Prostitution link tarnishes Spitzer's "clean" image
Gov. Spitzer has really stepped in it. I think he should definitely resign. Since we are talking about him engaging in illegal activity. Other than the voters who put their faith in him, I always feel sorry for the wife when things like this happen. Very embarrasing for her having her marital business splashed all over the papers. Then she has to (feels obligated to) stand there and support her lying poor excuse for a husband while he tries to wiggle out of the mess he caused. |

I feel sorry for his wife as well. What a terrible thing to do to her. Cheating is bad enough, but he can't even claim "it just happened" (not that that's any excuse either). To be involved with prostitutes had to be a deliberate non-impulsive decision. That's even worse and how insulting to his wife! And now she has to deal with the whole thing publicly.
I agree he should resign. He also should accept a divorce, if that's what she wants (and she should IMO) and leave her everything without a fight. |

He has three daughters on top of that. Teenagers who pretty much understand what's going on. My heart go out to those girls. Another thing that is kind of upsetting me is that all over TV, pictures are being plastered of him and Hillary together. Yikes. I'm very open minded but that might plant some subliminal message in some of the weaker of us. Oy vey! Good thing is we all would have forgotten about this by next week. |

I think my sense of betrayal would be so much, that I couldn’t stand there beside him while he was going through the press conference bit. I'm pretty strong emotionally, but there is no telling what I would do or say. It had to be surreal for his wife. I forgot about his kids. They must be embarrassed beyond belief. |

I hadn't thought about the kids either. They'll probably get a lot of ridiculing in school too. The more I think about this, the more crystal it becomes just how selfish this was.
And I don't know what's with pairing his picture with Hillary's. I think she's already had enough to deal with too. Speaking of selfish, that would be our media as well. Anything for a story.

I am listening to the local news, and apparently Silda Spitzer is originally from NC. They just interviewed her parent's housekeeper. They mentioned a figure for how much Spitzer has spent on prostitutes... at least $80,000.

Now is that 80K of his own money? I understand he is a wealthy man on his own. Not ever being married or even close to it, I can't fathom the hurt this woman is feeling if she truly loves this man. Does this man think he's going to be able to keep it all? Job, wife and family? |

I have no idea where the money came from. If he embezzled the money, then he is in even more trouble. He resigned today. As he should have IMO. |

Oh, and I just love how some of the commentators have been making a big deal about the hooker's background in an attempt to make us feel sorry for her. Oh, poor girl. A lot of people have rough childhoods, but don't turn to prostitution. With the amount of money she was making per hour she could have hooked for two months and paid for an undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate degree. Not to mention had enough for living expenses while attending school for several years. She could have gotten out of the business very quickly if she had the desire to. |
