Politics & Crime Politickin’ With John Brown: When Cheating Politicians Publicly Repent

sanford-lead
Not long ago, I defended the ethical weakness of some lawmakers who deviate from their spouse. I argued that it was a personal matter; an expected side-effect of egotistical overachievers; a pimple on the face of otherwise unblemished leadership.

Well, Gov. Mark Sanford’s recent tryst complicates the issue. It’s one thing to duck the press and the wife, but something’s odd when your own staff thinks you’re hiking in the Appalachians on a squirrel and moonshine diet, when, in fact, you’re essentially a sex tourist in Argentina. Not a good look. Like all cheating politicians that get busted, Sanford faced the time-honored tradition of extreme public humiliation via press conference. Although painful to watch, these public displays of grief are necessary tools to heal our wounds of lost trust. Let’s a take a glance back…

Music Paul McCartney’s Sex Bill Way Bigger Than Eliot Spitzer’s

divorce_6.jpgWhile everyone’s jaw dropped last week when news circulated of Eliot Spitzer’s $1000 an hour romp with American whore Ashley Dupree, not to mention his past decade of hooker love totaling around $80k, many people were shocked at how expensive sex had become. But then today we heard that Heather Mills is set to receive a divorce settlement from Paul McCartney to the tune of $49 million'a chick he’s only been banging for like four years'and we quickly realized how small time Ashley Dupre really was. We don’t care how many book deals, Playboy offers, “What We Want” downloads, or any other lucrative prospects are on the table, there’s no way she’s banking like Heather, unless she figures out how to court Michael Jordan without a pre-nup'he still wears the crown with his divorce costing him an estimated record breaking $150 million bucks.

Sports Eliot Spitzer Chose His Number Wisely

spitzer-9.jpg
With the report of Eliot Spitzer's prostitute-smashing alias to be client #9, it got us thinking of what professional athletes Spitz was trying to pay homage to when he was putting work in at the 'tele. After some research, it was evident that the now defunct governor chose his jersey number wisely, and was inspired by athletes past and present like Ted Williams and Tony Romo. Check out the other pros who've worn #9 when it came time to score.

Politics & Crime The Daily Show Did the Best Job Roasting Eliot Spitzer

dailyshow.jpg
It’s so good that the writers are back to take advantage of the Eliot Spitzer hook-a-thon. They came in handy last night with this stupendously funny segment on the media’s OJ-esque coverage of the matter. But you can cash in on the real comedy gold at about the 4:06 mark, where they do this ‘Tainted Gov’ mock movie trailer for the disgraced governor, who doesn’t get officially replaced until Monday, which just happens to be St. Patty’s Day. Party time! But in fairness to all the late night comedy shows, Letterman’s Top Ten Eliot Spitzer Excuses from the other night is easily in running for the silver.

Girls Get A Piece From Spitzer’s Hooker For Under A Dollar

ashley-alexandra-dupre_115291_full.jpg
No, her rates haven’t dropped, we’re talking about Ashley Alexandra Dupre’s music (aka Nina Venetta). The melodic harlot responsible for overcharging the governor of New York for sex services, can be found on Amie Street, or what we like to refer to as the “ghetto iTunes,” where users determine the price of the music. She’s got two .98 tracks for sale: “What We Want” and “Move Ya Body.” Yesterday there was only one track and it was just .34 making the price of fame around 64 cents. Not so shockingly, she’s no longer using her MySpace to promote her multi-faceted talents, but we’re pretty sure you guys don’t give a shit about that, it’s the “definitive gallery” you really want.

Technology Eliot Spitzer Could Have Learned A lot From Drug Dealers

prepaids.jpg
Although it’s true that it was his bank and later the IRS that first raised the red flags that initiated the FBI investigation of hooker-loving ex-Governor Eliot Spitzer, all the text messages and phone calls certainly didn’t help his case any. Considering he was the Attorney General of New York and busted up a few hooker and drug rings in his day'giving him intimate knowledge of evidence gathering and building a case'makes him even stupider for getting busted with any cell phone records whatsoever (read some of the texts here). Client-9 should have applied some covert common sense and bought himself a bunch of pre-paid throwaways like most responsible drug retailers do, shit even an episode in season three of The Wire covered disposable phones. Plus he could have went a step further and only texted, further reducing any identifying trace, since his voice wouldn’t have been captured like a fingerprint. Every major carrier offers pre-paids, so we took a look at some of the sleek ones'with dude spending $4300 an hour on prosties as hot as this, there’s no reason for him to get a chump phone'that could have helped keep Spitzer’s hot dog out of boiling water.
