As the New York Post Said: Ho No!

While I have many issues with the scandal Gov. Spitzer created by hiring a prostitute and transporting her across state lines into Washington DC, one thing that noticeably stood out for me was the scene created at his press conference. The governor stands on the podium with the look of remorse and regret, apologizes to the state, and finally his family. But did you notice his wife standing with him? What is it about political wives creating a stand of solidarity with their cheating political spouses? David Vitter's wife criticized Hillary Clinton for "standing by her man" after the Lewinsky scandal, yet did the exact same this when her husband was implicated in the DC Madam scandal saying quote: "He is my best friend." Might I noticeably add that she was clad in the same uniform as Spitzer's wife in pearls and a power suit. How is it that these educated women are placed in this position, and why is it that we have come to accept this "united front" that such wives are complicit in? Noting that in any other circumstance is it more than likely the wife would leave that man behind.
