Yet another sex scandal has "rocked" US politics - surely they would be used to it by now, and all this "rocking" would be unneccesary.
Anyway NY Govenor Eliot Spitzer, who campaigned strongly to ban prostitution when he was District Attorney, was found to be spending huge amounts of money on high class escorts.
That in itself is no big deal. A lying politician? I'm shocked.
It's poor Mrs Spitzer, who despite any actual feelings, has to publicly stand by her man, as have Hilary Clinton, and many other wronged political wives. In no other profession would the wife, who had just been cheated on, be expected to put on a brave face and smile for the cameras, supporting her no-good piece-of-poo husband. Indeed, even in the article in The Age (click here), it seems Mrs Spitzer does not even have a given name. (I had to eventually go to Wikipedia to find out her name as it was in none of the news articles I read. Her name is Silda.) Poor woman.
So Mrs Spitzer stands there while a contrite Govenor Spitzer resigns and apologises.
As a reward she should be able to flog him publically. Then again, perhaps not: he might like it.

If his wife had have done the right thing and kept her man happy he wouldnt have wanted to stray.
And what exactly would the right thing be? Charge him $2000 for an hour of her time?
