craig to his state. Quoting ‘you voted for him in 2006′ means that a majority of the people voted for him at that time. The post was directed at those who were piling on to Sanford, some of whom undoubtedly voted for him in 2006. Some have made clear why they are upset, like ohara. They might be Democrats. That was good of ohara to explain the reason. That would be understandable. There are plenty of others who have had plenty to say about this. I wonder how many of them supported him until now? At least a few have made clear why they are against him. Other questions have gone unanswered, but you gave enough reasons to help people understand your views in this matter. At least you make it clear why you stand where you stand. If you are not an anti-intellectual theocrat, then you are a most unusual specimen, at least in my neighborhood.

A democrat? How in blazes would you know, since you obviously haven’t even gotten a handle on the Sanford thing? Look around you-this is home base for SC conservatives. It take an awful lot of gall infested hypocrisy for someone to bash everyone else while they stand up for an admitted liar & thief.

sanfraud is gonna get more piled on leader. he knows it already. he’s fighting it tooth and nail.
however, it’s all coming out… understand?
if you’re his friend, you may want to tell him.

“support your local leader” = Sanford? Cubby? Nah. I’d sooner guess that Strom’s Daughter was gracing us again, but this time with longer and more detailed and more straightforward pulling of the whiskers, though still with the strong irony and very amusing role playing.

BORN IDENTITY?
OK Colleen…Here is the down and dirty. The following is almost to bizarre to be true, but you can check it out for yourself. My source is from Guido’s Bar in Buenos Aires, check with the bartender, and ask for Carlos Soto.
Maria works for Bunge and Born a multinational company AKA Bunge, ltd based in Bermuda. The comapny was founded in the late 1800′s by a German-Argentine, Ernesto Bunge. The company is a powerful consortium of dozens of import and export companies. The company is and was so powerful in Argentina that it actually controlled economic and monetary policy with the Argentine government. In the 1970′s two siblings of the founders, Jorge and Juan Born were kidnapped by the far-leftist group, Montoneros. They were kept in as a safe house for almost a year and were released on a record setting ransom of $60 million.
in 1987, the CEO, Mario Hirsch died unexpectedly (?) and the company was taken over by Jorge, who formed a business partnership with one of his former captors, Rodolfo Galimberti! Maria’s expertise is economic policy and she speaks fluent Chinese, Portuguese, Spanish, and English and others with enough to get by. She also can Tango with the best of them. So why does someone want to infiltrate Sanford’s brain? I’m not saying. But there is more to this than hiking the Appalachian Trail. I gotta run, my tape recorder is smoking and my shoe phone is ringing…

To “Support Your Local Leader”
Most of us are sick of him and his wife. We didn’t make him appear at press conferences and we certainly didn’t want to hear about his soulmate and the sparkle and he had to know that his children would hear. Gross.
We want him gone because this shows his true character and stupidity. All Mark Sanford cares about is Mark Sanford. Whatever happens to him he did it to himself. Oh and precious Jenny – you notice she didn’t leave until the world found out. I guess it was OK as long as no one knew. Let him go back to C Street with Ensign and the rest.

INTERESTING POST from the Post and Courier
Posted by AnaLaura on June 26, 2009
RE: Maria Belen Chapur
“See a picture of the home breaker, she had a habit, she has been sleeping around with a powerful (and mafia) man (alberto Fernandez) from the Argentinean government, I know, I live in the US but I was born in Argentina. Heck, many argentineans, including me, we speak 5 languages, but we do not sleep around and we do not break homes.”
“This woman also slept around with the local “Ted Turner” of Buenos Aires, Daniel Haddad hired her as an informal commentator even if she had no formal training. She broke his marriage too, he had 4 or 5 kids, and when their affair came to light she was sent by his news channel to cover AFGHANISTAN, maybe Haddad’s wife ask him to do that, to get rid of this whore.
“She is a jaded divorcee and a gold-digger, a climber. Sorry mr Sanford, she “loved” you as much as she loved other “strong” men, not afraid to get close to mafia, in Argentina…”

I find your story very bizarre and perhaps not true at all. I have no intention of going to BA to talk to that bartender. If he did tell you that story, why would he give you his name? I would think he would fear for his life for talking to you about an Argentine woman. Could he be trying to throw you of the track? Isn’t that the place where the owner told the reporters that Maria was a dirty blond w/green eyes?
If my memory serves me right, one of the earliest posts said that Bunge and Born have stated that she was never one of their employees. Her name was listed as one of the marathon runners for the company probably because one of her friends worked there and invited her to participare.

Support Your local Leader, you are a dumbfuck.

Everything I posted can be confirmed, twice over, by anyone who knows how to search the net. And the bartender never gave me his ID–his name was on his shirt, so I asked three people what his last name was. So, as you can see I did my homework. Just read AnaLaura’s post in The Post and Courier and it all adds up with my info. Go to Wikipedia if you doubt my info on this company. And trust me, she does work for B & B — at least she did as of last week. If MS would have been nabbed do you think his heiress wife would have paid his ransom? Or maybe the State of SC would have had to have dipped into their lottery money to get him back. I don’t know. MS is lucky he made it back.

Designated Driver has the morals of a Republican and the anger of a liberal. I guess that makes DD an Independent.
