Bad Taste Reporting: Spitzer’s Escort
I couldn’t believe it when I saw it.
The New York Times has run an expose on former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer’s last call girl. They have pictures, link to her mySpace page, and give her life story.
Two options here: either the girl wants the publicity or our faithful media has just incredibly unfairly exposed an unwitting girl with an already difficult life to intense public scrutiny.
Either way… sick sick sick. No, I won’t be posting her pictures or mySpace account here. You have to go the smut New York Times for that.

$4300.00/hr doing something enjoyable, hmmm.
What an unimaginably difficult life.

Ed, I think you missed the point, or maybe you just really like making assumptions about other peoples’ life choices. The point is it’s not her fault he made a bad decision — he is a grownup, she didn’t MAKE him do anything — and her identity should have absolutely no part in HIS taking responsibility for his actions.

I must have missed the part about her unbearably difficult life. I guess she was forced into it, not her choice?

Isn’t this supposed to be a humor website? Or is it actually just the finger-pointing views of some Charlie Church moralizer? I would think that the story on someone who basically brought an end to the term of a New York governor is EXACTLY what the NY Times should be reporting. What’s sick about that?
As for her identity being revealed. C’est la vie. Of course in a report like this they would reveal her identity. It’s part of the story. Like Lewinski. These may not be the most savoury tales but they happen in the world of grown-ups.
