Before anyone else jumps on the millions of ways to poke fun, or analyze rather, the situation about Eliot Spitzer and his ring of prostitution, I decided to take a stab at it. Truthfully, I do not know much about Eliot Spitzer, or prostitution for that matter, and my initial reaction was actually to the other woman in Spitzer’s life: his wife.
Upon seeing the photograph of the married couple together at this afternoon’s press conference, I can’t help but wonder whether I would have the strength to stand by my husband in that situation. On the other hand, a better question to ask might be whether this action demonstrates strength at all. Is standing by your husband after he cheats and commits a crime in one foul swoop loyalty or weakness? After all, this is not the first time that America has seen this occur; it goes without saying that presidential candidate Hillary Clinton experienced quite a similar situation a few years back.
I suppose in the end that Silda is simply trying to put on a brave face for the world, and I commend her for having the courage to get on stage with her husband today. However, I only hope she thoroughly evaluates the situation once the initial scandal makes it way out of the press—and that she comes to a better decision.

The Spitzer's have three daughters. I obviously can't say with any authority what the Spitzer family is thinking, but maybe Silda Spitzer isn't putting on a brave face for the world. Maybe she's putting on a brave face for her children.
Mrs. Spitzer may seem weak to some people, but if she's doing this for her children's sake, than I think that makes her strong.
My prediction is that she will divorce him --- she is too decent, attractive and educated to stay with such disgusting man. If I was his daughters, I would change my last name! How will they ever look at him with repect again!
He is worse than ex President Clinton! That, of course, is debatable!
Spitzer has made the world of prostitutes now something that young high school and college students are talking about! My niece, Kristen, who attends a private college was teased all week because her name is Kristen! She can thank Spitzer for this and so can all the other innocent girls named Kristen who had to endure teasing comments this week. The only thing that might possibly be worse is having the name "Ellliot" and "Spitzer" --- you can bet it will not be in the leading list of baby names!
While I am commenting ... Dr. Laura's comments are ridiculous. This tight face old woman with a face lift that is affecting her brain should think before she speaks! Perhaps she is reflecting on her own reality.
To conclude, there is absolutely no acceptable reason that Elliot Spitzer placed his family in such an embarrasing and humiliating position. There is no reason that he should have provided such a terrible example of behavior for the youth of America.
My hope is that Silda will use her intelligence and charm and do what is best for her and her three daughers --- she deserves better than Elliot.
What was he thinking? He was just thinking about himself! He is like the white OJ Simpson. He has no concience. He is a selfish, self-centered, egotistical man!
I hope his daughters will get counseling and get away from this man that has caused so much hurt to their mother and them.
On the good side, Elliot's behavior has shown all of us that it is not acceptable to be dishonest and cheat whether in relationships or in anything else or there will be a high price to pay and it will result in complete unhappiness.
SC
Yes she has been with Eliot for many years, but he has apparantly been doing this sort of thing for some time, although looking at her elegance, demeanor and stature, I cannot for the life of me understand why.
He is the loser in this case and she will come out the winner. She should in the coming months play this politacal endeavor to her favor and if she is interested in politics, run with it. The light at the end of the tunnel is very near for her, whereas Eliot has many dark days ahead of him.
Second, apparently you have spent some time in the Spitzer's bedroom with them since you are so certain they have not been having sexual relations themselves. You must be pretty tight with the Spitzer's to be so knowledgable on their relationship!
Third, GET AN EDUCATION! Any educated therapist or psychologist will tell you that research shows that men who cheat don't do it because their wives are not giving them sex.
HOW DARE YOU JUDGE THIS WOMAN! FOOL!
Surely you jest! too big a word for you? Look it up.
A. Hole!
PS If you do not believe me look at his picture!
these actions are the same reasons that hillary clinton will not be our first woman president. if she had empowered herself to leave a disloyal, dishonest man, she may have had a chance.
no more.
Real strength, moral conviction, and bravery would have better been demonstrated to her daughters by her refusal to participate in his self serving acts of contrition. His actions speak loudly about his values and his words are hollow. Protect yourself and your daughters Silda, from the degretation he has brought to your family by living lives of moral conviction and acknowledgement of truth. That truth being that he is a self-serving jerk.
In the background, I will bet money that Silda has her own attorneys representing her and the best way to have an exit strategy out of this marriage which has been a complete farce on his side.
Time will tell but I guarantee that you will see Silda get out of the marriage before the year if over. How do you spell revenge? HUGE SETTLEMENT!
I hope that she hires Raul Felder or someone similar --- but if Elliot has one brain cell left, he should be decent for once and tell her to just draw up whatever she wants and agree to her terms - if I was Elliot I would not even bother wasting any money on a divorce attorney.
And as for the girls as my niece said the daughters are going to get whatever they want from now on! How can this fater deny them anything after spending so much on hookers.
I truly feel sorry for the wife and the daughters ... this must be a most hurtful, humiating nightmare by someone that they loved and trusted.
