Why is that when a politician cheats on his wife, he always has the wife stand next to him at his press conference about it? It seems cruel that women not only have to deal with it at personal level, but also in a public forum. Samantha Bee's fake announcement that she cheated on her husband was influenced by Governor Spitzer's press conference yesterday.
It's ridiculous that these men cheat on their entire families and then drag their wives up to the podiums with them. It's like they won't go down alone. The Daily Show skit mocks this logic. Men who cheat should not have the comfort of having thier wives stand by them and walk off the stage hold thier hand.
Think about how this affects the view of women in American society. A wife should not always stand by her husband, especially not on TV while the whole country is witnessing her humiliation. This perpetuates the idea that a man cheating is somehow the woman's fault. As Samantha Bee says, "You should have the hooker up there with him!"
