She has a very cute nose. I would like to purchase one like it.
eom
You see this 22 year old Jersey girl with fake tits, not very attractive in the $3,000 an hour way, and has a my space page that is well, as if a 22 year-old would do a My Space page.
She is going to come across as some vapid, lame 22 year-old. And he will come across as some pathetic middle aged, reckless prick. Rightly so. This just exposes the underbelly of our tawdry ways and the human condition. A great lenten story. Ouch on us all. It isn't pretty. And no, neither is she. Be honest.
This poor girl didn't even have the sense to go make 250k from her story when she could. now, she'll get some $$ from someone but what could've been.
How did Silda stand by her man? Really? That was the big debate in the office today. Everyone hands-down, throught the more fitting women to stand up there with Eliot was Kristen.
That's who everyone wanted to see.
Once, just once, I'd like to see the middle aged guy caught with a woman nearing his own age, with the wisdom, education, worldliness and sense of self and power that would make it all seem as if maybe, for an instant, it seemed worthwhile. And that what's sexy to men that have aged with some wisdom. And if their lucky, and smart, it is their wife. Shame on Eliot. And I think, shame on his wife for standing up there. Yet another woman I don't want my daughters to relate to.
Republicans and their press, this is going to go on and on and on.
And she's a prostitute through and through. No dignity at all.
It's up to Spitzer's wife to handle it any way she feels she must. Who're we to question her decision to stand by the guy, if for a moment or forever? Mind your own business.
Being a past-middle age man, I wonder what the knucklehead was thinking when he wrote, "Just once I'd like to see the middle-aged guy caught with a middle-aged woman." So, he'd get some pleasure if Spitzer had been with a 40'something hooker? Or, that would've been more acceptable? This is America and we, pretty routinely, pay exorbitant amounts to live out lavish dreams and fantasies and, I doubt, many 40'something men fantasize about hooking up (you define it) with a 40'something woman.
Oh, we're judging each other's fantasies now? Oh, we can't have fantasies? Or, is it OK to pay for a fantasy as long as living it out doesn't break the law?
Good, heavens! A guy with money to burn paid a young woman with a nice body (like it matters if she paid for the nose or boobs)for sexual favors. Oh, my! Save us!
And, the best part, as we mock Spitzer and question his wife and impart our morals on others...we take time to say the young woman isn't attractive. Look at Elliot Spitzer. Figure in he's got lots of money and power. You STILL think he could land a woman who looks that good without paying her?
Never mind.
Something way bigger than little old (of course) broken-homed Ashley can ever dream of. That's all I can figure.
But even for that kind of money. I wouldn't have stood there if I were in her shoes. I'd have told him to get one of his call girls to stand with him and ran for my life to my attorney. With the kids.
PS - and yes, the vision of the two of them together is definitely something I can live without.

Really? I'm 40 something and I do. I always date, albeit (very beautiful women) in their 40's and they are not so hard to find. Anybody can look ok at 23, but there's something about the mystery and self-confidence of a beautiful women with some life experience that can't be beat. Bar none.
Yeah, I get the MySpace connection, but will you be covering the Cubs if one of the players uses a phone or drives a car under the guise of "tech"?
As intelligent as he is you never know. Believe it or not there ARE people who care about that even in their 20's.
But I'd take Silda over her any day; she's a fox and I don't care if her bustline isn't 52G . Not one iota.
But it wouldn't matter if I didn't feel that way and I was with her. Let me give you a hint: want what you HAVE. It's a better path to happiness.
He imparted his morals on everybody. It's not about the Sex this time it's about the Holier than Thou, ram it down your throat tactics of Eliot Mess. He's a pathetic prickwad for how he set himself up to be the all-time poster child of what-goes-around-COMES-around. He's pathetic. She's aloser for standing up there with him. Sets women back. Hard to respect them en-masse when so many of them are so pathetic. Just saying.
"Yes, it is unsettling that she moans in the song; yes, you do wonder whether the Gov. is familiar with that moan."
That has to be the worst thing written on the internet today.
... in a very classy way:

I wouldn't call Ashley "gorgeous," but there seems to be a classic Madonna/whore dichotomy at play here.
IF avenues existed in New York and in similar-law U.S. + other countries' jurisdictions for adult males- and particularly for politicians and persons in public-service- to 'privately pursue' their un-remove-able and to-be-expected traits, Mr Spitzer & the many, many others like him- and all of his/their abilities, irreplaceable capacities and potential to-do-good, would not have been lost...
The 'big (and even the less patronized) media' generally, would do well to examine the underlying factors behind the easily- and on balance- productively-avoidable spitzer catastrophe...
In particular it needs to be questioned whether the immense loss to society of this person and all of his exceptionally effective, constructive and fairness-in-society-building attributes and capabilities is a 'fair swap' for him being susceptible to- or falling for- what adult males have done since human kind first set foot on this earth...
What needs to be asked is: "would society be better served if adult males generally, and particularly persons in public service- such as politicians- were able to 'act on their unavoidable sexual urges' out of the public-view"??
Expecting men to be fully-faithful to their partners/wives is unrealistic.
Fidelity is an objective to be aimed for... but, just like expecting male Catholic priests to be celibate or to not masturbate- it ain't going to happen...
Politically 'killing' or wrecking the lives of those that stray from full-fidelity will always cause far more loss to societies than if persons/societies affected (by acts of infidelity) reacted to this with discrete- albeit disgusted and/or heavily scolded- reasoned accommodations...
