Grammar question... should the headline read:
"Eliot Spitzer: Why I liked ho's"
OR
"Eliot Spitzer: Why I liked hos"
????

Technically you are correct. I don’t know if there’s a casual rule about real short words, putting in an apostrophe just for visual clarity? But you are right, apostrophes are for contractions and possessives, and hos is neither.

hos, not ho’s.
Unless the word following ho’s is assumed to be something said ho possesses.
