The venom on this thread amazes me. Everyone hates Spitzer, but why you folks have to beat up on this misguided soul is beyond me.
I hope she goes the way of Donna Rice Hughes and turns her life around.
She’s the age of my daughters, by the way. I feel sorry for her.
There are plenty of young women, even very pretty young women, who grew up straightened circumstances and/or abusive homes, and determined to leave at a young age. Most of them, fortunately, choose to remain basically honest and to work very hard in order to carve out a life for themselves. I've known a few, girls who left home and worked as nannies, and who managed to put themselves through college and, even graduate school, and made respectable lives. I've even know some girls who toyed with prostitution, but rapidly realized it was a dead end and fought their way out of it.
This girl didn't do that. She took the easy way out, an very understandable temptation, but a slap in the face of every poor girl who maintained her self-respect and didn't prostitute herself (or escaped prostitution). She was all into herself, and the good life the money was bringing her. Can she redeem herself? Maybe. As you say, one hopes so. But, she'll always be a whore. She has to live with that the rest of her life.
an old song, maybe she will change her ways.
I agree, this young woman made a bad “career” choice, but I doubt that she is evil.
Eliot Spitzer, on the other hand, is an evil man, he abused his powers as an AG, and as a Governor. He did so, to cause gratuitous harm to large numbers of people. That’s why he couldn’t even count on support from Democrats, when they saw a chance to take him down.
