She let him have his dalliances, because she knew he was going places and she would be right there with him. Remember, she implored him not to resign as governor....

I haven't been up that long yet, so maybe I missed something overnight, but on what evidence have you determined that Spitzer's wife was complicit in his illicit affairs and that she "implored him not to resign...."

However, I still stand by the idea that she knew and accepted it. There is no way she had no idea for 10 years, especially when that amount of money is being spent.

How could he bust rings and use one? He eliminated the competition for the service he was using. I wonder if there was any Quid Pro Quo involved?
Something along the lines of : I just busted a Staten Island competitor for you...how about a free 5 diamond 1 hour session or a buy one hour get one hour free...

Exactly. It does not matter who Spitzer's political enemies are, or how rich those who hate him are. It does not absolve him of guilt.
People who suggest otherwise are those who continue to enable corruption among our elected officials.

I was led by my studies to the conclusion that legal relations as well as forms of state could neither be understood by themselves, nor explained by the so-called general progress of the human mind, but they are rooted in the material conditions of life.
In the social production which men carry on they enter into definite relations that are indispensable and independent of their will; these relations of production correspond to a definite stage of development of their material powers of production. The sum total of these relations of production constitutes the economic structure of society - the real foundation, on which rise legal and political superstructures and to which correspond definite forms of social consciousness. The mode of production in material life determines the general character of the social, political and spiritual processes of life. It is not the consciousness of men that determines their existence, but, on the contrary, their social existence determines their consciousness.
