S.C. First Lady Jenny Sanford issued the following statement Friday morning regarding her twenty-year marriage to S.C. Gov. Mark Sanford …
As so many of us know, the dissolution of any marriage is a sad and painful process. It is also a very personal and private one. Because Mark and I are public figures, we have naturally had less privacy with which to deal with our difficulties than do other couples. Indeed, I know it will soon become known so I choose to release this brief notice that I am now filing for divorce. This came after many unsuccessful efforts at reconciliation, yet I am still dedicated to keeping the process that lies ahead peaceful for our family.
I remain thankful to so many across this state and nation for their words of encouragement and prayers during this difficult time. Please know the boys and I are doing well and are blessed with the incredible support of friends and family and bolstered by our faith and the unfailing love of our God above.
Gov. Sanford mysteriously disappeared from the Palmetto State for five days in late June. He later confessed to having an extramarital affair with his Latin lover, Maria Belen Chapur, a woman he later described as his “soul mate.” The governor also admitted to “crossing lines” with other women.

Class act.
Her use of the word “reconciliation” again makes me wonder if she’s a Catholic.
Reconciliation is the more modern name for the sacrament of penance. Which was the modernized, at the time, name for CONFESSION.
But in reconciliation, to get forgiven of one’s sins, you don’t just fess up.
You have to fess up fully.
You have to make things right with those you wronged.
And you have to STOP the sin or sins in question.
Given certain reports about a certain someone being at the family farm and another farm in Aiken County, that might be the thing that clinches the deal. I’ve never gone through a Catholic marriage counseling, but I bet it’s akin to all this.

That’s because her dirtbag husband said yesterday he wanted “reconciliation” – thus blaming her now for their divorce in the eyes of the boys

Again, they talk to each other through the public discourse. They both need to check themselves. It has to be hard on their children to watch this gamesmanship by their father and mother.

What now happens to Jenny’s staff of seven and $680,000 budget? When do our swift representatives cut her off from as “First Lady”?
