Real Conservative Housewives

I really have to admire Jenny Sanford, the wife of South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford, and for how she is handling her husbands seemingly, ongoing, never ending soap opera on his tryst with his Argentinian soul mate. How she is standing up to the "love story" of her husbands.

Why do I admire her? Because she is doing what every woman should do in this situation. She is not thinking of her husbands political career or his standing. She's putting her family and her boys first, and she's dumping his sorry, teary eyed a**. She is showing the difference between conservative housewives, and "progressive" ones.

She's dumping him and letting him stand alone. She's not coddling to him and to the media. She's not like these weak women with low esteem who, after their husband is caught with the other woman, will go out there at the press conference holding his hand and looking at him with love and respect.

Take for example Dina McGreevey, "wife" of former New Jersey governor James McGreevey. Yes, he was caught having an affair alright, but unlike Mrs. Sanford, her husband was having an affair with a man. But, there she was, standing up on that podium, holding his hand and being there to support him, in his time of need. This is a time where she should of been selfish and thought of herself. But no, for some reason she had to be manipulated and do what she did. After he lied to her every day of their marriage, using her as a "beard".

Just what has that gotten her today?

Another example is Silda Spitzer, wife of the ex-governor of New York. He was caught using the family funds for high priced call girls. Not only was Silda publicly humiliated by her husband, but her life was endangered with every visit with every prostitute Spitzer was with in this day of AIDS and STD's. However there also was she, standing in front of the media frenzy, side by side with her straying hubby, helping to put on the front.

But you also have to look who these progressive ladies have as their mentor, none other than the wife of the "philanderer-in-chief", William Jefferson Clinton. Yes, there she is, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, the most powerful woman in the world besides Oprah, and who was even proclaimed by the media as the "smartest woman in the world." But there she was, right after Bill admitted, before a Monday Night Football game, that he cheated on Hillary with Monica Lewinsky. There she was the next day, walking hand in hand with Bill, and they even forced little Chelsea into the fiasco, walking to Marine One; on their way to start "healing" at Camp David.

Healing? Yeah right, Bill was healing after having every object that was not nailed down thrown at him.

This is the difference between conservative wives and liberal ones. Conservative wives will not take the crap, while the liberal ones want to wallow in the drama. Maybe all these moronic women will get together and have their own reality series on television. Right after Dancing with the Stars.

And the price they will pay is with their dignity.
