Albany has been inefficient and corrupt for years. The audacity that both NY GOP and Dem's have taxing the crap out of NYer's is just appalling. NY is an expensive state to live in, from cradle to grave. If this man used taxpayer money to fund his trysts, then he should be held accountable. I agree with the following: <blockquote>Ombre Rose said: On March 11th, 2008 at 1:05 am, cabrerski said: … Just once I would like the injured party to wallop the perp during the press conference. … ME, TOO!!! I hope she MORE than makes up for it when she gets to her lawyer’s office in the morning!</blockquote> This is <strong>the</strong> absolute worse thing to happen to a married woman (well, except in Mrs. McGreevey's case her husband ending up cheating on her with a gay man). Spitzer not only wantonly destroyed his marriage but his family. The trust is gone and the last thing Mrs. Spitzer should be doing is "standing by her man." It smacks of PR calculation to present a united front if nothing else and also holds true for other political wives like Mrs. Vitter and Mrs. Craig. It's almost as if someone is telling Silda Spitzer that in order to save her husband's career she must stand by him. What she <strong>should</strong> be thinking about is getting tested for STD's or HIV or both. I'm surprised nobody has brought this up. I'm even more surprised that she would even want to be in close proximity to a man she trusted for 20 years, a man who paid for sex, and who shared his body (and any diseases) with her. As a woman, if my husband had done this to me (and I'm married) I would have left him and taken any children we had together with me... after kicking him where the sun don't shine. I would then file for a divorce and take him to the cleaners. I grew up with infidelity in my own family and watched a beloved sister-in-law's marriage implode because her husband cheated on her. Again... while I sympathize with Mrs. Spitzer's situation, I think she's making a mistake. She should move on with her life and leave Eliot Spitzer in the dust.

Why wouldn't his wife stand beside him? She probably is in on all of this. And the daughters also? Didn't they all feed off of public trust and money? While Eliot Spitzer is guilty, the family is not exactly blameless.
