Stand by your man?

Jenny Sanford, the wife of cheating South Carolina Governor who took off to Argentina to visit his mistress, is fast turning into a new role model for Gen X women. Mrs Sanford, 46, told reporters that she will “not only survive” her husband’s very public infidelity, but “thrive”. When asked about his on-going political career, the former investment banker who refused to stand by the Governor when he ‘fessed up to his week of debauchery, said simply: “His career is not a concern of mine. He is going to have to worry about that.” You get the impression that she will indeed thrive. My bet is that while Mrs Sanford’s strong stance in letting her husband face the music in public alone will win her plaudits, she’ll be criticised by more strident feminists arguing she should have given her wayward hubby the boot. Me? I like her.
