Incidentally, the former Governor could learn from the experience of David Mellor, a cabinet minister in the UK's Conservative government of the early 1990s. When an affair was revealed in the tabloids, Mellor's image was saved by one anecdote. His cunning publicist claimed Mellor had sex with his lover while wearing the "strip" of his beloved soccer club, Chelsea. That fact turned a sleazy adulterer into a man of the people, and Mellor survived. Spitzer, now fixed in the public's mind as an arrogant plutocrat who demands unsafe sex at $5,000 an hour, is in even more dire need of a humanizing detail. Unfortunately, the only clothing he made a habit of retaining, according to one former madame, were his black socks. Not the same. And his publicist doesn't appear to have the same shamelessness as Max Clifford, the Machiavellian genius of media manipulation in the UK who saved Mellor.

• New York magazine said Dupre is rich based on this formula: her songs cost $1, they have been downloaded 2 million times and Dupre gets to keep 70 percent of the profit. But it looks to me like the song has around 200,000 listens, not 2 million (see bottom left corner of this page). Also, you can listen to a song without buying it, and that's what the vast majority of people are probably doing.
• The real money, of course, is in Playboy and Penthouse nudie pic deals and in a book contract, as noted in the same New York mag post.
• Now that Spitzer is gone, Bloomberg is getting all excited about becoming the first Robot Governor of New York even though he JUST PROMISED US ALL he would stop doing things like this. But he probably doesn't want to be a rich white technocrat running against a blind, black, relatively poor emergency governor, so he secretly prays Andrew Cuomo will destroy new Gov. David Paterson in the primary.
• The public will soon callously toss aside Dupre, just as it did the high-priced Brazilian hooker who was once on the cover of the Daily News but just got deported and nobody cared.
• Fake psychologist Laura Schlessinger said spurned hottie Silda Spitzer has "responsibility for mistreating her man."
• The Eliot Spitzer story leaked, eventually to the Times, when people started asking why the Feds' chief corruption guy was so interested in this whole prostitution case.
• It has been reported that Spitzer knew he was in trouble starting Friday, but he did not start looking for a public relations firm until Tuesday. At that point, even the flithy flacks (or at least one filthy flack) wouldn't touch him.

• The consensus? She's kinda adorable! She's sincere and cute and her song isn't that bad! (Will it become an ironic club hit for a weekend? Probably! At ironic clubs!)
  
• The Daily News got her high school photo (at right). She was a bit more "Jersey Shore" then. Also they tracked down some old high school classmates who basically call her a slut.
  
• The Post says she wasn't slutty in high school. IMPORTANT NEWS, PEOPLE.
  
• She has a fake Tumblr!
  
• She has refused to leave her Flatiron apartment all day long. We know this because cable networks are camped out outside, and they periodically break in to let us know that they still haven't seen her.
  
• We got an insane email that insisted that she is 32, not 22, and asked whether we or the New York Times even have fact-checkers. Well, we don't. But we're still pretty sure she is actually 22.
  
• Here is her modeling portfolio.
  
• OMG she hurriedly added a new song to her Amie Street profile. She is going to make this work for her.
  
• Another emailer writes to announce that even her neighbors are hot. So we've attached their pictures too.
