Don't blame us 'cause you suck at Google.
Huh. DOJ was investigating Spitser and then found the hookers? Boy, I hope this story gets more clear by tomorrow.
So are they gloating over at the conservative blogs, the way we gloat when one of their boys is caught dead in a butt plug and wet suits?
Gah, that face. Dude, you're already royally fucked, so why look like a sorry schmuck on top of it all? If there were ever a time for some world-class chutzpah, it's now. Maybe you should take a lesson from Karl Rove.
or Tom DeLay's mugshot. But, people regularly make ridiculous faces; editors run pictures of them looking like sorry schmucks next to stories about them being sorry schmucks. What's he going to do, grin through the whole press conference?
He looks like his own Avenue Q foam latex puppet.
7: Oh, I know. I'd advise against the grinning, but in a situation like this, every click of the shutter is potentially a politician's death mask. If you're going to do something so monumentally stupid, best be prepared for that.

we should end this blog in honor of elliot spitzer and hookers everywhere.
If he had really said the mock quote in 10, he would have my vote.
Poor Zombie Spitzer. All he ever wanted was infinite fellatio, and look where it got him.
"Sure, I screwed a woman. But the fat cats on Wall Street are screwing the entire country!"
Outstanding.
"I look forward to an America that cares more about blowback than blowjobs."
"The Republicans refuse to take steps to adequately protect the country, but now they criticize me for not adequately protecting myself."
3: This is in no way intended to exculpate Spitzer; he did it, it was incredibly hypocritical and stupid, and his career's probably over and should be.
But I bet the story is that DOJ was combing his records with a fine-tooth comb in the hopes of finding anything to get him on. This is Bush's DOJ, and the principle of investigating crimes rather than people has been abandoned.
Btw, the caption for this photograph -- and title for this post -- should have been "Spitzer Swallows."
Wow, G had his Wheaties today. I particularly like "The Republicans refuse to take steps to adequately protect the country, but now they criticize me for not adequately protecting myself."
Thanks Michael, but I can liveblog it if you want. I didn't like Federer's break in the first game, but Sampras has come close to breaking back now. On the other hand, that Federer guy is pretty good.
he looks like he's gurning.
He is gurning - he's screwing up his face and sticking out his ears as if to say, "Look at me! What choice did I have but to pay for it? I'm a monster."
"I might have been shelling out for a whore, but they were whoring for Shell."
Wow, remember Bob? He wrote good posts. (scroll down from Aha!)
The appointments, made through an online booking service, cost between $1080 and $5950 an hour.
So the budget girls were $1080 / hr., and I bet you got a discount for the second hour. So you see, it was really quite reasonable.
I can liveblog it if you want.
you should, no one else seems to be.

and now the Vatican has added seven mor sins!!! Elliot, Oh, Elliot
"Have you read The Divine Comedy?" I asked the Archbishop.
"Yes. In seminary."
"Jesuit?"
"Yes."
"My father loved Dante," I said, and stood up. "Think of it, a man of the swamp, quoted Dante to me when I was a kid."
"That's admirable," said the Archbishop.
"You bet. So anyway, Dante begins his journey and faces three beasts: the leopard of disordered appetites, you know drinking, eating, lust, that kind of thing; the lion of bestial doings portends what happens when we use our intellects, our sources of good for bad, very bad things; then there is the lean and hungry wolf, that's the sins that occur when we use our intellect and capacity for good in the service of darkness, cruelty and desecration of life itself. The Holocaust, slavery, or the murder of children."
"You think I have not seen the beasts?" he asked me, moving forward in his chair.
"Yes, I think you have. But I am reminded of this passage: The power that perceives the course of time is not the power that captures all the mind. That's from Purgatorio. My friend, the one who was murdered and you prayed for recently, told me that time was endless. I don't believe my path is laid out for me. I still choose which way to go and who to go with."
"Then I hope that you have as good a companion as Dante's Beatrice as you make your journey. I will pray for you."
He was dismissing me. I moved toward him slowly, feeling Pinch moving with me. My eyes locked on the Archbishop's. He was sad, in spiritual pain, I could sense that; a man with great power who was immobilized by his position, by his belief that he could function only within the clothes that he wore, the trappings of the Church. As best he could, he proceeded mercifully. The hell of it was that the sins of omission are often greater and more damaging than those of commission. So sayeth the lean and hungry wolf.

Lyn, can I tell you how much I enjoy the fact that you appear to be the only commenter resulting from the New York Times link?
Lyn, that's becoming slightly tiresome.
For me, $1080 is as nothing..... because I never have it once the rent is paid.
A friend of mine says that in Portland, OR, the baseline is $200 / hr. Portland is a fairly low-budget city, so $1000 probably isn't really high-end in NYC or Paris.
BR is making me post (again) that she wants a summer Unfogged party.
She hasnt mentioned it, but I suspect that she wants it in the summer so Ogged cant claim to have a cold.
Um. Are you people actually talking to a spam bot?
For me, $1080 is as nothing..... because I never have it once the rent is paid.
You have to make regional COL adjustments, Emerson. It looks like it's about $540 in in Minneapolis money.
Screw BR. We need to have a WEST COAST Unfogged party. You east coast bastards can do the traveling this time. (The midwest people are still screwed, but hey, if y'all want to put something together in Minneapolis or Chicago, knock yourselves out.)
This is probably the place to note that cherimoyas are $8/lb. at the grocery store, and seem to weigh between 1-1.5 pounds each. I might have eaten my last cherimoya.
Actually, PDX is more expensive than MPLS, I found.
Possibly the sex-worker COL adjustment varies by state. (There isn't a sex-worker category in the chart.) Portland is probably more wide open than NYC, bringing prices even further down.

Heebie grabbed her butt. Now Bitch wants to screw her?!??!
Bitch, you know that you want to come to Richmond and play with my monkey.
Yeah, is this Lyn a real person or a bot? How does one block a bot?
Have I taught you people nothing? Some of the list rates.

The chart seems to back you up on that.
By weight, Will is 1.0% pheremone, hormone, and endorphin. Quite a lot, really, that 1%. It' his clients' fault.
39: Good lord. You could afford meat for those prices, even under the LB "Liberalism is back, baby!" regime. (Probably not WF meat.)
Know your spammer! Lyn enjoys Marx Brothers movies and One Hundred Years of Solitude.
If Tom is Lyn's friend, then Lyn must be ok.
49: I see where it says "anything by Charlie Chaplin and the Marx Brothers", but what is by Charlie Chaplin and the Marx Brothers?
The structuring statute they say he'll be charged under is kind of bullshit. The law says banks have to report transfers over $10k, so they made it illegal to do a bunch of transfers under $10k to get the same effect but avoid reporting. But obviously it's trivial to find a series of transfers totalling over $10k and report them (since people are always caught doing this) so why should it be illegal? Just make the law, "Report all transfers over $10k and all related transfers within a time period that total over $10k."
Is there a St. Louis readership? I might be there for a conference in April.

I can't quite decide if Federer threw the second set tiebreaker.
"I may have solicited sex, but at least I didn't do so in a public space!"
"I was merely doing my own undercover work, not wishing to put NY's Finest through this onerous task."

"I may have sucked a hooker. But greedy subprime lenders are hooking suckers!"
"My behavior might have constituted perversion. But they have perverted the constitution!"
"I hired prostitutes, but I didn't use condoms, because I believe that if you are going to have sex you have to be prepared to deal with the consequences."
"I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a career-ending trainwreck of sleaze that destroys my family, comforts my enemies and leaves my supporters angry, betrayed and confused!"
Abstinence-only education taught me that it was sinful to use birth control.

"I lost control of my urges, but that is still better than losing control of our nation's fiscal future."
"Each of us must find our own way to deliver stimulus to the faltering economy"
Minnesota exports prostitutes to NYC. It's a sort of cliche in the Biz.
"I've decided to legalize prostitution."
66: I will never think of the phrase "stimulus package" in the same way again.
"This is why we need more restraints on the federal government's wiretapping authority. Urge Congress not to pass the Senate's version of FISA legislation."
"What's the big deal about a live girl?"
71: in fact, I keep thinking exactly that. Was it a wire tap with a warrant?
Yeah, 68 wins. 63 is good, but suffers under the misapprehension that Spitzer ever went after the vote of the New York Irish.
Is it possible to legalize prostitution retroactively?
That prostitute was a monster, she'd stoop to anything.
Not to be ungrateful, but I prefer 72 to 68.
"I intend to resign at the end of the month."
Busting the guy for hiring a prostitute is one thing, but that "structuring" law is BS. If it's your money, you should be allowed to access however you damn well see fit.
In a interview two years ago, Spitzer, then-attorney general, told ABC News he had some advice for people who break the law. "Never talk when you can nod, and never nod when you can wink, and never write an e-mail because it's death. You're giving prosecutors all the evidence we need," he said.
I will never think of the phrase "stimulus package" in the same way again.
goddamnit, I knew I forgot a key word in there.
The bank records thing is kind of a red herring. He would have been caught anyhow when he instituted hooker-only hours at the Spitzer family pole-vault gym.

By the way, did anyone catch that on the news channels - at least this afternoon - they couldn't stop talking about Spitzer's education, as if that made the scandal inexplicable.
"Ludacris's ideal 'ho-highway' would be I-95."
"I took liberties with a tramp. They trampled our liberties."
"I fucked a working girl. They fucked the working man."
When asked about the possibility of prosecution under the Mann Act, Governor Spitzer shrugged and replied, "What can I say? I've got hoes in different area codes."
Also, it's somewhat amusing how much of the complaint details conversations about "Client 9"'s inability to get a deposit in on time, and the possibility of prepaying for the future in order to avoid those problems.
"What we really have here is proof that trickle-down really doesn't work well at all."
"Suspicions were raised when Governer Spitzer put a large, framed print of this map in his office.
97: "But with 'Ludacris' crossed out and replaced with 'Governor Spitzer' and several more area codes filled in."
Goddamit!
Pwned, and not in a sexual way.
"Client 9" is an accurate characterization. But it should not be the full measure of my status as a public servant.
Pwned, and not in a sexual way.
Sez you.
I bet you got a discount for the second hour. So you see, it was really quite reasonable.
In fact, the service did offer a 4-hour discount to another client ($1,000/hr. or 4 hours for $3,600) as well as a discount for cash.
(I'm prurient. I browsed through the affidavit.)
"When I went to Washington, I took a special interest in a prostitute. My opponents, on the other hand, have whored themselves out to special interests."
I think Knecht wins so far.
Not that there aren't many other worthy entries. It's an honor just to be nominated, you know.
Re: 94 and discount for cash
The thought I had every time I watched the Sopranos: Good heavens, if they put this much work into legit jobs, they'd make just as much money.
Seriously, the problems of client services are pretty much the same. They don't pay, they can't be relied upon to pay later, if they actually do get their act together, you're sufficiently grateful that you give them a cash discount.
"Welcome CNN, MSNBC, Fox News. I can't say I'm happy to see you all, but at least someone else is paying you whores."
"For our economy to function properly and live up to its full potential, consumers must have full confidence in the integrity of markets. As you know, I have previously taken on powerful interests to expose the abusive practices and conflicts of interest that unlawfully enrich service providers at the expense of their customers. This time, I have personally led an investigation into an industry rife with corruption: an industry in which brokers exploit a lack of transparency to collect exorbitant rents from buyers and sellers, in which smalltime buyers are routinely ripped off by unscrupulous sellers, and in which small-scale sellers have their access to the marketplace impeded by criminal cartels. Fellow citizens of New York, if this state is to remain a world leader in the sex trade against competition from other global centers--if New York is to succeed in an age where prostitutes can cross national borders to wherever returns are highest--we must force the industry to adhere to a higher standard."

Yglesias turned his blog over to his girlfriend twice today? It's not like he's the kind of blogger who needs to scramble for content.
That said, I've met Sara, and she's pretty much the eidos of "petite." So I can see why she's upset.

Anyway, this is seriously fucked up - note that the whole case appears to revolve around doing a random social graph plot of a state governor's bank account (who just happens to be on the other side) just because....LOOK! TERRORISTS!...and stumbling on a large cash payment or six, and then whacking in the taps.

Off topic:
Do people outside Mississippi vote at the local church, or is that just us barefoot rednecks?
My voting places for the past 3 addresses have been the Baptist church down the road, the local junior high school, and the VFW hall.
Do people outside Mississippi vote at the local church, or is that just us barefoot rednecks?
You guys have FEET?!? Rich s.o.b.'s.
Actually, there should be a second church in there, and the past four addresses. But perhaps NC isn't any less barefoot and redneck than Mississippi.
I have to disagree with Sara that 5'5'' and 105 pounds isn't petite. Either 'petite' means 'not tall, and delicate looking', and being 105 pounds seems to qualify, or 'petite' means 'needs to buy pants that are shorter than average', and that can be true at 5'5''.
Churches (and schools) are very common polling places IME.
This Eurosophisticate votes at the Christian Science church. Because it's free and it's got a big hall, I think.
Mostly elementary schools IME. They're conveniently dispersed throughout the community, and the kids get a day off.
Notes from Mississippi:
--My office mate saw Obama on TV last night, speaking in Mississippi and apparently doing a really, really bad attempt at a Southern accent, which vexed her greatly.
--My 6th grader reports that his classmates overwhelmingly favor Obama, and that John McCain is "like, really really old" and "will probably die while he's president" if he's elected. I forgot to ask what they think of Hillary.
--Went in to vote and found several tables put together for the Republican primary, with old white folks behind them. I walked over to the single Democrat table with a black lady behind it. "This is the *Democrat* table," she advised me, evidently afraid I was making a mistake.
/threadjack
5'5, 105 pounds sounds unhealthily skinny to me.
I've had elementary schools & the odd firehouse.
It's certainly out there in terms of being unusual. For someone with a really small frame, it might be healthy, but way on one side of the bell curve.
$4300 in small bills might weigh as much as the prostitute.
The place that I was most surprised at the voting setup was during my sojourn in Orange County, California. I literally voted in someone's driveway/garage. Very intimate (convenient though). And in the neighborhod I was in that also meant they could say: "the other Democrat hasn't been here yet" and I could reply: "She''ll come over when she gets home from work in about an hour."
5'5, 105 pounds sounds unhealthily skinny to me.
It's dancer-weight. My mom is 5'5", 105ish.
163: Yeah, so much so that I'm inclined to think "5'5", 105" is being used as a shorthand for 'thin and pretty' rather than her actual height/weight. That's supermodel thin, or to put it another way, nearly 30 pounds less than what I weigh at the same height.
I'm seriously looking at myself here wondering where 30 pounds could come from and thinking I'd have to lose a limb.
168: My mom's also around 100 lb and 5'4". We're small-framed folk. It's not that extreme, provided someone's skinny, small-framed and doesn't lift weights or anything to build muscle.
Also, I imagine it's more common on people in late teens and early 20s.
"This is the *Democrat* table," she advised me, evidently afraid I was making a mistake.
That would be hilarious if it weren't so depressing.
All the women in my immediate family are under 5'. The guys are 5'2--5'7". The next generation mostly follows the non-Emerson spouse in size, though one spouse is also tiny.
Also, I imagine it's more common on people in late teens and early 20s.
Eek, that too.
"the other Democrat hasn't been here yet"
Heh. My district is overwhelmingly Democratic, but when I voted in the last municipal election, I told the guy my name to verify that I was on the books, and he grinned broadly. Turns out his name was Barnes also, and he remarked that now two of the three Barnes in the district had voted.
"Yeah, the third one is my ex-wife. She'll probably be here around six when she gets off work."
My current local polling place is a church. In Seattle, it was an elementary school, but the school wasn't closed for voting day; you went in, the kids were milling about, it was all cool.
When I am Hitler I will move all polling places to taverns. Dry counties will be disenfranchised.
We need to have a WEST COAST Unfogged party
I've been thinking that summer would be a perfect time to do a PNW party because it's the one time of year that there's more daylight here than in CA.
175: My kids' school schedules a bake sale for elections -- you've got a captive audience of voters, and they're vulnerable to being sold cookies. They make a killing.
178: That is such a great idea that I feel Miss. is bound to have some kind of law against it. I will have to look into that ... maybe I can forestall next year's tuition hike.
re: 170
As said, it's not necessarily that tiny. I know from looking at weight classes that some of the people I train with are in that weight/height range. Slim looking, but not emaciated. Depends a lot on body frame, I imagine. Some other people would look near death at the same weight range.
I've been thinking that summer would be a perfect time to do a PNW party because it's the one time of year that there's more daylight here than in CA.
I was thinking that by suggesting it, B was implicitly volunteering to host it.
Any bets on who gets thrown into the koi pond?
180: Yeah; back when I was 5'7", 135, I was skinny in the 'knobby looking bones sticking out" sense -- losing any weight from that point would have looked awful. My mother, who's got a much smaller frame, was 5'9", 110 or so as a young woman, and doesn't look bad at all in pictures.
178: The local school where I vote also makes a killing that way, and I contribute to it.
(that said, I'm a bit grumpy about using packaged goods in a bake sale)
Body frames are ridiculous. There are 20-30 pound swings easy. I know people who look quite similar to me in frame who weigh 20 pounds or more less.
I was thinking that by suggesting it, B was implicitly volunteering to host it.
That works. I'm not sure who in the NW would be able to host.
I may be stuck in MN for a PNW party. Almost certainly so unless windfall $$$ appear. MPLS would be fun. A year from now I'll move back to PDX and stay mostly there.
nearly 30 pounds less than what I weigh at the same height. I'm seriously looking at myself here wondering where 30 pounds could come from and thinking I'd have to lose a limb.
Yeah, I'd have the same thought, though I'm a couple inches taller. It's in the build, certainly, and as Po-Mo said, not lifting weights or otherwise building muscle. But 30 lbs. less? I have pictures from the times I've been 15 lbs. lighter, about 120, taken from the rear in a halter top, and you can practically see my ribs. I found it fine at the time, but I've since been told that a few people were worried about me. Whether it's unhealthy depends, but it is a look.
There are 20-30 pound swings easy. I know people who look quite similar to me in frame who weigh 20 pounds or more less.
Yeah, in my case, me 10 years ago for example.
Why so many moves? Will you go back to work?
Half my family in each place. Lake Wobegon hometown life was fun to re-experience, but I turned into a city boy, with Portland counting as a city.
180, 182: Yeah, I get that frame makes a difference, it's just that I think I'd normally be described as a small frame, and a thirty-pound swing struck me as implausible.
Or, hey, maybe I'm just huge I don't know it.
"This is the *Democrat* table," she advised me, evidently afraid I was making a mistake.
Yglesias, in talking about the racial polarization of politics in Mississippi, made the stunning observation, based on the 2004 exit polling, that Bush got a higher share of the votes of self-described liberals in MS than he did of whites. (Of course, the sample size of self-described liberals in Mississippi is presumably small, so the margin of error on that subsample would be commensurately large.)
And in the neighborhod I was in that also meant they could say: "the other Democrat hasn't been here yet" and I could reply: "She''ll come over when she gets home from work in about an hour."
After the 1988 primary, I was talking on the phone with my mother about the results of the voting in our precinct. She said "Jesse Jackson got three votes in [Knecht's home town]." There was a pregnant pause, then she asked "Who do you figure the third person was?"
194: Skinny is in. No hips is in. Etc.
This stuff fucks me up some times. I should stop seeing all the sidebar ads for chicks chicks chicks, and the supermarket pseudo-porn celebrity mags and the tv promotion, and the blogs, and the slavering.
re: 194
I was under 130lbs aged 18. I'm 220lbs now. While I'm overweight now, and was skinny then, there are a lot of weights in between where I'd be surprised if anyone could tell the difference either side of a 20, 30 or even 40lbs weight range and that's on the same basic body frame. Add in the huge variation in body frames and it's not implausible at all.
Bush got a higher share of the votes of self-described liberals in MS than he did of whites
I call b.s. -- I've spoken to the other two, and they deny voting for Bush.
Did anyone make a "Top N things Gov. Spitzer should say in his next press conference" out of this thread? If so, can you forward it to me. I'm lazy.
43: I think the tagline for this blog ought to be "Unfogged: Born to pay list price".
Spitzer is expected to announce his resignation at 11:30 this morning.
I'm 5'10". After a year of studying in England and not enjoying the food and not being able to buy very much of it because of the exchange rate, I was down to 140 or so. Only my mom noticed a change. My girlfriend, who I hadn't seen in a few months didn't. Now, eating more and working out some I weigh 170, but I don't think most people could tell unless I had my shirt off or something.
Less of this please. (Picture attached to a TPM story about Obama expressing disagreement with Jeremiah Wright.)
