Cousin Dupre? No way!

Down with the Media!

They're withholding details about this, ignoring it so it'll go away!

They're... oh...

Diving to the bottom of an unworthy story!

Down with the Media!

Actually, I am saddened for her family that this is public. My sister was an exotic dancer, when my parents found out (on national television) ...it just crushed them. There is a distinct possibility that her family has no idea what she does for a living.

Spitzer is really creating some collateral damage with this.

She'll give Wonkette a real run for the limelight, eh?

Too bad the msm doesn't but the same amount of energy into things that matter: hostages taken over a year ago for one.....

re: #4 Cognito

Oh, shut up.

"diving to the bottom" hell!
They got the scoop because they're already down there!

sorry- i do not --and can not--read this thread about a whore and her john. the last thread has sickened me--WHY has this hostage story not been on the front page of every newspaper? or the lead story on every TV newscast?

Hey, she's not bad. But is she $5000 worth?

When I think "babe-a-licious", her picture does not come to mind.

Drudge has her myspace linky. There seems to be a depressing air to the ladies that fall into this line of work. Young, beautiful, dumb as a box of hammers.

I'm really on the brink of being completely fed up with you, Cognito.

Bill Keller must be so proud--he has finally found somebody to look down on. Problem is, at least she is honest about selling her virtue. All Bill Keller got for his actions were some severed fingers.

Here's more photos of the 22 year old whore at smoking gun.

re: #14 Charles

There and beyond, Charles

Funny how the NYTimes never mentioned Obama's racist church..

Let's see....she has been abused, homeless and used drugs. Did someone say something about a better quality hooker for that price? No I didn't think so.

Uh oh...

BOMP BOMP BOMMMMMMMP! [godzilla.wav]!

re: #14 Charles

I'm really on the brink of being completely fed up with you, Cognito.

I'm sorry to hear that. But I think I made a legitimate point, there: If the New York Times -- who broke this story -- weren't dogging it, I suspect folks would say they were ignoring it in the midst of, say, Obama's rise to the throne.

If that means I need really do need to "shut up," then say so. I'll head out with kind regards. But I do think it's not a frivolous point.

Check out Ashley's MySpace "friends"...

Whitney

Madonna

Mary J. Blige

Amy Winehouse

Celine Dion (?.?.?)

Anyone who had a notion that she would write a best seller and make a boatload better think again.

Well, she's probably going to come out of all this smelling like a rose - book deals, music deal, and probably a Playboy spread.

The Times uncharacteristically took the lead on this story. I'm frankly surprised at that.

What this says is that when the Times wants to get to the bottom of a story, it knows how to completely surround and beat it to a bloody pulp. With great power comes great responsibility - all too often they use those investigative chops to leak national secrets or reveal classified information. How about spending more time investigating the enemies of the nation and corruption within our country. You'd be surprised what you could dig up going through the State Assembly (heck, there are a couple facing DUI and other assorted corruption charges from just the past month, let alone the past year). NJ is even worse. That's right in your backyard. Have at 'em.

re: #19 snowcrash

Your shilling is so obvious, it makes me sick. You're hanging on by a thread here, and if you want to take yourself elsewhere I won't stop you.

Imagine if they spent one tenth as much energy and money investigating Juanita Broderick's claim that a governor raped her as opposed to a governor who was in a "situation" in which both parties had an agreement.

All this violent reaction to good ol gun grabbing NY governor.

DEMOCRAT Governor.

Imagine if he were a Republican.

Congress would already be holding their mock impeachment hearings.

Can we on the right speak the phrase "Culture of Corruption" ? Or is that reserved for Democrats talking about Republicans?

This morning I heard something about his 'people' are working with the "Justice" department trying to get a plea deal of some sort that involves no jail time and done in such a way that he doesn't lose his ability to be a lawyer.

I mean.... he only paid for prostitutes to come across state lines in order to diddle them, then tried to get his bank to help him cover it up. It isn't like he did anything wrong...

*smirk*

All of the information I've seen makes me think that he, like all of the rest of the lawyer-turned-politicians (generally read: scum), is only sorry that he was caught.

His poor wife. Finds out that her husband is diddling hookers on an interstate deal.... then forced to stand up there with him to show 'solidarity' . . .

The NY Times scooped the NY Sun out of the break. The Sun had already reported earlier in the week that the feds were working on a major prostitution ring bust. The Times picked up from there. It was only a matter of time before a media outlet found out who - and let's be assured that Spitzer isn't the only one who will get outed as clients.

There are others - after all, he was client number 9. That means there were at least 8 others (hey, I wasn't a math major, but will be staying in a Holiday Inn Express).

The Times is in a position to break news and set tone for coverage. They've decided to go full bore here. It would be nice if they took that kind of coverage and directed it in the direction of CAIR and MAS, among others - or the Holy Land Foundation. That was the thrust of Charles' comment.

22? There's still plenty of time for this young woman to get her act together and, hopefully, get off the self-destructive path she's on.

Good luck to her.

Can't wait for the Law & Order episode. "Ripped from the headlines--a politician chooses serviced over service."

News today is very depressing. Especially the last thread. And I hate it because that's exactly what the jihadis want.

re: #66 lawhawk

Oddly enough, I AM a math major.

Not a small number of posters have commented on "Kristin's" looks and not been impressed. That's not the issue. What is being bought is a fantasy, and the more elaborate the fantasy, and the more convincingly she pulls it off, the more money it's worth -- indeed the cost is part of the panache -- if you're paying that much, then you must be getting something really special. It's sort of a form of personal theater, but one where the level of reality of one aspect of the performance effectively masks the unreality of the whole situation.

In Woody Allen's story "The Whore of Mensa" he describes a fictional call girl racket for people who want intelligent conversation. But they weren't just selling intellectual experiences ...

They were peddling emotional ones, too. For fifty bucks, I learned, you could "relate without getting close." For a hundred, a girl would lend you her Bartok records, have dinner, and then let you watch while she had an anxiety attack. For one-fifty, you could listen to FM radio with twins. For three bills, you got the works: A thin Jewish brunette would pretend to pick you up at the Museum of Modern Art, let you read her master's, get you involved in a screaming quarrel at Elaine's over Freud's conception of women, and then fake a suicide of your choosing - the perfect evening, for some guys. Nice racket. Great town, New York.

The good satirist that he is, Mr. Koenigsberger hits the nail on the head -- at that level it's not the sex -- it's the fantasy, the emotional experience that is what commands the high price.

You really can't see a better use of the NYT's resources on this story than digging up the name of the whore he screwed?

Indeed, although ultimately the power ends up being part of the fantasy. In reality he has no power over her -- she's playing a part and cares nothing for him except as a source of cash. The knowledge of that would, for someone like him, ruin the buzz.

According to this article on the MSN site, where they interviewed another "high priced call girl":

Q: How much does the service make?

A: The booker — whoever organizes the appointments, which is either over the telephone or the Internet — makes 10 percent off the top, then it’s split 50-50 between the girl and the agency.

According to my math, that works out to $450 per hour net.

Ugh! I'm sick of this story! Are we really surprised to find a liberal says one thing and does another?

It's beyond that. This strikes at the very heart of our financial world!

Sad for her? Gimme a break. First of all she's probably got millions stashed away somewhere. Been living the high life and everybody is tripping over themselves ready to offer a spread in Playboy-like rag or some other soft porn mag. Then Hollywood will step in, offer her a movie contract, she'll end up with a #1 single cause today's kids know sweet shit about music and she'll retire at the ripe old age of 25. Maybe start The Spitzer Fragrance cologne line that'll sell millions. Cause, this is what America loves. People have become celebrity whores, on both sides of the spectrum. Those who read and watch this crap and those who want star-dumb. Surprised at the NYT story? Not one bit.

re: #143 bubbalouey

I guess you don't care for salacious gossip.

I like gossip OK in limited quantities.

I am glued to the Kwame Kilpatrick story and I was down in Florida watching the shuttle launch.
So by the time I got back to this story it was already so over-cooked I just couldn't bother with it.

So what, A guy likes hookers. He got busted. he's apparently resigning.
that's all. did I miss anything ?

Cognito, since you represent the opposite view here, let me tell you what i would like.

I have been researching this furiously over the last couple of days since it broke, specifically because of the front group angle.

Not to sound indifferent, but my hunch tells me Mr. Spitzer was probably not paying the kind of scratch he was laying down for a Bette Midler wannabe.

Stoke my intellect.

How about going after the the story behind the front group, laundering money internationally, with the angle of a legal eagle who claims to be a steamroller.

What I really think, is we could really have a story here about old eastern bloc girls being sold into sex slavery, some slimy political cronies with previous presidential pardons, and a current democratic candidate who has rubbed elbows with a couple of folks at the center of it, in her bid for the initial senate seat.

Please, dig, dig, dig!

It's a foregone conclusion his piece of tail would be young and hot.

The ampersand problem is now history.

re: #128 MandyManners

If it is like the other X's on people's hands in clubs, it would be to signify that at the time the picture was taken, they were not yet 21.

In clubs that have alcohol and allow people under 21 in (generally hot ladies), they put an X on their hand so that they don't serve them alcohol.

Or it could have just been proof that she paid the door charge to get in.

I think obama would be assassinated... especially with Hillary as VP.

If anyone were to take a shot they'd certainly need do it long before he takes office. Security from what I've read is far from what it need be. I think Obama's asking for an attempt. I think he's being serious derelict in protecting himself. The crowds are too large and security is too lax.

Nice to be missed. Company I work for is out of the Left Coast, so I don't want to set off any alarms by going to LGF.

They allow personal internet use as long as it is short, does not interfere with work, involve sexual material or involve going to 'hate sites'

I have a feeling LGF would qualify as the last of those, given some of the other policies (such as their gun policy, which doesn't let me have my concealed carry firearm in my car.)

re: #154 formercorpsman

Good luck. I tried during the St. Louis minaret story, to suggest that Cognito use his formidable mainstream media skillz to figure out how a mosque made up of persons who came here as refugees in the 90s could now afford a 1.5 million dollar plot of land to build a new mosque on (not including the mosque itself, which hasn't been built yet).

He wouldn't bother unless he was paid.

Funeral Picketing Law Struck Down

The Kansas Supreme Court effectively ended a law banning picketing at funerals, ruling Tuesday that it was unconstitutional for legislators to require a court to uphold the law before it could be enforced.

That "judicial trigger" was intended to prevent the Westboro Baptist Church from collecting damages from the state after a successful appeal of the law.

The law was passed in response to the sect's picketing of military funerals; the Rev. Fred Phelps and his followers claim U.S. combat deaths are God's punishment for the nation's tolerance of homosexuality.

Ruling on a law before it can be enforced usurps power from the Legislature, Justice Marla J. Luckert wrote in the unanimous ruling.

"Courts do not have jurisdiction over purely hypothetical questions associated with nonexistent issues," she wrote.

The court did not address the merits of the 2007 law, which bars protesters from being within 150 feet of a funeral one hour before, during or two hours after a service ends. It also makes it unlawful to obstruct any public street or sidewalk.

The law also allows families to sue if they feel protesters defamed the dead. That single provision survives after the court's ruling.

Oddly enough, the X on the hand is where the 'straightedge' movement got their X on their hands for.

re: #180 NoSubmission

Must have been an acute infection of liberalism. I hear it sucks the life out of you and makes you feel tired and crappy.

The only cure is firearms, red meat and laughing at hippies.

The girls I feel sorry for are the ones on the street drugged up on heroin or some other killer drug who are beat up daily by their pimps. This Spitzer girl is like the Donald Trump of whores...I have no pity or sympathy for her at all. She's probably a very intelligent girl to have attained this rarified lifestyle hob-nobbing with the rich and famous. Anyway, what's the difference between hiring a high-class hooker or having some old foggy buying a young 22-old a 15,000 mink coat or necklace or wining and dining them on a weekend trip to Paris, Monoco, etc. Same difference. But one is called a whore and the other a girlfriend. Who gives a flying f***ck. This story wouldn't even get press in France.

One reason being that in the past Spitzer went after other prostituion rings. He knew his involvement with this one was illegal but decided he wanted to be a, um, member.

I was in a doctor's waiting room earlier today. The TV in the room was tuned into CNN. Spitwad press conference came on and entire room started laughing. Most were trying to be polite and were snickering under their breathe, but some couldn't contain themselves.
