Wow, doesn’t seem like Client #9 has kept too well on the straight and narrow!!

Sex fiends can’t go straight, just ask Harvey Swinestein.

[MNDude]

didn’t CNN hire him?

[jonrick46]

$5,000-a-night call girl, Svetlana Zakharova Travis and ex-New York Governor Eliot Spitzer.

The DemonRATs sure take the cake:

[o-n-money]

I hate Spitzer. but what do you say to a blackmailer?

[pepsionice]

The minute you say ‘Russian’....the chances of a blackmail experience goes up 100-percent. In a New York court, with a jury sitting...I don’t think her odds of winning are worth discussing. They will side with Spitzer.

...

Of the two scumbags at least Spitzer is paying for it.

[Moonman62]

Svetlana Zakharova Travis

...

How did she end up with a name like Travis?

[Reverend Wright]

If there ever was a pair of pictures that said "hooker and client" - it is these:

[jonrick46]

It is a portrait of the corruption of the DemonRATs. It is hard to imagine that New York elected this pathetic POS for their governor. To think that New York voters passed up John Faso Jr for Spitzer—a man not worth the spit in a toilet—is beyond me.

[Cowboy Bob]

If Svetlana is 27 now...how old was she when Spritzer was boinking her?

[EliRoom8]

>>If there ever was a pair of pictures that said "hooker and client" - it is these:<<

To be fair I can't agree about the woman. If I saw her on the street, I'd think nothing more about it.

And $5000 a night??? Ummm, no.

[Jimmy Valentine]

I think you are wrong here. spitzer is a thoroughly distasteful individual who has hidden behind his money. He is long overdue for a legal comeuppance.

[Fido969]

I don’t think that was a specific threat.

[rb22982]

Agreed 100%. Very eh gal. $5k/night? NFW.

[EliRoom8]

>>I don’t think that was a specific threat.<<

Agree!

[SkyPilot]

He had it all. Including a beautiful wife who is mother to his children and is said to be a truly nice person.

They are divorced now.

And the call girl he got caught with from the original scandal is not even as attractive as his now ex-wife.

[EliRoom8]

Nevertheless, she’s probably getting at least one paying customer a night. Otherwise, she’d drop the price a bit.

[Teacher317]

For far too many people in the world, instead of "something being worth what someone is willing to pay for it", their psychology seems wrapped around the idea that "something that costs more MUST be better, and that makes ME better!" Brand name items carry price tags many times higher, for no greater utility or quality. A Burberry scarf goes for $480. The basic Louis Vuitton purses go for $800. If we go to the really high end, there are handbags that go for six figures.

Prostitutes (sexual or political or journalistic) can charge anything they want. The main "trick" (pun intended) for the sex worker is finding enough of those buyers (and at those prices, 1 can often be enough) who have deluded themselves into thinking the experience is any better or safer (from disease or extortion) than the usual $200 escorts, simply because of the asking price.

[rb22982]

Or at least enough where she’s good for $. Even just 30 nights a year - or once every two weeks roughly - is $150k.
