The day after his alleged tryst with a prostitute, New York Governor Eliot Spitzer was on Capitol Hill calling for Congress to “take action” to avoid a “financial tsunami” from the collapse of bond insurers. Speaking to the House Financial Services subcommittee on capital markets, Spitzer was in his familiar high moralistic mode, lambasting the Bush administration and calling for regulatory vigil.
“If we do not take action, this could be a financial tsunami that causes substantial damage throughout our economy,” Client 9 said. “The Bush Administration has looked the other way as this crisis moved from the financial markets into the entire American economy. This will affect the cost of college loans. It will affect museum budgets. It will affect state and local taxes. A collapse of bond insurers will adversely affect municipalities, investors and, if unchecked, many average Americans. ”
It was a typical Spitzer performance, marked by finger pointing and grabs for partisan political advantage. But Spitzer seems to have spent the hours before he played the part of crusading do-gooder in the arms of a prostitute for whom he paid thousands of dollars. He was regarded by the service as a “difficult” client, according to court documents. The girl they sent to him claimed to have special skills at dealing with his allegedly dangerous requests.

“The girl they sent to him claimed to have special skills at dealing with his allegedly dangerous requests.”
A bunch of us are favoring the “autoerotic asphyxiation” angle in regards to the “unsafe” nature of his needs.
What a great topic for a reader poll!
@ 9:45…bess already called it yesterday– anal w/o condom.
Not to be “that guy” but I don’t believe Client 9 was considered difficult but Lewis the pimpette states his requests may be unsafe.
Pg 30 of the complaint:
“Kristen” stated: ‘I don’t think he’s difficult. I mean it’s just kind of like . . .whatever. . . I’m here for a purpose. I know what my purpose is. I am not a . . . moron, you know what I mean.
Also, my vote per the “unsafe” requests is Space Docking
Choking out, or being choked out, just seems more in character for him than just some vanilla bareback anal.
@9:57 but you have to remember she called the requests “basic”
Why would he pay that kind of money for a service like that which you can get for a couple of hundred over here in Europe?
Anal is the new BJ…everyone knows that!
“Why would he pay that kind of money”
because he’s either a fucking sucker, or a sucking fucker. whichever.
Dangerous? Like in the backseat of a Volkswagen?
Great headline
Nice Mall Rats reference.
did anyone check if the tart was a TS?
People, look at the brightside.
Our heavenly crusader saved Kristen form a life of turning tricks.
Now she can look forward to:
-Book deal
-Movie Deal
-Record Deal
-Reality TV deal
-Ringtone deal
-Porn Deal
-Lawsuit gains from Spitzy’s family deep pockets
Maybe she’ll spark her own stimulus package for NY State!
