She is a very attractive woman, isn't she? I'm sure that she is wondering what she is lacking that made him do this? It is not about HER. Sad to say, it is all about him and his sense of entitlement. It appears that she is staying with him. Go figure...Did you catch Letterman's comment - along the lines of "Is it too soon to start hitting on Mrs. Spitzer?"

LE has said that no deal has been struck. I hope to heck that they prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law for his "private" failings... It would be poetic justice at its finest...Hey Nan! I couldn't find the post where you pegged it, but you were dead on:
'I cannot allow my private failings to disrupt the people's work'
Did you know that hiring prostitutes constitutes a private failure? Wonder if all of the prostitutes sitting in prison right now because of him we'll be let out?
My husband owns a business here in NY,and you have no idea how ridiculous it is with all the taxes. He is nickled and dimed to death. We in upstate pay for everyone in NYC. (Frankly it should be its own state and support itself).The only saving grace for us here in upstate is we are going to become the "tech valley" of the East coast.
Ok,back to #9. I did not feel he was sincere in his apology. He is sorry he got caught,thats it. His arrogance still came across,and if he was any sort of man,whether his wife wanted to stand by him or not,he should have insisted she not be by his side.She has bags down to her chin, the poor woman.
Jeanine Pirro noted that the atty. that is now in charge of Spitzer's case,is some high powered guy,leading her to speculate,he may be in more trouble than we think. Too bad for him!
Question...what if some major disaster happens in NY before Monday? Who would be in charge?

I personally think that Elliott Spitzer is so arrogant and has so much family money that he feels that his high-powered lawyers will work out a deal for him. What is disgusting to me is that he prosecuted so many people, many who didn't deserve to be prosecuted, and he bullied and offended so many people that he deserves to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I know that the state would be paying for him to be prosecuted; however, if I were still living in the state, I'd be all for it. Of course, suffice it to say, that I did not vote for the guy.No kidding. But, he'd probably get sent to one of those white collar prisons where they get massages and play golf all day.
Less than a mile from the Mayflower - if the weather's nice and I get some free time I'll mosey on over there and harass the help.
Besides, I'm only bringing a couple thousand bucks - just enough to cover cab fare, tolls & dinner. I don't know how people can live in that city - you get paid a lot but you don't get to keep much of it.
He had better resign today, he is truly showing how arrogant he is by playing Let's Make a Deal on the state's dime. What a hypocrite, NYS is in enough trouble right now with out this guy jerking us around. It infuriates me to think of Spitzer sitting in his Park Avenue apartment, while the rest of the state waits in turmoil.
We were up there because of my husband's job, too. I had a good job/career here in Cincinnati before we made the decision to move because of a promotion. My career went to heck in a handbasket. His salary did not make up for the loss of my salary and the high cost of living. To give you an example, we paid $12,000 in property tax in NY. We pay $4,000 here right outside of Cincinnati. Oh, btw, our home here cost twice as much...
Even something as small as trash pickup is amazingly different. In NY, every box or bag or whatever we put on the curb had to have a "tag" on it. Not only did you pay for the trash service, you had to buy tags for each piece. Here, you can put out anything! We don't have to buy tags!! I know that sounds small, but we have a zillion boxes that we are emptying. It was a hassle in NY to get rid of them. We had to call the moving company to pick up or take them to the dump. Here, we just put it out and they take it! No, we're not hard to please...
Has your husband looked for employment in other states? I would think that he could get a job anywhere. I know that I hated NY and practically did backflips when I heard we were leaving.
Well, she didn't mind wearing high heels.
