…and look ridiculous! New York Governor Eliot Spitzer announced his his resignation over an allegation – supposedly taped – saying he would “leave public life” two days after he was identified as Client 9 in a $5,500-an-hour international call-girl ring.

“A wiretap found a client, later allegedly identified as the governor, arranging to meet a $1,000-an-hour prostitute named Kristen. Reports say he paid more than $4,000 for her services.”

His news conference featured his doting wife by his side. Why? “Oh sorry, honey, I had the occasional quickie with you when I felt like it but gave Kristen four grand ‘cos she’s worth it!” Why do cheated politician wives stand by their men?
