well, we (my husband) were in Delaware when this first broke. It was very interesting (for the lack of a better word)......And being proud members of the Elk's Lodge...we were visiting a Delaware lodge....Words cannot describe what we felt......BUT...MY main concern is for the 3 young daughters of Silda....... All I can offer is my sincere prayers in deciding your future and the future of your children...... My heart goes out to YOU, Silda..!!!!!

First off no one heard this come from Silda Spitzer's mouth but from a "close source". Obviously, she is upset that her husband cheated on her in the first place. However, I'm sure it did occur to her that this girl was only four years older than their oldest daughter. He could be "Kristen's" Dad. Quite frankly I find it creepy, and if I was Silda or his daughters I would be disturbed. She is a intelligent, pretty woman who can hopefully find happiness in the near future. I personally don't know how she could stay with him after this whole ordeal. As outsiders though we don't know anything about them and can't judge her decision in the end...it's her life.

All is fine with me as long as she doesn't run for governor eight years later.

She should have taken the kids and gone somewhere, let Eliot face the press alone, gotten herself tested for every std under the sun (after all if he's gonna cheat on her with one hooker, he's gonna cheat on her with a dozen hookers), figured out what lawyer she was going to use for the divorce...

Well, the hooker's company represented her as being 24, so Eliot must have been fooled by that into thinking it was OK.

For a $1000/hr, that hooker better be hot and young. Duh!

Silda ain't so bad looking herself- she must have been quite fetching 15 to 20 years ago...

No pity for her at all. She is as calculating and ambitious as Eliot. She married the guy for his father's money and the status/lifestyle this would provide. Unbelievably she didn't want him to resign, which shows she didn't care about the spotlight of disgrace this would keep her children under but rather was primarily focused on trying to save her lifestyle/status. Guess what Silda -- it is OVER...you are as big a joke as your husband and always will be...these megalomaniacs actually thought this might just go away and they could remain Gov -- this will not go way and they will be tainted for the rest of their lives. I feel absolutely terrible for their children -- it is a true tragedy for them... The only way Silda can regain her dignity and that of her daughters is to dump the guy -- he is a complete fraud Silda...you've known it for a long time and now it is time to end the charade and leave this loser!!!! Peter Stamos must be getting the last laugh on this one.

At last -- a Gothamist story that doesn't include photos of a half-naked "Kristen."

Harvard/ivys put out the most outstanding citizens, people we can look up to and venerate... or get venereal diseases from, while they run our country into the ground...

@howboutdemcowboys ah, fair enough. although, i think she was implying that it was creepy that her husband would bed girls in the same age bracket as their daughter

A few years ago I worked on a TV show that became an overnight sensation. When they started gaining popularity, NBC sent the cast to "media camp" to educate them about dealing with the public and the press. I wonder if there is something similar for politicians and their spouses? I can imagine if there was, there would be instructions on appearing to be loyal to your wayward spouse in the event of a faux pas.

@petebfd I agree with you. I said what I said because it's ridiculous that a wife is pissed about the age of her husband's whore. She's pissed because her man was with another woman. Period.

I don't see how people can criticize her for how she's behaved thus far. She's a political wife, and she's done what she had to do to show a level of class and decorum for a humiliated husband and father of her children. Hiding out or stomping around and pouting wouldn't do her any good. In my opinion, a classy move on her part.

"Wall Spitzer is most upset about Ashley Alexandra Dupre's age" Nope, I'm still holding that she was most upset that her husband was screwing hookers, not how old those hookers were (or weren't).

do you guys read before you post? "Dupre is only four years older than the Spitzers' eldest daughter" get it?

Who knows what she did or didn't know. I feel worst for her and the kids. Sure, they're rich and have resources at hand, but to have to deal with it so publicly sucks. And every marriage is full of compromise - SWS is getting a lot of flak from some who criticize "opt-out" wives (career women who opt out of the workforce), which I don't think is fair - everyone makes their own decisions for different reasons (my mom was a worked and she was criticized by stay-at-home moms). The problem is that in this marriage, she gave up her career, he couldn't give up his ego.

Women also cheat on their spouses. It's actually celebrated in the media.

But she's fine with the unprotected sex though?

@howboutdemcowboys perhaps she cares more about her family than her husband's career?

Her age is what has Ms. Spitzer pissed? The fact that her husband's Spitzer has been spit upon a number of times would be better if the whore was 32 or 42 or 52? Come on! What she should be pissed about is the fact that the whore's career is about to take off and her husband's career is over.

I was really hoping Silda would serve him with the divorce papers when he gave his resignation speech on Wednesday. I wonder if they have a prenup. A classy MILF beats a young Jersey skank any day.
