With all the scandal involved with the New York governors lately, I find myself absolutely mystified by something.  Yes, Eliot Spitzer and David Paterson are pigs for cheating on their wives.  But what really, really baffles me are the wives and their reactions (or lack thereof).  How can they stand next to their husbands and pretend as if everything is ok?  Cheating is a deal-breaker.  How can any self-respecting woman find it acceptable that her husband has cheated on her?  How can the status of being the “governor’s wife” be more important than your self-worth?   I don’t get it.

Which brings me to my next issue… Hillary Clinton.  I will never vote for a Republican president (anyone who cares about the education of our children wouldn’t).  But I cannot bring myself to vote for Hillary either (if that’s who we’re left with).  She’s got some interesting views… she’s an eloquent speaker.  But I cannot forget the Monica Lewinsky scandal… and how Hillary stood by her man through it.  This doesn’t make her a strong woman to me… it makes her weak… it makes her a puppet.  She should have been throwing Bill’s skid-marked underwear out on the White House lawn instead of making excuses for him.  The thing is, it probably killed her to support him… but she did… she played the game.

And that’s where I have the problem… choosing the game over yourself.
