 sins of the husband and father, devastating
 
Sadly,
for our country and our children
yet another politician

a person in a leadership role
our elected officials used to demand respect
however
that is no longer the case


but, of course,  another story


Governor Spitzer was caught in a sex scandal

Yes,

this time the perp
was the Governor of New York

As a result
he held a press conference

what else is new?

and
he said he was sorry
and disappointed in himself
...what an understatement...

so, what else is new?


he said
he was going
to try
to make it up to his
family,

and
what else is new?

sorry means nothing anymore to these guys


His wife,
dutifully stood beside him as he talked to the reporters,

and, what else is new?

We all saw her tragic face

as he read from his carefully worded apology

where did she find the strength to stay on her feet?

when Jackie Kennedy endured the long public funeral of her husband
President John F. Kennedy
she had the forethought to hide behind a black veil

every facial gesture would have been interpreted
by anyone with a microphone
giving the hungry public a running commentary

those vultures,
the paparazzi,
were all trying to get a picture of her private reactions
behind her mask

I digress

most people watching this scandal
play out on television

were focused
on the devastated face of the governors wife

many of us were more interested
in the impact
this turn of events
has had on his family

Our concern and our prayers are for them

OK,
if you want to say a prayer for this creep,
go ahead,
I'm sure he could use it

(another story)

However

client #9
has a wife and three girls!

I pray they have a strong faith

I hope they find a therapist or a spiritual mentor
that might be able to help them
come to terms with all this
if that is possible?

the family must be destroyed

now can anyone tell me why? 

his wife,
an innocent,
women
had to stand there in the glare of the cameras,
in front of the world
and
be subjected to such a humiliating experience?

I wonder what it was like in the limo on the way home?
another story, perhaps?

poor woman, she stands there being compared to...what? You are beautiful Mrs. Spitzer, dump the bum hard. Just once I wish the dutiful wife would shove the perp aside grab the microphone,say what she really wants to,and then walk.

Great post that got the wheels in my mind turning ... Instead of leaving a long comment I decided to post my thoughts .... post entitled "The Governor's Wife". Thanks so much for posting your thoughts on this. It helped clarify a few things in my mind as well. Peace.

Nice thoughts, but she is the one who made the decision to be there, and sadly I think it would be better for her to turn her back on him.

I havent heard about this. I hope in the limo she took out some nice, sharp object from her purse and stuck it in his leg so he can limp around for a while.

I was appauled to see her stand there behind this creep. He even looks like a creep. There is NO WAY I could stand there, and support my husband while he apologizes for this. That is what a wife is doing when she stands beside/behind the shoulder of her husband...she is "supporting" him. Where is her self respect? I would not show up, which would speak volumes. None of this is her fault, but she is standing there infront of all the cameras..why??? For her children??? What is that teaching them??? That they should support a cheating, prostitute paying husband??? I think not!!!
God Bless Roe!
