The $2,000 an-Hour Woman (Pimp prosecuted by Spitzer)

In the bedroom, Natalia was a superstar, an escort in demand by Wall Street traders and NFL quarterbacks alike. Her boss, Jason Itzler, who called himself the “King of All Pimps,” wanted to turn his brothel into a Playboy-style national empire, with Natalia as its crown jewel—and his wife. A love story.

Interesting read if you have nothing better to do. The Cliff's Notes version: this was the biggest high-end pimp in New York and Spitzer got him locked up for 2 years for providing the same services the Governor was indulging in himself.

Spitzer really should get a suite at Rikers Island.

Wife? Good grief... did this guy buy rental cars too?

“The Cliff’s Notes version: this was the biggest high-end pimp in New York and Spitzer got him locked up for 2 years for providing the same services the Governor was indulging in himself.”

He was just trying to take out the supply so the price would come down to something he could afford.

[icwhatudo]

Ummmm, does he have an ugly fetish?

[Behind Liberal Lines]

Along with his general nastiness as a human being, this is why there is so little sympathy for Spitzer in even his own party: he’s like the TV preacher railing against sin who gets caught doing what he attacked.

[SJSAMPLE]

You fail at Teh Ekonomiks ;)

Reducing supply, while keeping demand the same, would lead to increased prices.

[11th Commandment]

PIC— AWK what dude paid $2K for that

[dashing doofus]

But, but, but, reducing the supply is supposed to raise the price.

I think maybe he was eliminating a competitor. ;-)

ROFL!... Too much!... Greta and all the raunchy shows must be in church today, on her knees giving thanks to God! LOL

[mtbopfuyn]

What, Spitzer couldn’t get discounted favors so he locked the guy up? That’s really low.

[icwhatudo]

She'd be lucky to get a 6.5 on "hot or not".

[Free Dominoes]

Whores. Shaking their little behinds.

[dfwgator]

Greta and all the raunchy shows must be in church today

Do Scientologists go to church?

[BJClinton]

Heh. But like the article says, it would have broken his heart if she’d have done it for free. Cuz he’s just a romantic like that.

[BJClinton]

Too bad the press won’t smear the entire Dem party for his actions like they would if he were a Pubbie.

[counterpunch]

Guilty!
 

[SueRae]

I hope Eliot can get Psycho for his roomate. Poetic.

[Intimidator]

Geez I could go down to the local bar and get some poon better than that and for free.

[Seeking the truth]

Definitely Not Guilty!

[edcoil]

free?

Or drinks and a movie?
