[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Joe Cocker. Cool tune.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Wonder if she’s paid income taxes or if the IRS is got her in their sights...

Is it possible to "put out" so much you don't have to pay witholding? ;)

[nmh]

I don't think I want to know.

She is sleazy. His wife is wholesome - even if she is a Demoncrat.

[maggief]

She left “a broken family” at age 17, having been abused, according to the MySpace page, and has used drugs, “been broke and homeless.”

The Spitz was just doing his civic duty to aide the homeless, abused, and addicted.

[tennteacher]

She sounds fairly shallow, but then so does he.

[livius]

That may be part of it. But what I really think attracted him to the whole idea was (a) the fact that it was super expensive and (b) the name “Emperor’s Club.” The guy was a nutcase egomaniac, and in his tiny mind, being able to spend that much to buy a woman was a validation of how great he was.

[Lancey Howard]

Could be worse - - Eliot’s prostitute could have been “an aspiring rapper” instead of a “rhythm and blues singer”.

[MJemison]

Wonder what she did for Elliot that his wife didn’t..." And I wonder what she let Elliot do to her that his wife found repulsive..

Maybe she brought a whip..., or chaps..., or a paddle.... ("Spanky" Spitzer?)

For $5,000 she better be double jointed and a gymnast...was expecting something more.

[Resolute Conservative]

Not that great. She must have great job skills :)

[Lancey Howard]

I heard on the radio yesterday that Emperor’s whores are given ratings from “3 Diamonds” to “7 Diamonds”. Kristen had to be in the “3 Diamond” range, as far as I can see.

[Tijeras_Slim]

For $5,000 she better be double jointed and a gymnast...was expecting something more.

I bet she can also play the spoons.

[reagan_fanatic]

Whether five bucks or five-thousand, she’s still a whore.

[Biblebelter]

As Jay Leno said last night, you are looking at the person holding the HIGHEST PAID postion in government. And that position of course the person working under Elliot Spitzer.

[BunnySlippers]

Big nose too.

[USFRIENDINVICTORIA]

Any bets on how many figures the book/movie/pay TV deal will be worth?

[Tijeras_Slim]

You say that like it’s a bad thing.

[BunnySlippers]

I suspect the IRS will be interested in her too.

[SlapHappyPappy]

That’s what $5K gets you?

[Revolting cat!]

At least, she made a good decision to come out now. Legit job offers (recording career, books, lecture circuit, etc) will start pouring in. And virginity can nowadays be restored surgically!
