'New York Governor spent $85,000 on sex'
Herald Sun ^ | 12 March 2008

Posted on 03/12/2008 2:45:15 AM PDT by Aussie Dasher

NEW York's Governor spent up to $US80,000 ($85,000) on prostitutes who he asked to not wear a condom, it has been reported, as sordid details emerged in the sex scandal that threatens to hound him from office.

Eliot Spitzer became embroiled in the scandal on Tuesday when it was reported that he was linked to a US probe into a prostitution ring.

Mr Spitzer was caught on a listening device spending more than $4000 at the Emperor's Club call girl service.

Anonymous officials involved with the case have now been reported by the Associated Press as saying that Mr Spitzer had spent as much as $US80,000 with the service.

It is not clear over what time period that would have been, but the $4000 was reported to have paid for one night with a prostitute named Kristen with credit left over for future sessions.

That suggests Mr Spitzer made at least a couple of dozen visits to the prostitution service.

On the night of the visit with Kristen, Mr Spitzer booked two hotel rooms - one for him and one for her. He then slipped away from his security agents and met her in her room.

Looks like Spitzer didn’t want to wear a seatbelt when driving the Hershey Highway.

LOL Frank Gifford was hung up on that? It has to be unwilling wives that make them go to prostitutes. Or the husband is too embarrassed to ask or places wife on too high a pedestal to ask

Bet she is a closet republican. Wants to drag this thing out to pull up the horrible bill Hill connection. Will open so many festering hate feelings about bill and hill that Hill will slide under the puss swamp.

Imus and McGuirk had a field day with that when it came out. Kathy Lee won’t let Frank drive on the Hershey Highway and neither did the woman he got caught asking, Suzen Johnson.

The grass is always greener to some people.

If the speculation is correct, perhaps that first gr in your sentence should be removed? ;-P

Tower of power???? Haven’t heard of that one before.

I'm kind of partial to the "Dungeon of Decadence", myself. (I don't like heights) ;-P

More seriously, can anyone give a family-friendly synopsis?

When you got power and/or prestige, you don’t need looks. Even the ugliest rock stars have groupies. There is always someone who wants to be associated with power.

They crossed my mind on the first day when it is reported he wanted unsafe sex. You don’t pay 4 grand say as not to wear a raincoat.

Check the wording on the last sentence:

If so, is this not illegal.

The period makes it a sentence, but the word order makes it a (rhetorical) question. I read it the other way around, too, before I saw another post that pointed out my need for adequate caffeine.

Have a great day, FRiend.

The news last night reported he’s been doing this for 10 years. The Fed recently found out when the IRS - alerted by his money transfers - contacted the FBI. That is recent. How long has the mob known about this? Or others? Has he been pressured - blackmailed - to go after people because of deviancy?

Spitzer's wife better get checked out for STDs.

She and the prostitutes could use Spitzbaths, too.

The only reason his halfway decent looking wife is hooked up with him is for the gravy train.

She's two years older than Elliot. She looks very good for 50. She was probably pretty hot when she was in her 20s and 30s.

Fudge packing is ridiculous and anti-biological no matter if done by gays or heterosexuals where the woman obviously gets it. Some babes like it I suppose

I wonder how serious the Old Hebrews were against “anal” done between man and woman. Given the Biblical passages condemning it. In Leviticus? Gay anal sex is definitely blasted

The divorce is going to cost him a lot more.
