Although the Eliot Spitzer scandal has much to do with Eliot Spitzer, what about his wife, who must be, among other things, shocked and devastated by the news of her husband's betrayal?
Silda Wall Spitzer stood by her husband, teary-eyed and sullen as he admitted to the country of his stunning wrongdoings with high-class hookers. Her obvious strength through the unraveling debacle that is her life is truly something to be admired.
Along with being New York's First Lady, she is also a corporate lawyer, receiving a law degree from Harvard Law in 1984. As her husband pursued his political career, however, she took the role of raising their three daughters, aged 13, 15, and 18. During this time, she also participated in non-profit organizations.
Time will tell if she stands by her husband through the federal investigation and the soon-to-be released vicious New York tabloid headlines, but so far, her ability to even stand near her husband draws immediate comparison to Lewinsky-era Hillary Clinton; at least to me, anyway.
