Parker & Spitzer On Navy Video Flap

Quote Of The Day - Kristin Davis

"Why should the only woman running for state office be excluded? The debate shouldn't be a boys only club. Excluding blacks and women just because we lack access to huge special interest campaign contributions is just wrong. I favor letting all legal candidates debate. I earned my place on the ballot by filing over 22,000 valid voter signatures. I am a protest candidate, but I am a serious candidate." - Ex-madam Kristin Davis (in the camouflage pants above), complaining that she has not been included in the upcoming New York gubernatorial debates between AG Andrew Cuomo and teabagger whackadoodle Carl Paladino. Davis, who claims former NY Gov. Eliot Spitzer among her former clients, wants to legalize prostitution and marijuana in New York state.

Eliot Spitzer Lands CNN Gig

Former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer, who in 2008 dragged his scowling wife before the cameras to resign in a prostitution scandal, has been hired to host a new primetime show on CNN.

CNN announced Wednesday that it had hired former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer and conservative columnist Kathleen Parker to helm a new point-counterpoint show in the key 8 p.m. ET hour, recruiting two headstrong political figures in a bid to revive its flagging viewership. The network described the new program as a "spirited, nightly roundtable discussion program" that will be focused on the biggest stories of the day. "Other cable news channels force-feed viewers one narrow, predictable point of view; in contrast, CNN will be offering a lively roundup of all the best ideas -- presented by two of the most intelligent and outspoken figures in the country," CNN/U.S. President Jon Klein said in a statement. "Eliot and Kathleen are beholden to no vested interest -- in fact, quite the opposite: They are renowned for taking on the most powerful targets and most important causes."

Spitzer's exposure as a patron of high-priced hookers came after he'd spearheaded an anti-prostitution campaign as state Attorney General. Reportedly Spitzer was "insatiable," sometimes requesting more than one girl in a night. He also liked to keep his socks on. Spitzer's most infamous call girl, Ashley Dupre, finagled her notoriety into a career as a pop singer and sex advice columnist for the New York Post.
