I'm trying to avoid this story --and finding it impossible-- and I ran into user comments on something or other that were nothing but intemperate shrieking about her being a whore.<BR/><BR/>For as long as there have been men and women (and that's a long time) there have been women with the power to separate certain men from their possessions and their common sense. Laws don't change that.deanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07410064795682939760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19897529.post-39403833385188654892008-03-14T10:57:00.000-04:002008-03-14T10:57:00.000-04:00My understanding is, this young woman is hoping to...My understanding is, this young woman is hoping to get some sort of record deal at some point in her life.

The girl may have beautiful looks to envy, but she's taken on one mean job. She deserves what she can get. And, the gov? He's got enough problems at home to deal with. Leave him alone. Leave'm both alone, unless you've got a few extra grand laying around otherwise useless.<BR/><BR/>DreadBeneath the Carolina Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11378676354922370500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19897529.post-90953141657176003212008-03-13T19:14:00.000-04:002008-03-13T19:14:00.000-04:00She's gonna be a cast member on some kind of reali...She's gonna be a cast member on some kind of reality show within a year.

Spitzer's apology and remorse feel genuine, and he seems to get the hypocrisy and the irony of being hoist on a petard that's got his name all over it. <BR/><BR/>So far I haven't seen anyone casting aspersions at this young woman. Maybe we've grown up.<BR/><BR/>Nah. Who am I kidding?

Personally, I think it should be legal and regulated. Like George Carlin said, "Fucking is legal. Selling is legal. Why isn't selling fucking legal?"<BR/><BR/>Maybe one of these days we'll get over our hangups and issues with what other people do with their lives.<BR/><BR/>I do, however, have a problem with hypocrisy. She's being brought into the media less for a context for what a governor did wrong than she is to pander to the sensationalism that sells papers.<BR/><BR/>She's going to be paraded around like a freak and be blamed for a governor's stupidity in an effort to minimize the damage to his political career, making her out to be the temptress and him just a weak willed man fulfilling his nightly urges.<BR/><BR/>I'm waiting for the "She's just a whore, after all," comments to pop up. "How can we believe her testimony?"<BR/><BR/>She's the one who's going to get vilified in this far more than Spitzer. And that just pisses me off.Stephen Blackmoorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01241134280141088631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19897529.post-64575094590316428432008-03-13T15:45:00.000-04:002008-03-13T15:45:00.000-04:00"...don't quit your night job."Well done.Dusty, sh..."...don't quit your night job."<BR/><BR/>Well done.<BR/><BR/>Dusty, she has a North Carolina connection according to the Times. For some reason, after reading that bio, I don't think she's all nostalgic about home, do you?David Terrenoirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09482864941636273068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19897529.post-21646222052019286892008-03-13T15:40:00.000-04:002008-03-13T15:40:00.000-04:00Okay, I listened to the samples and all I can say ...Okay, I listened to the samples and all I can say is: Ashley, hon, don't quit your night job.JD Rhoadeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07123361739160525998noreply@blogger.com
