Hi Lisa,
It is truly sad. He only saw “Kristen” as a petite brunette to have sex with, not as an actual person with feelings. Mind you, if his wife was brunette, he would want to solicit a petite blonde. It’s crazy and stupid. It doesn’t make sense.

Lisa,
Spitzer was just out to do for himself. He didn’t and still doesn’t care who he hurt. The only thing that bothers him now is that he got caught. If he wouldn’t have he’d still be doing it and lying to his wife, children and us all. His big ego thought that he could do as he pleased with no consequences. Maybe the same law he brought into effect will effect him in a big way! Hopefully they won’t let him off because of who he is or what job he held.

As far as the prostitute goes…I can’t feel sorry for her. She chose to do what she did. She wasn’t forced. A lot of people are abused and come from bad homes but don’t turn to prostitution. When will we stop trying to excuse people for doing wrong. The only ones I feel sorry for and everyone else should feel sorry for is Spitzer’s wife and kids!

What was he thinking? He wasn’t. Period. Scratch that. He was thinking about himself and how to satisfy his sexual desires. Nothing else.

Eliot Spitzer is not man enough or good enough to have a woman such as Silda as his wife.

Lisa,
It happens everyday in this world. Is it right? No, but it’s reality. What’s nearly as bad is the endless non stop coverage, dissecting every word, action and facial expression of all involved. Do we really help or hurt with a voyeurism of our own, by hanging onto every sorted detail ad nauseam..

When she emerges from her state of shock, I hope Silda Spitzer divorces her husband and takes him for all he’s worth.

If Eliot Spitzer had any kind of integrity at all, he wouldn’t have put his wife through these very humiliating, public appearances.

Well, she should not give too much attention to this Ashley, after all, there might be at least 7 other women that gave the same service to her husband. Why bother with this one?
the problem is not the prostitutes, the problem is the one requesting their services.She has to deal with her husband and how to protect herself and her daughters from what was brought upon them by their irresponsible father.

I think it’s pathetic how the news media could care less about this woman’s feelings by constantly talking about and showing her husband’s hooker on TV. I turn the channel every time it comes on. It servces no useful purpose to continually show this woman on TV, who has been humiliated by both her husband and the media. No one really seems to care much about what she’s going through….only that they get the “best” story about a governor who clearly overstepped his bounds, both morally and legally. Unfortunately, this kind of stuff sells so there’s very little chance it will end until something else more tantilizing comes along.

i feel horrible for silda. i’ve never understood any woman’s ability to “stand by their man” when it becomes obvious that their man isn’t worth the suit he’s wearing, but i find it particularly disturbing when men disgrace themselves in public and drag their wives through the mud with them. my thoughts are with the wife and daughters, they are really the only victims here.

as for the prostitute;all i can really say to this angle of the story (as a ’21st century young person’) is that i for one found it disturbing that reporters were camped outside of her apartment last night. maybe she is seeking fame as a singer, but i doubt at 22 she’s prepared to deal with the media firestorm that surrounds what boils down to HIS infidelity and happens to include her occupation.

Lisa, did somebody dump you and you’re still steamed? Get over it.

You don’t know what is going on inside the Spitzer’s home or their heads. Your anger about this is getting creepy.

For the life of me, I dont understand why they are showing the prostitutes face on tv. Why on earth would they do that???
My 19 yr. old son asked me the same thing. Why on one tv station did they “blur” out her face, and on other channels flaunt it every half hour?

I truly believe this: MEN MARRY UP. I think he saw someone who REALLY had the talent and class that he percieved himself to have and decided to “marry up”. This guy is so unattractive, I am amazed he got such a lovely looking wife. I wish the very very best for her and her children and I KNOW it’s NOT Client 9.

Silda needs to have a long chat with Hillary. Hillary is more experienced in all matters that’s why she will be the President. Learn from her, look at her how bubbly & strong willed she is. Learn the tricks how to salvage an infidel husband, get happiness & make him work for you. This in an oppurtunity that won’t come in your path again. Love him & turn him around. He is ready now.

I do not feel sorry for prostitutes since no one is forcing people like “Kristen” into it. She’s in it for the money and Spitzer is in it for the sex. The only people I feel for are children who are forced into prostitution and the families who are left with the aftermath.

My husband cheated on me while i was in Iraq. My stepdaughter wrote me a letter telling me what was going on. When i returned home. I greeted him with all the affection in front of my children. The next day i served him with divorce papers. My heart goes out to Mrs. Spitzer i know what she is going thtough. My prayers are with her and her daughters.

Why does everyone keep focus on “Kristen”? Why not call her what she is, and there are many adjectives that would apply, some nicer than others. She says “I love who I am:, then talks about hoe difficult and complicated it has been. $1,000 an hour? To do what? Don’t answer that. There are many women, beautiful, young and in a serious relationship who are faithful to their partner and they can barely feed the family. If her rent is too high maybe she should go back home.

Her “friends and family” look somewhat suspicious too..

Quit making celebs out of every piece of garbage that ends up in the dump.

As to if either Spitzer or the woman should get jail time. I think they both should. for one he violated the Man Act plus others and he also violated the public trust. She is guilty of Tax evasion at the least. Prostitution is also illigal. I pay taxes on my income and she earns more in an hr than I get in 3 months. LETS GET THE LAW TO DO ITS JOB. mAYBE i CAN ROB A BANK AND CLAIM IGNORANCE AND MENTAL STRESS. i AM SO IN DEBT THAT i JUST HAD NO OTHER WAY OUT .
