Why, why, why would Spitzer (or any man) risk his ENTIRE life to 'get some' and pay

[memyselfI]

for it??? I mean if he had an affair that is some what understandable as it happens. But to pay for it???

I thought this question was as relevant as the one asking why would Mrs. Spitzer stand by her cheatin dog, er, man. Why do men sometimes think with their head down south and not the one up north????
