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...

While call girl "Kristen" is getting a lot of attention, the thoughts and feelings of Governor Spitzer's wife Silda Wall Spitzer are still the object of much curiosity. The Post spoke to a friend of hers who said Wall Spitzer is most upset about Ashley Alexandra Dupre's age (22). According to the Post, "The fact that Dupre is only four years older than the Spitzers' eldest daughter, Elyssa, is not lost on Silda." Still, the friend says she is Spitzer's "rock," and the couple, who met at Harvard Law School, have been attending meetings with his lawyers. Another fascinating detail:...

** EXCERPT ** Once, just once, wouldn’t you love to see the politician up there at the lectern sweating bullets, apologizing for letting down his wife and family …. alone? Once, just once, wouldn’t you love to see the wife issuing her own statement saying that what he had done was unacceptable and that she was leaving him? Wouldn’t that be morally correct?

We really haven’t...

YOUTUBE OF SILDA SPITZER IN THE GOVERNOR'S MANSION What a scumbag he is. She is an amazingly classy lady. Please, FReepers, I don't want to see you telling us that you would "hit it." Not necessary.

When Eliot Spitzer was New York attorney general, the man seemed to own the press, seizing headlines with every investigation on Wall Street -- or prosecution of high-end prostitutes on Staten Island. Now that The New York Times has reported on Gov. Spitzer's much more amicable relationship with a separate ring of expensive prostitutes, the press will for a time own him. Nor will public life be much better for Silda Wall Spitzer, Mr. Spitzer's wife. So let's take a moment to appreciate the last softball interview Ms. Spitzer is going to have for a while: a video tour, for...

In a revealing moment of MSM elitism, WaPo editorialist Ruth Marcus, discussing the decision of Silda Wall Spitzer to appear with her husband Eliot yesterday, wanted people to know Mrs. Spitzer is a Harvard law grad and a "serious" person, not a Tammy Wynette type. Marcus was interviewed by Contessa Brewer on MSNBC this afternoon, and the pair turned to the question of why political wives tend to appear with their husbands who have been caught up in sex scandals. RUTH MARCUS: I just don't think that we should lump all these women together. And to use a line that...
