The
Times is really, really applying itself to this Spitzer story, demonstrating such a shocking ability to uncover the truth.
If only the paper investigated the President's claims about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq with the same zeal it sought to uncover the identity of "Client 9" and, yesterday, "Kristen" the $1000/hour prostitute whose tryst with
Eliot Spitzer led to his political destruction, the entire geo-political landscape of the entire world might look very different today.
That said, we're thrilled that "Kirsten" has been identified as 22 year-old
Ashley Dupré, an aspiring R&B singer living in Manhattan's Flatiron district. "I just don't want to be thought of as a monster," she told the paper in an interview yesterday.
Don't worry,
Ashley. You're no monster. You're a gorgeous, $1000/hour hero, who's desire for easy money exposed one of the biggest hypocrites in contemporary American politics.
