Silda should have known the day she opened her Elliott's dresser drawer and it was full of condoms, empty Binaca bottles, furry handcuffs,hundred dollar bills wrapped with rubber bands, Hermes scarves, douche applicators,Viagra coupons, and a picture of Kobe Bryant signed by "that woman".

The 'lovely' lady pictured above most likely serviced the Governor south of the Tappan Zee Bridge, if you get my meaning.

So these big shot guys pay to have sex with women who will keep a secret so that their homelives and careers are not in jeopardy. How's that workin' out for ya, fellas?

What are you all going on about? Ms. Davis's appearance does not fit the stereotype of a prostitute.

Didn't you didn't know? All female hedge fund traders look like that. I thought that was common knowledge.

You're all so unsophisticated.

Maybe it's me, but i'm having trouble keeping all the Kristin Davis 'hos straight lately.

On a related note, perhaps that was Elliot's thang that Charlotte York was workin'

How would I know, you fucking idiot?

Novanglus,

We should ban drunkenness, smoking (oh, wait we nearly have already), obesity, and arrest people who don't clean up after their pets, right?

I mean you're into quality of life laws so why stop with two consenting adults in a paid service. Let's keep going! Hey, fattie taking up two seats on the bus, my quality of life is declining. Shower, too. Arrest this man please. You smell like cigarette smoke, too. Oh, you smoked in your own house, your own property? Tough. Arrest him.

So, that's a yes.

Who the fuck cares if she's Jewish or not?

i once heard someone say that they don't pay hookers for sex....they pay them to leave afterwards!

And they pay not to be blackmailed later or on the hook for child support. There are lots of reasons.

Is she Jewish?

I hope that its clear that I am not defending Spitzer. His hypocisy is obvious.

I suppose I should have said "we SHOULD not legislate morality as such..."

And BTW are all from someplace else.

If Spitzer or anyone else chooses to go to prostitutes, that's their choice. If you loose your respect for him because of that, that's your choice. But don't seek to legislate morality in capital letters.

Spitzer repeatedly broke laws that he enforced against others and, as Governor, he actively supported. Dismissing his criminal behavior as nothing more than a matter of choice is ridiculous, unless you are talking about his choice to commit a crime and risk getting caught.

"we do not legislate morality as such... but to guarantee life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness"? you must be from someplace else.

I consider myself a moral and ethical person. Sure, the common good is served by the justice system. Jurisprudence is based on common sense and, yes, a sense of morality to certain degree. But we do not legislate morality as such. We also don't legislate to create a perfect society, but rather to guarantee life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. If Spitzer or anyone else chooses to go to prostitutes, that's their choice. If you loose your respect for him because of that, that's your choice. But don't seek to legislate morality in capital letters.

Some people like to have sex with children. Some people are rapists who like to beat or kill the people they have sex with.Some people find it profitable to hold other people against their will so that people can pay to have sex with them. These are the situations we mean to address with prostitution's illegality, I guess this may inconvenience the socially lazy - aaannd...sorry about that.

Odd. What pro athlete needs to pay for sex?

i once heard someone say that they don't pay hookers for sex....they pay them to leave afterwards!

"Let me know your thoughts when it's legal and your kids are doing it. If you support that, you're either lying or don't deserve to be a parent. "

Red herring. What I think should be legal, and what I think is proper behavior for my children are two completely different things.

is that spitzer in drag?

Prostitution spreads disease, and I don't care where in the city it's happening, I don't want hookers wandering the streets.

In order for prostitution to work safely, which I agree it can, it would take quite a bit of regulation and maintenence. I'd rather have my politicans working on real problems that having to make laws so people who can't get laid can get some poon.

Therefore, keep it illegal and make the ugly losers in life deal with it. Use your fuckin hand and the intarweb.

Some MORALS should be applied to our laws. It's a shame that you people go to the extreme with the "Bah...do whatever you want!" becuase down the road it WILL affect you.

Let me know your thoughts when it's legal and your kids are doing it. If you support that, you're either lying or don't deserve to be a parent.

Why is it more appropriate for a guy to take a girl out to a fancy restaurant, a movie, and buy her a gift to get sex, but not OK for him to just skip the middle man and give her the money directly?

well, the theory is that the first approach might lead to a lasting relationship, marriage and procreation in a stable family relationship, benefitting society. Prostitution, on the other hand, generally brings higher risk of disease transmittal. Not always, but often the women involved do not enter that life willingly, have drug problems, etc.

I'm kind of split on the idea of legalization, but people who act as if there is no downside are fooling themselves.

Still, that doesn't change the fact that in Spitzer's case, he was prosecuting people for, and signing legislation against, the very conduct he himself was involved in for so long.

Or that this Davis woman is really strange looking.

How does having sex negatively affect your quality of life? Why is it more appropriate for a guy to take a girl out to a fancy restaurant, a movie, and buy her a gift to get sex, but not OK for him to just skip the middle man and give her the money directly?

omg yes! i would love to just pay some cash instead of suffering through miss petigrew lives for a day.
