#1 I will never understand why these wives allow themselvs to be used as pathetic props for the obligatory news conference. Better that they refused, making the asshole stand there by himself, or took the opportunity to do a quick knee to the groin and storm off.

#2 You do have to wonder why smart, worldly women like her (and Hillary, and others) allow themselves to be humiliated like this. My suggestions to her would have been along the lines of stay at home, change the locks on the door, empty the bank accounts, toss his clothes onto the street -- and then issue a short press statement.

#3 My guess is that she is hoping to negotiate support and trust funds for the daughters from his family, in exchange for her discretion.

That and she just found out about the whole d*mn thing a few hours before. Shock.

#4 She's supposed to be a high powered lawyer. Shock? I doubt it. I hope she got his sig on the deal before the presser.

Ah come on. You think they look for the decent guy who is not the center of attention or wearing the power suit or 'up and coming'? Each element of discrimination [income, profession, height, etc] further and further restricts the available population. When you put together the elements of selection, how can they put on the show of surprise and astonishment?

#6 Many of these marriages are more about power and prestige than love and family. Mrs. Spitzer (does she have a first name?) knows the drill and followed it.
