Jenny Sanford (TM) Is Still Talking
By FITSNews || For those of you who missed her big Barbara Walters interview, S.C. First Lady Jenny Sanford (TM) was at it again on Monday, transforming her “private anguish” into additional public overexposure (and ka-ka-ching) on Good Morning America.
Interviewed by ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, this time Mrs. Sanford – who is pimping her book Staying True – found herself on the receiving end of some non-Baaa-Baaaa questions, including one about her “alleged” efforts to keep her disgraced husband in office at a critical juncture in the evolution of the scandal.
In fact, the soon-to-be ex-wife of S.C. Gov. Mark Sanford was asked point blank by Stephanopoulos whether or not she “called legislators to save her husband’s job.”
“I-I-I … not to my knowledge,” a visibly surprised Mrs. Sanford stammered. “(Long pause) I don’t recall calling anybody.”
Asked the same question again, she gave the same answer.
“Not to my knowledge, no.”
Obviously that contradicts our previous coverage on this subject – which has been confirmed by more than a few members of the mainstream media.
In fact, FITS spoke with several lawmakers Monday who once again confirmed what they told us six months ago – that the First Lady indeed called them during the critical weeks after the scandal broke (and after the governor’s disastrous AP interview) and urged them to stick with him.
You can watch Mrs. Sanford’s interview below … the exchange about “calling legislators” comes at the 3:40 mark.
While not as serious (cough – is any of this serious?), there’s another section of the interview in which the First Lady is clearly full of it – the part where she denies “Googling” Maria Belen Chapur.
“I think my kids were Googling her,” Mrs. Sanford says.
What? Blaming it on the kids?
Tsk-tsk-tsk …
For those of you who’ve forgotten already, in Mrs. Sanford’s big Vogue spread back in August of last year, a friend of the First Lady told the publication that she and the First Lady “Googled” Chapur, and that Mrs. Sanford found her “pretty.”
UPDATE: Hey Jenny … what’s (Sic’s) name?
UPDATE II: Oh, and here’s what the whole (TM) thing is about …

Wow…she’s got a lot to learn about giving an interview if she is going to run against Lindsey.

Who knew a philandering driftwood could attract a closet media whore with the face of a weathered bootstrap! I don’t feel so sorry for her, I just feel remorse for their poor kids.

She looks pretty. Sanford looks as old as dirt and Chapur looks like dirt.

This woman has what they call Reaction Formation.
Was told last night by some kids who go to PG w/ Sanford Sons that oldest, while furious with his Daddy, is also none too happy with Mom as she makes up things he said (a la Worse than Spitzer)and keeps flogging the pooch.
To what end Jen to what end? So ShutUp already!

If she is so big on “family” and so concerned about her kids, how can she justify the tell all book and the TV interviews, which have to be negatively impacting her kids with their peers. Jenny is all about Jenny IMO.
By Huhhh??? on February 8th, 2010 at 7:20 pm
she has no knowledge of making the calls? She doesn’t know if she made the calls?
Is she on that cocaine with Thomas or just a lying heifer?

The Sanfrauds don’t lie so good at all.

and here she is on Larry Pimp Live. All made up, looking like something from Desperate Housewives

Why does she always appear to have just been struck in the grill with an e-tool?

SHE IS RIPPING MARK SANFRAUD A NEW ASSHOLE EVERY CHANCE SHE GETS, I BET HE WISHES HE WOULD HAVE RESIGNED, BUT THEN AGAIN WE ARE TALKING ABOUT MARK FUCKING SANFRAUD!!!

Regarding Jenny’s interview this morning George was totally rude and condescending and was all about his “ego”-she did really well under that type of questioning-Jenny is not on trial-didn’t cause the problem and he conveniently forgot that-however, on Larry King he allowed her to explain why she wrote the book and is conducting these interviews-after all the humiliation from our LuvGov she has every right to explain why she cannot continue the family since he is going around blaming her for not reconciling-can you believe that!! Her book will help especially women in the same circumstance-why can’t FitsNews give Jenny at least that!! So many nasty hypocrites in SC – give her and her family a break!! I loved the book as did all my friends-highly recommended-SC should be proud of her instead of knocking her down-FitsNews included!!

Wow. Conservative Republican women are hypocritical liars just like conservative Republican men.
Wow, thanks for the newsflash, FITS.
And BTW, “Annie,” you, I mean she, wrote the book for $$$$$$ and revenge. I don’t need to watch Larry King to figure that out.

She was on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart tonight. Why does she talk so fast.
By Mrs. Ethel Krabitz on February 9th, 2010 at 6:43 am
her response did not ring true. the timing, tone, and gestures of her response were “off”…..classic body language of someone who is prevaricating.
Honestly,to say her book will help “women in the same circumstance” is truly a stretch. Most women with cheating husbands could give a rat’s ass about saving his career ….. her circumstance is light years from the average “Jane”’s with a cheating spouse.
By Jeffy on February 9th, 2010 at 7:05 am
This is so sad. No different than Jon and Kate, Brad and Angelina. She took the high road and drive it straight to USWeekly. Sad. Pathetic.

By last night, on Larry King she had rehabilitated her story on whether or not she had called any legislators. She said she called some who were “personal friends.” I can only surmise that would be Tom Davis and Chip Campsen. I agree that George S was a completely condescending ass. She has got to slow down that delivery to be taken seriously as a politician.

Mrs.Sanfraud if you dont get help at CHARTER please get help somewhere
By colleen on February 9th, 2010 at 9:50 am
There was a big difference in the way George S. from GMA and Larry King did their interviews. George did not seem to want to put Jenny at ease as matter of fact he hardly smiled and showed some distain on his face. Can’t help wondering if his wife ( a well known TV personality) is keeping a close watch over him. Larry on the other hand is a woman’s man; spoke very kindly to Jenny and gave her plenty time to explain what ever was discussed.

I loved it. Here was Stephanopolous — who knowing covered for his lying, cheating, philandering boss Clinton for years — all judgemental on our girl.
I think Jenny would have lit him up if she wasn’t trying to sell books. Publishers don’t like unlikable authors.
By countryboy on February 9th, 2010 at 10:09 am
Stephanopoulus is a Democrat and he would assume The Trademark is Republican, so naturally he would ask a question like had she called politicians on Sanfords behalf. Not defending him or the skank, just saying that’s the way he is. Been observing him since he was BJ Bill’s butt boy and he always gives tougher interviews to Republicans… not that this was a particularly tough interview overall, since it was an ongoing media slam at a Republican anyhow.
By Tank McNamara on February 9th, 2010 at 12:56 pm
what is it about being a sanford that prevents these 2 from shutting the hell up?!
By shiya on February 9th, 2010 at 7:04 pm
I though Jenny was excellent on Jon Stewart yesterday. She has very successfully painted MS as an insensitive, boorish cad, and I doubt if any woman–including Maria–will want to hang around with this loser. I liked the way her former employer at wall street confessed to being disappointed that she married MS.

I’m still amazed the Jenny has any business crying foul when she entered into a marriage where she and her husband explicitly omitted the vow of fidelity. She got exactly what she should have expected under the marriage contract she entered into. The kids really should seek help. And find places other than home to spend all time off from school.
ps, I wonder if the ex-guv of my home state of Illinois knows one can TM a name. He definitely should get BLAGO tm’d right away before he goes to trial in June.

1. She is a carpetbagger.
2. She doesn’t need the money.
3. She craves the lime-lite.
4. She lost her route to the White House.
5. She needs to take her Yankee ass back north.
By Force4good on February 9th, 2010 at 9:01 pm
Jenny’s doing great from all I’ve seen and heard. She looks fab too! Doormat no more. She has been rather magnanimous in preserving something of her husband’s reputation casting him as a troubled soul rather than an outright debauched C street cad (probably for the sake of her kids and what she remembers of the good times.) I am sure she mourns the loss of the man she married and whether this chasm came out his mid-life crisis or some deep-seeded incompatibility I don’t think he’ll ever find someone as understanding and clued in to his motivations than Jenny, “soulmate” included! And to all the bashers for whatever slights you perceive, real or imagined, your venom and negativity is preventing you from moving forward with your own lives and making SC a better place. Take a page from Jenny.

Am I glad that the Ice Princess finally cut you off! Welcome back, homboyie, it’s time for this one again, ’cause you really are the Same Ol’ G!

we’re not moving forward with our lives! We’re not making SC a better place! listen up , Force4Good, some of us get up and go to jobs helping others in this state every single day, for a FRACTION of what JS (TM) got for her book contract.
We’re not making the big bucks appearing on every TV show that will have us, either. How on EARTH does that help SC? other than remind everyone else in this fine country that we have an asinine GOV with a bitter soon-to-be ex-wife?
By countryboy on February 10th, 2010 at 8:30 am
Sounds like the thing the “Trade Mark” misses most about being first “lady” is not having her “slaves” (prisoners) doing her bidding. Pathetic.
By joebo on February 10th, 2010 at 12:09 pm
I met Jenny back when Mark was running for his first term as Governor, back when I respected Mark and contributed substantially to his campaign. Jenny was cold and stand-offish then. It clearly pained her to speak to me. Maybe she needs to pack it up and head back to Chicago. Maybe Mark needs to pack it up and head back to Argentina. South Carolina will be better off without both of them. We need native sons and daughters who care about our state in positions of leadership if South Carolina is to move forward(Mark grew up in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, not on his step-father’s plantation…I mean farm…. in Beaufort County).
