Less than forty-eight hours after winning election to the U.S. Congress – and less than 24 hours after assuming office – U.S. Rep.-elect Mark Sanford was scheduled to face a Charleston County family court judge on allegations that he has habitually trespassed on his ex-wife’s property in violation of their 2010 divorce decree.
Wait … what?
Welcome to South Carolina politics, people. And if anybody knows the political price of a contempt of court charge, it’s Sanford’s former Democratic rival Elizabeth Colbert-Busch – whose mug shot from a 1988 contempt of court arrest was released to the public a few days before Tuesday’s special election.
Fortunately for Sanford, he has been spared from having to attend this hearing – and spared from a possible contempt charge that could have led to jail time. How come? According to WCBD TV-2 (NBC – Charleston, S.C.) the former governor his ex-wife Jenny Sanford have resolved their differences out of court.
Apparently the resolution was reached after Jenny Sanford’s efforts to keep television cameras out of the proceedings were rebuked.
Sanford’s trespassing problem nearly doomed his candidacy after his ex-wife’s lawyers confirmed court documents that were (cough) mysteriously leaked to the press three weeks ago. Why’d these documents get leaked? Because Jenny was apparently pissed off that her ex-husband exposed two of their children to his mistress-turned-fianceé at a Republican runoff party on April 2.

“Because Jenny was apparently pissed off that her ex-husband exposed two of their children to his mistress-turned-fianceé at a Republican runoff party on April 2.”
Seriously dude, do you actually know this?
I’m not saying it couldn’t be true, but don’t you think it’s remotely possible that Sanford’s ex just doesn’t want the ole two timer slinking around the house uninvited?
Can’t blame Jenny for being creeped out at seeing a mug like his on her property unannounced.

now go away Jenny…
now go away Jenny…
Last week Jenny’s lawyers were dealing with what Patty Loveless would call a lying, cheating, cold deadbeating, two-timing, double dealing mean mistreating, loving heart
This week Jenny’s lawyers are dealing with a sitting United States Congressman with a wife-to-be who wears Donna Karan
Case Closed
same difference.

Jenny is just a bitter vindictive woman who’s blood is poisoned with hate. That is quite salient.
As to the Charleston County Family Court, I could tell you stories with rock solid evidence as to how out of Order several of those judges (past and present) really are. Make no mistake about it, it is a corrupt mess. Lawyers that practice before it are afraid to put l these rogue judges in out state in their places and file complaints against them because, as one told me, “we would get black balled by the judges and their attorney friends.”:
So you’re saying that ECB was victimized by one of these “out of order” judges?
What’s salient is she is a woman brave enough to carry on while her former husband continues his childish blather and petty annoyances, raise her kids, contribute in the workplace, and be a patron to charities and causes she holds dear while doing her best to stay under the radar despite the scandal. And, she does all this by not enlisting a married man to prop up her ego.
“Jenny is just a bitter vindictive woman who’s blood is poisoned with hate.”
If so, we (and the nation) will have plenty more entertainment to come.

I KNEW HE WOULD GET AWAY WITH IT !!
It’s one of the benefits of being a congressman!
Uh, he admitted to it and paid 5K in court and lawyers fees b/c she didn’t want cameras in the court room – that’s not getting away with it. And if he trespasses again, he’ll have to go to court and she can introduce his past violations as evidence against him.
Given what we know about this nut, I’m betting it won’t be long before we’re dealing with cell phone flashlight-gate again. Dude can’t help himself.
He’s going to be too busy in his DC office bringing good jobs to the Lowcountry, voting for lower taxes and plotting to oust the traitor Boehner!
He’s got enough on his plate!
Though the fact that he’s going to see the boys frequently will no doubt be awkward and will keep the gossip magazines in Charleston flying off the shelves.
CANT THEY WORK SOMETHING OUT ?
Wes, stop using all caps. It makes you look like Big T.
Boehner will have him neutered before he even leaves South Carolina.
You knew he would get away with it, as in he did it and just didn’t get in trouble?
Nice slip there Wes.

If you want to see what the average Sanford voter looks like, check out the dude in the hat with the pack of Marlboros.
Looks a lot like myself. I’m guessing you would look much like the one in the lower left hand corner.
No, she’s a Sanford voter too, the “waiting for the money shot” facial expression is a dead giveaway.
Suppose if he was black it would be ok

This was probably her last resort to tell Mark to stay away just in case he did not win the election. Now that he’s won, she need not worry about his coming over uninvited. Mark seems to be very bold and would do what he pleases as indicated during the campaign, stopping people especially women and asking questions. His confidence with the opposite sex is restored. In spite of the fact that Jenny did not want Mark to run, it actually worked out better for her as he will be so busy in Wash DC with his job and the new social life. Jenny is not envious of Belen as matter of fact she wanted Mark to keep his relationship with her. One more thing there were many times Jenny could have reconciled with him, but she did not want to. Certainly hope everyone is happy and will move on including me as I’m getting tired of this real life soap opera.
Just one more thing, Mark may have been lonely and wanted to be in a home atmosphere. It is so much better than being cooped in an apartment. Now he’ll be too busy to be lonesome.
Exactly right. Once he is married to his soul mate, Jenny can ring up MBC anytime he strays on her property and tell HER that she better rein in her wandering penis. Hispanic woman can be great enforcers. Irish woman are more verbal/plain speaking but lantinas spurned!/! Get out the knives, brother! What fun!!!!
The soap opera is about to go national LOL !
All those boring DC reporters who cover congressional hearings and meetings now have Mark Sanford and his Argentinian mistress in town !
It will certainly brighten things up for them and they won’t be able to resist writing articles and following him around !
Sanford of course loves the attention and no doubt will keep them interested and use this profile to his political advantage ]to hopefully push the Republicans in a more conservative direction.

There was no doubt they would settle.No way would he want girlfriend to know how many times he had stalked his ex. Jenny Sanford may now find some peace.

This just in:
CHARLESTON, S.C. (The Borowitz Report)—Former South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford’s stunning upset in a special congressional election on Tuesday served as an inspiration to liars across the state and beyond, prominent members of the lying community said tonight.
“In America, liars are always made to feel bad about ourselves, as if what we’re doing is wrong,” said Harland Dorrinson, fifty-seven, a liar from suburban Charleston. “Mark Sanford’s victory tonight is a victory for the lying lifestyle.”
Carol Foyler, thirty-six, a liar from Myrtle Beach, echoed those sentiments: “For the millions of dishonest children across America, tonight Mark Sanford has given them hope that someday, they can be somebody.”
At his victory rally in Charleston, the former governor acknowledged the liars in the audience and said that his victory sent an important message: “Every lie, no matter how big or small, has value.”
“As your Governor, I abused your trust. And as God is my witness, as your congressman, I will abuse it again,” he said, to thunderous applause.
Mr. Sanford, who had been behind in the polls in the waning weeks of the race, owed much of his last-minute surge to the support of the lying community, exit polls showed.
According to those exit polls, Mr. Sanford held a three-to-one lead among voters who described themselves as liars, cheaters, or sleazebags.
Furthermore, the polls showed, those same voters felt that Mr. Sanford’s opponent, Elizabeth Colbert Busch, did not have the lying experience necessary to serve in Congress.
