I can't begin to tell you how deeply hurt and disappointed I am regarding the latest bomb about Elliot Spitzer. I'm hurt because I personally believed in him. He has had an illustrious career and I really admired him. I admired his stand against corruption and I saw hope in him and I'm just disgusted. He's a complete hypocrite. This man abused power becuase he could. $5K hookers??? Come on. He had 3 daughters. I'm so appalled.
I read some survey this morning regarding what his wife Silda Wall Spitzer should do and I just felt so sad. When I watched her tired but very calm face during the annoucement he made my heart just sank. She is the one that has to feel the shame and this man blatantly didn't just indulge in illegalities but in immoralities and now she's the one that is being watched. The same happened when McGreevy went down and his wife had to endure the embarrassment and shame while he was out attending coming out parties.
Please leave this woman alone. She has a long marriage and a relationship with a man who has done some serious wrong and caused her hurt and shame. She has grown daughters she has to worry about and she has to deal with this alone. Please give her the space and privacy she so desperately deserves. It's not fair to go after her, put the spotlight on her and scrutanize her. And it's certainly digusting to say things like "She probably knew anyway." Leave her alone.
