IF this were an ancient Greek tragedy, Corina Villaraigosa would be plotting her revenge on her philandering husband, something perhaps involving poisoned golden robes or a visit from a giant with one eye.<\/p>\n

No such luck for the soon-to-be-ex first lady of Los Angeles, whose famous husband admitted this past week to a prolonged relationship with a television reporter who had been covering him. While there is no more tragic figure in modern history than the political spouse, these days acceptable responses don’t include murder, curses or visits from angry gods. Filing for divorce just doesn’t have the same catharsis as a good bloodletting.<\/p>\n

…Even if Villaraigosa marries her after his divorce, Salinas can only expect his ever-loving devotion until the next hot young thing comes along (and she may already have). He just doesn’t work that way. Even when you’re with Antonio, he’s looking over your shoulder for the better thing to come along – sometimes quite literally. He’s thrown over constituents of the 14th District when he saw a chance to move on to a bigger and better relationship with the entire city. And one day he’ll dump Los Angeles as well.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
