Jenny Sanford blew the whistle

[wilt the stilt]

deductive reasoning

1. probably had access to Mark's personal email- Mark probably had automatic sign in on his oomputer
2. first emails forwarded in Dec. she probably figured it out by his distance and no sex
3. kicked him out 2 weeks ago- found plane reservations in his email
4. gave"I don't know where he is answer"
5. tipped off newspaper on his flight schedule.
6. she is tough as nails

24. Filthy dirty mind

Beat me to it, too.

But to answer your question.... I don't know who the Whistle is, but I'm pretty sure "the Whistle" is not Mark Sanford.

2. Hell hath no fury ...

like a woman scorned?

5. The Airport Was Surely A Tip Off...

I knew someone dropped the dime on him (and he did as well) when the reporter met him at the Atlanta terminal. One could only imagine the loud "oh shit" that went through Sanford's pineapple when he saw her. But this was no lucky chance encounter...the reporter had to had been tipped to the flight (Hartsfield is the "world's busiest")...it's not like staking out the local bus station.

Her stony response...using the "My children" rather than "our" in her response was also a big red flag...reminds me of what I hear divorced people say. Then the revelation of the "separation" spoke even louder. Yes, if things got so bad that he had to move out then trouble had been brewing for a while. Affections scorned can be a powerful motivator.

Lastly, there had to be a tipping point that led to Sanford being exposed. And dare I say, I suspect there's more dirt under that rug. One isn't so publicly humilitated without having made a lot of mess. We still haven't heard from others in this story...the chum is in the water.

Cheers...

6. She is the brains in the marriage. Sanford should watch his step. nt

7. Yeah, she could have deflected a lot of curiosity from the get-go

if she'd just said something like, "My Father's Day present to my husband is to take care of the boys while he has a few days to himself. He called me last night, and already sounds more relaxed." I figured something was up when she struck that "Don't know, don't care" attitude.

8. I read some more on jenny

She's from Chicago and I am married to a Chicagoan. By and large no nonsense women with a great deal of confidence. Straight shooters with no minced words. My parents moved south in the early 70's from NY and they were always amazed at the amount of divorce in the south. I have always suspected a culture of philandering down here. Like in business I always say watch your back when dealing with southerners. Jenny, you should have stuck to your own kind(Northerners)

9. I also read that she was a big player on Wall St when...

they married and that's where all the money came from to finance his campaigns and pay for their oceanside home.

Just cause I read it, doesn't make it so, but sounds about right.

10. What blatant stereotype do you have about Californians?

Your post is one huge broad brush stereotype.

[wilt the stilt]

12. California?

I just related an observation my parents made.

[lunatica]

13. Sorry,

Perhaps I didn't get that you didn't agree with your parents' view.

Peace.

14. She's from a very ritzy suburb of Chicago, which is not the same as being raised in the city...

[wilt the stilt]

20. chicago influence

Hilary is from park ridge, my wife is from Mt.Prospect. it is the overriding culture that I am talking about

[Kalyke]

15. I'm Southern and I don't cheat on my husband.

Broad-brush much?

:eyes:

There is more divorce here because of poverty and abuse - not necessarily because of adultery.

[snooper2]

17. This post is full of all kind of stupid

:eyes:

[Ghost in the Machine]

21. "Like in business I always say watch your back when dealing with southerners."

What an ignorant, bigoted motherfucker you must be. Yeah, please do "stick to your own kind". I've lived in the South all my life and most people I know, when dealing with business, would rather take a man's word and handshake than papers drawn up by a lawyer any day of the week...

Ignorant much?

[undeterred]

22. Most amazing broad brush statment ever posted on DU

Chicago plus suburbs = 7 million people. The women are not all alike.

23. I've been to one World's Fair, a picnic, and a rodeo...

and that's some of the stupidest shit I've ever read on the internets...

25. You deserve all the scorn you're getting for this post

Idiot!

16. First of all, I think we should leave his wife alone. She's been humiliated enough. Second, you're

wrong on #5.

A passenger on the flight down to Buenos Aires called the State newspaper and told them they'd flown out of Atlanta and that the Governor was on the plane with them.

It was a quote in the NYT from an interview with the editor of the paper.

19. My first instinct was to stake out the Atlanta airport

Why only one reporter was there, that's the question to ask of the media. CNN is right there in Atlanta and didn't have a clue. My guess is the media is lazy. (nooooooo, you don't say? :sarcasm: )

There should of been at least a dozen reporters there. But they were too busy checking twitter for their next big scoop.

18. It had to be either the wife or someone on his personal staff.

My guess would be the wife.

26. Sanford has a problem with geography...

He mistook a "landing strip" for the Appalachian Trail.

(Insert Brazilian wax joke here)
