- Well, today was quite a day, with Governor Spitzer's resignation bookended by more details about why the authorities were drawn to his activities with prostitutes - banks were alerted because of cash transactions! - and the revelation of who his expensive hooker "Kristen" actually was - a 22-year-old Jersey girl named Ashley. Here are some other interesting tidbits:
- Client No. 6 may be the richest man in England, the Duke of Westminster, Gerald Cavendish Grosvenor, who has a history of soliciting prostitutes. He's good friends with Prince Charles, he's Prince William's godfather, and he too wanted unprotected sex with a hooker.
- The Daily News has details on some of the other clients, including Client 4 who thought he could pass off the cost as a "business expense."
- Spitzer went to the Mayflower's hotel bar in search of a classical music CD. The Post suggest he was trying to set the mood with "Kristen."
- It's still unclear where Spitzer's state police were during the tryst, but a former state trooper, Assemblyman David Townshend, told the Times, "You have to balance security and privacy...Troopers are in a paramilitary organization, which means they are trained to take orders. If the governor told them to get lost because he wanted some privacy, they aren’t going to disobey that order or they might end up in worse trouble.”
