"Stand Next to Me While I Humiliate You, Dear."

I have to hand it to John Edwards, at least he didn't make his wife stand by his side as he admitted his infidelity to the world. It is one thing for a man to have his wife stand by his side while he denies charges but to make her stand there next to him while he tells the world that he didn't love her enough, find her fulfilling enough , and didn't respect her enough to be faithful and the he is sorry he got caught is despicable. I always wonder at those women standing up next to their lousy husbands trying not to look humiliated. DO they think they can help salvage their husbands political careers? I am not inclined to vote for people who disrespect their wives and cover up their transgressions.
