By FITSNews || Jenny Sanford keeps saying that her first priority is “taking care of her children.” And yet we keep seeing her traveling all over the state (and the country) selling her book, Staying True, in an effort to milk this so-called “family tragedy” for every dime it’s worth …
The wife of disgraced S.C. Gov. Mark Sanford – a man whose affair and subsequent fall from grace last summer made international headlines (and provided months of material for America’s comedy writers) – Mrs. Sanford trademarked her own name one week after her husband’s sex scandal broke, if that tells you anything about her modus operandi.
Since then, she has viewed this “crisis” exclusively as an image-building, money-making proposition … period.
That’s an interesting way of “putting family first” if you ask us – particularly considering she was already richer that God before her husband went gaga over the tan lines of his Argentinean “butterface.”
Oh well … we’ve already weighed in on that subject.
The latest stop on Jenny’s “Man Eater” tour? The College of Charleston, where she will attend a forum Wednesday morning sponsored by the school’s Library foundation and its Center for Women, i.e. an “intimate” gathering of Tweed-wearing beta males (and their dominant Feminazis) whose participants will no doubt lap up every bit of this made-for-Lifetime-TV drama.
From the event invite:
Jenny Sanford will speak about her recent book, Staying True, chronicling her relationship with her husband of twenty years. Following her talk, Mrs. Sanford will have a candid conversation with Jennet Robinson Alterman, Executive Director of the Center for Women, discussing the events and the national media attention surrounding the publication of her bestselling book. Mrs. Sanford’s views on women running for public office, as well as her own plans for the future, will wrap up what is likely to be a spirited conversation.
Oh and look …
A book signing will follow and copies of Staying True will be available for purchase.
No! You don’t say!
Tickets to this estrogen-fest are $25 apiece, and “payment will be accepted at the door,” the invite reads.
You know, because Jenny isn’t giving this sh*t away …

Warning! another woman with a triple name: Jennet Robinson Alterman

From the onset she proved she was more interested in hurting mark than protecting her family. If family protection was her goal, she wouldn’t have hopped on every opportunity to talk to the press that crossed her path. I can’t stand her – at first she had my sympathy, now I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND Why Mark did what he did and give him a total pass on it.
By Ynotfirst March 15, 2010 at 12:54 pm
no no she IS protecting THE FAMILY…. maybe Mark isn’t a member anymore?
By Jeffy01 March 15, 2010 at 12:58 pm
Inside edition, Wendy Williams, The Soup, all on the horizon for our classy first lady.
By PandaChris March 15, 2010 at 1:12 pm
I think that Ms. Sanford and Elizabeth Edwards both give wronged wives a bad name!
I cannot condone adultery, but if ANYTHING could make me feel sympathic toward Sanford and John Edwards, it is these two harpies!
What pieces of work they both are!

Tired of hearing about this skank.
By Crooner March 15, 2010 at 1:45 pm
Making money IS taking care of her children. She sure can’t rely on the cheap boob to do it.
By Skil Power Tool March 15, 2010 at 1:52 pm
Let me get this straight:
You take Jenny to task for promoting her book to feed her family — where her only claim to fame is that she was married to Mark Sanford.
Yet, in an odd irony — you run this website in hopes of making money to feed your family — where your only claim to fame is that you once worked for Mark Sanford.
Hypocrite.
By Tank McNamara March 15, 2010 at 2:03 pm
i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again: she is no different than her ex-husband: arrogant, pompous, and self-absorbed. why people call her “classy”, a “heroine”, etc. is beyond me. i truly feel for their children for having to endure this but she is more concerned with promoting herself and publicly humiliating her husband every opportunity she gets. i think she should focus on taking care of them and keeping them insulated as much as possible. she had the sympathy of the majority of people just for having to go through the public humiliation her ex-husband caused but she lost my sympathy when she decided to lower herself to his level.
By Matt March 15, 2010 at 2:09 pm
She is a total B**ch!! I have several friends in the F&B world in Mt Pleasant and on Sullivans Island who have had the “pleasure” of waiting on her several times since she moved down here full time. They all have told me how demanding, rude and bitchy she is. I think her “victim” role is wearing thin with everybody. She’s about power, status and money…always has been…always will be.
By Diana March 15, 2010 at 2:26 pm
Oh please – she is certainly entitled to do whatever she wishes after the crap that Marke Mark pulled – unreal that you can’t realize that – did you want her to curl up in a little ball and whine-would that have made you happy – you people are something else – Go for it Jenny!! We’re all for you – And – - me thinks FitsNews has an ax to grind!! Wonder what?
By shiya March 15, 2010 at 3:17 pm
I for one am totally happy that JS is milking this tragedy for all its worth…if her sons feel humilated about it, its another lesson for them as to what happens when you treat your spouses this way. MS babbled his way through humilating his family for a whole year, and gets to keep his governorship. The wife does her rounds for two months, and she is drawing flack. what do you want her to do? curl up and die? obviously there is an audience for her, otherwise she wont be getting these invites.
As for those commenting that JS pushed Mark into the affair, how about Mark’s behavior pushing JS into the limelight.
By really???? March 15, 2010 at 3:31 pm
taking care of you family does include financial stability. can’t fault her for that. That ticket price is cheaper than the reception for demintrubio here in Gvegas.
By Skil Power Tool March 15, 2010 at 3:35 pm
Here’s one more. Mark could have avoided this whole situation. If wasn’t getting enough out of Jenny, he should have just beaten her.
Worked for you, didn’t it Willie?
By Jeffy01 March 15, 2010 at 3:38 pm
w…h…o..r…e. If she cared about the kids, she would shut up and quit making a joke of herself. Next thing you knwo she will be on Reality TV…then will can see all of her classy upbringing.
I have now decided Im with Luv Guv….he made the right choice.
By Judy March 15, 2010 at 3:49 pm
I applaud Jenny and hope she has a very happy life with her boys post MS and he is the one that should have resigned and gone off with the “soul mate” but have a feeling she, too, kicked him by the wayside and thus his deicison to stay here… SAD and I say GO JENNY …
By sid March 15, 2010 at 3:53 pm
I thought she already has plenty of money. How much does she need to ensure “financial stability” for her family, and does the added income outweigh the cost of possibly making “her sons feel humiliated?” Did she ask them about whether they wanted the additional “stability” at the cost of their feeling “humiliated”?
By colleen March 15, 2010 at 4:00 pm
There was nothing in the web site that said the $25.00 ticket was for the book. Am assuming that it was for the admission and donation for the Friends of the Library and the Center for women. I’m certain that she was invited to give a speech after all she is an author (her book was on the best seller’s list) and is a local celebrity. Am assuming that most of the people have already bought the books and are bringing them in for her to sign.
What is the difference between JS being invited to give speechs at libraries and MS giving speechs at Rotary clubs?
Which is worse-Jenny telling us about her life w/Mark-his quirkness and her understanding of his complex nature or Mark breaking his marriage vows, throwing his wife over and telling the whole world that the
Argentine woman is his soulmate???????????
By Force4good March 15, 2010 at 4:29 pm
Bill- Read her book. You can get it at the library for free but there might be a waiting list.
Jenny is an intelligent woman. The sociopath Governor is indisputably wrong in his actions and follow-up. He switched his allegiance quite publically from his children and wife to the self-absorbed, “I’m in so much pain” Belen Chapur. Damage done.
This is a chess game. Jenny is protecting her turf in SC and her children. Its no accident that she gave interviews in Vogue and Marie Clare which have international reach. She is getting the word out to Belen Chapur and her sympathizers (if they happen to still be in the picture.) The book deal and the attendent appearances are part of her contract. She is looking toward employment in her future since her former husband has shown by his past actions to be unreliable.
Her children are no dummies. They understand what is going on and she keeps them in the loop as appropriate.

along with the autographed copies, band saws and electric screwdrivers will be available for purchase, too.
By Mike Traynor March 15, 2010 at 5:09 pm
Make no mistake . . . Jenny was the force behind Sanford. He is weak, effete and passive. She prodded him to run for office and for those who know him–it was only a matter of time before he self-destructed.
Jenny is setting up her future.
But, she is a first class bitch.
By Earl Capps March 15, 2010 at 5:22 pm
I hope they both leave and don’t bother us anymore. We didn’t deserve the crap we’ve been put through by the both of them.
With a little luck, maybe she’ll go back to New York and he’ll go to Argentina .
By Ynotfirst March 15, 2010 at 5:54 pm
Jenny is protecting herself

Everytime she appears on TV, it has to look crazy for her kids at school….. This b1tch needs to stop.

ugghhh so tired of both their faces and names…will they please join Elvis and LEAVE THE BUILDING!
By Sick of Sanford March 15, 2010 at 8:09 pm
Wow! Not very bitter, huh, Will? Jenny’s “Man Eater” tour? I have a question; when are you going to announce your dates for the 2010 “Cranky, Bitchy and Vindictive” tour? As much as I enjoy your vitriolic articles about the ‘Chief Lying Hypocrite of the State’, they’re almost love letters in comparison to when you get your baggy panties in a wad over the missus. What the hell did she ever do to you?
By Samara March 15, 2010 at 8:26 pm
She is now a single mother of four. Heck, I don’t blame her.
By Doyle March 15, 2010 at 8:43 pm
You people keep screaming that you want the Stepfruads to go away, but every time Sic posts something about them you line up to comment, that makes Sic keep posting shit about them. If you would just ignore….nah your not that smart, forget it.
By Admiral_Komack March 15, 2010 at 9:06 pm

By wisemon March 15, 2010 at 11:55 pm
I think she is out of control!
By jeffy March 16, 2010 at 8:48 am
I heard she was doing a Maxim shoot? she will be feautured in the “Old, bitter ladies, who want their Privacy” pictoral. She might just run for office??
By M. L. Alexander March 16, 2010 at 6:51 pm
…we all know, because we were taught, that SC should always elect true natives, not import wannabees….the end is in sight
By Diana March 16, 2010 at 9:40 pm
I wouldn’t be very proud to admit I was a true native with all the baloney from some of you I just read – you all sound like a bunch of hillbillies which is what some people in other states think we are and with some of your stupid language in regard to Jenny Samford you just fuel that thought- she is not the problem here – we elected or some of us elected that scum for govenor and our legislature refused impeachment and most of them are natives!! Explain that one!!
By sid March 17, 2010 at 9:23 am
People voted “that scum” into office based on no personal relationship with him, but based only on what others (including Jenny) said about him. She married “that scum” after (one presumes) a courtship where they opened up their hearts to each other, and exposed more than any in the general public would know. So, what does that say about her?
Oh, and I’m still wondering why she needs to ensure her financial security, since many have defended her actions based on that premise. Did Mark steal her millions? Did she squander them in the market? How, exactly, did she get into the situation where she must sell books and appearances in order to survive. Or is she just typical of most people? Once they get some money, they tend to want more, and will sacrifice whatever necessary (children’s emotional well-being, included) in order to achieve that goal.
By Diana March 17, 2010 at 10:18 am
How interesting SID that most, not all, but most of the nasty comments about Jenny Sanford (what do you care how, or why, she is running her life and those of her children – does a wonderful job) are men-they just can’t seem to stand to see a woman (after being humiliated in public) stand on her own two feet as best she can – doesn’t matter if she has money-you just don’t get it and never will – and when she married him 20 years ago I’m sure she didn’t plan on this happening – most women never do-her children are doing great no thanks to their looser Dad-they are very proud of her -
By sid March 17, 2010 at 11:33 pm
That’s “loser,” DIANA. But how interesting it is that all of Jenny’s defenders are women. So what? All I’m asking is why does she need the money? That’s one of the reasons her female defenders mentioned for her book and publicity tour. So, does she need the money, or does she just want the attention?
Why is it that if a man questions a woman’s motivation, it must be because he doesn’t want her to succeed? Can’t you just take sex out of the equation? I’m questioning a person based on what that person has done, not because of that person’s sex.
I presume you are a close friend of hers. It’s great that she has folks who will run to her defense. Of course, if you are close, then you are clearly not able to have an unbiased opinion on the couple, so forgive me if I discount your views as being somewhat tainted. I don’t know either, so I can have a less biased view.
Personally, I would have had more respect for her had she just dumped Mark and gone on with her life. He was clearly in the wrong. Right now, her life just seems a little too media-driven. And your reference to public humiliation makes her actions sound even more like someone just out for revenge. I’m sure her kids appreciate that, and appreciate their mom’s friends referring to their dad as a “looser” in a relatively public forum. Way to keep the crazy hate-cylce spinning along.
By Diana March 18, 2010 at 9:24 am
Sid – thanks for the spelling lesson – “loser”-”looser” still applies – sounds like you’re a friend of Mark’s – he’ll do you in too since he threw his wife and kids “under the bus” for a “whore”-did I spell that right??? Hope you’ll all be happy!
By sid March 18, 2010 at 10:18 am
I guess you don’t read very well, Diana, to go with your poor spelling. I don’t know either, as I stated, so I’m not a friend of his. Based on what I’ve seen from the two of them, I doubt I’d want to be very well acquainted with either. Perhaps you shoulr read my last para from my previous message again, so you can get a beter grasp of where I’m coming from.
As for the spelling lesson, since you say “looser” still applies, I guess you are saying Jenny is “loose”? And you are a friend of hers?
In the end, as you try to stereotype every male who comments negatively about Jenny, you are merely supporting a certain stereotype of women.
By Diana March 18, 2010 at 9:57 pm
Oh Sid – “shoulr” – “beter”? giving me a spelling lesson?
By sid March 18, 2010 at 11:13 pm
There’s a bit of a difference between my typos and your inability to know the difference between “loser” and “looser.” Perhaps I’ll teach you a thing or two about grammar and punctuation, next.
But good job avoiding the real points I made. I’m sure your “loose” friend will take great comfort in knowing you are doing such a good job of defending her “honor.” Don’t forget to tell her to set some of that money aside for therapy for the boys. If she keeps up her revenge tour, they’ll certainly need it.
