Scorned Woman Scorecard

It’s definitely not Stand By Your Man Month as Mark Sanford’s wife and Bernard Madoff’s mistress join Elizabeth Edwards in going public to take whacks at the cheating hearts in their lives.

After throwing out her lovesick husband, Jenny Sanford is posing for Vogue and telling an interviewer that the South Carolina governor, with whom she was not “madly in love” when she married him, “has got some issues that he needs to work on, about happiness and what happiness means…I think when a lot of men get to this midpoint in life, they start asking questions that they probably should have asked a long time ago.”

Meanwhile, a book by a married woman who had a fling with him reveals that Madoff, who was a powerhouse in grabbing other people’s money, including her own, was otherwise “not well endowed” and a nervous lover to boot, avoiding her embrace in a hotel elevator on their first tryst for fear of being caught by surveillance cameras.

Such comedowns follow Elizabeth Edward’s book about her husband’s affair while using her terminal illness as an asset in his run for president and the news this week that he is ready to admit paternity of the child he fathered with the other woman.

    Elizabeth. Kick him to the curb and take him for all his money for your children. Please do it before the other woman gets a hold of it.

    He is a scumbag.

    Not bad for a 47 year old woman. Sanford is just nuts…

    I have trouble feeling sorry for any looser who cheats on their spouse. I believe they deserve whatever they get in the long run. She needs to take all his money that she can get too.

    Why is it that only Muslims and Monarchs can dump their ugly hag wife for a younger better looking version? Are we men not the King of Our castles too? We men know what we need and we know we can get it with a goofy boyish smile. No attachment necessary, but it does take TWO to tango so what does that say about women? Some of them simply can’t hang onto their men very well is what it says to me.

    Myself, I just find it appalling that these highly personal issues are public fodder. There is very little dignity to any of it, and all parties look petty and vindictive.

  7. DLS says:

    He's an idiot. But why did she marry him, if she didn't love him madly? Another case of poor judgment?

  8. DLS says:

    “Sanford is just nuts…”

    Hopefully he's also dead when it comes to getting to the White House (some people actually saw him as a future candidate).

  9. DLS says:

    Ms. Edwards should look at the bright side. At least John-Boy and his Smile didn't leave her like Newt Gingrich has done in one or two similar instances.

    Father_Time — You just can't help yourself from making the most offensive comment on the board, can you?
