Jenny Sanford, the wife of South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford -- whose lurid love affair with Argentine divorcee Maria Belen Chapur became public in June -- has struck back in a new interview, in which she candidly told Vogue magazine: “I have learned that these affairs are almost like an addiction to alcohol or pornography.
