Just got home to find that Eliot Spitzer, the Dem guv of New York, has done a Vitter and been caught on tape with a prostitute. Josh Marshall comments here and here.
What I wanna know is, what do these ho’s know how to do that’s worth $5,500/hr??? I mean, do they throw in a fine home-cooked gumbo or something?
One of y’all emails that Faux Noise MISreported that Spitzer has been indicted and resigned — neither true but both par for their course. And one of my off-blog friends writes:
"I must now rededicate some time to regaining the trust of my family. " Shorter Spitzer: "They don’t make a strong enough tranquilizer. Please don’t let my wife near any sharp implements. "
I see some more serious-looking email awaits too, and I’ll be replying to y’all when I’ve had a closer look. Meanwhile, thank you for the alerts.
UPDATE: riddenword reports, “NYTimes confirms its website went down. It has happened twice before, on Sept 11, 2001, and again when AA flight 857 crashed in Queens. They have 10 times the bandwidth now, and it still went down.”
“what do these ho’s know how to do…” My question exactly. Course, if PL Blake can command the kind of bucks he made for clipping articles and watchin’ CNN… Whatever the market will bear…
Democrats and Republicans are equally capable of criminal acts and general stupidity.
Somehow brings the infamous Big Jim Folsom to mind………….
Women or money…..nothing new under the sun.
Client-9 is supposedly Spitzer…starts around page 25-26.

Yet another example of why I despise nearly all politicians, liberal or conservative, Democrat or Republican. It seems like the moment they announce they’re running, they immediately become disqualified to serve the people. I know there are some exceptions, but honestly, it is really hard to name many who haven’t disappointed me. And if they haven’t, it’s probably because they just haven’t been caught yet. OK, I know I’m way too cynical. But I can’t help it, that’s how I feel about it.
Client #9 tells one this Dicks pattern of deceit just didn’t start two weeks ago. To pay 4300.00 a visit from anyone is absurd, and to think he could have learned from ole Juls and gotten it for free with a car and security thrown in.
I’ve got to adjust my rates ASAP
I imagine your looks might have something to do with it also. Not that I know MT:)
The portion of the wiretap by Kristen accepting the job with client #9 indicates that she’s been w/ him before and alludes to a safety issue. Maybe she can command such a high price for the kinky element? I’m trying to find the link from that portion aired last pm on Nightline…
Talking with the wifemate about this last night raised an amusing thought. Should he be more redfaced for simply consorting with a prostitute or for paying THAT much money to do so?? But this does bring to mind a quote from the Charley Sheen flap from years ago. One commentator there said that you don’t pay a prostitute for sex; you pay them to LEAVE when the sex is done, to get out of your life.
Be careful, Sailor — gotta email yesterday from a foloer complaining about a leather-chic ad on this thread (that I didn’t see but nilly threatened this foloer with a case of the vapors).
Should I be offended DB?
Not anywhere as much as Mrs. Spitzer, MT (whose side of the family, let us hope, their kids’ looks take after).
If I were her… I’d charge from now on. She’s earned it
Lotus, I saw the ad…did anyone else? I can’t keep vigil over the rotations. Need some help out there. It was ironic that it was up right around the time the Spitzer news was breaking. The one that immediately followed was a little edgy as well. From A&E Gene Simmons being showered w/ bras advertising a show called Gene Simmons’ “Family Jewels…my smellin’ salts, Aunt Pitty
She’s a beautiful Lady and I hope she and those girls move to the opposite part of the world away from him. Don’t you know he was fun to live with anyway.
MT 12 – Not sure. The comment certainly wasn’t directed at you personally (I don’t know who you are, first of all).
My comment was just a general comment that politicians of both sides seem to be equally capable of doing things such as this. Spitzer especially cut his teeth as a moralistic, bombastic prosectutor, and now look.
Oh, MT, just a guess but I imagine Mrs. Spitzer WILL CHARGE him but not for sex in the marital bed. As I understand it she’s a high-powered lawyer in her own right. Oh back to the ads. The one featured now is a McCain attack ad against Mitt Romney!???? What’s going on?????
My ads are for free Powerpoint templates and instant background checks.
Mine went to that, DN, now it’s back on the McCain ad whoops, now Spyware
DN… teasing here, but I’ve just realized that I intended Delta Boy rather than Delta Native…
That makes perfect sense. Thanks.
Hey, mine is on the LOVE TEST. We are probably under cyber attack by the moral police and I an’t taking the test. They not finding out where my money is being wired or how much my sweet potatoes are worth.
Mag, flowah has denied knowledge of these morally bankrupt ads. Bless her heart. I wouldn’t take the test either, and was afraid to click on the dominatrix yesterday for fear of what might be sent my way in the future. I did click on the Gene simmons Family Jewels cuz it was A&E but it was pretty racy, as I’ve noted.
