This priceless excerpt from a low-budget infomercial for a leather store in New Hartford, NY stars an angry spokesman in an ill-fitting tuxedo going way off-topic in a seemingly improvised rant about how the economic tailspin was caused by Hillary Clinton and Eliot Spitzer's respective obsessions with the White House and hookers. None of it has anything to do with leather... or does it? A sample:

Everybody's crying about the economy... "Oh, my God things are so bad." Well, you know if—not for nothing; this is just a pet peeve—if Hillary Clinton didn't spend a whole year running for President instead of doing something for the state of New York, maybe we would be a little better. If Spitzer wasn't out there popping chicks like Bon Bons, maybe we'd be a little better... I'm not gonna badmouth, but I'm gonna badmouth.
And it gets much worse, which is to say better, from there. Particularly awkward are the three blandly-dressed young ladies inexplicably positioned in the background. If they're meant to be the back-up singers, this excerpt frustratingly concludes before the big "Hatin' Hillary" soul number. [Via Daily Dish.]

You knew it would come to this: Spitzer paramour Ashley Dupré is trying to parlay her infamy into regular fame with a career in reality television. Her lawyer says the former escort has “prospects for many exciting new projects” and she's headed to Hollywood. Though “a rep” for Dupre (presumably one rep on a team of many) admits she doesn’t quite have a TV deal yet, E! News is reporting that a dating show may be in development: "They are talking to MTV about Ashley being the next Tila Tequila." Anyone else relieved to have absolutely no clue what that means?
