Now We Know What Silda's Been Doing While ...

When Eliot Spitzer was New York attorney general, the man seemed to own the press, seizing headlines with every investigation on Wall Street -- or prosecution of high-end prostitutes on Staten Island. Now that The New York Times has reported on Gov. Spitzer's much more amicable relationship with a separate ring of expensive prostitutes, the press will for a time own him.

Nor will public life be much better for Silda Wall Spitzer, Mr. Spitzer's wife. So let's take a moment to appreciate the last softball interview Ms. Spitzer is going to have for a while: a video tour, for Domino magazine, of efforts to "green" the executive mansion in Albany. She also appears in the Domino's March print edition.

Actually, her eco-friendly interview turns out to have been especially timely. Mr. Spitzer may have been publicly tagged Monday for one traditional sin, but the Vatican over the weekend added "ecological" offenses to its list of evils.
