CONGRESSMAN, EX-WIFE HEADED TO COURT
U.S. Rep. Mark Sanford and his ex-wife Jenny Sanford – who served as South Carolina’s first lady for eight years – are headed back to court in an effort to resolve lingering issues from their 2010 divorce.
The latest drama stems from a dispute over dollar amounts related to trust funds for two of their four children, according to the Associated Press. No further details were immediately available, although the Sanfords’ eldest two sons Marshall and Landon reportedly have a different financial arrangement regarding their future inheritances than the younger two boys, Bolton and Blake.
Mark Sanford was well on his way to national political stardom five years ago – but his career imploded after he was caught lying about his whereabouts during a visit with his longtime mistress (now fiancee) Maria Belen Chapur in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The governor tearfully copped to the affair at a rambling press conference at the S.C. State House in June 2009 – prompting a months-long scandal that nearly led to his impeachment. Meanwhile Jenny Sanford rushed to turn the whole “woman scorned” thing into a cottage industry – and has proceeded to make life miserable for her ex-husband ever since.
Mark Sanford completed an improbable political comeback in 2013 when he won a special election for the congressional seat he previously held from 1995-2001.

Bravo Foxtrot Delta.
echo 3 November confirms.
SPAWAR… boomerang… 101… 404
“Negative, Ghostrider, the pattern is full…”
Boomerang 101, 404, 901, 909….Palantir counter ops “Admiral Handcuffs”
This is FITS at its lowest level.
I don’t want to know about these peoples’ personal lives, unless it is connected to their public persona, as an elected official…That goes double for their poor children..The victims in all this sleaze.
I WOULD LOVE to SEE FITS disclose any financial arrangements he has had w/ Sanford, either one, since he “officially” left their employ.
I have an e-mail at : http://scdigest.blogspot.com/
If you can give me a tip, on how to avail myself to FITS financial records, I’d follow up on it. YOU need to know who is paying him off…
FITS at its lowest level still beats your blog at its highest.
Liberals will slurp liberals…
Thank’s for proving what I’ve contended all along.
You’re gross, dude. I should come over and slap that shit eating grin off your ugly mug
When I evoke that response from leftwing nutjobs…like you: I have succeeded. http://scdigest.blogspot.com/
Please, please understand this if nothing else: when dealing with a character disordered person like Mark Sanford, you have to draw clear boundaries and have deal-breakers. He can be charming I’m sure, but also highly manipulative, self absorbed, and delusional Jenny is only looking out for her kids and keeping Sanford to his word. I’m sure she would much rather have nothing to do with him, go “NC.” rather than get caught up in his man-child dramas. Smart to keep it in the hands of her lawyer.
You’re mighty flattering of the former Governor’s ex-wife, are you perchance the new “Uncle”.
No. Entitled people like Mark Sanford do not respect the boundaries of others: children, wives, co-workers, and just about anyone else… even the entitled, former mistress Maria Belen Chapur, but lets save our sympathies for the former.
While blathering on about what a great father he is and how spectacular his sons are, look at his actions. They tell all. He will try to weasel out of anything and be full of rationalizations. The rules don’t apply to him. No honor, no integrity… just image management.
No honor, no integrity… just image management describes which politician(s)?…
A. Barack Obama
B.Tom Ervin
C..Nancy Pelosi
D.Harry Reid
E.ALL THE ABOVE
Please vote! :-)
Character Disordered people come in all flavors and varieties and are not confined to any political parties. The entitlement, surrounding sycophants, power, and grandiosity of political life act as big magnet for these types.
Sorry, left out other disgraced and disgraceful POLS!
F. Richard Eckstrom
G. Ken Ard
H. Bob Peeler
I. Bobby Harrell
J. Nikki Haley
K. John Courson
L. Jean Toal
M. Bill Clinton
N. Hillary Clinton
O. Bill Clyburn
P. Ronnie Cromer
Please vote!;-)
Mike Gulledge needs to stop hiding behind fake posts!
All of the above (E)
Do you write about anyone other than Ervin, or is that outside your pay grade?
FUCK YOU!!!! :-)))))))))))
America set the tone when Clinton was President. Mark should take care of his kids properly and the rest of us should stay out of their business. I am disappointed in Mark and hold Jenny in the highest esteem. Get of their bacls and let them settle this.
Who is running against Sanford in SC1 in November? Nobody!!???
If anyone is considering it may I suggest the following? :
.
Obtain a copy of the ” South Carolina Democrat Party/Socialist Petition Signatures For Sale Manual” that the T-Rav and Tom Ervin PAID “volunteers” :-) apparently used to obtain 37,000 signatures.
That should project to about 2% of the electorate in November.
Can you believe that Sanford isn’t even running in November??????!!!!!@11!! CONSPIRACY
Sorry, I love all Republicans, even our incompetent Governor Haley!
I’ve sinned and need serious help. Just like Nikki, I have a hard time with the truth and all of the spin I’ve written has made me incurably dizzy and drunk, placed me in a total stupor.
Stick to Tom please.
Sandi, I love u for staying on the bottom how ever I want to fuck you. Marry me please !
Does anyone actually care what either of these two people are doing to each other? Can’t we just take an antibiotic and make the bacterial infection go away?
“Can’t we just take an antibiotic and make the bacterial infection go away?”
Not sure about her but he is apparently one of those Superbugs that is antibiotic resistant . .

“…before things start falling off.”
Always thought the divorce records were court sealed because it listed the names of his women friends. Guess it was about money instead.
Wonder if Belen is high maintenance or Mark wants everything settled so the lovebirds can finalize the wedding plans.
Belen is high maintenance emotionally and physically but doubtful Sanford will ever be truly responsible for either. Rather like his treatment of Jenny. If anything, it was Jenny in a lop-sided relationship trying to maintain Sanford emotionally and physically, and financially and care for four young sons, with little to no reciprocation over time.
Gosh.I guess sitting on your fat ass all day watching Dr.Pill , Oprah ,Whoopie and Rosie gives you the right to comment and give opinion on the personal lives of those in your community. Try getting a life. You sound jealous of Mark.
I deal in the facts and don’t watch TV. Real life is stranger than fiction…. Thankfully my ass is not fat but it is a shame for all concerned (family, friends, constituents) that Sanford is a fat head and a skinny assed weasel.
Facts? You ain’t posted one yet and are a ‘poster child’ for why Sanford was elected in SC1.
You idiots never learn.
Cheat much? You are very defensive.
What does Tom Ervin say about this?
Sanfraud’s re-election had to have been rigged, he would not been elected any other way.
Democrats are the only ones that rig and steal elections. Just a fact. Sanford won because the voters were scared shitless of Obama and Pelosi.
Haley and Graham will win because voters are scared to death of Obama , Pelosi and Radical Islam.
stupid and scared
Democrats are the only ones that rig and steal elections.
“The party I don’t like is the only one doing bad stuff!”
It’s SC baby !
But , he’s too stoooooooopid. Remember?
Not when your opponent was “kohl-bear”
Slow news day obviously.
C’mom Sic! “… Jenny Sanford rushed to turn the whole “woman scorned” thing into a cottage industry – and has proceeded to make life miserable for her ex-husband ever since.” That’s a cheap shot even for you!
Bobby Harrell can beat Sanford anytime he decides to run against Sanford. Bobby will go to D.C. as SC-1’s Representative on the first try when he decides to run. Bobby will get a new prosecutor in Manning’s Court.
If that were true why didn’t he run in the special election when Sanford would be at his absolute weakest? Surely the pay, benefits, prestige and back room deals are far better at the federal level.
He has a day job? If Harrell ever leaves the statehouse, he could take Sanford’s job.
Interesting article and comments on AOL News. Most comments question why was Sanford reelected and many were sympathetic to Jenny.
Headline should read: Sanford v. His Obligations. Sanford already spent a bunch of former marital assets and taxpayer $$$ on his dalliances. No doubt the former Mrs. Is trying to secure what was promised to her sons before he buys an expensive love-nest, vacation, whatever, for his honey-bunny.
His testimony to the judge was lame. Now he claims funding for his sons (show me the moola) but didn’t advise his wife or her lawyer despite their inquiries.
Gosh. You seem to have more information than the Family Court. In my opinion your ISP should be subpoenaed from FITS by Sanford’s attorney and you could help explain things to the the judge.
The character disordered behavior is very cliched. They operate using the same deceits, words, and actions, time and again. Every time Sanford opens his mouth it is just another gambit for sympathy, admiration, and attention. Mrs. Sanford’s attorney was wise to hold his feet to the fire and use whatever leverage available to put this matter to rest. I applaud Mrs. Sanford advocacy of her kids and for not rolling over despite peoples’ smears of a “woman scorned.” Typical push back from a cheater.
Sic’s “woman scorned” shot was low. She and her children WERE scorned. If anyone deserves to be squeezed dry for their indiscretions it’s Sanford. He is such a paragon of the “Values Party.”
So, Sanford screws up and all Republicans are trash, got it. I’m curious, how come that doesn’t apply to Democrats?
The Democrats have plenty of Sanford-types on their side too. The difference? They do not constantly tout themselves as the “Family Values” party nor do they kowtow to Protestant religious zealots.
Republicans in general take it as a given that Democrats are fucked-up assholes. They have a hard time admitting fucked-uppetry and ass-holishness on the part of Republicans in office. Case in point: Nikki Haley.
Fuck those little brats, they can earn their own money and not grow up as trust fund babies like T-Rav.
College Funding.
Make them take out loans or go to work just like everyone else.
She can’t let him go. Fatal attraction. She has always been a put-upon victim of her public position. The only thing worse for her is not to have a public position. Thin lips. Cold heart. Even colder…. No Skyls.
“”Jenny Sanford testified she and two of her attorneys have emailed
Sanford a number of times in recent months about the trust account
issue. “To date he has refused to respond to any email from me or anyone
else,” she said, adding her ex-husband has not put money into the
accounts…””
“But Mark Sanford testified he has also sent his ex-wife
dozens of emails, asking to discuss not only the trust funds, but other
issues including visitation. “There has been a pattern of taking me to
court about issues that could be resolved by reasonable people,” he told
the judge.”
“The Republican congressman said he has a stipulation
in his will that the younger children will get money to equalize the
accounts and that his two state retirement accounts will also go to
them. He said he had not told his former wife about the provisions.
He added the boys also receive money from operations at his family farm in Beaufort County.”
It’s obvious that there is no communication between Mark and Jenny or if there is one, it is a poor one.
According to her book she said Mark would tell her what he wanted her to know. Apparently going to court was the best way or the only way for her to know if he was fullfiling his part of the divorce obligations.
I think it all boils down to Mark Sanford is a jerk.
Apparently he has taken steps to equalize the boys’ trusts — 1 percenter problem, btw — but he just didn’t tell Jenny.
Well, why the fuck not? You KNOW she runs to the media with significant enough issues. You know you are SUPPOSED to tell her, and the court.
But he is a self-absorbed jerk. His monomania has taken a new turn with his “redemption” theme, the new King David. But it’s still just self obsession.
Isn’t Jenny heir to millions as a descendant of Skil Tools? Why doesn’t she fund the trusts? She’s as cheap as she claims Mark is.
And wouldn’t he just love it if she did? He fired her from that job when he cheated and broke the marriage vows.
Crumbled cookie, just as sweet, but not his treat.
