Holy crap.

Jenny Sanford, poor, put-upon, independently wealthy ex-wife of The Appalachian Trail Hiker, was the guest on the Daily Show last night.

She actually said (and meant it) that what she misses the most about living in the governor's mansion is . . . wait for it . . . the slave labor!

You can watch the whole thing here.

No kidding -- The Inmates. She even went into Field Boss language when she spoke of their eagerness to "bath up the doggies real good, Ma'am". Now the dogs are filthy because labor is beneath her and the sons are uncaring and incapable. Memo to the First Lady: Bathing your own dogs is a bonding experience. They learn to trust your touch and they love the towel payoff at the end.

[Molotov]

frankly scarlett, i don't give a fuck.

[Jesus B Ochoa]

Keep the faith. I hear that the Mexicans are bringing a touch of civilization to teh Carolinas.

[snabby]

Jesus, she misses the inmates washing the dogs and taking care of the garden. She complains that now her dogs are dirty. Then she wishes she had inmates at her island house.

What a woman of the people.

[Capt. Bat Guano]

I'll find a special place for Jenny at Capt. Bat Guano's Reeducation Holiday Camp just as soon as that damn revolution gets here.

[Elspeth Ravenwind]

I hope the dogs turn on Prissy Britches Sanford. Would that the dutiful employees sued for custody of the animals if they wanted them.

[psychobroad]

What are those 4 boys--chopped liver? My husband sees children as so much canned labor--he'd never pay someone to do something our kids could do for free. And he'd never force someone to work for free while he had able-bodied kids hanging around the house.

[mothra]

What blew me away was that she didn't take Stewart's cue AT ALL and back off the "I miss inmates doing my work" jabber. She just kept on talking about those great inmates who did all that free work for her. Unbelievable.

[marmoset]

"I'm surrounded by the self-absorbed male."

Good thing Stewart wasn't taking a sip of coffee when she said that.

[watertiger]

psychobroad, you're such a communist.

/snark

[EvilDrPuma]

If she's so fucking independently wealthy, why doesn't she quit her goddamned whining and hire some help?

[tellybelly]

Jenny and Mark Sanford deserved each other is the message I take away from all this.

I hope someone is keeping multiple digital and film copies of every TDS ever recorded, at least since Jon Stewart started hosting, in an abandoned missile silo in Montana because that show WILL be the (almost) daily record of how America fell apart during the first decades of the new millenium.

[distributorcap]

just because she hates her husband doesnt me she still isnt a GOP snob
because she is

[psychobroad]

WT--card-carrying member, baby! :-)

[whaleshaman]

But she's pretty and "slim," so nothing else matters!

LEAVE JENNY ALONE, Y'ALL, SHE HAS TO LIVE AT THE BEACH!

Sullivan's Island after Hugo

[Molotov]

she's actually a repuglican cow under her skin...

[pansypoo]

yes, and her spawn are little republikkklans. guess what lady, you are screwed.

[kate]

She's a bitch, period. I watched that show last night. I noticed also how when Stewart picked up on the inmate labor, but she kept prattling on.

She's attractive, submissive to the patriarchy, shamelessly material and selfish, just what every Republicans cultivate and pride in women.

Which is exactly why when tasked with finding a woman running mate to challenge Hillary, all they can see is a woman like Palin.

[Capt. Bat Guano]

She says that Mark Sanford "stayed true to his principles as governor." Sorry honey but I am not impressed since 99.9% of all Repukes have 0 principles any way, so that makes it a no brainer.

[Shayera]

She's not very self aware is she?
And she's allegedly the political mastermind in that relationship. Wow.

[LizDexic]

She's from Winnetka. People from around Chicago know what that means....rich, snobby and WASP.

[Steverino]

Perhaps the good Captain Bat Guano could put her to work licking the bowls clean and I'm not talking about the dishes... Maybe there's a reason her husband was crying for Argentina after all. Pretty heartless.

[wa ching]

I dug how she kept turning her back to the audience.
Who does she think she is, Miles Davis??!!

[queek]

..."Staying Rogue"?

(At first glance the book cover is to visually identical to Going Rogue.)

[montag]

She may be from Winnetka, but, she has taken to the antebellum South like a duck to water....

[hauksdottir]

I'm surprised that she showed so much nervousness... almost rushing out. Don't these heiresses go to charm school so that they don't swing in their chairs? At least she didn't fidget with her hair.

Somebody in makeup did an excellent job of feminizing/softening her face and adding a bit of color. However, the black over white outfit is too stark a look for someone that thin. Perhaps a cobalt violet or prussian blue (depending upon her eyes) and something to soften the line? The deep rich dark greens will go to black on camera, but will give her face more color. A strong red would be excellent, but she'd have to check it against the studio colors in advance. When selling a book (or whatever), you don't want to look dead... or disappear into the shadows.

I have a face that breaks lenses (it is far better to be behind the camera!!!), but someone who has good bones and good hands can be radiantly beautiful. Look at Katherine Hepburn. Jenny Sanford has a decent smile (better than most of these women). If she excelled at something and was talking about *it*, rather than herself, she could be a lot more attractive and a lot more confident.

And she wouldn't need to be married to a loser and his cohort of enabling women-haters.

I don't have much sympathy, since she had every advantage of a wealthy background. But it doesn't matter if a woman is rich or poor: she ought not stand for being treated as a doormat.

[raceynora]

She was a HORRIBLE interview!

[Mart]

Part bothers me is when she says she admires her husband to sticking to his fiscal conservative policies while in office; like refusing the stimulus mopney before he took it.

[FdeBear]

Why does her book cover look like Sarah Palin's.

[don]

I understand more and more the thinking behind the invention of the guillotine...
