He's out. Apparently he is trying to cop a plea on the money laundering and other charges. He better hope the prosecutor isn't the a**hole he was. When this is over he'll be lucky to have a gig doing dog bite cases.
I agree with others here who say that one's personal life is no one's business, however when a politician olds himself out as someone morally better than everyone else, then he becomes fair game. Its just like Larry Craig who made a career of gay bashing and then turned out to be slociting sex in a men's room. If he had been closeted, or if he had kept his mouth shut on the issue, I'd say his orientation was his own business.
Of course there is another distinction here. Craig and Spitzer BROKE THE LAW. When a public official is charged with a crime, it is no longer a "private matter."
BTW how does someone whose wife doesn't work and who has been an elected official for some time now afford an apartment at 983 Fifth Avenue, and while we are at it, where did he get all that money for hookers? And what in God's name can some babe do that's worth $4500 an hour?

Your opinion, Don T. Your gut feeling:
Do they cut him a deal to avoid jail time, or is jail a must for money laundering under the Federal Guidelines? My gut is they do not bring the laundering or possible tax evasion charges against him. Maybe he turns state's evidence. My guess is he leads to some kind of 3rd degree felony, pays a fine and surrenders his law license.

I'm sure there's a huge difference between a $50 hooker and a $500 hooker. But how much better can it be for $4,500 an hour? Does she turn into a bottle of Johnny Walker Blue and six of your best friends after you're done?

Boy, these reporters are top notch coming up with that exclusive. Right? Still, in spite of the fact that Spitzer did something incredibly stupid (and got caught), I almost feel sorry for him. I definitely feel sorry for his family.

Would you leave the President of the US? I'd stay with him till he left office then I would rake his cheating ho ass over the coals.
I'd stay with him, then parlay it into a Senate seat, then make a run at the Presidency myself. Oh, has that idea been taken already?

One time, I skimmed through Bill Clinton's BULLSHIT of an autobiography and he talked of Hillary hated him blah blah after the Lewinsky scandal blew up in public. And I thought, what bullshit. She knew of Bubba's "hard work" back in Arkansas in the 80s. I mean, besides the "Bent Jonhnson" incident I described in the "Weird Celebrity Stories" thread, there was a time when while she was hosting a reception on the front lawn of the Governor's Mansion, while Bubba was pulling a Sonny Corleone inside the House.

Report: Spitzer Call Girl Identified NEW YORK (AP) - New details emerged Wednesday about the call girl at the center of the prostitution scandal engulfing New York's governor, with a newspaper report identifying her as a 22-year-old aspiring musician from Manhattan. The New York Times reported that the real name of the prostitute - identified as "Kristen" in court papers alleging that Gov. Eliot Spitzer paid more than $4,000 for her services - is Ashley Alexandra Dupre. Don D. Buchwald, a New York lawyer, confirmed to The Associated Press that he represents Ashley Alexandra Dupre, the same woman in the Times story. "That's as far as I can go," he said. A man who answered the phone at the home of the woman's mother in New Jersey and identified himself as Dupre's brother, Kyle, told the AP he did not know why Dupre would agree to be interviewed about the scandal. "I've talked to my sister every five minutes since this happened, and I'm not going to comment on it," he said. "She's just trying to get through this." Dupre's MySpace page provides a window into her life as she went from a broken home in New Jersey to a music career in the city. "I have been alone. I have abused drugs. I have been broke and homeless. But, I survived, on my own. I am here, in NY because of my music," she wrote. In an Aug. 30 blog posting on MySpace, she writes: "The past few months have been a roller coaster with so called friends, lovers, and family ... but its something you have to deal with and confront in order to move on ..." "What destroys me strengthens me" is the slogan next to a Dupre photograph. The photos show her at various places, including in a bikini on a boat in a tropical locale. The number of hits to the page soared by the tens of thousands after the story broke. Dupre describes her favorite musical artists as Etta James, Aretha Franklin, Celine Dion, Christina Aguilera and Frank Sinatra, among many others. Her Web site boasts a recording of a song, "What We Want.""I know what you want, you got what I want. I know what you need. Can you handle me?" she sings. She briefly spoke to the Times about the Spitzer scandal. Law enforcement officials identified the governor as a "Client 9" who had a Feb. 13 tryst with "Kristen" and paid her $4,300, according to court papers. "I just don't want to be thought of as a monster," Dupre told the Times. "This has been a very difficult time. It's complicated." She told the newspaper she had slept very little since the allegations against Spitzer were revealed. Dupre told the Times she worried about paying her rent in a ninth-floor Manhattan apartment after her boyfriend recently left her. She said she was considering moving back in with her family in New Jersey. She declined to comment when asked by the Times when she first met Spitzer and how many times they had been together. Dupre apparently appeared in federal court Monday as a witness in the case against four people accused of operating the Emperors Club VIP prostitution ring. http://apnews.myway.com/article/20080312/D8VC6Q6G0.html
