Prostitutes and Politics

Apparently it's a big to-do when a political figure is busted for soliciting sex, despite my previously held beliefs (based largely on movies and television) that it's all part of a day's work for any real politician. In that light, Governor Spitzer resigned earlier this week as a result of pressure from other politicians who weren't dumb enough to be caught in the act.

A few thoughts:

Looking at the pictures, I would have guessed it would have been his wife soliciting sex in order to avoid the awkwardly horrific, fumbling advances of Gargamel.

Though it's since been taken off the web, you can see shots of the Emperor's Club website (and learn all about it!) here if you're interested (you are). I like how they don't show you the girls' faces. Cuz seriously, girls have faces? Surely you jest! I also am very pleased with the descriptions of the girls, like they are bottles of wine or remote vacationing spots for the exceptionally rich, which, in a way, I guess they are since it costs upwards of $5,000 (not a mistake - that's a comma not a decimal!) for an hour with one of these girls. 5,000! For that much, she better be made of diamonds and have a solid gold vagina.

Here is a picture of the girl Spitzer reportedly met. Now I'm not saying he's gay, but he is very clearly gay. How else do you explain being married to this and then paying to have sex with the Amazonian War Princess Manhands McImaman? If they all are like this, it now makes total sense why the website doesn't show faces. Can you imagine the disappointment of picking out a $5,000 whore and having her show up sporting hands like Manute Bol and damn near a unibrow? Especially for Spitzer. I mean, this man threw away a governorship and free (I assume) sex with a fairly attractive (you'd do her, admit it - she looks like a hot news anchor) woman to pay for sex with Christian Slater's transvestite brother. Epic.
