Yes, it's sort of funny now as I look back. But, not funny at all when it was my everyday life. Best was going to the basement to get a 2-liter bottle of diet Sprite, and when I get upstairs and opening it, not hearing the tell-tale 'hissssss' of the C02 escaping. "Gee that's funny, this is flat." Of course, it turns out the contents of the bottle was replaced with vodka.

As for Gov. Spitzer, I'd like to smack that sorry hypocritical look right off his face.

OMG.. your ex sounds like my ex.. LOLOLOL.- Did they live in Houston by chance? It's funny as I hardly ever drink, and I'd buy my little pint bottle of rum- which normally would last me forever.. Well, I'd go to put a little in my diet coke, and guess what? Come to find out I'm putting WATER with my coke.. Wasn't fun!

- And yep.. you are SOOO right about that look on his face! I just feel badly for his wife and kids..

I hate 'The Face'.

I mean, I'm sure Mrs. Spitzer is probably the nicest woman in the world and everything... but... well, can you blame the dude?

Yes, this sounds misogynistic, but when you're married to the highest politico in NY state, you do need to make a bit more of an effort. For chrissakes, woman, drag a comb through that rats nest!

And lest we forget, former NJ governor Jim McGreevey giving more of 'The Face':

You mean fake remorse which is really just "****, I got caught."?

Dude, that woman would just as soon castrate him as stand next to him. She's doing him a HUGE favor just standing there. He's lucky she showered.

Amen on that note! If I were her, I would have been out that back door so fast, it would have made his head swim!! And... taken the kids and dogs with me!

Yeah, that one. I always feel so bad for the wives when this happens. Like Mcgreavy, or Senator Craig's wives, or Pat Nixon, or Kathy Lee Gifford. The wife has to stand there and be stoic, it must be so humiliating.

I think it must be hard for the wives' of any of these people just to stand there period.. How bad do they feel, you know?

Totally, they must do it for the kids. There's no other reason I can think that would motivate them to want to help the one who betrayed them. Maybe their husbands paid them.

See, if I was in that situation, I would have gone all out to look fierce, which would only underscore the point that Mr. Spitzer was an idiot for gambling his career away when he had such a hot piece of a$$ at home. Instead, by looking so schlubby, although the public is outwardly outraged, lots of married men were probably thinking, "dude, I totally understand why you did this."

I still don't see how. IMO, to me she doesn't look bad, at all. And she's got a "cheating" husband who is in the limelight! No matter how you look at it, he's holding a pretty high-ranking office, and even though it's a "known fact" that a lot of men in politics cheat, the "wives" are all still CHEATED on, which is wrong, no matter how you slice it!

I have less of a problem with him doing what he did than I have with how he tried to pass himself off. Maybe he isn't attracted to his wife who knows. To me she looks like she hasn't gotten any sleep and like she wants to vomit. She doesn't look bad, just battered. Married men that thought that are pigs. If you're not happy move on, don't waste $12,000 of the family's money on a whore. And take a look at him with his awful haircut and dye job. Double standard anyone?
