Imagine this: A governor has a scandalous affair with expensive prostitutes, then it all gets revealed and he resigns. Then rumors emerge about his return to politics as a gubernatorial candidate (I love that word), and then the mom of one of the prostitutes gets all upset about it. It sounds like an episode of Gossip Girl, right? Shockingly, it’s all really happening.
Carolyn Capalbo, mother of Ashley Dupre (the most famous of Eliot Spitzer’s call girls), told the New York Post that she was shocked about his possible run for governor. “Only in America,” she said. Which isn’t even really true…we’re the country that obsessed over Bill Clinton for years, while in Europe, politicians run around having affairs and nobody really cares.
“I really can’t blame him, but at the same time, my daughter’s having a rough go,” Capalbo continued. “I can imagine she’s not happy about it.” She added that Dupre, who was only 22 when Spitzer paid for playtime with her, has refused offers to cash in on the scandal, including posing nude in magazines.
A friend of Dupre’s also weighed in on the subject: ”The woman always ends up the filthy, marked whore and he ends up coming back the savior of politics. I feel bad for her. She’s the one who paid the price for it.” Yeesh. If she feels so bad maybe she shouldn’t be taking interviews and referring to her friend as a filthy whore…just a thought.

I'm sure she wouldn't have to do interviews and defend her friend from allegations of being a "dirty whore", if the media, gossip sites, and so on weren't always referring to her friend as a "dirty whore" etc.

Word is, he's lined up a teaching job at New York City College instead. Hmmm... all those young sexy college girls prancing around... What's a former governor to do? Yeah that's right... I said prancing. I went to college. I've seen it. :) More seriously, I find it hard to have any sympathy for Dupre. She didn't see herself as a victim while she was taking his money. Why now? Because everyone now knows what kind of person she really is? Boo-hoo.
