| Humor: Eliot Spitzer Vows To Crack Down On Excess Prostitute Pay |
| 2008-03-11 |
| Discovering that the exclusive international ring of prostitutes known as the "Emperor's Club" charged up to $5,500 an hour for their services, New York governor Eliot Spitzer vowed to put an end to this price gouging practice. Four people alleged to have run the "Emperor's Club" were charged with conspiracy to violate federal prostitution statutes, while two of them were also charged with laundering more than $1 million in illegal proceeds. "That kind of excessive compensation is simply outrageous. Prostitution is allegedly a victimless crime,” Spitzer said in a press conference that took place only in our imaginations. “But now we see that its customers can become its victims.” Spitzer added it was especially shameful that one of the most trusted names in prostitution had engaged in this shocking betrayal and rank greed.

| #1 "He would ask you to do things that, like, you might not think were safe - you know - I mean that . . . very basic things." "Kristen" responded: 'I have a way of dealing with that. . . . I'd be like, 'Listen, dude. You really want the sex?' . . . You know what I mean." Listen Dude. You really want the sex? That's worth $4300? Kind of a turn-off I'm thinking. |
