Shut up, Sally Quinn
I watched Washington Post's Sally Quinn compare Silda Spitzer to a Muslim woman in a burka.
I'm going to put aside the fact that many Muslim women wear burkas of their own free will and there is nothing wrong with that, so I can focus on the fact that Sally Quinn just doesn't understand the situation.
Quick review: Eliot Spitzer, then-governor of New York, had sex with a prostitute and got caught. His wife stands next to him at the resulting press conferences. Sally Quinn went on NBC's Morning Joe and basically said Mrs. Spitzer is a total wuss and she should not have stood with her husband. She asked why the wives of unfaithful male politicians always stand by their husbands when this comes out.
I'll tell you why, lady. I'll tell you why Hillary Clinton and Mrs. McGreevey did it too. Because intelligent women tend to make intelligent choices. Why is it intelligent to make a show of solidarity after being publicly humiliated by one's spouse? First off, when a guy cheats on his wife, that should be a private family issue, and I'm sure she's giving him hell for it - in private, which is the appropriate place to give the idiot hell. Second, and more importantly, the Spitzers have three kids. Did Eliot Spitzer harm the people of New York by extra-marital sex? Of course not. (See: Rudy Giuliani) The people he hurt are his wife and his kids. And the man's kids don't deserve further damage from a messy, very public separation.
(If Mrs. Spitzer chooses to divorce her husband at a later date when the media stops paying attention, I support her one hundred percent.)
Furthermore, Sally Quinn went on to say Mrs. McGreevey - who made a kind statement of sympathy towards Mrs. Spitzer - had a different situation because her husband turned out to be a homosexual.
Listen, Sally? Shut up. Cheating is cheating. Shame is shame. And you are almost as much of an idiot as Eliot Spitzer.

Now, I don't think she can. She's too much in the spotlight, and in order to be the "perfect person" for where she plans on heading, she must be married, not divorced.
Stuck now.
She could have divorced him. She had plenty of time during the Bush 43 years. She won't because he's a big part of her power base. No matter what anyone's opinion of her is, every reasonable person must admit that her career is the most important thing to her, with the possible exception of her daughter.
Now, if Bill Clinton initiated the proceedings? He'd never be able to show his face in public again.
Its nice to see a busy body who believes everyone’s business is they’re for her to stuck her nose into, and that her concept on Christian values is how the world should work. Its too bad they never really read the true bible the one that was translated into a language we could read and to match up with the society we live in. yes modified for our time and age to make us subservient to the church, removed was the bigotry the incorrectness.
And too bad the original bible was set up by a pope who throw out several peoples parts and keep those who worked good together Mark, John and Paul.
And I must not forget her values from growing up, its also funny how money can change your outlook and opinions on the world, its easy to look down from a penthouse apartment or out from a gated community and judge others.
Why even I am opinionated about her! So WulfTheYounger dose she look good in a bikini, if not I agree with you
