Though the Daily News does photo caption her as the "disgraced" governor's wife, its article about Silda Spitzer's first return to the public spotlight is generally favorable: "Shedding the shame of her husband's downfall, a radiant Silda Wall Spitzer emerged from self-imposed exile Wednesday night - looking stunning in a designer evening dress and heels. The former First Lady of New York held her head high, greeting friends with hugs and kisses at a midtown benefit for the Children for Children foundation she founded." It helps that she did not bring her husband as her date.
