Silda Wall Spitzer, the former New York Governor's wife, knew about her husband's penchant for prostitutes and didn't care. At least that's what the New York Post is saying, so don't dry your eyes just yet.
An unidentified source told the Post's Richard Johnson that Spitzer recently said, "My [bleep]ing wife doesn't care [about the hookers], so why does anybody else care?" Which brings up a whole lot of questions. Like, (a) where are the other hookers he solicited and (b) have they recorded any songs?
According to New York Magazine, the hour-long delay for Gov. Spitzer's press conference was due to the fact that Mrs. Spitzer--a former corporate lawyer--needed time to compose herself before facing the media. Whether this freshening-up was merely a deep breath prior to an intense confrontation with the media or a real-life screaming fit of magnanimous proportions, we will never know. Do the spouses of philandering politicians really have no idea that their husbands (or wives) are cheating, or do they ignore the obvious simply to keep up appearances?
Spitzer's new spokesperson Anna Cordasco called the New York Post report "completely false," but it does make us wonder: When are we going go ahead and allow our politicians to get jiggy with it?
After the Monica Lewinsky scandal broke, opponents of President Clinton must have expected an immediate resignation. Everybody knew the drill: You got caught, you resigned. And in this case in particular, there were so many sordid details, you wondered if the man would just text-in his resignation. Not Bill Clinton. Instead, the President apologized on television and immediately got back to business. What created this moral forcefield? The fact that his wife didn't care.
If Eliot Spitzer did in fact ask why anyone else would care about his soliciting prostitutes if his wife doesn't care, he's essentially missing the overall point. The point being, we don't live in Finland.
