Fleiss Advice: Avoiding an Eliot Mess

Just how in the hell would a high-profile, ho-bustin' politician like Eliot Spitzer ever expect to get away with his pay-for-play D.C. side piece?

"It's so easy not to not get caught," reformed Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss tells Radar, adding that she provided service to many a well known politician her day.

"I saw many famous people—more famous than Eliot Spitzer—and you know what, you pay people right, you treat them right, you don't have a problem."

The devil, she says, was in Spitzer's particular freak, which left the gals who are alleged to have serviced him describing the governor as "difficult," with demands that involved "things that, like, you might not think were safe."

Maybe like Richie Aprile he held a gun to her head during sex.

Dr. Paul Fleiss was my childrens pediatrician while all this was going on. He is such a gentle nice man caught up in this mess.

That's good to hear. He wrote a very good article on why it is better to avoid circumcision of boys. I used it to change my wife's mind. We were so glad we followed his advice. I never knew about the connection with Heidi until much later.

I liked this comment by Heidi Fleiss:

NEWSWEEK: Does it surprise you that someone as high-profile as the governor of New York would get in trouble like this?

Heidi Fleiss: Of course not. Dude, these are men. They think about sex 98 percent of the time.

Actually, what got him caught was making repeated easily traced cash transfers in suspicious amounts which banks are required by law to report to the authorities.

The talk about his kink just made the case easier.

[SlapHappyPappy]

The petition refers to the act is question as being fairly basic, so I’d say the speculation about anything other than unprotected sex of some sort is probably pretty far off base.

Not to mention the fact he wouldn’t keep going to a service that didn’t provide for his particular kink, and the conversations indicate he kept going back.

"I think think he's an arrogant prick and he thinks he's above the law; no one likes a hypocrite," Fleiss tells Radar. (In his defense, the morning Spitzer found out the jig was up, the New York Times reports, he canceled an appearance with a family planning organization and a private powwow with Cardinal Egan—a confession?) "He could have gone to the Bunny Ranch and never would have had his cover blown. But this is an arrogant prick," Fleiss says. "Welcome to reality."

Nice.

lol thats Heidi..

She lives here in town.. we just met her a few days ago in a local casino here.. she’s a strange one. lol

[Caipirabob]

I concede to your point sir. As there's some 80K in initial and return business, it'd be tough for me to argue that he had any issues with the quality of the "product". : )

[Billthedrill]

Gosh, isn’t it swell the stuff you learn from politicians? I’ve stopped whistling and tapping my toes in restrooms, for example. And there I thought “unsafe sex” was no safety net for the trapeze...
