What' happening to this board? It used to be so much fun but lately there hasn't been much posting or talk on it. Anyhow, I'm going to throw out a topic on the NY gov. I posted a little bit of this on the B&B board under Eric and Step's marriage but here goes:
On the Today show this morning, Dr Laura S. stated that she felt the gov's wife has to bear some responsibility for his becoming involved with a prostitute. A high priced one at that ($5000). I wonder what one gets for that much money but then again who cares? Anyhow, Dr. L's point was that his wife was not meeting his needs for love and affection and probably sex so he had to turn elsewhere to get his needs met. I sure do hate it when the wife gets blammed for the husband's infidelity so I was wondering what any of you think about that?
I'm not sure if this applies to Sptizer and the call girls, but I have observed that women seem to throw themselves at men who are in powerful postions. I went to school with a fellow who eventually became a US senator. He had married his high school sweetheart, but has since had a succession of wives. I knew him as a dedicated public servant (even in high school), but he couldn't resist what was offered him. And on a more personal note, my husband was a county commissioner when his first wife died of cancer. After we were married I came across a letter written to him TWO WEEKS after his wife died from a woman offering to comfort him. As far as I know, he didn't take her up on the offer, LOL. But he did keep the letter.
If you want to hear Dr. Laura's side of the story, here's a link to her blog and in the blog is a link to the video which contain her comments. In the video she does not speak specifically about the governor's wife.

I think that Dr. Laura S. is from the old school. Maybe the Governor is a lousy lover and doesn't satisfy his wife. That would not be her fault. A prostitute is paid to satisfy the man, not the man satisfy the prostitute. If Dr. Laura S. is a marriage counselor I feel sorry for the women who come to her for counseling.
Why would the Governor's wife bear responsibility for her husband's indiscretions? I don't understand Dr. Laura's take on this, but then she has always blamed the wives for problems in a marriage. I don't know what church she belongs to but I have a feeling that it is one that probably believes in the biblical statement that * wives be submissive to their husbands* and perhaps Governor Spitzer's wife, after giving him three daughters decided she wanted to have a life outside of his. WHO KNOWS!!. I am sure it will all come out eventually.
What I would like to know is who were clients #1 to 8 and will they ever be revealed LOL.
