How about you don’t drag your poor wife out on stage like some sort of show dog, while you announce to the world that you aren’t actually a prime example of Americana? I’m looking at you too McGreevy! And Craig! (Larry Craig, not me.)
Wouldn’t it be so much better if they were just like: “Yeah, my wife is staying at her mother’s for a while. We hope to work things out.” It seems so phony to have to stand there and pretend like things are great. What is this, the 1950’s? The committed wife is there to stand by her man, no matter what! Meanwhile she probably wants to rip his throat out. Look! She’s staring right at it, probably gauging her probability of success.

I wonder what motivates these women to “Stand by their man”. If it were me I would come out with him and then start screaming at him as loud as I could.

How dare you! That is a beautiful picture of commitment. Their love is stronger than pride. Of course, I just quote Sade, so my opinion probably means bupkis.

Maybe she decided to stand next to him on purpose. I think it would be even more difficult to admit your wrongs when the person you wronged is standing right next to you.
And really, Spitzer? He kind of looks like Dobby the House Elf to me.

gasp! Hate politics, quelle horror!
Personally, I don’t think it is his neck that she wants to rip out/off.
And Dobby LOL

While I beg to differ with FDot, as Elliot is totally a DILF for me, all politics is posing. The spouse is always there to “show” that they support their partner in his time of disgrace. That they have already made their private peace before this public apology. Too many cans of PR worms open if the spouse is not there.
She is an adult and could certainly have said “no.” But I do feel sorry for her and the kids. What a mess.

Honey, I wouldn’t be standing by his ass. I’d be holding my own press conference from Aruba, telling the world that I was divorcing his ass and suing him for as much alimony as possible, while sipping a margarita and surrounded by large, burly, muscular men in tiny swim trunks.
Seriously.

I don’t think she’s wanting to rip out his throat, I think she’s counting all the money she’s gonna get from this joker, either to stay by him now, or in the divorce.
At least that’s what I’d be thinking.
HUGS…

There are so many larger reasons to hate politics haha.

David - You can’t be serious about your DILF comment!
March 11th, 2008 at 4:31 pm
Amen.

Maybe he likes house elves?
March 11th, 2008 at 5:37 pm
To me it looks like she’s thinking “I’m going to kill you when we get home.” or something like “I could so totally take him in a fight.”

I’m 34, so I can’t quite call him a DILF. But see for yourself: Spitzer is fit!

Oh, Craig. Why do you hate Tammy Wynette?

TED - I had to look up who that was, but once I saw it, I LOLed

For a far-ranging discussion of this topic, I direct you to the comments section of NancyNall.com, under “That Word” and “The First Ladies”. My, my, my.

Now I see the truth, It’s time for me to set myself adrift on the iceberg!!

Oh it makes me gag..i mean…is this the 50’s!?
Why can’t she just walk away? Why do they have to stand there? I wouldn’t.
She should get a nice divorce settlement anyway.

Um, is it possible that she actually knew about the prostitution? Everyone seems to be assuming that she’s just as “shocked” as the public, that she should be offended at her husband’s behaviour, but we don’t know if the couple had an understanding with regard to marital infidelities. If she does love him, perhaps she’s willing to overlook his adultery, because he might still be dedicated husband. More importantly, we don’t know what (or whom) she’s been doing in her spare time. Who’s to say she hasn’t been carrying on her own private affair? Oprah’s already opened our eyes on swingers in suburbia, after all.

This is precisely the reason that I will not vote for Hillary. This whole 1950’s version of wifey wifey makes me sick. Now, if you’ll excuse me I have to go cook dinner for my husband and then get pregnant again.
