Default She's cute, but...

is she $4000 cute? Is she "lose your job, the respect of your family and peers" cute?

That really depends on how much stock you put in the respect of your family and peers.

Playing devils advocate here, I really don't see why this is such a big deal. The guy is married sure, so his wife should be over the top mad at him, that's a given. But unless he used taxpayer money to pay for it, this really shouldn't have any bearing on his job. It's not like he was caught with a pound of cocaine or something. The man paid for sex, hardly a heinous crime.

Ordinarily, I'd agree. But this guy was a moralizing douchebag who zealously prosecuted for the very act he's committed here. So Spitzer deserves to
.

Similarly, President Bill Clinton pushed into law a provision making a defendant's previous sexual history relevant to sexual harassment lawsuits. So I've little objection to the trouble he ran into after he perjured himself about his previous sexual history during a sexual harassment investigation. It was his just desserts.

I see. I wasn't aware of Spitzers stance on the issue. In that case, sure, he should burn.

As a matter of fact, when he was NY atty general, there was a state legislator who got caught with a hooker and there was questions about how the hooker was paid - state or personal funds. Spitzer's comment at the time was how he couldn't understand how he could do this to his family and that if it is true he was going to "steamroller him!"

Expensive dinner? Yes. $4000 an entry, his career, family's respect and bad publicity? No.

...and, after hearing her (inevitable) attempt to break into the R&B scene, the "expensive dinner" is downgraded to drive-thru at Whataburger, and the high priced hooker pays for it.

She'll cut a single, all the little kids willl buy it, they'll get tired of her hard luck life story, and the tabloids and Chris Crockers of the internet will be the only ones taking notice of her existence.

Larry Flint has already offered her $1 million to appear totally nude in HUSTLER.



AND, it looks like she's already made around $200,000 from idiots downloading her song off of her MySpace page.

The guy from "Girls Gone Wild" had a $1M offer out to her, then withdrew it after he realized he had a week's worth of video footage of her when she was 18. That might actually be worth the $30 for a month's access to their website.
