Normally I wouldn't pay much attention to the travails of NY Governor Elliott Spitzer. You see, while most of the nation views our local Tony Rezko trial as being about Barack Obama, here we follow it to find out if/when our current governor will follow our previous governor to prison. So my plate is already full of gubernatorial corruption.
But this is too juicy for this prurient old gal to resist! Elliott Spitzer has presented himself as the new Elliott Ness, a straight arrow who will clean up the mess made by those who don't share his high standards of personal behavior. So to watch him strung up by his own peccadillos is fun.
Spitzer apparently spent $4,300 for a Washington DC assignation with a hooker on 2/13. It's the date that kept going through my mind as I watched Mrs. Spitzer silently stand by her man during his press conference. I've never been a wife, but I think that if I were her, it would really, REALLY bug me that my long-time hubby spent more on a hooker on 2/13 than he did on me the next night, Valentine's Day.
Also, I wonder what a woman has to do to earn $4,300 in one night. I know people who have spent less than that for a good used car. I'm tempted to Google it. Maybe it's time I broaden my horizons.
These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.
You don't wanna know, as I don't. Deluxe callgirl make that much money.
ReplyDeleteI guess their "talent" is worth it. Or it's just overrated.
TBH, I wouldn't pay more than two grand on a hooker (male of course)...and he better be really good!
ReplyDeleteAh well. I never want to be a politicians wife-if it means standing by my philandering husband in order to keep up a good front politically-count me out.
I can't IMAGINE standing next to a husband as he apologized publicly for something like this. Three reasons -
ReplyDelete1. You spent HOW MUCH of our hard-earned money on a hooker?
2. You cheated on me with a hooker?
3. The public humilation!!
The only place I woudl be standing would be on my parents' doorstep.
If you are going to use a fake name, use one that is actually fake, not one that is one of your biggest donors
ReplyDeleteI don't get it either. I simply cannot even imagine what would make her stand there. Unless she was drugged? There isn't an apology in the WORLD big enough!!
