Where's Your Manhood Men?

I'm on a soapbox today. I can't stand these situations like the one where Governor Spitzer in New York spent over 80 grand on prostitutes and gets caught and then expects his wife to stand up with him while he apologizes to his constituency, to her and his family. Every woman who saw her face knew she'd been sobbing (and probably throwing things -- at him if she was smart.) Here she is - probably the last to know, hit in the very public face with a very private trauma and he wants her to hold hands and walk into the press conference with him like she is fully supporting him. What is wrong with that picture? No woman should be put through that.
Everyone is asking why she was up on that stage with him. The same with Governer McGreavy's wife. I don't know. Maybe it's shock. Maybe it's for the children. I only know this. If either of those Governors had any real sense of honor they wouldn't have asked their wives to stand beside them publicly during what have to be the worst moments of those women's lives. Those men chose their actions and they had consequences--and those consequences will affect their families forever. They shouldn't asked their wives to join thier public shame and thus, humiliate them further than they already have. Where's your manhood, men? You got into this on your own. Get out of it on your own!
