This entire report comes from the The Huffington Post

Today's NY Post links former New York governor Eliot Spitzer to Wicked Models, a high-priced prostitution ring busted this week. His spokeswoman denies he was a client. Three weeks ago Spitzer stepped down as governor when he was linked to Emperors Club VIP. Based in midtown Manhattan, Wicked Models was run by a buxom blonde named Kristin "Billie" Davis, who also saw clients. Davis, 32, is currently being held on $2 M bail after pleading not guilty to promoting prostitution and money laundering.

Writes the Post:

The ex-governor regularly patronized Wicked Models, the Manhattan-based operation taken down Tuesday, according to financial documents and other evidence unearthed in a yearlong prostitution in investigation, law-enforcement sources said...

A source said Davis personally serviced Spitzer.

"She personally interfaced with Spitzer a number of times" since 2003 before she became a madam, a source close to Davis said.

When asked about the allegation, Davis told The Post, "I can't talk about it." Spitzer's spokeswoman, Anna Cordasco, countered that "Mr. Spitzer was not ever a client of Ms. Davis."

Wicked Models is rumored to a have a client list that includes athletes and politicians. Writes the NY Daily News, who reported the bust but not the Spitzer link:

Investigators Wednesday night pored over the little black book of an alleged midtown madam whose clients are rumored to include athletes and powerhouse politicians.

Kristin Davis, a busty bottle-blond accused of running a $1,600-an-hour call girl service, was jailed on $2 million bail after pleading not guilty to promoting prostitution and money laundering.

"I think any time she got her hands on someone worth bragging about, she might have kept a memento," said Jason Itzler, the self-proclaimed "King of All Pimps," who claims Davis worked for him in 2004. "She was a rock star escort."

Davis' attorney blames Spitzer, indirectly, for her arrest. According to the NY Times

As Ms. Davis, wearing a black hooded jacket emblazoned with rhinestones in the shape of a flaming skull, stood in front of a judge, her lawyer, Mark Jay Heller, said that she was "clothed with the cloak of innocence" and was pleading not guilty.

Mr. Heller added that his client believed she was being "persecuted" because the recent investigation into former Gov. Eliot Spitzer's use of prostitutes had created a fervor about call-girl operations.

Wicked Models promised clients Ivy-league educated women and employed dozens of prostitutes. The Wicked Models website is no longer in service, touted, "Wicked Models is home to some of the most beautiful women in the world. We represent many different types of companions..."

Here we have a major clue to fundamentalists' obvious worries about the institution of marriage as a favorite legal form of human bondage.

What the solution could be is a far more difficult matter. All the legal promises in the world will not solve the need for some men to live out their fantasies. We could be more sensible, though, and admit that marriage is often more related to monetary gain than to respect and affection.

Why on earth would it matter to a patron of this company that their hired call girl has an ivy league education? I can't imagine why that would be a desirable asset for a call girl. On the contrary, it seems like it would be a liability: do you really want to spend $1600 per hour to spend time with a prostitute who might actually try to hold a conversation with you? What if she turns out to be smarter, better educated, and more interesting to you? What a turn off!

Unless this is just part of the fantasy--the customer can pretend that he could actually have a chance with a woman like that in real life?

Endorsement?

Is this article a tacit endorsement of the Republican dirty tricks brigade who have taken J. Edgar Hoover's place in power dirt? The least the leftists could do about the public outings by the morality-police-for- fascist-defense is to publically declare that it is what public officials do for the public that is of interest to us than official's sex lives in private.
