Ashley Alexandra Dupre, too drunk to, well, you know. . .
Because we need to remember that’s what prostitution is all about. It’s so, well, capitalist!
I suppose I should also mention, would you also cashier your career as Governor of New York, your marriage (possibly), and your integrity and reputation as a moralistic crime fighter?
Was it worth whatever ‘around the world’ trip this high priced hooker gave you Eliot?
Gee I hope so.
A man who answered the phone at the home of the woman’s mother in New Jersey and identified himself as Dupre’s brother, Kyle, told the AP he did not know why Dupre would agree to be interviewed about the scandal.
“I’ve talked to my sister every five minutes since this happened, and I’m not going to comment on it,” he said. “She’s just trying to get through this.”
Dupre’s MySpace page provides a window into her life as she went from a broken home in New Jersey to a music career in the city.
“I have been alone. I have abused drugs. I have been broke and homeless. But, I survived, on my own. I am here, in NY because of my music,” she wrote.
Oh yeah, her My Space Page - look quick before she takes it down.
Sometimes you just gotta hand it to The Drudge Report for all of these links.
and - our buddies at The Smoking Gun - oooooh pictures!

I feel bad for this girl, really… not because I think she’s a victim or something like that. She made a choice, made her money, and made those choices expecting a right to privacy that is sorely lacking in American society today. She’s about to be either vilified or pitied as if she were a sad, sad story. Either way, she’ll be a pariah because our culture says this is actually “news.” Why is this so sensational? People have their private lives and should be left alone.

The only problem with what you’ve wrote is that Spitzer knew what he was doing was illegal and so did she. Of course, he prosecuted cases like this with great zeal! In both cases, neither person should have any real expectation of privacy - she’s going to have to appear in front of a grand jury from what I understand.
If you want to argue that prostitution should be legal and regulated, I’d be all for that. But there’s also the other side of the coin which is the broken trust in relationships and the other hurting party.
Yesterday, Dr. Laura was on the Today Show basically saying its the wives fault for not properly servicing their husbands which is asinine. But the spouses get hurt. You can feel sorry for the girl but she was an adult taking big money for doing something illegal with the Governor of New York. She’s a big girl now she pays a big price.

If that post title is a reference to a song by the Dead Kennedy’s, then a tip of the hat to you sir. Hilarious.

I CAN’T believe someone picked up on that! Tip of the hat back to you and the rest of us who remember the DKs. I COULD have used “Kinky Sex Makes the World Go Round” for the blog post title but I thought that was too obvious.
