ABANDONMENT ISSUES

Mark Sanford Disappears, Returns, Makes Out With Ex-Wife

by Lauri Apple  

Drama Queen.Yesterday The State, which is the New York Times of Columbia, S.C., asked one of the pertinent and perpetually relevant political questions of our time: Yo where Mark Sanford at? The question– which sparked a bloggin’ frenzy — for it was a sparking thing — arose after America’s Governor of Sexting failed to tell the press and his lieutenant governor why he didn’t show up for work on Monday. He’s really into abandonment, isn’t he?

Given Sanford’s (not criminal!) Problem Behavior during last year’s Summer of Soulmating, people made assumptions about hiking, broads, etc. As it turns out, he probably did not hop aboard any taxpayer-funded planes to leave the country this time around — instead, he spent “most of the Father’s Day weekend” with his four mini-me’s and taking a little “personal time” to build some coffins, dig some holes–you know, putter.

Oh, and then on Tuesday night he went and showed up at a Nikki Haley victory hootenanny and made out with his ex-wife, Jenny. It was like old times! Except that now, kissing Jenny Sanford is a “forbidden love.” Oooh, soulmate-lady’s gonna be pissed. [The State]

She has no use for him. She also appears to walk like a Longshoreman.

chascates June 23, 2010 at 9:45 am

The course of true love never did run smooth.

TGY June 23, 2010 at 9:46 am

Here’s a man who can’t even be faithful to his infidelities.

KidCrucial June 23, 2010 at 9:48 am

Oh no he didn’t! gurrrllll! ::snap::snap::

JMP June 23, 2010 at 9:48 am

So first, he cheats on his wife; now he cheats on his soulmate with her. See, mysterious Argentinian, once a cheater always a cheater; you can’t trust him.

AngryBlakGuy June 23, 2010 at 9:51 am

…he finally realized that you visit your girlfriend on Mother’s Day and not Father’s Day!

Monsieur Grumpe June 23, 2010 at 9:51 am

Careful Jenny, you don’t know where those lips have been.

Katydid June 23, 2010 at 9:52 am

As someone said here not long ago, and I’m paraphrasing, who hasn’t had a booty call to the ex? And, eww, Mark Sanford now disgusts me. That picture of him kissing his wife makes me shudder.

x111e7thst June 23, 2010 at 9:55 am

I just can’t figure the good governor out. I mean look at that picture, it is so obviously the picture of a man who feels very comfortable with a dick in his mouth. Yet he is forever making the sexxxy-time with the ladies.

Tube City June 23, 2010 at 9:58 am

That was barely a peck on the cheek. She continued talking to another man, turning her side or back to Sanford. Then she lurched to a table, picked up her bag and left. Talk about quickies! Not exactly promising…

Prommie June 23, 2010 at 9:58 am

[re=604564]Buzz Feedback[/re]: At the very least, she walks like she has been doing some extreme “deep water drilling” with several longshoremen, now that the moratorium has been lifted.

Governor “teenager in love” is kinda cute, isn’t he, what with the whole Junior High School crush behavior and all? You know he writes the Argentinian Firecracker poetry about how God wants them to be all fucking and sucking and shit.

Prommie June 23, 2010 at 10:00 am

[re=604578]Katydid[/re]: Hell, once a relationship reaches a certain vintage age, your current mate becames, simultaneously, your ex, and all sex consists of booty-calls to the ex. Just re-visiting the scene of the crime, out of nostalgia, mostly.

Katydid June 23, 2010 at 10:00 am

[re=604578]Katydid[/re]: Ha ha, I hadn’t seen the video until just now, I only saw the still, Jenny really gives him the cold shoulder, makes him look like a fool for going in for the kiss, and she does it the Southern way, not by yelling or screaming, but by smiling and then getting the fuck outta Dodge.

Southern women know how to put a man in his place with a smile on their face when he deserves it. That woman is all right by me.

facehead June 23, 2010 at 10:00 am

Argentina should sue him.

Katydid June 23, 2010 at 10:02 am

[re=604584]Prommie[/re]: The governor is not the first man I’ve known who fucked up his entire life with an affair and then felt very fucking sorry for himself when there were consequences not to his liking.

Mumbletypeg June 23, 2010 at 10:02 am

I feel badly for those poor confused little Sanford sons.

Katydid June 23, 2010 at 10:04 am

[re=604586]Prommie[/re]: Out of nostalgia maybe, and out of safety too, I think. Not physical safety so much as emotional safety….you’re expecting absolutely nothing from them, and you know what to expect sexually. It’s really dumb, when you think about it. Better to get a non-ex fuck buddy. Which reminds me, my 78-year-old mom knows what a fuck buddy is. EWWW.

harry palmer June 23, 2010 at 10:06 am

“As it turns out, he probably did not hop aboard any taxpayer”

This sentence has so much more potential if you stop there. Jenny doesn’t pay taxes? A taxpayer hopped aboard the guv? He probably didn’t hop aboard any taxpayer, but we can’t confirm (and it would be irresponsible not to speculate)? Etc etc.

Clancy_Pants June 23, 2010 at 10:06 am

If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still look for me?
For I must be traveling on, now,
‘Cause there’s too many bitches I’ve got to see.
But, if I stayed here with you, girl,
Things just couldn’t be the same.
‘Cause I’m as free as a bird now,
And this bird you can not change.
Lord knows, I can’t change..

BigDupa June 23, 2010 at 10:06 am

At least he’s not a homo.

MissyLissa June 23, 2010 at 10:09 am

Why is there no “Yo, Where Mark Sanford at” iphone app?

McDuff June 23, 2010 at 10:10 am

Jenny to Mark, smiling, whispered with unreadable lips while quickly moving away towards other guest: “Fuck off, hiker.”

Cape Clod June 23, 2010 at 10:13 am

Poor guy. I feel kinda bad for him…No I don’t. I hope he rots in Hell. That’s what I meant.

Prommie June 23, 2010 at 10:15 am

[re=604590]Katydid[/re]: Men, sheesh, can’t live with them, can’t live without them, amiright? Does it to you?

Katydid June 23, 2010 at 10:22 am

[re=604603]Prommie[/re]: A good man is hard to find, but a hard man is even better.

user-of-owls June 23, 2010 at 10:22 am

[re=604588]facehead[/re]: They certainly have grounds on the basis of copyright infringement at a minimum. Argentina long ago claimed sole rights to the use of the term “desaparecido.” Plus, when you got disappeared there, you didn’t reappear. The Madres are seriously pissed off.

norbizness June 23, 2010 at 10:23 am

Isn’t a newspaper for South Carolinians like a pair of driving gloves for a cat who isn’t Toonces?

Prommie June 23, 2010 at 10:27 am

[re=604612]Katydid[/re]: Have you ever considered through-hiking the appalachian trail? Or would you prefer to segment-hike?

Oldskool June 23, 2010 at 10:32 am

Kind of like the old “Dallas” set in Charleston. Throw in some vampires and we’re talking another highly rated yet horrible tv series.

weejee June 23, 2010 at 10:34 am

Haz SoCarolina Repubic politics been hijacked by Bollywood? This can’t be real. Que the filmi music.

Hot_Carl June 23, 2010 at 10:45 am

Man, that was an ultra-awkward exchange they had in the video. She looked visibly uncomfortable.

Mahousu June 23, 2010 at 10:47 am

CNN coyly notes: Filed under: Jenny Sanford • Mark Sanford • Nikki Haley
Now if only they had used little ♥s instead of •s. (This probably won’t come out right …)

PsycGirl June 23, 2010 at 11:01 am

[re=604590]Katydid[/re]: Of course, he probably thought Jenny had gotten the memo about standing by your man as he repented on camera. Turns out she got the memo, ripped it up and set fire to the scraps.

rastignac June 23, 2010 at 11:13 am

[re=604575]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: Hey, have not seen you around in a long time. Were you off somewhere with Mark Sanford?

Prommie June 23, 2010 at 11:31 am

[re=604661]PsycGirl[/re]: He was hoping he’d get the Mrs. Senator Vitter deal? Of course, Vitter at least didn’t hold press conferences in which he tearfully begged for understanding because, you see, he fucked around because he is so madly in love with the Other Woman, so its OK. Nope, Vitter never claimed to have some deep, mystical, magical bond with his diaper-whores. That right there, I think, is where Sanford went wrong. Makes sense to me, does it to you?

PsycGirl June 23, 2010 at 12:06 pm

[re=604706]Prommie[/re]: I was thinking of the Mrs. Eliot Spizter deal, but yeah, it does to me. Maybe Sanford didn’t realize that calling the other woman his soulmate might be a deal breaker? Although I think Sanford went wrong when he unzipped his pants thinking no one would be the wiser.

just pixels June 23, 2010 at 12:12 pm

It’s part of his duty as King of South Carolina to impart his divine kisses on subjects. I hope Nikki remembers this rule when she becomes Queen. Hubba, hubba. For some face time with Nikki, I’ll move to Charleston.

GOPCrusher June 23, 2010 at 12:45 pm

Mark Sanford is one of the few people in SC that hasn’t claimed to have sex with Naughty Nikki.

Rush June 23, 2010 at 1:41 pm

“Yo where Mark Sanford at”? Since when did Wonkette turn into MTV Gangsta.

AngryBlakGuy June 23, 2010 at 5:01 pm

[re=604678]rastignac[/re]: …lol, yes we were off hiking and camping! And other heterosexual stuff like that!!!

NYNYNY June 23, 2010 at 8:19 pm

Ah, maybe I missed a previous post Laurie, but you’ve skirted the real item here: Sanford has already been caught meeting Maria in Virginia, and admitted it to press questions recently. How ’bout that… Yo

S.Luggo June 24, 2010 at 12:22 am

[re=604583]Tube City[/re]: Personally, I treasure my personal time. It’s when I can go out for some Argentinian.

[re=604583]Tube City[/re]:
“Then she lurched to a table, picked up her bag and left.” She’d discovered that she had left her Glock at home, under the Sham-Wow. Careless.

Apple: You’re still from Johnstown. You will always be from Johnstown. Block that.
