Generally speaking, I consider myself apolitical. I’m just not interested. But they’ve had CNN on tv at work for the last couple weeks, and, among other things, I’m reminded why I’m so very dissillused with the US political system. I don’t know how anyone will be able to stand to hear about elections or anything else government-related by the time November rolls around.

I’m pretty sure I’m in the minority when I say that I’m a little annoyed at the commentary directed at Eliot Spitzer’s wife since this whole prostitution ring scandal came out. Sure, he got caught doing something stupid and hypocritical (to say the least). Has Silda Wall Spitzer made any speeches of her own concerning her feelings over the situation? Does anyone know exactly what has transpired between Spitzer and his wife since all this dirty laundry was aired?

I didn’t think so.

Stop calling her weak, or asking how she can “put herself through all this,” and especially that you can’t believe she’s being forced to stand up there with him. I’m pretty sure she wouldn’t be there if she didn’t have a damned good reason. No one but they knows exactly what’s going on behind the scenes between the two of them. I’m sure she’s probably not thrilled with the situation, but she’s still there, so give her at least a little credit for the strength she’s displaying.
