Why do political wives stand by their man? Why do they stoically stand next to their husbands at the podium as the dirtbags admit to sleeping with prostitutes and young men? Most women I know would morph into Loretta Bobbitt in a similar situation rather than Silda Spitzer.

Silda is urging Eliot to stay in office. At this point, I would be throwing his clothes out of the window of their 5th Avenue apartment and letting them rain down on the reporters below.

Silda must have known about the hookers. She must be getting off on the
photo spreads for the Governor’s green mansion. She must be loving the
dinners with Martha Stewart and New York City big shots. She is willing
to put up with a creepy husband for all that. Sad.

The View was talking about this yesterday.

The female hosts on “The View” have also had their share of tabloid
stories, but most of those scandals followed catfights behind the
scenes, not lapses in morality or professional probity. Certainly there
were no tears shed for Mr. Spitzer on Tuesday on “The View,” where for
once all five women agreed emphatically on almost everything about the
scandal.

“Aren’t you sick of men?” Joy Behar, one of the hosts, said. “Viagra is destroying our government.”

Dina Matos McGreevey says that we shouldn’t be wondering what the heck is going in the mind of the poor wives.

Why not? We’re wondering about the motivations of these women, because their behavior is just bizarre and unthinkable for most women. I’m wondering why Dina still uses her ex-husband’s last name.
