Jenny Sanford spoke to the Associated Press:

South Carolina first lady Jenny Sanford says she warned her husband not to see his mistress before a trip last week and was shocked he met her in Argentina anyway.

Jenny Sanford told The Associated Press that she discovered Gov. Mark Sanford's affair in January when she found a letter from him to the other woman. She said she told him to end the affair and he agreed to.

She said that when the governor told her recently he needed time alone to write, she specifically warned him not to visit the mistress. She was shocked to learn this week that he'd gone to Argentina to do just that.

After watching her graceful, grounded and dignified handling of the press mob in this clip, I'm starting to think Mark Sanford is the one who should go into seclusion on Sullivan's Island and let his wife take over running the state.
