Ashley Dupre' (Kristen)



Un-named 22 year old prostitute
(who also claims to have had sex with Spitzer)

Title of article: "Please explain $5,500 an hour to me"

Spitzer's public downfall has prompted political opponents to pile on gleefully. But he may gain some small consolation from the distinguished gents who have rushed to his defense.

"Big deal - man goes to prostitute," Harvard law professor and Spitzer friend Alan Dershowitz said yesterday. "In Europe, this wouldn't even make the back pages of the newspapers."

Not exactly a stirring tribute. But, Dershowitz, whose rate per billable hour puts him in three-diamond status, didn't charge Spitzer a dime.

As noted in other articles the same prostitute, Kristen, could be hired for $1,000 an hour. Reminds me of the joke whose punchline is, "We know what you are, now we are just haggling about the price." Maybe Spitzer should have haggled a little more. Getting the price down from $5500 to $4300 does not sound like he is much of a negotiator!

I doubt that is the reason for the look on Ms. Spitzer's face in the photo at top as she accompanies her husband in his public humiliation. Why do such men always insist their wives share in their humiliation? Why are the wives of such men always so willing to do so? Classic.
