So Spitzer's still off the hook, right? Not facing a single charge? And I assume he'll personally be paying back the prostitutes who got busted on his orders, clear their records?
You know, just a silly thought here...At least she got paid for it. In my younger years, I was giving it away for love - which I never got. Who is/was the fool?
I find her terribly common; Violetta Valéry she ain't. That said, what really annoys me about all this is the "upper middle-class, girl next door" pitch. Why, oh why, does everyone have to state that they come from the *upper* middle clahhhss? That is so irritatingly cheap and aspirational.
@CodePink: She's just engaging in a different form of prostitution by doing so. God forbid she should get a REAL job instead so she doesn't "have" to be a prostitute anymore.
And since she's back at home with mom and step-dad the doctor now, go back to school. There are other options to going on TV to make a buck.
@CodePink: Honestly, I'm still trying to figure out why she didn't take the money she was offered to pose nude (apparently $1 million to pose for Hustler and/or Playboy I think?). If I had already sold my ass for money, why not? Seems like she won't get a better offer than that.
@Unfun: She'd blow $1 million in a month on coke, tanning, and conservative attire. She might as well invest in some knee pads and deduct it as a business expense.
He used the name of the founder of Quakerism for his alias? That's kind of fucked up. I mean, I know they're a pretty liberal religious group, but I still think this is in poor taste.
For the record, I was raised a Quaker. I also went to a Friends' boarding school outside Philly, and went to one of the few remaining Quaker colleges in the US. We do have electricity. We are not the fucking Amish.
What exactly am I supposed to be feeling about this? I'm sort of at a loss. I don't feel bad for this Dupre woman because she's a prostitute and thereby pretty much the scourge of the earth. I don't feel bad for Spitzer because he's a disgusting piece of shit. And I don't feel bad for Silda because she's still with said piece of shit. I can't even remark about any of it really, because it's a situation that writes it's own jokes in its staunch bile-risingness and epic sadness.
I'm bored. Anyone watch the Real Housewives of Atlanta last night?
@Spirit Fingers: I actually feel sorry for all of them. Everyone has an emptiness they're trying to fill. That's just what these people are doing. Doesn't mean I have to like any of them. I mean, I don't know them. But I understand their plights.
@CodePink: I understand what you're saying, but I just can't drum up any sorry here. I almost feel bad for Silda, but there's nothing on earth that would let me take back a man who's publicly humiliated me, exposed me to God knows what, and treated me like an asshole. So for me it's a total loss of three.
@EddieTheDane: Sure. Famine, disease, republicans, and prostitutes. Not mutually exclusive since it appears all of the above have a predilection for indulging in or causing them all. And you're sure whore-happy today. A whore monger, eh?
Yes, apologize to his wife on national tv, that'll make the pain go away.
Did it ever occur to her that maybe the best thing to do right now is to just let it die? Maybe that dredging it up again and shining a light on it isn't the best way to help the wife of your john get over the fact that he would rather pay to schtup you than to have sex with his wife for free because he loves her?
Oh, right... she probably doesn't care as long as she gets her 15 minutes with Diane Sawyer. Which kinda makes her... a hypocrite, maybe?
And why the fuck is she apologizing to anyone?! Last I checked it was Spitzer that was the fuck-head, not her, she's just a hooker who did her john, er... I mean job. She has nothing to apologize for... the only one who should be apologizing is Spitzer, and only to his wife. She didn't MAKE Spitzer cheat on his wife, for god's sake.

Poor Ashley. Unless she's servicing you, the wider she opens her mouth the more you dislike her.

i wanted for a long time to be a quaker. they of all religions seem to never have started wars or killed people in the name of their beliefs

That said, I don't think she owes Silda an apology. Dupre didn't do anything wrong, she was just working.
