What I think is a spot-on analysis of why so many people feel entitled to give Silda Wall Spitzer an extra ration of shit for standing next to her husband during his resignation speech can be found at Salon. In a word: projection.

Okay, that's a poor summary, so go read the article. But it does put me in mind of PNH's response to Robin Hobb's rant, in which he remarks, in comments:

Maureen McHugh once observed that 99% of all relationship arguments boil down to shocked cries of YOU'RE NOT ME! I suspect the observation can be generalized even more widely.


Why lookee. Already we have a case in point.

And yeah, to get back to that article above, I too am quite certain that there are things Silda Wall Spitzer could use more, this week, than having to justify her choices to self-righteous strangers.
