Sex and the City: 'Client No. 9' a.k.a Eliot Spitzer "takes responsibility"

Those of you who live on the East Coast who say you haven't been following the NY Governor call girl scandal are either lying or too obese to roll over and reach for the remote to switch the channel anywhere away from the USA Network.

Well, my Chips Ahoy addict friends, Fifth Avenue hookers are probably beyond your reach as well. The New York Post reported that the escort behind Mr Spitzer's fall from grace, a "Kristen", real name Ashley Dupre, commanded a $1,000 per hour fee. See, in Manhattan, they do everything just so much classier. Note how it's "escort", and not "rent-a-babe". "Kristen" instead of "Fanny the Tranny". Oh, the class.

The Post explains that the former governor was wiretapped following fishy bank transactions. It also states that Spitzer, whose nom de sleaze was "Client 9", spent over $80,000 on call girls during the past 10 years, but despite all this his wife stood next to him at the press conference, him in a Wall Street power suit, her in what I suspect was Valium-induced indifference.

See, one thing that New Yorkers will always get right, is that no matter how bad the scandal, make sure you're dressed for the photo op, provide free drinks to reporters and getting caught with a pricey callgirl will be next Fall's latest must have. Yeah, that's how we swing in the Upper East Side, bitch.
