BrownSuga's Sweet Spot: What I would do if I were Silda Spitzer…

Let me preface this blog by saying this…when there is infidelity in a marriage I truly believe the husband and wife share blame…

However the actual CHOICE to cheat is purely the fault of the person who cheated…

With that thought in mind this is how the morning of the press conference would have gone had I been Silda Spitzer…



Inside the room where the press conference is being held, there are hundreds of journalists waiting for the arrival of Governor Spitzer. In walks Silda Spitzer followed by Governor Spitzer and some other people who don’t matter…

Surprisingly, it is Silda who approaches the podium and looks into the cameras and the Governor stands to the side head down.


“You may be surprised that I am the one speaking first but what I have to say needs to be said, not only for me and my 3 daughters but for every other woman who finds herself in a similar situation.

I am not here to defend anyone including myself. But I am here to say that I am not the one to “stand beside her man” when he’s become an embarrassment to me and my children.

I did not choose to run for public office and neither did my children. So my personal life is not open to the scrutiny for the press. I am not implicated in a call girl scandal. I did not cheat on my husband.

From this moment on, what I choose to do is no concern of anyone’s but me and my children.

Every person here wants a story and that story is the Governor. He will have to defend the choices he made. He is the one you should contact to quotes and interviews. He is the one who has the answers.

Please leave me and my daughters alone. You can stop camping outside my house, calling my home or following us around in hopes of a new angle. You won’t get one.

Thank you”

Silda Spitzer then walks out of the press conference as the Governor takes his spot at the podium to say whatever it is he needs to say…without a wife beside him.
