Last Spitzer post
A guy who works for a group called Sexual Recovery Institute just made a great point. He said that if he sees one more politician confess publicly to sexual misconduct at a press conference with his wife beside him, done basically in order to appear publicly contrite to salvage their political career, he will go crazy. The wife is so hurt in the clip being replayed. Why is she there? If all he's gonna do is apologize vaguely to her and to the public, why does she have to be there? I think this guy's point is very good. The real tragedy in this is that wife and the daughters.

man, i was thinking the same thing last night: a.) how in the world after what he has done can a husband ask his wife to stand there while he publicly confesses? presumably getting to the point in your political career where something like this actually requires a public confession also requires enormous relationship compromises throughout your whole career. b.) my assumption is that political wives (wives in general for that matter) are a lot more savvy than everyone else in this regard and either know out right or suspect something way before things come to light publicly so its not nearly the surprise we think it is. c.) they are beating the hell out of their husbands behind the scene.
