    My understanding is that Queen Elizabeth is rather small, and she seems to tower over Gaga, who, between this and the outfit, resembles the kind of fucked-up doll my great-grandmother would think my baby sister would not have TOO many nightmares about.

    Foxwoods can't be any trashier than Mohegan Sun, which is another "massive, trashy casino in Connecticut where I once spent" 20 grueling minutes pissing away $40. I'll never go to another casino that's not in vegas ever again.

    That dress on Gaga is genius. But those emerald earrings on Jolie are to die.

    I imagine Shelly Ross will be extremely furious with Christine Anderson for talking such smack behind her back. I never understood why people who work for government agencies that get FOIA'ed all the time still use their government e-mail accounts to say things they wouldn't want made public. #today

    No current or future story on Spitzer can ever hope to trump that NY mag cover that so sucintly and perfectly summarized his persona & M.O. back in March 2008. An image = one thousand words, and all that. #today

    The most interesting thing about this is that working for Shelly Ross is still worse than working for a Governor who has a hooker habit. #today

    At the very least, Gawker got some higher quality commenters out of this one.

    You'll learn more about reporting here than in four years of J-school. #eliotspitzer

    Checking facts is always good, but you don't send a verbatim quote from your story to a PR person and ask "can I do this?" Not even to maintain the relationship. A paraphrase of what you're going to say and a question like "is this accurate?" sure. Yes, I'm a reporter.

    Whose idea was this little expose? Did one of these former flaks say to someone at Gawker, hey, maybe there's good stuff here ... ?

    Just curious. Because the Spitzer people had a history of this type of behavior -- maybe leading people into saying embarrassing things, knowing that it would get public soon enough.

    Just curious ... #eliotspitzer

    @Paddington: Actually, the idea came about when we were marveling at The State's work on the Mark Sanford story and we started brainstorming other governors with interesting sex scandals who might make for an interesting public records request. Eliot Spitzer's name, obviously, came up very quickly.
