Eliot Spitzer

Spitzer style: first it was the red tie, now it's the blue.

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JYEUhIobuk] I think it's interesting how Spitzer was wearing a red tie when he first apologized and today he sported a blue one. Seems like that's the color of choice when badly behaving politicians, chief executives, etc., have to publically put their tail between their legs and apologize.  Other dudes who had on a blue tie when the axe fell include, Stan O'Neal (Merril Lynch), Sam Waksal (Imclone), Andrew Fastow and President Nixon. Also, check out what Silda was wearing- the dark suit and scarf is gorgeous but she clearly looks like she's in mourning.

Stand by your man (wearing powder blue and pearls).

 If any of you live in New York (or for those of you who don't and are CNN obsessed) you know our Governor had to fess up to a pretty sordid act involving hookers. Ew.

 I don't usually write about politics and fashion BUT I thought it was an interesting point Richard Blakely made on Boinkology regarding the outfits Dina Matos McGreevey AND Silda Wall Spitzer had on when their husbands (on two separate occasions) admitted to cheating on national television. Strangely, both women were wearing powder blue suit jackets with pearls!!! Apparently light blue is disarming!! And check out what Jim McGreevey and Eliot Spitzer were wearing- it's pretty much the exact same outfit!! I wonder if they "discussed prior" to Spitzer going on television. Just sayin'...
