Yeah but it's SPITZER, and right now this seems like it'd have to be pretty bizarre for him to be jumping out in front of it the way that he is

do you think repubs are the only ones that get caught with their pants down?

I think 2 years of hearing about a blue dress schooled us...

so who's Lt Gov again?

David Paterson is Lt Gov and has been tipped as a Senate candidate. Here comes Gov Bloomingberg, I guess.

nabisco the repost was agreeing w/ you.

ah, yer young ... but I read nabisco's post as heavy sarcasm. Projecting?

Just last week, federal prosecutors arrested four people in connection with an expensive prostitution operation. Administration officials would not say that this was the ring with which the governor had become involved.

But a person with knowledge of the governor’s role said that the person believes the governor is one of the men identified as clients in court papers.

The governor’s travel records show that he was in Washington in mid-February. One of the clients described in court papers arranged to meet with a prostitute who was part of the ring, the Emperors Club VIP on the night of Feb. 13.

Mr. Spitzer appeared on a CNBC television show at 7 a.m. the next morning. Later in the morning, he testified before a Congressional committee.

perhaps... i know he's not perfect but i always had spitzer in a special category.

he should be disbarred

This is...I mean WHAT THE FUCK? Of ALL the illegal things to be involved in...he couldn't have, like, ducked out of a speeding ticket, could he. BUT HE CAN BE OUTED AS A JOHN??!??@?@$EJAEK,VB VDFNBJ

at least he should be outed as a pimp

how many recent pols have survived hooker-assoc'd scandal? Barney Frank?

marion barry

guys, it's hard out here for a pimp

this sucks. what a jerk.

what the shit

Can we see pics of the hooker? I might let him off if she was cuet. This is so fucking nuts

What's the chance of any pol being into cuet indie hipster hookers, eh jon?

Wait, was this THIS FEB?!?!?!?

JON DID YOU FUCK ELIOT SPITZER????????

wow that was a short career

Oh I know, Tza, I was posting back to Dan, when he said "you think it's only Republicans..."

And no, Morbs, that was not sarcasm: I've never had enough of a gap between my expectations of a politician and their behavior to feel much of a kick in the chest when it goes down! Actual first time. We'll see what it turns out to be, though. Hahaha maybe we'll get lucky and they're just trying to ramp up expectations so the details will seem minor in comparison.

"we were just talking"

Guy should be meeting girls through MySpace, not paying for it.

this press conference is srsly tardy - how much more ny1 can i take?

Yeah I kind of thought maybe he's trying to get out in front of it and like admit responsibility before the shit really hit the fan, but who knows. Still, I'm not too awful surprised.

Here's the thing: if the GOVERNOR'S hos gets busted, what chance does any prostitution ring have?

NYTimes site not responding...

guy isnt't just the gov, he was the ATTORNEY GENERAL. can't even abide by the fricken penal law?

dude with squeaky-clean rep trying to be abolve the law... shocker?

I just think of that line at the end of Dick: "No president will ever lie to us again."

Now Joe Bruno gets to gloat some more, get some hack Dem in there to run roughshod o'er...?

They charged $1,000 to $5,500 for the ladies' services, and denoted how much the gals were worth by giving a one-to-seven diamond rating on their website.

"She's the Thomas Keller of fellatio."

Yeah, sweet timing: "I'm Eliot Spitzer and we're gonna get started with-- a crap, prostitutes"

"your honor, i have no idea how they saw through my moustache disguise"

This is a real shame, I admired him and am surprised he would do something like when he could have been so easily found out.

This is usually why they wind up doing these sorts of things.

I kind of have no idea who he is...? Or at least I had no awareness of him before this highly-entertaining-from-the-sidelines thread.

well you don't live in NY

hes sort of famous nationally

Yeah, I think I first heard of him in connection with this: new payola investigations!

spitzerwearingimkindofabigdealsnorgshirt.jpg

I thought he might be a gay

be wary of media-created "heroes."

On the plus side, re that payola case, he did win $ from the RIAA that WFMU is still using to put on free concerts.

I am very much a political dilettante so it's not surprising that I wouldn't know who he is.

hes sort of famous nationally

It seemed like a lot of his Wall Street cases were pretty high profile nationally.

Jon, you hope think everybody's gay

Can we smear Hil with this yet?

although obv the same people - site design etc

If you've got the spokes, we've got the models.

We're on quite a run with the NY/NJ/CT governors lately, hmmm?

Which is more shocking - him or Hevesi?

I have no memory of what Hevesi did (like 98% of the pop).

spitzer: i was bad sorry

did not mention what he did or if hes resigning

i'm less surprised by going to a hooker -- because how can that be surprising -- than by doing it in a way that it could be traced to him. i would've thought an atty general would know the ninja secrets of lawbreaking.

http://emperors-spokesmodels.com/Portfolio/racheltbn1.jpg

where can i find some of these "hookers"

spitzer: i was bad sorry

like every public figure's apology ever? he coulda said "I am an American john."

I have acted in a way that violated the obligations to my family and that violates my — or any — sense of right and wrong. I apologize first, and most importantly, to my family. I apologize to the public whom I promised better. I do not believe politics in the long run is about individuals. It is about ideas, the public good and doing what is best for the State of New York. I am disappointed that I failed to live up to the standard that I expect of myself. I must now dedicate some time to regain the trust of my family. I will not be taking questions. Thank you very much. I will report back to you in short order. Thank you very much.

Doesn't violate the playa's sense of right and wrong.

Really, guys, when it gets to that point, just shave it. You are violating your obligations to the public that has to see yr photo alla time, Mr Spitzer, sir.

Here it is: It was a pretty brazen and dumb thing for a guy in his position to do. That said, we are way too puritanical about sex here in the US.

better just to be a sleazoid gangsta like Bruno

SPITZER?!I HARDLY KNEW HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this has nothing to do with sex, it has to do with a lawmaker and governor abiding by the fucking law, no matter what the moral stance on it is.

if he wants to fuck prostitutes, then he should of followed the correct course of changing the laws. las vegas is cool with it.

oh the times reporter on ny1 right now is so hot

spritzen

1. to spurt, to squirt

"this has nothing to do with sex, it has to do with a lawmaker and governor abiding by the fucking law, no matter what the moral stance on it is."

I agree with this

so you'd have voted to impeach Clinton then (and I don't mean for his war crimes)

Me? No, I wouldn't have.

you mean for perjury, right?

bc clinton boinking lewinski was not illegal, whereas spitzer and prositutes was.

What is newsworthy/of public concern here is lawbreaking, not sex, but I imagine Silda agrees with Bill that we should just be less puritanical about these things.

you can be very not puritanical about sex and still think paying for it is bad.

We're talking to Bill Magill, though.

A Cinemax subscription is much cheaper, if you look at the big picture.

spitzer/on ice in new york city/isn't it a pity...

"We're talking to Bill Magill, though."

Ha ha

It's not just an hypocrisy issue with "lawbreaking," it's that it's not good to have the head of state government carrying a vested interest in a criminal operation, or in keeping a criminal operation secret. Not that Spitzer appears to have done much on that front, but it's ... not a positive thing to have happened.

I'm just wondering if cutty (and others) believe

it has to do with a lawmaker and governor abiding by the fucking law, no matter what the moral stance on it is

then how is Billy Blythe perjuring himself not impeachable?

They did impeach him.

interns are better than hookers

fake internet doctors should be impeached

fox is reporting he is under indictment and will resign. anyone know anything about peterson, the lt. gov?

Plus he's a guy who has made his name on the avenging crimefighter image. It's always worse when guys like that do it, it's more like "Do as I say, not as I do". I can't stand that kind of crap, it's like the "wide stance" guy and fucking Jimmy Swaggert.

xp: You know I meant "convict"...

(for one thing, Gore mighta run as a sitting prez in 2000 -- Lewinsky should be yr Nader)

as a mid-twenties brunette intern, i wholeheartedly agree with mr. que.

oh insert "goal-oriented" between mid-twenties and brunette

I can't see how this is like fucking Jimmy Swaggert unless he paid the prostitutes to shriek "YOU'RE GOING TO HELL!" while doing the deed.

Paterson is black and blind.

It wasn't a very well written post. The hypocrisy from guys like Swaggert, Foley, Craig and Spitzer is what bothers me.

He's the former minority leader of the (long-GOP-controlled) State Senate, and his Dad was a borough President.

so is this the country's first legally blind governor?

"would ask you to do things that, like, you might not think were safe..."

SOUNDS LIKE CUET INDIE HIPSTER HOOKER TO ME, jon, all is good

more like client 69 lol

"I'd be like, listen dude, you really want the sex?"

I would love it if Spitzer became an advocate for legalized prostitution.

NYT:

Because of Mr. Spitzer’s ties to Wall Street, CNBC predominately covered the business angle of the breaking news.

“There were whoops and yells when it was reported that he might resign. Mr. Spitzer has never been a very popular person down here,” the correspondent Bob Pisani reported from the New York Stock Exchange, relating the hostile feelings between Wall Street and Mr. Spitzer.

yeah bummer (xpost) but obviously a good part of what they were paying for in those $3k charges was the perception of confidentiality. and it sounds like the service was pretty confidential, it's not like they knew they were getting wiretapped

anyway it's heartening to know that politicians use the same tools as any average joe to rustle up fanny, isn't it nice how the internet has brought us all together?

Casuistry OTM.

Master's in Public Relations indeed!

see, I automatically assume all politicians use prostitutes.

I would think if you were the governor of New York, you could get some play on the side without having to pay. C'mon the guy is the governor of NEW YORK, doesn't that work for something?

FDR would be disappointed.

FDR had a secretary...

FDR had polio.

Yeah. This should have been a straight up-and-up boinking the very pretty 5'5" brunette personal secretary affair, not some sleazy boinking the very pretty 5'5" brunette call-girl sex-thingie.

Charles Foster Kane to thread!!

But he had a blonde.

I am disappointed that Gov'ner Spits'or Swallows wasn't just a wee bit smarter.

I don't think that anyone should be prosecuted for prostitution, jane or john, but Mr. MagooMagill basically right here.

would ask you to do things that, like, you might not think were safe...

No, I will NOT backdate those stock options! Do you realize how much trouble I could catch for that? Look, Mr. Fox, the rim job is free if you just stop talking about unsafe things.

libcrypt you need this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucy_Page_Mercer_Rutherfurd

Look, it was a buildup to a joke I realized wasn't gonna work, primarily because it just got meaner every line I wrote.

In January 2005, when she found herself pondering how best to come to terms with the job of political spouse, Silda Wall Spitzer sought the advice of a woman who was once best known for not fitting so comfortably into that role herself, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.

The two of them convened in Senator Clinton’s Manhattan office and spoke, according to Ms. Wall Spitzer, “about how to maintain a private sphere for our family and how to be helpful in my husband’s campaign.”

“I figured, here’s a woman who also met her husband at law school, who had been a lawyer with a firm, whose husband was a state attorney general before he ran for governor,” she said of Senator Clinton. “There really aren’t that many role models for this.”

expect another call, hilly

He is a Philandering American.

The "he could've gone to an intern /secretary/ mistress " logic doesn't apply so readily in the case of a guy who wants to do things that "like, you might not think were safe".

(multiple xposts)

what a fucking moron

money, clothes and hoes all a Spitzer knows

The New Yorker profiled him not too long ago

http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2007/12/10/071210fa_fact_paumgarten

He didn't seem the most likable person, and seemed to make a lot of mistakes (and enemies) as governor, but I wouldn't have necessarily expected this.

i wouldn't go to the press conference if i was his wife, a compartment of his life that has nothing to do with her is being scrutinised, she isn't married to client 9.

Am I a bad person for only thinking "well thank god Spitzer isn't being caught doing this as a Dem SENATOR!"?

Otherwise, I'm somewhere between not giving a shit and thinking this is kinda funny (aside from the kids thing.)

Something does rub me the wrong way about the wife-by-his-side photos. It seems like he ought to have some solitary "I'm in the doghouse" press conferences first.

I mean all politicians in that situation should.

In January 2005, when she found herself pondering how best to come to terms with the job of political spouse, Silda Wall Spitzer sought the advice of a woman who was once best known for not fitting so comfortably into that role herself, because of the wang, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.

yeah bummer (xpost) but obviously a good part of what they were paying for in those $3k charges was the perception of confidentiality. and it sounds like the service was pretty confidential, it's not like they knew they were getting wiretapped

Those +$3K charges could have bought the Emperors Club some pretty good wiretap detector/counter-intel too. You would think that once the NY Governor became a client they would have gotten more paranoid.

I also saw "The Bank Job" over the weekend and am biased by that.

Doesn't matter how good the confidentiality of the hookers is. The investigation started in the IRS after banks reported odd large cash movements. How can someone who made his name prosecuting finacial cases be so sumb as to be caught moving money through shell companies.

does anyone buy the idea that this has all come about as a result of a "routine" investigation? give me one (1) break!!! "oh yeah, you know, we'd noticed the GOVERNOR of NEW YORK had a couple of funny things going on with his cash, so we decided we'd follow the money, all in a day's work"

I wonder which (post/dnews) flipped the photo. I'm guessing the Daily News since it's also cropped. OTOH maybe the Post so they could put "Ho" under the wife.

I still prefer Colbert's "Eliot Mess" and "WHORES!" to any of those headlines.

Anyway, biz as usual in Albany for the next generation. Thanks, Mr Clean!

the post wins again and again

The Spitzer one is an all time classic.

this coincided nicely with the wire finale too

there *is* something weird about the NYT piece on how the investigation started. I mean.. a couple thousand dollars here and there? that is not a lot of money and not enough to draw interest of the FBI, you would think. were the feds on a fishing expedition to find dirt on the guy or is there more money?

lol yeah, I was thinking about the wiretap too. "major crimes? sheeeeiiit"

Lesson: Should have gone for cheap hookers.

I wonder which (post/dnews) flipped the photo. I'm guessing the Daily News since it's also cropped.

its two photos from different angles - note the hair part, shadows, etc

did Silda sew his lips shut before that photo?

Re the "routine" investigation -- C'mon, like folks gunning for Nixon wasn't part of Watergate? He still deserved what he got.

nixon was taken down by the media - not a governmental agency controlled by opposition party appointees

lol cap'n save-a-john

im not trying to sav-a-anything here - but if it turns out the federal government was targeting an elected official for for wholesale investigation w/o any sort of cause thats a hueg deal and a v bad thing

Casuistry they do! i mean, the hos Spitzer went to even have a web site. it's only when you've got something "public" to lose (i.e. rabbis, cops, etc) that it becomes something to prosecute.

in the UK afaik it's actually not illegal to pay for sex or to get paid for sex, it's only illegal to actively solicit payment for sex.

(so the force of the law, when it is applied, of course comes down only on the women)

that's progressive lol

lol from Kozloi at CSTB:

I’m pretty certain “Client 9″ is an unreleased REM song circa 1984

take a break, driver 8
the ho's all mine, client 9

"Not enforced" isn't quite the same as "legal".

Maybe spitzer will use this incident to set up a legal co-op for prostitutes.

yeah this is true, but some are lobbying to adapt the Swedish model and outlaw paying too.

the Swedish model

i try to adapt all swedish models

to my penis

yes, sex with swedish models without having to pay, basically

unless there are promises of really awesome whore jokes, i'm not gonna wade through this whole thread, but --

has it been noted that the FBI (and i think the IRS, to start) was following some strange money movement, thinking this was all about bribery? and all they found at the end was some call-girl shenanigans, which is usually well below the FBI's radar. but also, funny enough, way more politically lethal.

It's been noted; in fact, that is precisely what some people seem to be holding up as the politically-motivated attack.

i see, now how about those whore jokes?

o wtf

Men love hotels.

Men love hotels perhaps a little bit more than women love hotels, which is saying a lot. Men love hotels in a different way, a dirty way. A hotel -- whether four-star or adjacent to Red Lobster -- is for a man a paradise of discretion, a suspension of one set of rules for another.

if that idiot hadn't had the pro sent from new york to dc it wouldn't have been a federal crime and he probably could have quashed it on his own.

this is my favorite:

Men lose their minds in hotels. Women find peace of mind.

awes dudes thx 4 the roundup

xp lol yeah no call girls in DC are there

lol jhos mad

j/k god

assuming she's not paying tax on that money she takes home more in an hour than i do in a month.

lol jhos singing praises to my holy names

ALL OF THEM

dan perry, major deity

ok let's do some amateur psychologizin'

1 part raw ambition & power (in context of somewhat nerdy childhood, maybe?) nothing is ever enough, that kind of thing.

1 part unseen contours of a marriage, resentments, compromises, quiet desperation, etc.

1 part 'kristen' being hot enough to make the lincoln memorial cry

assuming she's not paying tax on that money she takes home more in an hour than i do in a month.

That fee is split about 50/50 with the agency though, I think.

ok, then she needs to work about 80 minutes a month to make more than me.

Introduction Fees

Emperors’ Club model introduction fees directly correlate to the quality of our model companions. Each model’s respective introduction fee has been placed on her page and is symbolized by the number of diamonds on her page. Beginning with three diamonds at $1,000 or £500 and escalating beyond $2,100 or £1,050 at six diamonds, fees vary according to individual education, sophistication, and ambiance created by each of our models. Choosing from only the most impressive model companion candidates, you'll personally find that Emperors Club is, by far, the most selective social introduction service. Beauty, elegance, erudition, and educational standing / career accomplishments are preliminary decisive factors in hiring. Each model’s character, personality, ability to create desirable atmosphere, interests, family background and career success must be deemed suitable. Initial rates have been established based on the above criteria. With time, promotion, if any, to higher category (ies) is considered and based upon our expanded knowledge of the model’s character and the grace with which she handles public relations / interactions. It is advised to schedule your dates with our models in advance, as each model has place in her schedule for a select number of meetings per month due to her university / career commitments. National and International Travel arrangements require at least 48 hours notice and a minimum 55% deposit. We recognize the importance of personality connection, friendship and comfort level when traveling together / attending social events; hence, hourly introductions are offered to ensure confidence / value prior to committing to travel dates and social engagements with any specific model.

it is terrible of me but I want to know how this went down at the Spitzer household...did she throw shit at him? How did he convince her to stand stoically by his side? Did she know he was a big old whoremonger? It's wrong of me to be curious about this BUT I AM. I blame the media.

kevin I don't know why it's so hard to believe that some prostitutes make that much money!

sorry, "some hoez"

it is extremely terrible of me but i want to know what 'kristen' looks like. i hope i never know, actually.

lol dan is on my case today

I kid because I care!

aww

will spitzer be able to pull a hugh grant and show up on Letterman or something humbled and joking about this whole thing in one year?

No chance.

no because letterman wouldn't let him off the hook like that putz leno.

Maybe if he looked like Hugh Grant instead of looking like someone's molester uncle...

looking at this pic makes me feel :(

dude is an asshole

If you peeps had cared as much about ol' Spitz helping to sign away our civil liberties while AG as you do his whoring, maybe we coulda elected a mildly progressive guv who could serve the whole years. (Apparently Paterson is a way more gungho Clinton enthusiast than C#9.)

though obvs the answer is hooker grad school

The poor guy just wanted some skank! I don't see what's so bad about this. Prostitution should be legal.

well for $3000 she better fucking take it in the pooper

and make a fucking awesome sandwich afterwards

i'm trying to think of what a woman would have to do over the course of an hour for me to give her 3 grand

give me her car?

really the list of things i would expect for $3000 dollars probably excludes me from being a prospective $3000 a/hour john

probably give me three thousand dollars worth of drugs.

what do you mean yr not going to pick my laundry up - did i or did i not just give you three thousand dollars ho?

Here are my 1099s -- I'm going to take a shower.

a few years ago all a girl had to do was work in the bursar's office of my local state school. i laid down everything, and made do with only a wan smile in return...

Although this kind of thing seems to happen every few months, for some reason my heart was breaking for Mrs.Spitzer as I watched her on TV last night. She looked utterly defeated, and he barely acknowledged her the entire time. All I wanted to do was give her a hug.

sooooo he hasnt resigned yet - which means he is either seriously considering not resigning or using the said prospect as leverage in his negotiations w/teh feds.

he's a good enough lawyer to know that he shouldn't give up any bargaining chip until he has to.

^^^. Didn't she give up her career for his bullshit? And those three poor girls... :(

She graduated from Harvard law school and started off in corporate law, but scaled back her career when they had kids. She's active in NPOs now.

She's pretty. She should dump the guy and upgrade.

and that 10m+ divorce settlement wont hurt the ol pocketbook eh

I didn't realize Spitzer was worth that much, or twice that much, as it were. I have a feeling Mrs. Spitzer's going to come out of this thing pretty good. I definitely feel bad for the kids though.

She is quite pretty and Elliot really isn't much to look at. I hope that he resigns so that they can start to put this behind them.

eh was just guessing as to his net worth - i know he sent millions of his own money on his campaign

Poor guy.

George Fox, a friend and campaign contributor of New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer, said on Tuesday he was disappointed and distressed by a report that said Spitzer used his name as an alias when contacting a prostitution ring.

Fox, a hedge fund investor, said the discovery of his name in the sex scandal engulfing Spitzer "comes as a great surprise and disappointment."

HAHAHAHA

WHAT DOES RON MEXICO HAVE TO SAY ABT ALL THIS

ha, Colbert just said he has excellent WHOREDAR.

What? DC prostitutes weren't good enough for him?

Bloomburg on business practices of high-end prostitution services

weirdly, I've known two people who worked as hooker bookers for high end escort services...in fact, one was working out of NYC. i wonder if she worked for these people at some point...I should ask (or maybe I shouldn't). the other worked out of the bay area for people who were in deep IRS tax shit.

how much do the hooker bookers get an hour?

they made alright money, but in the latter case, they weren't paying her taxes, but telling her they were...so I think she turned 'em in.

and by "alright money" i mean they made enough but they weren't rich by any stretch of the imagination

why would a hooker booker person pay taxes? i mean...isn't it illegal anyways?

i initially misread the bay area one, i thought she was booking hookers exclusively for people who were in deep tax shit and i couldn't figure out why that niche would exist.

well if you're working and getting a check from a company for anything you do, you have to pay taxes on it. I think many of these companies work under shell companies (emporer's club has "emporer's publishing" for instance)...and the issue was that they told her they were paying the taxes, but didn't, so when she went to do her own taxes, she found out nothing had been withheld (and wasn't paid to her). this was a long time ago, so I can't really remember all the details.

if you've never been in deep tax shit, you don't know how good it feels to sex a hooker

a pound of flesh

How hot are $3k hookers?

None of the women on the HBO Ho show are even cuet, and they charge like $1000 per act.

Jokester/blogger Barry Crimmins:

For those of you flooding the blogosphere with descriptions of Spitzer's demise as "tragic," I remind you that he was all for the Iraq war. He did nail a few Wall St fat cats but put away exponentially more poor people with his merciless prosecutions of drug law violators, replete with demands for malicious sentences. He came to Albany as a reformer and was almost instantly caught using state cops to spy on a political opponent. When Lt. Governor David Paterson takes over, it will be an upgrade.

Resigning at 1130?

i saw barry crimmins doing stand up in boston about 15 years ago. he's probably better off as a social commentator since they don't need to be funny.

Judging by the ones I've seen, standups don't need to be funny either.

http://www.thenation.com/blogs/thebeat?bid=1&pid=297613

To the end, Spitzer's wife, Silda Wall, and a senior adviser, Lloyd Constantine, urged the governor not to quit.

One argument for staying on held that Spitzer could claim that, while he made a profound personal misstep, he was being targeted because he was a Democrat who had taken on Wall Street.

Last night, the popular activist website www.democrats.com launched a Save Spitzer campaign that pushed this line.

The message was outlined in a letter that promoted an online petition campaign:

Dear Governor Spitzer,

Don't let the Republicans and the rightwing media drive you out of office!

You made a lot of powerful enemies in your career because you took on the most powerful crooks on Wall Street. Now your enemies are trying to get even by destroying your career and your life. Don't let them!

The whole investigation by the Bush Administration stinks to high heaven. This isn't a case of "structuring" or "money laundering." The FBI never investigates johns - so why are they investigating you?

The answer is obvious. George Bush and Karl Rove turned the Justice Department into the political destruction arm of the Republican Party. They've prosecuted 5.6 Democrats for every Republican.

That's why former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman is rotting in jail, and that's what they want to do to you.

As Americans, we are outraged by Bush's endless abuses of justice. If anyone should be removed from office, it's George Bush!

Governor Spitzer, please stand and fight against this outrageous and naked partisan Republican assault. We support you!

The letter and petition were posted by Bob Fertik, the prime mover behind democrats.com, on Tuesday evening. An email blast to the group's extensive lists drew a rapid response that briefly made it tough to reach its site as Spitzer backers -- or, perhaps more precisely, people who simply do not trust any prosecution of a Democrat by the Bush administration -- rushed to sign on.

disgusting :/

Alan Dershowitz was on Anderson Cooper on Monday night saying that this kind of thing wouldn't even be news in Europe, that it was a victimless crime, that it wasn't a dereliction of duty because it didn't involve his job responsibilities, and that he hoped that Spitzer would stay in office and thumb his nose at the Puritans and haters.

yeah he was on talk of the nation too
spitzer was his research assistant for 2 years

And out.

Oh so Bruno will be Lt Gov? Sigh.

But there's a working relationship there!

shall we compare/contrast today's Silda pose vs Monday's?

Alessandra Stanley today in NYT on that ass A.D.:

“In Europe this wouldn’t even make the back pages of the newspaper.” (Either Mr. Dershowitz doesn’t travel much or he reads his newspapers back to front.)

Spitzer can no longer be a superdelegate for Hilary, and she doesn't get a replacement one. So sad.

Dershowitz so not otm. The dereliction of his duty (by visiting hookers before being guv) while AG is enough to take him out of this as I see it.

if spitzer tried to stay on and fight this he'd only taint the party more

Yeah, I kind of think Dershowitz was blowing hot air too. I'm kind of reflexively suspicious of any argument that starts with "In Europe they would do this differently", especially, as in this case, when the hypothetical scenario of how this would play there seems implausible.

Why can't a governor do some undercover investigation?

Dershowitz is a fucking partisan-hack douchebag. What he and his cronies did to Finkelstein is horrible.

Maybe he was making sure the diamond ratings were fair and accurate?

Kiu jon

Do the words "officer of the court" mean nothing to Mr. Dershowitz?

This lowers his diamond rating considerably.

Technically lawyers are "officers of the court" too.

Dershowitz was Spitzers mentor in law school, so of course he's going to defend the dude. Spitzer was a fucking idiot for what he did; here's one of the few people who could reign in Wall Street douchebags, and he screws it up.

You've got to believe Spitzer was targeted for political reasons... people have been searching for years on anything to bust this guy.

i felt really sorry for his wife a couple days ago

Spitzer should've been like Nader, a celibate loner weirdo

xp a politician targeted for political reasons??? thats nuts.

You've got to believe Spitzer was targeted for political reasons... people have been searching for years on anything to bust this guy.

No fucking shit. That doesn't mean dude gets a free pass to blow tens of thousands of dollars on hookers.

They all do it, but they only use "illegal state-line-crossing transport of people for the purpose of prostitution" against you if they choose to.

With the resources the federal government used to get Spitzer, you'd think they were trying to bust a 10 billion dollar shipment of cocain personally helmed by the world's most elusive drug kingpin or something.

Probably would have been better with a cheap hooker since there'd be less of a money trail and a $200 tranny hooker isn't very credible in the press

No fucking shit. That doesn't mean dude gets a free pass to blow tens of thousands of dollars on hookers. That's a really good reason not to give them something with which to crucify you, genius.

well, spitzer used a lot of government resources to go after his crusades too, which he built his political career on. what's the difference?

tranny... now you mention it, dude does kinda look like he might wear wigs & makeup in his spare time (xxpost)

Only 1 K! Don't call him a spendthrift liberal.

She left “a broken family” at age 17, having been abused, according to the MySpace page, and has used drugs, “been broke and homeless.”

people say this on their myspace pages!?

god she sounds horrible and pity-mongering. i wanted to like her. i wanted her to be fun.

otm

all relevant info lifted from myspace? way to dig, times.

On the Web page is a recording of what she describes as her latest track, “What We Want,” an amateurish, hip-hop inflected rhythm and blues tune that asks, “Can you handle me, boy?” and uses some dated slang, calling someone her “boo.”

“I know what you want, you got what I want,” she sings in the chorus. “I know what you need. Can you handle me?”

She's all about the music, bell labs!

good job, guys

she had slept very little over the past week

nor with many clients.

where is this myspace. i want to see it in it's glitter blinged out glory.

story is making me furious. hack job bs.

i think someone has to be pretty down on themselves to want to become a prostitute, bell labs

How dare a hooker not live up to a projected image.

'boo' is dated slang?

but i did want her to be cool :/

That we have a myspace for this hooker is the best part of the story yet.

If she turned out to be on ILX, I think my brain would explode.

She left a broken home on the Jersey Shore at 17 and came to New York City to work the nightclubs as a rhythm and blues singer.

Am I an idiot for thinking she sang/wanted to sing... y'know... rhythm and blues and not R&B?

He only picked a 3 star whore when he could just as well have paid for a 6 star one? Stupid man. Now he won't be able to anymore.

aww

cuet hoar

quote from mom is a little bizarro

“She is a very bright girl who can handle someone like the governor,” Ms. Capalbo said in a telephone interview Wednesday. “But she also is a 22-year-old not a 32-year-old or a 42-year-old and she obviously got involved in something much larger than her.”

She's sitting on a yacht there - don't tell me the DNC kept the Monkey Business in service after that Gary Hart thing?

her myspace actually comes across as less annoying than the article made it sound. though i haven't heard the song yet.

uh

Surround yourself around people that are making moves, and doing what "they want and love" with their lives, positive energy...thats what life is all about...living. Because if you dont, misery loves company, they will only try to bring you down with them...but the question is, are you strong enough, to not let that happen?

i don't really buy this. i'm sorry if i have trouble feeling sorry for someone who makes x1000 an hour than i am by blowing rich dudes.

lol are you being serious?

i dunno i cant imagine resorting to sex for money is, like, the sign of a healthy brane

It's the economy, stupid.

(NB: I refer here to a generic 'stupid', rather than to any specific ILXor, living or dead.)

she's cuet <3

resorting to sex for money and not living somewhere really awesome/expensive seems kinda pointless

she lives in the flatiron district

i can totally understand a 22 year old resorting to sex for money, especially if it had this whole glamorous high-end thing attached to it.

I heard an interview a while back with Peter Sagal (NPR guy who wrote Book of Vice) where he talked about his job ghostwriting the autobiography of porn-director Gail Palmer. She had been passed off as this sophisticated revolutionary to make the films seem more enticing but she turned out to just be a front/marketing device for her mobster boyfriend. I have a feeling a similar phenomenon is at play with many high priced call girls

I mean I'm sure Kristen is a sweet girl, but she's obviously a bit desperate and confused. They make the escorts sound like globe-trotting free spirits for whom prostitution is just another adventure in an interesting life - takes the guilt out of it.

to be fair hurting there's a competing narrative which strips prostitutes of any agency whatsoever

oh yeah of course. I'm not saying escort services of this sort are the ultimate exploitation, just noticing it's funny how people who think of themselves as intelligent and progressive allow themselves to be fooled and relieved of guilt by a little clever marketing

Psh, I think she's from exploited.

As Casey above has said, with the NY Times linking your myspace page to their website, I'd encourage you to take this page down unless you are prepared to deal with the bull rush of ignorant, mean-spirited people who are bound to come to your page to say hurtful things. Each of their insults will only stem from their own insecurities. Nobody is perfect, and judging by your blog entry and your self-analysis on your page, you have been through a lot and yet you are remarkably self-aware and have a strong serenity about you.

Just a few words from someone who knows that no one is perfect... we are all human. Don't let the haters hate.

No one should be angry that that hired a call girl. It's the fact that he is so crack down hard on them, in his plight as Governor. Who knows how long has he really been partaking in extra circular activities. She isn't the first. And i'm sure won't be the last.

What I wonder is why so many random people care?
Have they been in that "wrecked home?"
That man & his wife won't divorce. This isn't the end of them....
This is only the beginning, really if you think about it.
So many more politicians will get fucked and get caught.
Of course her business was going to be strewn all about the internet, once she was found out.

Even 3 different names couldn't keep her from them. They're good.

yeah and this story is only like 6 hours old

she already has over 2 mil page views

wouldn't the same thing happen when you go to snoop's page?

xp

I just wanted to tell you first that I cannot understand something like this happening to anyone. I have been through similar stuff that you have been through. I have hurt too. I have felt sad too. I had a family and watched her and my son leave me just for trying to get my life straight in school. It hurts, but I am making it. My whole point is just to keep your head up. I am not sure if you will ever read this from all the messages you have been getting, but just understand you have made it a long way. Maybe the way you got there wasnt exactly kosher, but it got you through, it got you there. You are a beautiful young lady with so much potential.

If you are ever in florida, let me know, Ill get some tickets sold for ya. Keep your career up, let this pass, dont crack, and please dont stop the music. You will be fine. If you need to talk, I am here, even though i am a stranger I will listen.

Whores are rated out of 10 just like anything else, but you have to be royalty or top 100 on the forbes rich list to even get a look at a photo of an 8, 9 or 10 diamond whore.

So, who are the other clients?

I mean, if this isn't a "let's get Spitzer" operation, shouldn't their names be known by now?

ok, other than his Dukeship.

The Entrapment of Eliot
By ALAN M. DERSHOWITZ
March 13, 2008 (WSJ)

The federal criminal investigation that has led to Eliot Spitzer's resignation as governor of New York illustrates the great dangers all Americans face from vague and open-ended sex and money-transaction statutes.

Federal law, if read broadly, criminalizes virtually all sexual encounters for which something of value has been given. Federal money-laundering statutes criminalize many entirely legitimate and conventional banking transactions. Congress enacted these laws to give federal prosecutors wide discretion in deciding which "bad guys" to go after.

Generally, wise and intelligent prosecutors use their discretion properly -- to target organized crime, terrorism, financial predation, exploitation of children and the like. But the very existence of these selectively enforced statutes poses grave dangers of abuse. They lie around like loaded guns waiting to be used against the enemies of politically motivated investigators, prosecutors and politicians.

There is no hard evidence that Eliot Spitzer was targeted for investigation, but the story of how he was caught does not ring entirely true to many experienced former prosecutors and current criminal lawyers. The New York Times reported that the revelations began with a routine tax inquiry by revenue agents "conducting a routine examination of suspicious financial transactions reported to them by banks." This investigation allegedly found "several unusual movements of cash involving the Governor of New York." But the movement of the amounts of cash required to pay prostitutes, even high-priced prostitutes over a long period of time, does not commonly generate a full-scale investigation.

We are talking about thousands, not millions, of dollars. We are also talking about a man who is a multimillionaire with numerous investments and purchases. The idea that federal investigators would focus on a few transactions to corporations -- that were not themselves under investigation -- raises as many questions as answers.

Even if Mr. Spitzer's derelictions were serendipitously discovered as a result of routine, computerized examination of bank transactions, the dangers inherent in selective use of overbroad criminal statutes remain. Money laundering, structuring and related financial crimes are designed to ferret out organized crime, drug dealing, terrorism and large-scale financial manipulation. They were not enacted to give the federal government the power to inquire into the sexual or financial activities of men who move money in order to hide payments to prostitutes.

Once federal authorities concluded that the "suspicious financial transactions" attributed to Mr. Spitzer did not fit into any of the paradigms for which the statutes were enacted, they should have closed the investigation. It's simply none of the federal government's business that a man may have been moving his own money around in order to keep his wife in the dark about his private sexual peccadilloes.

But the authorities didn't close the investigation. They expanded it, because they had caught a big fish in the wide net they had cast.

In this case, they wiretapped 5,000 phone conversations, intercepted 6,000 emails, used surveillance and undercover tactics that are more appropriate for trapping terrorists than entrapping johns. Unlike terrorism and other predatory crimes, prostitution is legal in many parts of the world and in some parts of the U.S. Even in places like New York, where it is technically illegal, johns are rarely prosecuted. Prostitution rings operate openly, advertising "massage" and "escort" services in the back pages of glossy magazines, local newspapers and television sex channels.

If the federal government really wanted to shut down these operations, they could easily do it without a single wiretap or email intercept. All they would have to do is get an undercover agent to answer the ads, arrange for the "escort" to go from New York to New Jersey and be arrested. But many in law enforcement would much rather reserve these statutes for selective use against predetermined targets.

In this case, if the serendipitous bank audit really led federal agents to Mr. Spitzer, and Mr. Spitzer led them to the Emperor's Club, and federal prosecutors really wanted to get the Club, they could easily have sent an undercover cop to pose as a john, instead of tapping phones and reading emails -- tactics designed to catch and embarrass Mr. Spitzer with his own recorded words, which could be, and were, leaked to the media. As this newspaper has reported: "It isn't clear why the FBI sought the wiretap warrant. Federal prostitution probes are exceedingly rare, lawyers say, except in cases involving organized-crime leaders or child abuse. Federal wiretaps are seldom used to make these cases . . ."

Lavrenti Beria, the head of Joseph Stalin's KGB, once quipped to his boss, "show me the man and I will find the crime." The Soviet Union was notorious for having accordion-like criminal laws that could be adjusted to fit almost any dissident target. The U.S. is a far cry from the Soviet Union, but our laws are dangerously overbroad.

Both Democrats and Republicans have targeted political adversaries over the years. The weapons of choice are almost always elastic criminal laws. And few laws are more elastic, and susceptible to abuse, than federal laws on money laundering and sex crimes. For the sake of all Americans, these laws should be narrowed and limited to predatory crimes with real victims.

SPITZER BIOGRAPHY

NAME: Eliot L. Spitzer

AGE: 48. Born New York City.

FAMILY: Married to Silda Wall Spitzer, a Harvard Law School graduate and lawyer in the non-profit sector. The couple has three daughters, ages 17, 15 and 13.

EDUCATION: Princeton University, 1981; Harvard Law School, 1984.

EXPERIENCE: Law clerk for U.S. District Judge Robert Sweet, 1984-85; private law practice, 1985-86; assistant district attorney in Manhattan, 1986-92; chief of labor racketeering unit of Manhattan district attorney's office, 1991-92; private law practice, 1992-1998; attorney general, 1999-2006; governor, 2007-present.

AS GOVERNOR: Elected with a historic 69% of the vote, Spitzer's hard-charging ways quickly put him at odds with the powerful Republican leader of the state Senate and his agenda stalled amid political scandal and polls that showed most New Yorkers would not vote for him again as governor. Two aides were disciplined for using the state police to track the movements of Spitzer's chief political rival.

He was able to push through moderate reforms on the budget, ethics and workers compensation but one of his signature efforts, campaign finance, languished.

QUOTE: "I apologize first and most importantly to my family. I apologize to the public, who I promised better. I do not believe that politics in the long run is about individuals. It is about ideas, the public good and doing what is best for the state of New York. But I have disappointed and failed to live up to the standard I expected of myself. I must now dedicate some time to regain the trust of my family."
