The upside to the whole Spitzer thing. From Shakesville:
In good news, New York will get its first ever African-American governor, when Democratic Lt. Gov. David Paterson assumes power next Monday...Paterson, who is also legally blind, is "pro-LGBT (up to and including full marriage rights), has openly gay staffers, was the first African-American to serve in a Legislative leadership position in New York, as well as the first African-American lt. gov., is committed to issues of women (including domestic violence), minorities and people with disabilities."
I am with you guys. Also, wouldn't most of that have been her money? Am I correct in thinking she's been a fancy lawyer while he's been a public servant?
No, Spitzer has family money (which he lied about using to pay for his election to AG), and she left (Skadden, I think) a long time ago.
I think the story is he spent $80,000 over a period of years sexing the hooker ladies. ::rolls eyes::
I'm so with Aimee. It's like these women get to be punished *again* by having to stand up there and pretend that they're supporto gal in front of the world.

Oh yeah, I forgot about his family. And didn't realize she hadn't practiced in so long, until I just read this profile: [link]
I dunno. Silda is a smart cookie, and very tough. I doubt anyone is forcing her to do what she doesn't want to do. I don't like the idea that she's not doing this for her own reasons-- maybe her kids, or her divorce settlement, or her other ambitions after this.
I'm with bon on this one. Also, those poor kids.
Somebody remind me to buy coffee before I go home. And that it's okay to spend a little bit more for a pound of good coffee because it works out to $0.30 a day.

Life is far too short for bad coffee.
