    Imagine You're Mrs. Spitzer ...

    Photograph of Gov. and Mrs. Spitzer by Timothy A. Clary/AFP/Getty Images.A guest post from our colleague Tim Noah, who presents us with an important question.

    Your governor husband is going to a press conference to announce that he got caught in a prostitution ring. He asks you to come with him to show moral support. Do you say

    a) "Of course, sweetheart"

    b) "Not a chance, you son-of-a-bitch."

    c) "I'd love to, hon, but my favorite soap is on."

    d) "Goody. I have a few things I'd like to say, and I don't care who hears it."

    e) "No, and I'll be changing the locks while you're gone."

    It seems to me that the only answer here that is plainly incorrect is "a." But apparently that's what Silda chose.

    OK, let's hear what everyone thinks. 

    Update: Read what the XXers' answers to Tim's question here. Read the whole Spitzer conversation here.
