‘Me Too’ Madam Compares Eliot Spitzer’s Show to Alleged Bedroom Prowess

» 23 comments

The Drudge Report is running the headline “MADAM: Spitzer as boring on TV as he was in bed…,” which links to a Radar post that has Kristin Davis (no, not that Kristin Davis) comparing Eliot Spitzer‘s new show to his alleged prowess with Davis’ stable of prostitutes (no, not that stable of prostitutes). Davis is the former “Manhattan Madam” (and current gubernatorial candidate) who claims that Spitzer was a client. In what is likely the biggest lapse in call-girl ethics since Julia Roberts let that “no kissing” rule slide, Davis uses her former employees’ watercooler chit-chat to give Parker Spitzer a different kind of “thumbs down.”

Here’s the money quote from the pimp-turned-TV-critic:

“I really found Spitzer to be very boring,” buxom madam Kristin Davis exclusively told RadarOnline.com.

“That is sort of synonymous of what the girls told me about him in bed, that he was boring, so I guess the expectations were met.”

She goes on to compare Spitzer’s appearance to that of a “gremlin” (sure to enrage Gizmo fans and ugly 70s car enthusiasts alike), a reference to an interview in which Spitzer spoke of his flaws as “gremlins.”

This is nothing short of an outrage. Everyone has a code to live by, and even though Spitzer violated his, two wrongs don’t make a right. When he paid $4500.00 a night to Ashley Dupre´, a New Jersey native who ran away from home to escape abuse, he wasn’t just paying for sex. He was paying for her silence. Assuming Spitzer really was a client of Davis’, he had a right to expect the same.

Davis did have some kind words for Spitzer co-host Kathleen Parker, saying “”I thought Kathleen Parker did a good job, and I don’t know how she stomached sitting next to him.”

While not a professional TV critic, the Manhattan Madam does have a decent case, if the show’s somewhat flaccid ratings are any indication. On that score, here’s what Spitzer told Mediaite:

“It takes time for most successful shows to build an audience. There will be interest from the beginning, and we hope to entice some of those people to stick around. We also know these things do not happen overnight.”

To which the audience replied, “It’s no big deal. It happens to lots of guys.”

    Unlike Righter, Nutso, Michelle-in-Utah and All Her Other Various Names, and Sara N. Italy, I am seldom given to fear. However, there are three fears I cannot overcome:

    #1 Miracle Whip.
    #2 Fig Newtons.
    #3 Women with Tatoos.

  • ZoneDaiatlas

    Both Eliot Spitzer and Keith Olbermann share something in common. There TV Show isn’t the only thing that gets low rating…

    The King is a tough guy. There may not have been any Crips or BGD members at his all white private schools, but there was one guy who’d spent too long in a tanning bed.

    Too short. Small stride.

    Yeah. Saw him featured on both the Gangland and Lockdown shows. According to them, you’re making it all up.

    “That is sort of synonymous of what the girls told me about him in bed, that he was boring…” Take issue with his show, fine, but, uhh…you’re a prostitute. Isn’t it your job to make thing interesting? He gave you money, what you want him to sweep you off your feet too? Where’s the gratitude in this business nowadays?

    I would think most prostitutes find their Johns boring. That’s why they call it work.

    As someone named John, I resemble that remark.

    Yeah, it makes me wonder what they think about when they’re “entertaining.”
    “Yeah, baby, just like that!” ((Need to pick up more Strawberry Yoplait at Wegmans later.))
    “Oh, gawd, you’re so big!” ((Jeez, this guy’s got more back hair than a Yeti.))

    Things like that I would guess.

    Looks like he’s wearing a mohair suit.

    Not a Spitzer fan but really, who next do we have to hear from with their completely irrelevant opinion of the new show, his urologist? Maybe we can get his garbage man to weight in?

    “I would think most prostitutes find their Johns boring. That’s why they call it work.”

    —I can’t believe it but for once we agree. It’s not the job of a John to entertain a prostitute, it’s not his job to ensure that the prostitute achieves an orgasm (do they ever?), the job of a John is to have fun, the job of a hooker is to provide that fun. I also think it’s very poor taste to talk crap against your former clients.

  • writer

    As Bill Maher would say, you get what you pay for.

  • greg454

    The hookers got $4,500 for one night of work which is $1,500 more than what I get in a month, so who are they to complain? Would they rather be entertained and not get anything?

  • TfT

    I’m proud of you Tommy – I thought for sure when I saw this headlined at Drudge, it would be reported here. But alas, you did it.

    Bwahahaha

    P/S isn’t getting very good press, mostly because it doesn’t deserve it.

    Poor CNN….it just doesn’t get it.

    When a client is a politician who is prosecuting other people for engaging in prostitution, or supporting such prosecution, they’ve given up their right to silence, just as closeted gay legislators who vote against equal rights for GLBTQ people deserve to be outed. Kristin Davis did the right thing by outing Client #9 (aka Eliot Spitzer).

    Yep

    And how in the hell would YOU know?? I’m off to get tested!!

    —You can condemn the hypocrisy, but you don’t have to mention whether the politician is good or not in bed. By the way, what does the Q in GLBTQ stand for?

    the purpose of a whorman is to lay there and be quiet…much money is given to women who could do that …so I guess this whorman will not be in office…disobey one rule than others will follow
