heric, Spitzer's wife wasn't being used, you can be certain of that. The woman earned more than he did as a corporate lawyer (and was quite the shark, from what I've heard) before she took time off to raise her kids and be a political spouse.

IMO, she absolutely would not have been there had she not wanted to be.

Contrary to popular opinion, not everyone considers sexual wandering to be a capital offense.

That is an opinion usually held by holier-than-thou, harshly judgmental individuals.

I don't know very many people who would immediately end a long term, otherwise pretty stable marriage, over an issue like this.

But the personal side of this should no longer fodder for gossips and media whores.
