Supposedly, disgraced former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer is considering another run for public office, and the mother of the call girl at the center of the scandal that brought down the “Love Gov” is speaking out. In an interview with the New York Post, Ashley Dupre‘s mother, Carolyn Capalbo, opined of Spitzer’s slow-but-steady career resurrection: “Only in America.” Dupre, in contrast, is “having a rough go”; surely, coming back from being outed as a sex worker who brought down a politician is no easy feat. A friend of Dupre pointed out that in this case the woman gets the short end of the stick: “The woman always ends up the filthy, marked whore and he ends up coming back the savior of politics.” Dupre may have gotten paid, but it seems she’s the one paying now.

Nah, I think Spitzer is pretty filthy. At least Ashley was hot though, also it’s not like he’s into Nazi bondage orgies *cough*Max Mosley*cough*

I agree with the article. A woman who sleeps with a lot of guys is called a whore and not thought of as the same, whereas a guy is looked up to in some way by other guys, and his ‘accomplishments’ are not holding him back. Even if guys get called a player and whatnot, it’s still not as bad as for women who have sex with lots of men.

Its up to members of society to change that “double-standard” think. If she has to pay then make him pay by not voting for him. See how many people run with that one.

He is definitely no prize and is a total sleazebag but…Umm…it is seriously redic that her mom is whining that she is known for being a whore. Guess what? When you have sex with men for money that is called…A WHORE. It has nothing to do with sleeping with a lot of men. If you don’t want to be called a whore, don’t have sex for money.

I think we should shift our focus from Ashley and her mother on to Eliot Spitzer, who is actually considering running for public office again! I thought this video covered the issue rather well.

Funny how some folks seem to be coated in Teflon.

Who would never get insulted on the statement of Ashley Dupre about women? Carolyn Capalbo ordinarily wouldn’t make press, but she has been granted a bit of a platform due to who she’s related to. Carolyn Capalbo is the mother of Ashley Dupre, the high priced call girl who made national headlines after it was discovered that one of her clients was then New York Governor Eliot Spitzer. Spitzer is rumored to be considering running again, and has been talking to friends of his about doing so. Capalbo is appalled – and also has been vehement that he gets none of the blame and her daughter takes the heat instead of the philanderer that once held office. Carolyn Capalbo is one of many that think it will take more than fast cash to restore Spitzer’s credibility.
