Political Wives and Why I love/hate them

We all know those women. Y'know the ones who stand by their husbands' side as he tells the world he opted to screw a younger, prettier woman than them. Yes you do know 'em. Lemme give you a quick list to refresh your memory: Hillary Rodham Clinton, Elizabeth Edwards, Darlene Ensign, and more recently Silda Wall Spitzer. Ah, your memory has returned...now it's time to shake things up. I present to you Jenny Sanford.

I like Jenny Sanford. She is the first political wife I have seen who has not only stood up to her husband but outright beat him at his own game. Well honestly it is to be expected seeing that she is the one who ran his campaign for governor and basically won him the seat. This woman is much different from the average political wife. She doesn't play by the rules, in fact she completely ignores them and makes up her own as she goes along.

Jenny Sanford didn't take the BS her husband was feeding her and I appreciate that greatly.I am young and inexperienced in these matters but I know one thing for sure...no way would I be standing up next to my (soon-to-be ex)husband while he's admitting to an affair with another woman. In fact I don't think he would be standing either seeing as I probably would take an Elin Woods route and smack him upside the head with a golf club (my assessment of that situation coming later ). Anyway back to Jenny. She has a memoir coming out in May and I will probably buy it as she is currently my new political idol. I didn't buy Lizzie Edwards' book because of her BS about forgiving and moving on blah blah blah. Sweetie the way I see things, he screwed some blond bimbo with a camera who may or may not have given birth to his child. And personally I am going with may have until someone else provides me with solid irrefutable scientific proof that it ain't his kid. Since he can't make up for that (in my eyes anyway) it would probably be better to have him kicked out of the house for a few days then maybe let him back in 'cause you feel sorry for him.

Jenny Sanford is awesome. She stood her ground and told off her ungrateful bastard of a husband. So I congratulate you on your new freedom as well as wish you well in your political and personal future.

As for Mark...go hike the (real) Appalachian trail.
