NOT shockingly, this whole Spitzer thing is bad news all around, but (of course) it's really REALLY bad news for...Hillary Clinton. Claims an article on Washingtonpost.com:

It has...brought back unhelpful memories of her own husband's dalliances in office. There on cable television again were pictures of Bill Clinton hugging Monica S. Lewinsky. And the image of Spitzer's wife standing painfully by his side while he acknowledged unspecified wrongdoing could not help but remind some of Hillary Clinton's own stand-by-her-man moment.

Ouch. How long is going to take people to stop counting Bill's affair against Hillary? In the (considerable) discussion surrounding Spitzer's admission of whatever it was that he did, during which his wife stood next to him, the focus has been on him asking his wife to stand beside him. But in Hillary's case, she's the one to blame for "standing by her man" (which is a bad/good thing?)

Basically, the problem with the resurgence of Bill/Monica imagery is simple: everyone is remembering that Hillary failed as a wife, and "if she can't control her husband, how can she control a country?"
