Jenny Sanford Tells Dr. Phil Her Next Love Will 'Love Me Back'
By Annie Groer - Politics DailyJenny Sanford wants us to know she's doing fine after divorcing her cheating hubby, South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, and that she might trust a man enough to fall in love again. "I just have to make sure I pick someone who maybe loves me back," she tells Dr. Phil, the TV therapist, in a show airing Thursday. Actually, the former first lady has already found a new beau, and went very public with him in Washington on May 1. Meanwhile, her ex spent the May 8 weekend in the Florida Keys with his "Argentine Soulmate" mistress, reports the Associated Press. It was that affair, including Mark ...
In Line to See Jenny Sanford: Wronged Wives, Straying Hubby
By Mary C. Curtis - Politics DailyCOLUMBIA, S.C. -- Jenny Sanford, the first lady of South Carolina for now, returned to the capital city on Friday night to sign copies of her book "Staying True." Who would brave an uncharacteristic South Carolina snowstorm for a one-on-one encounter? Someone in the same "personal situation," it turns out. Tarnisha Gibson, a 36-year-old military wife, said that Sanford is "trying to find her independence" after a marriage shaken by infidelity – and so is she. Gibson said of Sanford: "I'm getting advice from her and she doesn't even know it." She and hubby "are working it out" after he ...
Out of all the Extramarital Scandals, Public Feels Most Sorry for Elizabeth Edwards
By Bruce Drake - Politics DailyAfter all the recent scandals about extramarital affairs involving John Edwards, Mark Sanford and Tiger Woods, Fox News asked in its latest poll which wife Americans felt most sorry for, and the answer was overwhelmingly for Elizabeth Edwards. Forty-nine percent sympathized with Elizabeth Edwards the most, while 10 percent named Elin Nordegren, Wood's wife, and 5 percent sided with Jenny Sanford. John Edwards, as everyone knows by now, had an extramarital affair with Rielle Hunter and fathered a child with her while his wife was battling cancer; and, Woods had a series of encounters with ...
Details From Jenny Sanford's Book Emerge
By not in system - AOL NewsCHARLESTON, S.C. (Feb. 2) -- South Carolina first lady Jenny Sanford writes in her new book that she got short of breath and later felt unwanted and ugly when she found out about her husband's affair with an Argentine woman. The New York Daily News reported on its Web site Monday that Sanford also writes that one of her sons exclaimed that it's "worse than Eliot Spitzer" when she told them about Gov. Mark Sanford's infidelity. Spitzer is the former New York governor who resigned after acknowledging he was a client of a call-girl ring. ...
Gov. Mark Sanford Chatting Up Congressmen on House Floor
By Emily Miller - Politics DailyRepublican South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford was on the floor of the House of Representatives Thursday talking to GOP congressmen. As a former member of Congress, Sanford is allowed to visit the chamber at will. Among others, Sanford chatted with Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) and Rep. Bill Young (R-Fla.). Sanford has not been seen publicly in Washington, D.C., since the news broke last summer that he lied about his whereabouts to his staff while taking a secret trip to Argentina to meet his lover, Maria Belen Chapur. Sanford's estranged wife, Jenny Sanford, has written a book about her marriage which ...

'Staying True'? Most Marriage Memoirs Do Anything But
By Lizzie Skurnick - Politics DailyMary, I was interested to see your post about the release of Jenny Sanford's memoir being pushed up to February. (Who knew she was writing a memoir?) I'd prefer that it be pushed back a few years, or that it were never written at all. Although you can't make assumptions about what leads anyone to put pen to paper -- perhaps Sanford is a secret memoirist who's been itching to blow the lid off her marriage since the honeymoon -- it seems far more likely that this is yet another contribution to the scorned-wives genre, where the spouse offers insta-insights for the benefit of an enthusiastic ...
Jenny Sanford Memoir to Be Published Ahead of Schedule
By Mary C. Curtis - Politics DailyJenny Sanford's memoir -- "Staying True" -- will be released Feb. 5, well before the planned May publication date. The first lady of South Carolina is nothing if not efficient and, as usual, a few steps ahead of her soon-to-be-ex-husband, S.C. Gov. Mark Sanford. It is expected that the two will be in divorce court when the book is published. "In this candid and compelling memoir, the first lady of South Carolina reveals the private ordeal behind her very public betrayal -- and offers inspiration for anyone struggling to keep faith during life's most trying times," according to the statement ...
Top 5 Most Outrageous Political Videos of 2009
By Emily Miller - Politics DailyPolitics in 2009 was pretty serious business, except when it wasn't. Some serious moments made for amusing parodies; others remind us that there can be an absurd quality to high-profile transgressions, criminal acts, and even death. So, please take a step back from the contentious nature of politics to enjoy some year-end, bipartisan, moments courtesy of YouTube. 1. "Don't Call Me Liz," as re-enacted on Keith Olbermann's show The e-mail chain between Elizabeth Becton (aka "Don't Call me Liz!") -- the scheduler for Rep. Jim McDermott (D-Wash.) – and a Democratic lobbyist's assistant was ...
The Top 15 Winners and Losers of 2009
By Carl M. Cannon - Politics DailyWINNERS LOSERS 1. Barack Obama: Inaugurated as the first African- American president in U.S. history, he inherited two wars, the Great Recession, a Democratic Congress with a pent-up agenda, a liberal base with a litany of unrealistic demands, and a hostile Republican Party – and managed to keep his head above water and his famous cool. 1. Nobel Prize Committee: With friends like the geniuses in Oslo, Obama needs no enemies. Awarding the Peace Prize to Obama before he'd learned where the White House cafeteria is located (not to mention committed 35,000 more ...
