A Virtual High Five Salute To Jenny Sanford
Jenny Sanford is the wife of the Governor of South Carolina. Her husband, Governor Mark . Sanford has been the subject of immense media scrutiny after he dropped off the face of the earth to rush to Buenos Aires to see his mistress.
I hereby send out a Virtual High Five to Mrs. Sanford. She is to be admired for doing the right honorable thing. She still, out of respect, kept quiet. This shows courage and true grit. The fact that the man apparently asked for permission to see his mistress shows the total disdain he has for everything that he supposedly espoused to. Mrs. Sanford basically told the world that she did not care what happened to him. She still had the courage to still keep the door open. She, in my view, is a true "tiger lady". I was almost driven to tears when I read the story of Mrs. Sanford showing off her son's latest achievement in school.
What is it about such men that makes them forget to do the right thing? I continue to wonder about someone who probably owes his success to his wife, is the mother of his children and has been a true "soulmate" to have betrayed her in such a manner. She was too gracious to him to have just asked him to leave. I can't even imagine crossing such a redline, ever.
Mr. Sanford has a lot of soul searching to do. America is a land of second chances. Richard Nixon was forgiven, Dick Morris came back and Marv Albert too. If Mr. Sanford had the guts, he would resign, rebuild his life and go on for the sake of his boys. Someone once said to me that once you are a parent, it is not about you anymore. It is all about them. Mr. Sanford forgot that in his search for a "soulmate". Of all the hysteria in the press, I view it to be the greatest tragedy of all.
