Mrs. Spitzer
I've been listening to and reading quite a bit about New York Governor Spitzer's decision to leave office after being accused of hiring call girls, including at least one alleged hiring the night before Valentine's Day. There seem to be a lot of people who are taking sides about whether the governor's wife should be standing by him at this time. What she does isn't for me to say. I only know that I have watched the video footage of her while the married couple stood at the microphones and that I ached at how terribly sad her facial expression was. She looked like a woman wearing a lifetime of fatigue. I suppose no matter what she chooses to do now that Eliot Spitzer can never really erase that awful pain she expressed before the public as he faced away from her and toward the cameras. I wonder if he'll ever view the footage later and see how she really looked to the rest of us.
