19. You do not speak for MOST women...

...not even MOST women on DU.

You are of course free to state your opinion and if you feel that strongly about someone whom you do not even know who betrayed his marriage vows, so be it. Personally, the only part that frosted me was that he had been aggressive about prosecuting others for similar behavior. Other than that, people's sex lives are their own, as are their marriages and their marriage vows. It's up to his wife to be pissed at him over it, not up to me. His political career is over. So now you think he should just crawl away and never show his face in public again, something like that?

Spitzer is a strong liberal voice, and you seem to want him to STFU forever, because he is a flawed human being. Well guess what? We are all, every single one of us, flawed human beings. It's just that most of us do not have our flaws exposed so publicly.
